posters, vp-540, drying time, versaworks ???

[Replicator]

My banners come off of the 540 dry as a bone, but my posters (matt finish) come off the printer wet and usually take several hours to dry.

Any recommendations on settings or profiles that will help with this issue.

I am currently using profile : GPPM Photo Matt Paper, with Aspire AIP-SP-54 Solvent Paper.

Thanks for any help and/or suggestions or experience with this issue . . .

Hello, hello, hello . . . Is there anybody out there ?

Hey boss, photo papers for some reason tend to just be kinda a pain. It might be the product your using because in general matte finish items should be the quickest drying. For matte paper you should be using like a 140 gram wet stength paper. Are you willing to try other solutions as far as papers go?

try this: go to magicinkjet.com and look up GFIOP212 or GFIOP140 and then download their ICC profile. (Im pretty sure they have it for your machine) Then try your matte paper again, maybe their profile will help.

I will contact my vendor and ask for samples of other alternatives . . . Thanks !

(Generally) paper dries slower than vinyl, but there are paper medias that print better than others...and some much worse too! Profile makes a huge difference too.
