Good Evening,
Curious if anyone has any knowledge of any particular digital ink that will work in a Ricoh Gen 4 heads? The current ink we are using will not adhere to the acrylic without requiring an additional pass of UV (cure setting almost maxed out). The white that we are using adheres without any issues, but the CMYK appears to be cured, but as soon as we cut on our panel saw, laser or route, the ink will just flake right off when it is hit with compressed air.
We have an ink that we run in our other digital that has a Spectra head that does everything we need, but will not work in the Gen 4 heads.
Wiping the parts with an adhesion promoter is not valid as this will hamper our production times. Using Digital Acrylic is also not an option as the cost is 2x of what we pay for our standard acrylic which works fine on our older digital press.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
