  1. Mimaki UCJV, cast vinyl, silvering effect after laminating

    Hi, We experience a silvering effect when laminating a cast vinyl print produced by the Mimaki UCJV with LUS170 inks. By silvering I mean that dark printed areas appear more greyish after laminating. When applying pressure like scratching with a fingernail the silvering effect is greatly...
