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!

look for a matte material -

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.

Yes, it uses solvent ink.  Hmmmm…. that would be a bummer.  Might be a while before we can put out glare free darker back drops then.

How did you research the printer before making your decision ?

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.

Use a matte finish laminate.

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.
