Hello all,
Our next purchase is a flatbed, and we like the look of the HP Latex. Regional location so the user replacable parts is very handy.
We do a lot of thinner polypropylene on 0.6mm and 0.8mm, and double sided.
But the thinner polyprop can't handle the curing heat of the latex, and the material deforms and curls and creates headstrikes.
We like the latex as the ink adhesion is great, its smooth and basically becomes part of the substrate, and cuts great.
I know UV is improving, but I don't like the way ink sits ontop, and chips with cutting.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks with latex and thin polypropylene?
Or can they suggest another machine or technology that handles this better.
Thanks,
