    Posted by Paul Moor on January 31, 2016 at 9:32 pm

    Hi all, I’m looking for any recommendations on quick drying photo paper for use with Roland Eco solvent inks. Ideally the ink needs to be dry before rolling onto the take up unit. I’ve tried a few rolls and they never dry before they start to get taken onto the roll. Heavier 200-240gsm) the better.

    Many thanks.

    We struggle getting posters to dry quick enough on our Roland without standing a fan in front of the printer. We’re currently using DTEC paper from Europoint but this was the last batch they had and apparently they’re not selling it any more.

    Satin drys quite a bit quicker than gloss we’ve found. If you find any, particularly if it drys quickly and is a reasonable price, let me know.

    Try papergraphics, however we always struggled getting posters to dry on our Roland.
