  • Print on Leather

    Posted by Wilf Halliwell on 14 August 2012 at 16:37

    We have a Roland Versacamm SP540i and are looking to find out if the machine we print on leather. The leather will go on sofas and chairs. We only use Roland Eco Sol Inks. Is this possible? Do we need special ink? Any advice is welcome.
    Many thanks Wilf

    modern – i.e. non connolised leather.
    i.e. the stuff they call leather nowadays is ‘pu’ leather
    – the hides are schythed real thin, the thickness is returned in polyuerethane – the leather grain is then embossed into that.

    so realistically, the mordant required is one which works with any flexible plarstique.
