Need Help Ink not drying?

[JasonToledo]

Hello All,

I have a Mutoh VJ 628, eco-solvent and using Ai 2019. I've been making window sticker with no problem at all. However, I purchased some material for making posters from ebay 11mm thick and is glossy. My prints came out nice, but the ink wont dry. I waited till the next day and still smudges.....Any suggestions?

My guess is that that the paper is not made for eco-solvent printing. Paper probably has a coating on it. That or your laying down too much ink


Not judgeing but paper purchased on EBay?

Judge away. I need all the help I can get. So is it a setting or do you have a suggestion for the paper I need for making posters?

No setting will do anything for you. You need to get paper that's coated for solvent inks. Ebay is far from the best place to do that. Most any sign supply will have what you need.

What sign supply vendors are you using? Check with them what they carry.

For my eco-solvent we use Magic Eco Satin Poster Paper

We use:

For our solvent and UV probably and it works great, plus it's really inexpensive. I thought no we pay $.14 per sq. ft., And for that price I haven't found a poster paper that works better.

Best of luck!

Thanks for all the help everyone!....Looks like the sihl is great but no size 24.

We use miles of sihl paper. Maybe see if your vendor can sell you a 54" roll and then slit it to 24 inches for you.

Solvent inks don't require a coating. If the material you get has any type of special coating it won't work.
