Hey everyone. I am just about to join the NeoFamily and I wanted to see what people are printing with the solvent printer from Neoflex. I am planning in buying both the textile and solvent and have seen some great textile prints, but not too many solvent prints. I was just curious if people are using the solvent printer and what the market is like for items that can be printed with it. Cheers.

Hello skatch,
I am so happy that we will add one more NeoFamily.
This forum is more toward garment printing. People are more focus on T Shirts here than other stuffs. Solvent could do Leather, canvas, plastic, business cards, magnetic sheet, small signs, golf ball, electronic parts, lots of AC Moore stuffs, switch cover, small furniture (kidsCraft), guitar picks, guitar belt, catalog(ASI book) print, hocky puck, Point of purchase, sale sign in market, menu, bare wood, ceramics, CD disk, Company, hospital ID card, bar codes ---etc without pretreatment (most). Just put anything down under NeoSolvent and find out yourself.
If you find the market you can make bigger profits than shirts.
Cheers! Beers are on me always. Your success is our success!

Hi, I'm currently starting to test out my solvent printer. Not having white solvent ink makes it difficult to print on a lot of mediums. Leather, hockey pucks, etc. are all black. Is there a certain type of white coating or paint that can be put down before the solvent inks so we can print on darker substrates?

You are able to print almost any flat surface, like this frisbee, the only con is that we don't have white ink, but we survive

How do you print on things that are black like hockey pucks and leather? Also, is there anyway to put an underbase down then print on top of that (something like a plastic based paint or primer)?

By the moment you can´t
I put some white base on a piece of wood and print with out problem, but its not the idea, the look is different
Hope we have white ink in the near future

Hi Juan,
Are you using any type of pretreat or post-treat coating when printing on phone cases and golf balls. I haven't really found anyone that's using Neosol for these products and not getting much help with the process. Do you use a specific type of phone case that you've found works best?
Definitely appreciate any info you could offer.
Thanks!

What have you been using for platens? Did you make your own? We were thinking injection molding?

I use phone cases from AA, I tried some from ebay but didn't work.
I have an spray from AA that i use in some vinyl, no marks no instruction; sorry some chinese caracters
I need to try a material because they look similar but some do not hold the ink.
I did my own jig
For CDs I used a vinyl sheet 1/8 or acrilic, cut 17 x 42 and align to front and one side of the table then print a series of disc center and then put a flat washer glued to the sheet.
For print only one piece, just print over a piece of paper then align the phone case with the print set the height and print.
Usually print between 50% to 85%
