Signs: Print Direct to Magnet on Roland

[@signfabricators6502]

That's a good idea, it will save me steps! I will try with your suggestions! Cheers from TO

Very helpful.. thanks Eduardo!

Nice tip that cardboard. Thank you so much!

[@bartoszrucinski7027]

That was helpful, thanks, the cardboard worked great. I ran it with the heater low, but that was a problem as the magnet sheet warped after preheating and nearly messed up my printer. :( But I made it work with PRINT heat off and DRY heat on a lower setting. Also, If I run it slower, it may cover better. BTW I used a Avery Dimension MPI 3300Series Economy Gloss Profile, that seemed nice, as it covers Glossy vinyl well too.

Hello I am just starting out and so I have been using my inkjet printer on to vinyl and then i laminate and then i stick to 30 mil magnet. I have a cricut so I then run it through my cricut to get custom made magnets. Slow process, expensive process and time consuming. Is there a commercial grade print cut machine that would allow me to print direct onto magnet then laminate and then cut for me? I have not seen the roland do it...so am not sure if this is possible or wise. The machines are expensive so i don't wanna screw it up if i buy one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using a versacamm? I read in the product literature where its not for use with the versacamm as it wont fit under the print head?

[@lalo19851]

sskeetr1 yes, it's a Versacamm. make sure your head setting is set to high. Also, the thickest we have printed is 30mil magnet, and that's run OK.

[@Keith.B]

Eduardo Felix cool. Thanks for the quick reply. I will do it as you recommend and show in the video. Thank you

I wonder, could I contour cut magnetic material? I had considered attempting like 145g pressure, 2-3 passes to see what happens?

[@lalo19851]

I've never tried it, but just from manually cutting magnetic blanks, I know it's a heavy material to cut through, and frankly, I wouldn't risk it.

[@BillyRay724]

What do you use to cut the magnet, just a straight edge and a blade?

[@assadnujjoo]

Have you tried on id cards boards? I think it's the 1mm pvc board.

[@shaofist]

Is this material suitable for bathroom wall ?

[@majidaelhafidi628]

Eduardo :) Do you have any suggestions for other printers on magnetic rolls where i dont have to use the cardboard ? Thanks

[@tragic1308]

I’m getting tiny lines - any advice ?

How is the roland ecosol ink on vinyl in outdoor weather without lamination?

[@puls44]

if no mechanical damages occur they can last a year or two depending on the UV exposure, also thru carwash (pressure wash) no problem, mine last a long time w/o lamination, but for serious projects I recommend using it since it helps the vinyl to be more sturdy while applying plus gives it the extra long life +7 yrs

[@jasonthomas2356]

We are printing onto 15mil magnetic as well with our Roland. What heat settings are you using?

[@lalo19851]

Jason Thomas we're printing on 30-mil, and are using the default printer settings

[@josephKEOarthur]

what brand of magnetic media?

[@lalo19851]

Magnum

Hi, how are you? I have a lot of doubts, I am starting in the middle of the publisher and I would like to ask you if you can help me with some meters of advertising material such as canvases, paper for business cards, vinyl, and paper brochures, I live in Vallejo ca. Thank you

[@predragmilovanovic2946]

where I can find magnetic rolls?

[@LTSSRV]

Grimco.com is where I get mine

[@pab6069]

Hey boss love the video, but I would like to start a small business here I cypress Texas, is there a small printer I could buy and is the name and where can I buy one?

[@lalo19851]

I believe Roland offers a smaller version. Other brands include mutoh or hp. We purchased ours from a distributor called Tubelite. Not sure if they are in Texas but try googling it.

[@predragmilovanovic2946]

great!!
