Roland BN-20 Printing on Garment Vinyl = BIG Mess!
The image printed fine on a standard gloss vinyl and I thought it would print fine on garment vinyl – Magictouch MT107. Xpres had already setup a profile for the garment vinyl, from memory the only change was the cut pressure.
So, I load the Magictouch MT107 and print as I normally would. This was the result = a mess!
Anyone got a solution or any suggestions?
Cheers
John

on the spandex and magic touch stuff we just use vinyl3 mt in this case.
is it a heat applied film looks and feels like vinyl or a flock. -
Hi Chris
Magictouch MT107 is a garment flex to be heatpressed onto garments.
When I purchased the BN-20 from Xpres it was supplied as part of the package so should be compatible. The guy from Xpres created a medi profile for it and that’s what I used with horrible results. It looks like far to much ink flooding/pooling on the media.
I printed the CMYK not metallic.

if its a smooth semi gloss media bet the vinyl3 will be fine. give it a quick go

I had a smiliar issue with a different media.
I was advised to increase the heater temperature. Print at high quality in omni directional, full width scan – i’ve a 64" printer though.
Should give the ink more time to dry before putting the next pass down and prevent pooling.

We find that mosts medias print ok using the Metamark MD5 profile, always a good one to fall back on.

I also find that printing on the right side helps……… Got just that same result by putting the material in the wrong way and printing 5 meters before going back in the print room and finding out.
