Printing direct to Magnetic
Needed to make some mags so thought i would give it a go. Mag is from Bisbel just standard .9 mm, printed on Roland Soljet with Generic profile 720 x 1440 i reduced the head speed to be on the safe side, head height middle temp 40.c. Quality seems fine & scratch ability seems very good. I tried to scratch it whilst the test was still hanging in the printer.
I’m in no way suggesting anyone else do it but just thought i would share

I’m pretty sure there are some specific digital print magnetic materials available now. Anyone tried any?

there is but they are not vehicle grade, i actually spoke to bisbell about them before purchasing the .9. They have improved the vinyl quality which helps it print so wellKev

did not cut them then 😉
i would have thought you might have raised the head height to be safe.
out of interest can you measure them please as the last time i did this the print was fine but out of measurement in the feed direction, if i remember about 5mm in 500mm.
well done

the JV3 is promoted to cut mags… the model I have has the metal front so the magnetics just stick to it, it is now plastic.
nice work kev
but all that effort when you can slap vinyl over it -
nigel at graphityp showed me some digital magnetic they run throught their versacamm, print quality was excellent and it was fine detail on a map of the uk from memory. i thought you saw that too peter? when we were on the wrap course?
nice one kev, thanks for taking the time to load the pic and post mate…
