QTR-Quadtone RIP

I use InkAid, oddly enough the url is www.inkaid.com and it is available in matte and a clear gloss precoat (I use the later for fabric printing.
 
I also have an R1800 printer but I've only used it in rear feed mode.  The maximum media thickness is approx. 1.3mm but I tend to shoot a bit under that size.
 
My Canon iPF 6100 accepts a thickness of 1.5mm... 
 
When I print mostly its to the Canon and the Epson takes care of my needs for smaller sizes than 8X10.

A great source of information for this sort of things is a book titled Digital Photo Art by Theresa Airey.  Very informative with lots of good ideas.... Good Luck!

Hi Don,

I am sorry I have no answer to your question but instead more
questions for you.

I also have the R1800 with 3MK. I find your idea of printing on
aluminum or rag mat a great one.

Could you give me more details about aluminum panel? Thickness etc.

Also who do you coat the panels?

I am sure many on this list might like to know also.

Many thanks for your help,

Denis
