What’s the thickness material you fit into SP300i?
Hi all,
I’m looking into purchasing a print and cut.
One application would need us to print onto a laserable material say 1.3mm thick.
Could this material be printed onto?
We would like to laser cut after printing??
We are new to the sign side of things so any advise would be greatly appreciated.

mimaki some time ago had the option to print directly to a thin media. not sure thickness though. from memory, 2mm, but was aided by roller tables.
the elements printer is a water based printer and i beleive can print direct to rigid media upto 1.5mm thick and only costs around £7kboth the above are based on machines i looked at a couple of years ago… so keep that in mind.
other than that, your heading towards rigid media flatbed printers, but costs go way up!

welcome
not all rolands have the ability to adjust the head height even then I think it is 1mm max.
I can’t think of a material that thick that will accept the ink what had you in mind.
as robert said a flat material path may be required. head crashes can be very expencive. -
Thanks guys. Ive got some demos lined up so will see if the transfer onto various substrates is the way to go.
