Is there Vinyl out there that doesn't put off a shine when printed on using a Roland Versaart re-640

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

We're starting a photography back drop business and are using a Roland Versaart re-640 using echo solvent ink, printing on 13 gage vinyl material.  The problem we're running into, is that on our darker colored back drops there is a substantial  shine and glare.  We don't want there to be any glare on the back drops, because the glare shows up in the photos, and combined with the camera flash will blow out the photo.  Any help would be appreciated.  New to using the machine and pretty green.

I am thinking even if you use a matte vinyl the ink might still be shiny in the blacks and darks - maybe look into a matte laminate

I'll do some research.  We've ordered some from other companies and it appears to be almost a flat vinyl.  We probably need to dial down our ink settings also.

like mopar said in the other thread sublimation would be the way to go . . .
