Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Gots a question, if anyone can enlighten me, would be greatly appreciated.
We're trying to utilize our ecosolvent printer for not only signs, stickers, and banners, but also printing and plotting heat transfers. I've done a test with a product called EcoSolPRINT. It looks and applies very nice, although we seem to lose a little of the colors intesity, vibrance, after the press. I spoke with a rep about the product but they couldn't give me any specs, which was a little odd. Anyways, it's quite elastic is about all I can tell you, lol.
My question, the rep said if I needed more gloss to run it again? How would that create more gloss? Also, is it normal to lose some of the vibrance in the color after pressing? I should have asked him this as well, but didn't think of it until later.
Could be I guess. Sorry, I'm still pretty new to the whole industry. That's really why I called the rep from where I purchased it, to find out what exactly it is, and he couldn't tell me, or wouldn't tell me. There's not even much info on the web about this media. All I can tell you is that it's quite elastic. It looks great after the print, it just fades a bit after the press.
An ecosolvent printer is a versacamm or the like. Its tough to tell you any specifics unless you know the name of the media. Who was the supplier? Are there any markings on the roll? I know some materials just have a matte finish and some have a glossy look. You might consider a product used for inkjet printed paper called "glossy overlay sheets".
More Gloss?
