Printing substrates

[WestbankKurt]

I am printing on a CJV30-160 and am wondering if anyone out there has heard of being able to feed a 18x24 coroplast yard sign through it for printing. I've been told thats how the guy before me printed the yard signs but I have not found anything in the manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

no, that's not how they did it.

Well I do understand that it could be done on a flat bed printer is that what you are suggesting?

Not how it's done with a solvent printer. Print on vinyl, apply that to the sign blank. To print direct to them you need a flatbed UV printer.

Yes I know the process you speak of and have done that in the past. We have a brand new HP, its huge and maybe takes a ten or eleven foot roll, and I was told it could handle a piece of coroplast. Do you know anything about that?
Thank you.

What is the model number of the HP?

Hold on, at the beginning of this thread it was a CJV30-160 (mimaki), now its a "huge HP".

Fishy?
