Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone tried to print directly on sheet metal? Copper, SS, AL ??
I am interested in trying this but don't want to ruin my 2200.

Yes. I saw some at the expo this weekend. Talk to Jim Doyle.

Somewhere there are a few other posts at the IJA forums about printing
on metal coated with InkAid, but I couldn't locate them quickly. Might
be something that you want to look into.

I've printed on sheet metal on a 2400; I'm not sure the 2200 has the same
material handling options. I used Inkaid clear to coat steel.

We get our inkjet printable metals from Booksmart Studio. Their line of
printable metal come in a few different surface and it has an inkjet coating
applied to the metal. It is NOT metal with inkAid applied to it. The surface
of these metals is much smoother and durable than with inkAid applied
emulsions.  

 

Sizes range from your standard inkjet sizes 8.5"x11", A3, 13"x19"17"x22",
20"x24" to larger custom sizes such as 20"x40" and 20"x60". If you have a
printer with a straight pass-through then you can use the metals. They range
from .012 to .015 in thickness.

 

ICC profiles are available at Booksmart Studio and you must coat or laminate
after printing to ensure waterproof and durability.

 

Eric Is a Sister company of ours and he has worked hard to have this metal
line done to his spec�s.
