Hello! Wanting to confirm that other printer you mentioned you got in the description works just as good as the one on the right in the video. That $250 price tag is perfect.

Yes, it's been working great. Every bit as good as the Artison 1430. Make sure you get a good all-black ink system and RIP software. Just to be sure, this is the one I have ( Canon Pixma IP8720 amzn.to/3PgN60j ) and I have PrintFAB RIP

Thank you for teaching chossing a right film compatiable for laser vs inkjet printer. Also explanation on toner enhancement if a film prints on laser printer.

It's also important to make sure your printer is even compatible with aftermarket empty cartridges. The manufacturers these days are making it really difficult to put in third party ink. First they put chips in the cartridges, so you've got to buy a chip re-setter, then they make the chips non-re-settable, so somebody comes out with replacement chips. It's like an arms race. They've got to make that money somehow🤣 I think, in the future, it's going to get very difficult to load off-the-shelf printers with all-black systems, or sublimation dyes.

​@@startupscreenprintingthey have many years ago and they were laser printers with a very expensive print head, oyo, xante just to make a few. The printer that started the downfall of the laser printers was the Epson 3000 inkjet printer which printed a 17 x 22 inch film then it's baby brother the Epson 1520 which printed 13x19 I had both back in the day still have two old 3000's very good printers. I now use the 1430 because of RIP software compatibility and upgrades from win XP to 10

hi there! you could certainly use that printer to print films but i'm not sure if there's an all-black ink kit for it. You can look at the kit I use here: solutionsforscreenprinters.com/product/all-black-ink/ maybe contact them and ask about your specific printer model. If no kit exists for it, you can still just print a "full black" by selecting 100% on all 4 colors (CMYK) instead of just printing the black ink. This will help get you a darker image on the transparency but it's still not as good as the UV-blocking all-black ink kits. You will also need rip software like Accu-RIP, PrintFab, or Image R.E.D.. You don't HAVE to have the rip software if you do the output yourself within illustrator or whatever program you use (watch my separations video) but the rip is usually required to print with the all-black ink kits. For film, I use the Baselayr film from Ryonet: ssp.ink/ryonet and search film.

Great info! I used the 1430/AccuRip before, but I shut my operation down a few years ago. I'm getting back into it and I am curious as to what ink kit (ink cartridges) you used for the Canon printer. Also, how well does PrintFab work with halftones for simulated process or 4 color process? TIA

Could some one try an Experiment to Thicken the line Width of some basic art and Under expose like he Suggests; to see if a thicker Line compensates for the light bleed under cutting on the edges of Positive. Just curious to see what could work. But Now I think I may Buy into a Laser Engraver to expose screens.

Thank you very much. I've been utilizing the Epson 1430 for a few years without any rip software. I was concerned that other rip software might not be compatible with that ink system. I wasn't particularly keen on the AccuRIP 1-Year License for $199.@@startupscreenprinting

I used to make rubberstamps with the photomasking on uv resin method before moving to laser. The negative we use is created by printing out a normal image of the stamps from a laser printer, the printer would have to be an HP monochrome model for best results. Then we would sandwich it to a piece of black thermal wax film and passing them under a really hot pouch laminator. The result is a crystal clear negative with almost 100% opaque background. I believe this wax film works in the same way as one of those reflective foils you use to highlight business/greeting cards by passing under hot laminator.

Hi Jesse, Thank you for what you're doing here. It's been a year since this was posted. Do you still recommend the Epson 1430 printer?

Actually I’ve swapped to this printer: amzn.to/3WV0cEG The 1430 kept clogging with the BlackMax ink and I finally wasn’t able to fix it. This new printer is way more affordable and readily available so if it breaks I can replace it faster. For ink, I have surprisingly gotten better results lately with a different ink kit from Film Direct: filmdirectonline.com/copy-of-canon-ix6800-ix6820-completely-black-ink-kit-pgi-250-cli-251-chipset-1/ It doesn’t seem to dry/clog the heads like the Blackmax did and it creates a really dark print. I’ve been able to increase exposure times with this ink and I love it so far.

Can anyone suggest a printer currently in production that I can use?

I’m not sure on thickness I just get the premium film from Ryonet. Thickness shouldn’t have a negative effect though. And there’s only one side that’s printable so make sure you’re printing the correct side of the film. The printable side is sticky if you wet your finger it will stick to that side then you make sure that side is pointing up when you put it in the printer.

Great question, Matthew. So RIP software will allow inkjet printers to do halftones and color separations for you. All of it can be done manually and I did for the first 3-4 years until I got the Epson 1430. It's just a time saver, really, except for it's ability to tell the printer to use every cartridge as black ink. I'll try to do a video on it soon so I can share more details. All that to say it's not something you should feel required to get when you're getting started. You can get it a few years in and be totally fine. Most laser printers actually have the ability to do RIP built in.

@RichardThompsonCA

Жыл бұрын

True rip software, compatible with your printer, can (in addition to creating halftones) manipulate how much ink the print head spits out, increasing ink density if you want. I've seen some software lately that claims to be rip, but is compatible with every model of printer. If it claims to do that, it's probably not rip. True rip is essentially a 3rd party driver for your printer, so the manufacturer had to buy every printer on their compatibility list, reverse engineer the driver to figure out how to control the print heads directly, that's why a "universal" rip can't really be rip. It may create halftones (but a lot of software can already do that), but cannot manipulate the print heads on every existing model of inkjet printer, there's just too many of them. So, buyer beware. In my opinion the increase in ink density is more important than halftone creation.

@startupscreenprinting

Yeah and there are ways to get it to print all colors so it’s a deeper black, but it’s just hard to get full opacity without a black dye cartridge. You can try to print two of the same and tape them over each other. Sometimes that helps if it’s not too detailed of a design. Or I’ve taken a marker and colored over it to make it darker before.

You can, but without a rip you wouldn't be able to convert opacity settings to halftones, you'd have to create the halftones first, then print. You also wouldn't be able to take advantage of any all-black ink cartridges if you have those as they typically require a rip in order to tell the printer to print correctly with all black.
