Hi! Just purchased an Roland Versa Art re-640

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Just purchased a Roland Versa Art RE-640.  Is there any vinyl out there that won't put off a glare when printed on.  We're doing photography backdrops and the vinyl can't have any glare otherwise it will show up in the photos.

 

Thanks!

 

Jamie

That's what we purchased, but apparently not the correct one.  Was wondering if anyone out there knew of a specific brand, gage and so forth.  Thank you for the response though.  ^-^

Solvent ink? Really need sublimation for what your after. You could try some canvas but will still have a small sheen to it without using a sublimation printer or dye inks. Solvent is really the wrong ink set for what you are after.

Researched what type of printer and ink similar companies were using.  I'm trying to figure out how to "toggle" down the ink and if using a different profile that puts down less ink will affect the shine also.

Yes , I agree that solvent will not offer the same low reflection quality. thier are ways to produce a Giclee type of finish without an application specific tool(machine), but its expensive.

dye sub offers what you seek.
