In 20 years of doing print samples at wide-format inkjet factories and demo rooms around the world, all the media and substrates have been white. Here in the EFI VUTEk factory they also did print samples on solid black PVC and solid red material. When you go to a printer/signage trade show you can see all the other solid colors that are available options. The benefit of UV-curing in is that you can print on all these vinyl materials.
So I show the red and black samples here. Plus a print on transparent material (the D5r and D3r can have both clear and white ink available for your designs; the white is obviously essential for printing on transparent material).
The designs are from the MayanToons division of FLAAR Mesoamerica which is a division of FLAAR. FLAAR-REPORTS is also a division of FLAAR Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica is the word for the areas of the Americas influenced by the Olmec, Aztec, Maya, Teotihuacan, and Toltec civilizations for thousands of years. Our main office is in Guatemala, on the ancient trade routes of all these civilizations in past millennia.
MayanToons prepares educational material for local schools in rural areas up in the mountains and in the rain forests. All the print samples we will take to these schools and donate to them. We thank Hanan Yosefi and Tomer Ohavi for the invitation to visit the factory and demo room; we thank the printer operator Liron Cohen for doing the prints.
