How do the big guys print on the backing paper?

Yup, Question is in the title. What tools or machines are used for printing instructions on the backing paper of lets say, 651 or any vinyl backing for that matter..

Thanks for your help,

We print a grid on the backing of our Instant Granite. We just feed our 5110-g which is comparable to the 651 with the backing paper up and print 51 copies of our 3' x 3' grid. We set the profile on fast print, 4 pass, and we are able to turn off the heat. Super easy. Takes about 2 hours to print the entire 150' length of the roll on our JV33 and 4 hours on our JV3.

Also, don't forget to make sure the take-up reel is turning in the correct direction.

Awesome, I have considered this, But I was not sure if the backing paper could take the solvent ink. I did not even know my cjv could run a 4 pass lol. Now the big question. Ink consumption?

Our grid and logo are black & white so there is very little ink consumption. I imagine if you are just printing instructions, it wouldn't use that much ink.

Right on, Is there a typical rate for this option?
