UPDATE: Printer has been claimed. Thanks for all the interest.

I'm printing photos on acrylic at 720x1440 with a UV printer that has Epson DX8 printheads. Does anyone have any Dither Type recommendations for getting the best photo printing results? Also any suggestions for settings on handling gradients in photos? Thanks!

I never realized there would be a difference in printing whether it was horizontally flipped or vertically flipped. Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely need to test it out!

CONTINUED... Why not print to white vinyl instead? If you print to clear vinyl don't you run into the same problem with needing a white backing if it's not going to be backlit? Also how do you stick the vinyl to the back of the acrylic? One of the things we wanted to avoid was long...

Most of our prints will be about 9x12 or smaller.

Hi Andy, No, not back light. That's why I think I could just print a layer of white ink over the top of the printed photo image.

Thanks for the comments. I am just looking to print no the backside of the acrylic directly so you can look through the front to see the photo. You think it's better to mount a white piece of vinyl rather than just print a layer of white ink? Also I was looking for the process to prepare...

Sorry for the newbie question but how do you 'reverse' a photo image in Flexi to prep it for printing on the back of a piece of acrylic or glass? And also add a white layer on top of it. Thanks!

AWESOME insights, thanks so much! Our UV printer is from SinoColor in China. It runs Epson DX8 heads and Flexi has their printers in their configs. As much as people hate on chinese products, it's a solid, well-built printer with excellent tech support; and was 70% cheaper which was all we...

I'm new to Flexi and was wondering something... A hypothetical scenario... 1. You have a UV Printer and a jig that will print (12) iPhone cases at a time. 2. You allow customers online to design their own iPhone case design and their design gets saved to your server somewhere when they...

Thanks for your reply. I was trying to refer more to something like taking a batch of jobs (designs) and have the software (or some other script) manipulate them to fit into one large project. So let's say there IS a jig file & design setup. Let's say the jig holds (6) 12x12 inch pieces of...

Sorry for the probably dumb question as I'm new to RIP software... Let's say you have a UV Printer that has a print area that can print (4) 12 inch x 12 inch squares at a time. And let's say each square will be a different job (order). So you have four files... Customer1, Customer2...

I'm surprised to hear that the 3042 and 6042 will produce a sharper result. I thought they had similar DPI and printheads.

Great insights, thanks for the comments!

Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. :) I was wondering if some of you seasoned pros could offer me some much need advice... I'm looking to build a business that prints photos directly onto acrylic; no separate step with printing on paper first and face-mounting to acrylic. So...
