Even if you laminate aqueous vinyl and mount to magnet you will get 'wicking' of water' under the laminate from the leading edge of the magnetic print. Water tends to be forced into the edge of the graphic at 60 MPH. Once the water migrates under the laminate, mold will grow on the surface of...

rjs, That is a boatload of conjecture there with no hard evidence. Kind of useless as an explanation for Epson's delay of their product. BTW, we have a SureColor S30670 and it is awesome. Ink is readily available.

Since the Epson 9700 comes with UltraChrome pigment ink, can we assume you are using third party dye inks in your printer?

We have many customers who run vinyl and banners through their Epson printers. Obviously, no vehicle graphics but trade show work, short term outdoors (banners actually hold up quite well, especially with a quick clear coat). Many of our photographers and photo printers occasionally print...

Adjust the file for saturation in Photoshop not in the RIP. You'll have much more control and the adjustment layer can be tweaked to give you the look you want the RIP to print. After you make the changes, print a section of your file at full size so you can see if the adjustments hit your...

Using Epson heads and Epson design, just like Roland and Mimaki.

My guess - the capping sponge was full and swollen and it was high enough to touch the bottom of the head and cause siphoning to begin and, obviously, continue until the ink source was dry.

feckmo, The Epson tech would not be motivated to cause you to buy more ink. I'm certain that Epson would rather have a happy customer. You may have been joking, but that's quite a conspiracy theory.

The 7800 can't print to cast vinyl, which is what you need for vehicle wraps. You can print perforated vinyl for vehicle windows. They must be protected with cast laminate or clear spray. The spray works but allows dirt to build up in the open holes and will eventually impair vision and are...

What color space are you using in Corel? What media are you trying to profile? What software? What operating system? I assume you are referring to the Epson Stylus Pro 9700 (CMYKmK) printer marketed through Ricoh? Can Ricoh help on this since they have the exclusive on these units?

+1 for RGB - always, unless the file is going to an offset print house. anotherdog, you can still look at an image that is designed in an RGB colorspace (I like ProPhoto RGB or Adobe RGB 1998) and adjust it in terms of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. It'll still be an RGB image when you get...
