HELP! printing on textured painted part
Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:13 pm
so i have these metal parts that have a pritty rough texture paint on them. i have printed on textured parts before, but none this rough. i am having issues getting ink in the valleys while still holding definition.
I am using Enthone 50 series solvent inks, 70 durometer squeegee and i have tried 305 and 230 mesh screens. i have also tried both pushing and pulling strokes and thinning out the ink with both 1/16 inch and 1/8 off contact. and even a new squeegee blade, but every time i ether have tons of voids or i have bleeding and jagged lines. Any tips would be great, thanks
