Will a DJ800 print on thin chipboard boxes? They are 0.22 caliper but come preglued:ULINE - Shipping Boxes, Shipping Supplies, Packaging Materials, Packing Supplies

Re: DJ800 print on thin chipboard boxes
I'm going to make an educated guess that would be about 540gsm for a single layer. I've certainly never tried any media that heavy, and doubt very much that it will pass. If these boxes are pre-glued, that means there are at least two layers of 0.022 caliper, or 0.044. There may be rough edges where the glue seams occur (and an additional layer, so in some places three layers).
Now how about porosity? Will it bleed? My prediction is, if you purchase this media you'll end up printing self-adhesive labels to stick on the boxes (because the boxes will jam, twist, skew, rip, bleed, etc). =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: DJ800 print on thin chipboard boxes
My theory is that if you can get the printer to load it, you can print on it. But beyond normal roll-fed media, I have no idea if it will actually work.

Re: DJ800 print on thin chipboard boxes
Also note that the dj800 has dye based colors so the prints will fade fairly quickly. (Just to consider if you intend to print product boxes that will be on shelves or exposed to ligt for some time)Comment
