The Canon Colorado 1650 UVgel can deliver either a gloss or matte finish based on the type of cure. HP Latex inks take on the appearance of...

  18. HP 560 Latex vinyl waste

    Re the waste: use of a reusable leader would bring that lead-edge waste to near 0, s you can consistently and reliably print to within inches of the print media's front edge, while the leader provides the forward tension that minimizes the potential for crashes.
  19. Suggestions Time to update, Latex or Solvent?

    All inks offered for sale are required to make available an MDS (used to be called MSDS) document which discloses the ingredients and percentage volume (within ranges) of the ink. These documents are supposed to follow a standardized format, and also should disclose hazardous components and...
  20. how do I print opaque black background for backlit signs

    Good suggestions in this thread. The issue is getting enough ink onto the media to remain opaque when backlit. That has everything to do with the amount of ink being deposited (ink density) in the print mode being used. Standard print modes for frontlit opaque medias are typically in the 100...
