Printing on Magnetic Substrate - L360

HP Latex 360 Printer

#1 --- 8 years ago

Good morning, I am new to the forum. I joined because I could not find anyone else with experience in this matter. I am having difficulties printing on magnetic substrate. (Digimag Magnetic print material on roll) My issues are: • The heat deforms and softens the magnet material • The deformity allows it to get stuck and jam up in the heat curing area (Even using the soft carpeted platen, I have to manually pull on the magnet so it doesnt get stuck) • The ink density is already down to 60% and it does not cure So my dilema is, to cure the ink I have to raise the heat, which deforms the magnet too much and gets jammed up or way too soft. Has anyone had any luck printing on magnetic material with heat cure? Thanks in advance!! -Jay Garrett Printing Evansville, IN

Hi jay, i had this issue for quite sometime until i came across Digimags musclemag 0.15 thickness designed for the latex 360, it runs smoothly without buckling up or sticking to the platen and also does not get deformed or wrinkled from the heat. i run mine on a 16pass profile with minimum heat.
