Yeah I considered that for the clear. Problem is that white doesn't cure properly when you print it at anything less than 100% opacity, so what I was doing was printing the white and then putting a layer of clear/gloss over it to protect the white from coming off. Do you even print on acrylic?

I do minimum 4 jobs a week, shake the white and run a test print every morning so it's not like it's sitting for ages in between jobs. The banding and other issues have been a problem from the start. I don't use white or clear hardly at all so it's basically wasting as much white/clear during...

Yeah. The slower the heads the worse the banding is. You'll notice that in all of the white modes, the head speed is 1000 mm/s which is it's max. You might think that the high amount of passes in those white modes might be what fixes the problem, but if you print in artistic mode, the banding is...

It's not even that it's a lemon really. We're in manufacturing, not printing, and sometimes you just make something that simply will not work for whatever reason and it's easier to just start over. My problem is their complete lack of respect for their customers time. I honestly can't imagine...

While I'm happy to hear yours is working well and you don't have any of the issues I do, it's even more infuriating that it's capable of functioning properly yet Roland has been giving me the run around for months now. Over the last four months I've sent them countless impossibly long and...

I've been putting off writing this for a couple months now due to the fact that Roland will definitely read it and probably provide even crappier customer service than they have been, but at this point I'm realizing it doesn't get much worse so to hell with it. This will however be the ultra...

Yeah thats my worry. A lot of what we do is full bleed and black. I think I'll just pull the trigger on the Seal and hope I can find laminate that works. Not many other options at this point anyways. Thank you all for your help!

Newp. Just applied it with a roller per the instructions. I get that it doesn't stick to this crappy Roland UV ink, but it still just doesn't seem to be very effective. I can put scratches and scuffs into it with light fingernail scratches. Maybe it's because it's a matte finish.

Also, is it possible to laminate printed panels with these machines? We'll be laminating directly to 3/16" to 3/4" thick acrylic and wood. I see plenty of videos of laminating vinyl prints but none of people laminating thick substrates. Is it just not common or is it not possibly/really difficult?

I emailed them to see if they had any laminates that'd meet our needs. When you say "not perfect" what do you mean? We make furniture and one use will be to protect branded table tops so it really does need to come out pretty perfect since people will be sitting inches away from them vs. passing...

Hey all. We've got a roland uv flatbed and I've been trying to find a solution for protecting the prints. We were looking at a heat assisted SEAL laminator a few weeks ago. We did some tests on the non heat version and the results we're ok but not amazing and the adhesion to the uv ink didn't...
