Order it from a wholesaler. Will be less expensive than you think and look nice. I have acoustic panels in my house and I can't see myself UV printing on them. If your UV printer has soft ink you can print on material. Mine is hard ink. Which I think would not be ideal for sound absorption.
We never had the green color problem till we changed Black Inks (still Epson just a refill). We will be cleaning out the old black and trying a new black to see if that helps. How do you make your custom profiles? Are you using Epson for the rip or other. I have the option to use Flexi which...
How about caring the ACM with a spray laminate or roll laminate after UV print on the ACM. We do use pretreatment for adhesion promotion for all our UV long term prints with good results. So far 1 year in direct sunlight in the Caribbean.
We use the 6370 as well. We have experienced the same green shift even when printing with Rich Black. We will be testing some adjustments shortly but everything g was fine till recently. But on some prints we are getting a perfect black. I need ti measure the color mix to see the difference.
What about something like Quick Snaps that you can mount with adhesive to the back? I have been using them quite often as cost effective with bi component glue.
Also what thickness of tape do you use? Most of my experience is in metal sublimation and we use a self adhesive PVC cleat system that has been amazing both cost wise (almost the same cost as VHB tape per inch.
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...
Just buy and Epson small format sublimation printer. Not a repurposed one but one designed for sublimation. I wish they made them years ago. You are lucky they are available now.
I have one. I find it so so. It is a bit flexible so that affects the alignment. You can align the laser somewhat. I would prefer a manual more solid item.
No sticking w. Duraluxe & higher success rate. Might be the paper, temp. We have had high failure rate on large format Polyester based metal with flaking edges.
Do you sublimate your chart on Chromaluxe & then measure? Do you have different profiles for different sublimation products. I am still using Epsons profiles usually print 8 pass but we use Duraluxe as our main metal. In my environment Chromaluxe fades fairly quickly.
