Neil,
It is apparent from all of your posts that you have been an active
user of the DJ printers and involved in the development as well. I
wonder if you have a qualitative fix on print life vs water resistance
out of the printer. As I understand it, if you are willing to accept a
print life of a few years ( less than 10, but more than 3?) you can use
micro-porous papers and the water resistance problem becomes a
non-issue. I currently am using a Kodak 8500 which is effectively an
over coated print and is extremely robust toward handling--it has other
problems, color range and size, but I knew these when I bought it.
I was wondering if a sketch exists showing a downward sloping line
left to right of Print life on the vertical axis and water resistance
on the horizontal axis with a few known quantities such as Kodacolor
prints, dye sub prints, Designjet swellable and micro-porus papers.
The axes could be Very long (or good), Long (or good), Fair, poor etc.
Then if some known quantities were on the sketch this would give people
a sense of how the designjet fits it. It seems to me that a reasonable
compromise for many would be a little better handling resistance than
the DJ satin(I have a sample from HP) at the expense of print life.
While I am at it is there an easy relatively simple process other than
clear spraying to change the designjet print life to handling
resistance curve?
I would be interested in your views.
