printing on matte white

[Dave Stacey]

A customer of mine needs matte yellow stickers with black text printed. They had to match a sample they had already. I was in a hurry so I printed on the Edge a solid Gerber Process yellow foil on a matte white I had. It still was a little glossy but they said it was okay. Today I'm trying to print a spot black on the matte white but is coming out extremely blotchy. I've tried overprinting & printing in Edge1 mode with no change. I can't find a good yellow on the Roland. Can anyone suggest something?

Thanks Dave

How many do you need and at what size ??

have you tried turning up the heat setting on the Edge? Fred may have more knowledge, but I remember edging things mattes sometimes needed more heat for the foil to transfer.

I only printing 11" x 6ft of vinyl ,different text 2.25 x 14"
Good wholesale customer, mostly prints on regular white vinyl.

Well, you could try printing on anything and then applying a matte laminate

I've gone to the 123 settings & increased the overprint & heat. The yellow printed fine. I even tried printing the black twice using "home"

Why don't you find a matte yellow vinyl and print black directly to it using any machine at your disposal ??

2 of my suppliers said they don't have a matte yellow. The biggest problem is getting it done for tomorrow.

See, you left one of the main ingredients out of your original post. Sorry, you're on your own now.

i'd use gloss vinyl and print a matte clear over the top. - P66870A - GCF-334
