I use LFOT From grafitype slow 2 dry also but very heavy and good results, i found i got better results too if you slow the head speed and print in unidirectional

Hello John,

Many thanks for the reply.

I have got some 200gsm coated poster paper from Doro. It takes ink really well especially on ‘variable’ producing vibrant, saturated colours but it does take a while to dry – approx 4 hours.

I print uni with a 35oC print and 45oC dry using the Metamark MD5-100 profile – it works really well.

It’s great for posters, but I would like a paper slightly heavier, say around the 300gsm mark, but I guess you can’t have evrything at once 😉

All the best for the New Year.

Mark

we have some paper in stock, 2 types not sure where we got it though… must have been b&p when we bought the machine. both heavy but one has a sorta silk finish, gives great print results and the other was dry before it came out the machine. im sure the silk finish one was fast drying too…

on another note, although i havent tried but “paper co” owners of europoint display must sell it… well ide imagine so anyway? 🙄
one of the largest paper suppliers in the world 😀
