Description
A large format printer with integrated plotter and cutter that uses SS21 eco-solvent inks. This thing does it all, from printing on a seemingly endless number of media to plotting (both cutter and pen).
All the way from bog-standard paper to fancy wallpaper, to car-wraps - there is very little this monster cannot print on.
Reminders
- If you change the pinch roller thickness to high, change it back.
- NEVER tape media to itself. Always use a piece of paper wrapped around the media and tape the paper to itself.
Features
So many
Printing
Media is up to 63.7" (1,620 mm) wide.
The CJV30-160 is capable of printing up to 1440x1440dpi depending on the media profile. Our house media profiles have these resolutions:
- Photo papers - 1440x1440
- Canvas - 540x720
- Vinyl is at 720x720.
Note, not every profile has every option available to change.
Cutting
The CJV30-160 is also capable of performing print and cut operations. Ideal for small runs of stickers or labels. These need to be set up in Illustrator (or another vector image editor of your choice) before being loaded into Rasterlink as a PDF.
If you are not using Illustrator you will need to create two spot colors in your image editor as follows:
Name: CutContour Cyan: 0% Yellow: 100% Magenta: 100% Black: 0%
Name: CutContour1 Cyan: 0% Yellow: 100% Magenta: 100% Black: 0%
If you are using illustrator you can download the swatches here. Cuts need to have a stroke width of 0.01 or they will not register properly in the software.
Plotting
pen and otherwise
Community ICC Profiles
Here you can find links to backups of the the ICC Profiles for a variety of media provided by the PS1 community. These should be already loaded into RasterLink6.
