Printing White s80600

Looking for best method to printing a flood coat of white on clear vinyl for reverse stick decals. I know it's never going to be 100% opaque, but I'm hopping for better results then we are currently achieving. We have tried some different profiles (canned) and different pass counts, all the way up to 48 pass. Also we have changed the white ink to limit to 400%, not sure this is helping?

Really printing white is new to us so we are kinda just throwing darts. Anybody care to share what works best for them?

 

In my first post I referenced changing the white ink limit to 400%. That was wrong it is the white ink density. Different profiles have this number set differently. If you increase the number of passes the ink density number decrease. Can somebody explain the relationship here? Seems to make sense that if you are doing more passes, then less density per pass, but I'm just guessing here.

 

Yes we always did these in the past backing with white clear adhesive vinyl. Wasn't too bad on the roland but does add a ton of time and hard to utilize a take up reel or automated cutting. We are using summa barcode now and the added time to cut those marks out is too much.

We got it to print acceptable white flood for reverse stick decals, just want to get it as good as the epson can possibly do it.

The amount of time we are saving by printing the white and using the summa barcode, flex cut, and take up reel is huge.
