Flag printing
Hello All,
Does anyone print onto 90gsm flag material and get vibrant prints using solvent ink. IF so what do you do to get a vibrant image. Got a chance to get a lot of work printing flag material. They want the print to show both sides, OK then I’ll get the material where the ink goes all the way through. But the image is lacking that variance.
Can anyone help.
I was told that the profile for MD5 would work with it.

You will never get it done right with solvent. You need to dye sub it.
I’ve tried various flag media and none of them print a vibrant black. Not even if I pump all my CMYK values to 100%.
The side that doesn’t print also doesn’t have a great strike through.
We’ve stopped offering it to our clients as we and they wont be happy with the output.
If your doing other colours other then black it might be ok for promo type stuff.

sorry cant help!
