Eco Sol on uncoated paper?

I need to print on an uncoated, bond like paper with my Mutoh. Is there such a thing? I've been using Intelicoat glossy photo paper and the customer wants their prints on cheaper paper like we do their "blueprints" on. I'm not worried about the cost, I'm covered even with the glossy photo paper. My supply salesman came back with empty hands and no suggestions, anyone?

Thanks!
 
Not gonna happen with (eco) solvent ink. All papers will require a coating for compatibility with the solvent ink. You'll get tremendous bleed and terrible color without coatings.

You would need another chemistry of ink (UV-curing or some aqueous) to print onto raw uncoated paper.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
There's all kinds of poster paper for solvent printers. I've be using InteliCoat 6mil to good effect. There's other brands as well.

Poster paper is cheaper than photo paper, prints every bit as well, and it doesn't crack if you bend it too sharply.
