Printing profile for metamark white self cling
Can anyone recommend a printing profile for the white self cling that metamark supply. I’ve just tried a print run using the MD5 profile but the ink hasn’t taken in places. My temperatures are set at print = 35 and dry =39.
First time I have used this material, just checked their website and there isn’t a profile listed for self cling?
Thanks

I’m sure metamark’s website has a link for if the profiles not listed. It’ll tell you what profile and settings to use.
MD5 is a good profile with their materials. An engineer suggested once to up the heaters and print on high quality, as its higher resolution, smaller ink droplets and dries quicker.

Thanks David, I think I have sorted it now. Printed in draft mode and paused the cutting seems to have worked. How did you get on with cutting master in illustrator?

Still couldn’t get the bloody thing to work.
I will just have to take the padding off the border I think, and space each set.
You’ll know tomorrow how I get on…. Might be some angry posts.

talk about extremes one says high quality one draft mode, just goes to show that the cling stuff is not a good print surface and try anything to get the job done. 😀

My engineer said high quality will dry quicker on most substrates.
Only downside is, that is uses more ink.
It does work on poster paper. I printed 6 A2’s the other day on high speed, they came off tacky. Do it on high quality and they’re touch dry.

I printed a 25 meter roll of this today for some screen flashes, printed great on a MD3 high speed profile using all roland colours, printed with crop marks and cut later in the day.
