Roland Printer - Printing on black vinyl

[Focus1]

Hi,

I am having poor results when printing any colour onto black vinyl, I have tried various methods such as adjusting the contrast/brightness in Versaworks studio still not the correct results can somebody guide me in the right direction?

Thank You

Why on earth you want to print on black vinyl?

[ArferMo]

you need to print white first then the colours over the top, I presume you have white ink in your printer.

Or just get white vinyl and print black where you need it.

Not come across digital black vinyl but have printed black on white digital vinyl where it needed to have black background

think you could only print white / metalics onto black vinyl, - if you have that option.

Did a job on black carbon fibre effect vinyl once that was in colour and used the white>CYMK profile and came out fine.

Did another job on black one that required a really punchy white so made a new profile that put down 3 layers of white and worked really well.
