I am curious, you don't use a full film for the entire surface of the acrylic print? Isn't there excessive force on the ink, since the surface area is small using a tape and the ink is a point of contact between the tape and the metal?
I am using a 40x60 machine. I which I purchased the full size machine instead. Too many jobs lost not being able to do a full sheet. The difference in footprint between a 40x60 and a full 48x96 isn't that much. Make sure the machine and your location can handle coroplast as static will be an...
I think I posted on another thread. Not easy to get great BW. I suggest converting to Grays ale and back to color. I have 2 printers. Epson 6370 and Mutoh 900x. Epson using canned profile which for me is great and the Mutoh using a deep black. Mutoh is better in blacks but not perfect...

For Black & White Prints we always had issues.
We established a...
We always compare the transfer paper before & after. Humidity, pressure and other factors have a lot to do with color output. Do you have color inconsistencies on the transfer paper?
I am looking to see if someone is available to do video/ phone training about servicing & maintaining a Mutoh. Also on setting up color profiles. I have no dealer/ tech in my country & have been mostly lucky trying to maintain the machine ourselves. At this point I am looking for a...
