Title: Having difficulty printing on veneer
Post by: hud on June 01, 2011, 10:54:34 pm

I am using the 3880 ink jet and running some print tests on maple wood veneer and am getting way too much running.  Is there a way to coat the veneer is such a way that ink jet will work?

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

best, jack.

I have not tried it on wood, but I have had good results on other porous substrates with "inkAID clear matt solution.  Google it.

Good luck.

Is there any other product to coat the veneer?  I call all the reps for inkaid and all their numbers have been disconnected, really bad service!!!

I just called and got their answering service, just as I have in the past when I called with a question. A message is taken and someone calls back a day or two later.

To answer your other question however. . . .   Golden Digital Grounds and DAAS Universal Precoat (http://www.digitalartstudioseminars.com/DigitalArtStudioSeminars/Store_US.html).

I have used an Epson 4880 with their matte black cartridge.  For the most part, I have created custom profiles for each substrate.  Some take a little while to dry.

Go for it,
Dave
