  • What canvas material for the mimaki?

    Posted by Denise Goodfellow on December 5, 2013 at 4:42 pm

    Hi everyone

    We have never had good results when printing canvases on the mimaki ( could be down to profiles) We have tried 3 suppliers all the same results, tried several profiles that come with the machine too with no luck.

    On the epson we have no problem, but limited to certain sizes.

    Does anyone else get good rresults on the mimaki? Could you tell me what supplier you use and what profile?

    Thank you

    Not used there canvas products, so cant comment on results, But I’m aware Allprint have a few canvas products and can supply profiles.

    Hi Denise,

    I do a lot of canvasses on the JV33 with excellent results every time, used to have trouble with profile but now just use 1 generic profile for everything and it works well for me on vinyl, banners, canvas, static cling etc. What RIP are you using?

    i buy canvas from get canvas plus, they have a cracking service and quality stretcher bars too,
