Hi all,
Firstly thank you to all who advised and commented on my cry for help on printing on White Gloss Vinyl.
Greeting from little 'ol England.
I imported a ship load of Air Release printable white gloss vinyl for making custom printed Mobile Phone Skins.
The manufacturer advised me any desktop Inkjet printer would do the job.
Printing this media turned out to be an absolute nightmare. I now learn I need 100% Solvent Inks which are essential oil based. i.e. Hard Solvent Inks.
Hard solvent ink printers are essentially Wide Format printers. The entry level Epson printer SC-C 40600 costs aroung $17000. Totally unaffordable.
My only hope is to convert an Epson EcoTank inkjet printer to accept Hard Solvent Inks as in the video.
What advice can you give me on this subject?
Thanking you in anticipation.
