so is this basically printing the braille as a UV-DTF transfer then?

Duraco makes all kinds of cool stuff, and if you contact them they will send a bunch of different samples in their pack.

Crazy concept, but if you're trying to match a colored red film why not just print a black to clear gradient on that red was your substrate? I know it's not technically the "right" thing to do, but I've printed on various cast and calendared colored vinyls with plenty of success in the past...

I'm not testing your link. :covereyes:

I think your link is broken :corndog:

Substance is damn good material. I just ordered some more today! :unclesam:

some of the 6 mil vinyls out there are pretty beefy, especially if it's still stuck to it's backing. Might help to narrow it down if you can tell us what it is or what it's being used for. Also, the print quality on that sample looks pretty crappy to me. Lots of banding. :-(

umm.... glass is usually considered a high energy surface that's generally easily "wetted out" or adhered to by adhesive molecules. If his jars and bottles are some sort of plastic (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc), then yeah it could be a low surface energy material .

looks like printed vinyl, probably matte finish and unlaminated (but the latter is just a guess)

Interesting technology. Do you have a presence in the US?

FWIW I've been using JetBest inks from Premier Colour for about a year now (waited until my Roland warranty was gone) and have been nothing but happy with them. https://www.premiercolour.com/collections/jetbest-ink-for-roland-printers

Oh that Continental stuff sound way cool

I've got reflective plastisol screen printing ink that works and looks pretty much just like that. It gives a whiteish/silvery gray color, and a single hit would look faded, but a print/flash/print double layer is pretty solid opacity without getting too thick. I wouldn't underbase with white...

Hi and welcome. Now go buy a Merchant Membership or your posts will go away for being the SPAM that they are.

weird question that just popped into my head from what hybrid design said, are you sure you're printing on the correct side of the film (if there is one, not sure about that).

Hello, new old guy! :welcome:

that looks like a head dragging across the print to me. Possibly your mat wasn't completely flat?

Hey Zach, it might help to know more about the exact types of signs you need to restore to get you better focused information. We all have strong and weak points. Some folks on here are vinyl jockeys, some do carved, some do channel letters, some paint, etc. Help us help you. :cool: -...

FWIW the Roland glossy adhesive photo paper is pretty nice and works well for short term stuff. Be aware that it's a pretty aggressive adhesive that will tear the paper apart if you mis-apply and try to pull it back up. Once it's stuck it's done. It's also a little bit of a PITA to remove from...

Have you checked with FireSprint? They're a merchant member here, are good folks, and may have something that will work for you.
