Sign Builder Illustrated columnist Jim Hingst writes: “Harry Truman said that if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. That’s good advice if you are a politician. On the other hand, if you are a printer and the media can’t stand the heat, just turn the down the heat. When printing on heat sensitive materials with an earlier generation of latex printer, that may be the only viable solution.”
“Printing on the RTape VinylEfx films with some latex printers can be problematic. The high heat required to cure these inks can distort the microembossed patterns on the second surface of the film. The results can be pretty funky. And in most cases, the customer will not be happy.”
