Looking for a few 'test' coasters to be printed

[Justin]

As I've recently been testing different printers/profiles etc. I'm putting together a pile of coasters with identical images for further comparison.

I would very much like a couple printing from printers I don't have to see how these compare. I don't use the Ricoh range so it would be good to get some from the 3300 and also the 7000. Also, the B1100 and also the B42WD. If anyone is using the 4800 or larger format printers it would be good to see these as well.

It'll just be 2 coasters with different images but they must be on 90mm Circular Unisub coasters. I will gladly provide these (when I get around to ordering more in!) and also cover postage costs if needs be.

If you're confident that your system is printing to the best of its ability I'd appreciate your help.

edit: Just looking for the prints on Xpres paper so that I can print the coasters myself now :-)

hmmm. i am not sure if my priner is printing his best but i may print some graphic on paper and then send you so you can press all coasters youself. this way save on postage and you know best what time and preasure you use for your coasters ;)

I can provide prints from B1100. just let me know what paper you want me t use.

[Justin]

Actually that makes far more sense, I need everything else to be identical, press times/temp etc. so just need the prints then I guess :-)

It's a very interesting experiment, I'm aware of the limitations on colour matching/detail etc. with sublimation but tests so far have thrown up a few surprises.

Would need the prints on Xpres paper for continuity....did you get those I sent you Paul?

[Paul]

yep :) xpress paper is fab mate! I printed this test "dsf mug" with it. it stick a little to the coating but is nice stick if you know what I mean :) is like transfer pper sticked with that kind of spray you can buy to hold transfers :)

any way.... just send me a image and template of the coaster you want me to print and I will send you some.

i have a B1100 justin if you want some from that
i only have trupix paper though

Got a Ricoh 7000, but not the right kind of paper, if you want to send me a couple of sheets of paper, I'll gladly print some things for you

The B42WD isn't supported yet so there won't be any takers for that one.

Think I'm covered with the B1100 by Paul, thank you anyway :-)

PM me your address and I'll send a couple of sheets off, appreciate that. What software do you use?

[Kaz]

I've got a few to chose from, what's your preference? lol

[Kaz]

Hi Justin

I've not received any papers from you, are you still wanting to do this experiment?

Kaz

[Justin]

Hi Kaz, yes, still looking to sort this out but up to my neck in an order right now so will have to put off for a little while. I'll get them off to you as soon as I can :-)

[Kaz]

[Paul]
