  1. Assistance printing on Styrene

    Hello guys I need some assistance with an upcoming project I have. I have an HP R2000 and I need to print a large amount of 5’x10’ styrene sheets (0.03) for a customer. The issue I am having is that the boards curl up due to the heat/static constantly causing head strikes. I’ve lowered the...
  2. Printing on .40 streyne with Scitex FB700

    I am having one heck of a time printing quality prints on styrene .04 with the Scitex FB700.

  4. 20 pt ABS Board

    Does anybody have any experience printing on ABS Board with a flat bed printer. I recently tried and the sheet kept warping and bubbling up causing the print head to hit it. I think the heat from the UV bulbs was causing this. Does anybody have any suggestions to stop this problem???

    I'm launching a new product this spring which requires flatbed printing on styrene and laser cutout. Overlay isn't cost effective and I can't use router cutting. I will have approx 70-80 cutouts for a 4x8 sheet full color on .080 Styrene. I am doing prototype testing and trying to find a...
