  2. UV Topcoat or Aqueous

  10. New flatbed digital- 110,000 sqft/hr

    No sir, it does not only print to paper, it can ONLY print on rigid substrates. It will print to corrugated cardboard, foam-cor and possibly corr-plast and pvc. We have not yet tested that. This printer will use similiar inks as the HP FB6700 which is capable of printing corrplast with the...
  11. New flatbed digital- 110,000 sqft/hr

    I accept your 'doubt' regarding the capabilities of this printer. I suggest that you look at what HP has done with the T300 or Agfa has done with the Dotrix. Imagine 2 or 3 of these aligned with each other. Yes, this is several million dollars and it is not a bed printer. The Inca is not...

  16. Color Management Question

    Thanks for all the answers: Is there a device, or technique I can adopt that will print more precise "tweeners". We are printing for the packaging industry. Most eveyone is typically using offset or flexo and they always get thier spot colors.
  17. Color Management Question

    OK, probably a very basic question but I am stumped. We print with a 6 color Gandi UV flatbed. We have built ICC profiles for our substrate. The profiles are close, but definitly not a perfect match to Pantone values. I am told, that they never will be with UV inks. When a customer gives us...
