Hello, people!
Being only few months in this business actively, I got to know both, good and bad stuff of the industry. One thing is constantly great, though: It's this Roland of mine, - reliable, hardworking workhorse. (knock on woods so i don't jinx it!!! :{D)
Anyway, we used Orafol media for printing, and still planning to, for the majority of work, but closest suplier of it is in a different country from us, so, sometimes It makes problems for us, and still I have to plan getting suplies on a monthly level, and if I ran out of something, I can't order smaller quantities, because of traveling and importing expenses that add greatly to the cost of media in that case ...
So, I learned as of Monday, finally, we're gonna get a MacTac importer here, in this country. I am perfectly happy with Orafol media, but for the sake of quicker response to our needs, we will get mac tac also.
Only, I would like to hear Your suggestions about what Mactac media I should use with my Roland on Ecosol Max inks?
To further explain why I ask this is - We purchased some citylight paper earlier - manufactured by Euromedia, that just couldnt print on my machine. The colors wouldnt dry, no matter the settings I used. And our suplier swore they printed it on Mutohs (!?!?). On thrd party inks maybe!!! I think I even have a thread started here for that matter. I just wouldnt like to repeat that mistake.
I couldnt find compatibility sheets on Mactac site, and also, our supplier couldnt answer to our questin about it. So, I need those sugestions for:
Vinyl (universal - glass and curved surfaces)
Citylight paper (backlight - for advertising light boxes)
Photo paper (for posters etc)
Funny, though, I couldnt find any PAPER under solvent digital printing at MACtac site. But I guess some of the papers from roll category could do??
Needles to say - I just hated MACtac site. So hard to find my way around! :{D
Thanx for Your time and any attempt to help me ...
