Except UV unwrapping is fine for CGI work. OP wants to make physical wraps on real world physical items. UV maps arent the correct solution for this... Sadly, ExactFlat and Fusion360 and TouchCAD are the only real solutions I've found....

You can use any pigment inkjet ink/film for photopolymer plates. (I'm assuming waterwash out) I've got a orbital platemaker and Epson inkfilms work fine. Halftone, Stochastic, etc For that matter, any ink on film will do.. you just need to make the ink output density very high. It's got to...

Tell us what the specs are on the job

flatbed

I would make my own inks... I just need the 'system' I'd make the inks/paints to put in a refillable system. Do all the cleaning, flushing... I just need the hardware/software

Yes, make a printer using the industrial heads or high resolution valvejets. Use commercial parts/control boards/motors/etc Bundle it all up as a custom oil paint printer

What kinds of material do you plan on printing on? What are you currently printing on? I'd check to make sure the white inks are not expired. Also, check the printer head height. Try printing at the lower head height first, then the high position head height. I think the suggestion of...

Well, if you can figure out a 'open source' type of inkjet printer, cobbled together from all these Chinese machines/parts... I think you might want to offer it for sale. Like a custom motorcycle builder, or a custom PC builder. I'd be interested, especially if you can figure out a way so I...

What printer model?

i1pro3 publish is what I use... excellent display, scanner/input, output profiles RGB and CMYK

Post any images of this cup. Client wants the cup to change shape into a bucket? Not sure I understand exactly what is being requested.

Just my 2 cents. Do not run expired inks. We've been experiencing drop in print quality due to the inks going over the expiration date. Flushing the old ink out resolved our 'blurry' dot on dot issues...

From a printer's perspective: not sure this is just 'semantics' Dye-based inks are made from dissolved colorants, while pigment inks are made from suspended solid colorant particles. Color Dye-based: Creates vibrant colors that seep into the paper Pigment-based: Creates stable colors that...

Ok, great. Can you DM me your contact information. I'd like to send some contract work to you.

You should look up the difference between dyes and pigments, I think you might be surprised.

Can you take fine art papers (200gsm - 330gsm) and run them through your printer? How large can you print on the water soluble printer? thanks

Thanks for the reply... however, dyes have much more water solubility then any of the aqueous pigment inks. This is what I'm looking for....

Resurrecting this older thread. Is there anyone on this forum that runs a inkjet printer with dye inks?? Can anyone recommend a place? (any location in the US is fine) thanks

You aren't using the highest resolution. Select the 1440x1440 setting That's the resolution (assuming you are using the highlighted blue selection of 720 x 1440 dpi)

make sure you are printing at the highest resolution Versaworks or your rip allows. (This will typically be the slowest print speed)
