kydj68 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Kearn, the mat vinyl you got from Signwarehouse. Do you think i could buy maybe a couple feet from you to make sure it will work with my R280 printer? If so e-mail me at kydj68@yahoo.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Primal Rage Outdoors 0 Posted January 23, 2009 I use the MacTac IMAGin JT1858R and it prints wonderfully in my epson R220/ Epson 2000p printers, and you can use a spray overlaminate or gloss overlaminate as well, my customers love the decals and such I have made so far. Its much cheaper than a solvent printer for the time being, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted February 6, 2009 I tried to contact MACTAC Europe by email but to no avail. In Netherlands no dealer to be found sofar. I think you just have to place an order of 1000 rolls to get their attention. Primal Rage I have send you an PM. Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cohesion 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Anyone with a HP photosmart 8450 try to print on printable vinyl? I tried on some matte LG I got from Harbor.. Just smears off, even after sitting over night. But like I read on other posts, maybe the problem is just that the vinyl was still curled from being on the roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Rage Outdoors 0 Posted February 6, 2009 i run Epson Printers, and I print on the Mactac, OCA, IJ Technologies black diamond products, no problems with dye or pigment inks, I can either laminate the matte products or spray laminate them, and IJ tech makes a gloss product that I will be working with this week.

Rob28x 0 Posted February 13, 2009 All the people trying this, I am surprised there's not more pictures of the results. My printer is on the way, I will be sure to post my results. Also, found this eBay store with a good selection of media already to size. Someone else on this forum actually posted the link for us. They have both white and clear, as well as static cling, etc. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/MAMMY-MAGNETS-and-MORE_Craft-and-Printing-Supplies_W0QQ_fsubZ18QQ_sidZ9062726QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What inks are you using? I am planning on purchasing a 1400 soon and it will come with the Claria inks. I am looking at different CIS systems as well, any thoughts on those?

cutme 5 Posted February 13, 2009 i tried a cis on my epson 2200. i would waist a lot of paper and ink getting it setup and working, only to have it drop a huge blob of ink on on my special media. i ended up accidentally siphoning most of the ink into the bottom of the printer so i removed it. the original ink works just fine. i decided it wasn't worth the hassle. bb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Primal Rage Outdoors 0 Posted April 21, 2009 I just got a Ciss for my Epson 2200, but I think I am just going to use the auto resetting cartridges and take the rest of the stuff off, don't want any additional mess at this time, since it works great with Epson and aftermarket cartridges.

codogs 0 Posted June 3, 2009 This has been a very informative thread. I just ordered an Epson 1400 and plan to try this out. I also slipped in a 22" LCD since TigerDirect had them for $139. Wonder if the wife will notice that little add-on? I also just ordered a 20' sample of the Photo Tex adhesive inkjet media. I had to pay a total of $20 w/ shipping to get a sample this big, but from the sound of things it'll be well worth the $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted June 4, 2009 Here's a printing of a picture of the space shuttle, I did for the wife a couple of weeks ago. About 20 x 30, on PhotoTex, with a 24 inch Epson. Stuck on the wall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codogs 0 Posted June 4, 2009 knucklehead, what's the model of your 24" Epson printer? JackiJ, go to page 6 in this thread. CRD pretty much outlined the materials that can be used with web links to the materials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swaneejuggalo 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Anyone else have problems ordering phototex samples i get this error on the Aqueous/Pigment x10' The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount. Is there any resellers of this stuff?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted June 5, 2009 codogs: Epson Stylus Pro 7000 I get my phototex from Lexjet http://www.lexjet.com/lexjet/ I don't know if they do the samples or not, I get a 100 foot roll at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knucklehead 530 Posted June 12, 2009 I got my doubts about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted June 12, 2009 What are your doubts? I am in contact with Egbert Wang from the manufacturer of asian-ink I let you all know if it is what we all need. Glossy 90 um coated (so waterbased dye and pigment inks will work) at 24 inch at 30 m. The 70 um cool lamination only comes in 36 inches. But if request are there they can deliver that too. So for the A4 machines you have to make then from the roll in the size you want. I need also A3 sizes. Be patient (if you can) Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
