Whats the alternative?
Cosnet, to be clear, I thought that Roland printing on the “same substrate” was only possible with the UV units, where as the VS is an ecosolvent based machine and the CGS XG inks are also ecosolvent and as such - any media requires solvent coated media for *direct* printing. Is this understanding incorrect? Or were you referring to the CGS ORIS transfer film, which is ecosolvent coated and allows one to laminate the film to the “same substrate” (similar to the Kodak Approval which is laminated to production stock).

Hi Stephen,
CGS has developed a number of medias and one of those is a receptor film that laminates to customers stock. It is of such high quality and low thickness that it is similar to how Kodak Approvals and Fuji Final proofs work. The same laminate donor can be made to produce both gloss, semi-matte, and matte finishes. The ink is made by CGS and authorized by Roland but only works with our software. BTW, we add Orange and Green to make this printer have a large gamut that is in the same family of other competitive printers with Orange and Green such as Epson.
