Any link established here? Cant sleep. After watching a documentary on the History channel on Marijuana ( made me want to go get a 3 finger lid haha ) i figured i may as well be productive so here i am printing a wrap in the middle of the night. Cant sleep. Drinkin a beer. Mild solvent ink fumes seem to be having a coffee-like effect !!! Woo Hoo !!!

last panel first side almost done. all is well! my printer is slow, but working as nice as ever. at this rate i wont be done until about 11 EDST .
do you use a drier? i've got this homemade I/R drier that sure makes it nice for handling these prints right off the printer.

no drier, but the Mimaki has full solvent inks & heaters blowing on the print as it rolls out... by the time it gets on the take up spool, it seems fine...

ok, makes sense. now, how about if your printer has a take up reel, and no heater? does that mean you have to slow down the print speed due to dry time ?
