Inkjet Transfers Printing on Metal

[adarshsly]

will it work with hp c4340?

[alexadesigner]

I'm wondering what printers everyone has had success with?

[mgarin73]

Great demonstration! Thats a very unique way of displaying your artwork. I work with an HP z6100, I'm not sure it could work with the aluminum printing.

I use Epson 2200. Should I give it a try? It won't wreck it, will it?

Wondering about archival longevity on this technique. Is there any data that shows how stable this process is as a common framed piece in gallery or home environment? Would hate to show prints like this and sell without solid data on its archival quality.

What desktop printers have a straight paper path and adjustable print-head height so they can feed sheet metal?

@emmasweeny

Try the Epson 3880. It is great.

[emmasweeny]

@BonnyL5658 It doesn't appear to have a straight paper path, or adjustable height print heads. But it does cost about the same as a used car.

[emmasweeny]

@emmasweeny checked the specs a little further, it says it can handle 1.5mm cardboard, which would equate to 16 gauge sheet metal. Not bad.

so will sanding the finish permanently dull the metallic appearance? can the gloss be brought back?

Fabulous! Thanks so much!
