Hi,
We experience a silvering effect when laminating a cast vinyl print produced by the Mimaki UCJV with LUS170 inks. By silvering I mean that dark printed areas appear more greyish after laminating. When applying pressure like scratching with a fingernail the silvering effect is greatly diminished.
Currently tested are Orajet 3951 + Oraguard 293 and Grafityp AE38P with LAMX30. Tried temp from 40 to 60°C. (104 - 140°F). We notice however that 60°C it's better than at 40, but the silvering is not entirely gone. We have a customer however who's very picky about this.
Can anyone share some thoughts?
Request for more info is being sent to both the printer and media suppliers.
Regards,
Yann
