Roland versastudio BN-20

White on clear cling film seems fine, I use it quite a bit on car window stickers.

You have to be careful selecting CYMKW or WCYMK depending if you want the white on top or behind the other colours.

Those 19"x36" prints use £2 worth of ink and take 51/26 minutes each to print depending on print quality..... bloody stunning quality though. They work out costing me six quid in materials including the frame.

How are you making canvas so big with a BN-20, I have one but the max I can do is 16" wide as the frame needs to be wrapped around?

also Paul I use the Solvent dark plus and its amazing, I used easyprint at first but it is nowhere near as good, brilliant machine has opened so many doors, get yourself some MD3 too for decals! the ink costs are pennies and the cleaning cycle hardly uses any at all, the Versa works is easy to use and there are many youtube videos to support.

thanks guys for convincing me. I got plenty of new ideas now.
Whats MD3? is it clear or white vinyl?

[Vynmarius]

you can get it in both http://www.xpres.co.uk/c-361-sign-digit ... xpres.aspx its pretty good to start playing with as it is cheap and you can use it for alot of applications

@Vynmarius printed width is 480mm = 19" and the frame is quite thin so it ends up as 18" with the wrap around.

[ArferMo]

Anyone got a good recomend for rolls of adhesive backed paper for stickers.

[Vynmarius]

are your staples close to the edge on the back? I use 1.8mm stretchers bars and only feel confident with 16" Ive not looked into adhesive paper much but there are plenty of options using vinyl

[ArferMo]

No as the canvas is 20" 510mm the print wraps round the side of the frame and then the canvas that is round the back to be stapled is unprinted.

one more question before i pay, Do I need laminator too? as I dont have enough room for another machine.
I am planing to do some logos and signs for my car and I wonder if this need to be laminated or not?

[Vynmarius]

Unlaminated eco sol ink should last about 3 years outside so you should be ok
