Having difficulty printing on veneer
« 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.

Which black ink are you using to print on the InkAid Clear Matte pre-coat?

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
