Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a printer capable of printing Tyvek. Is there a printer on the market that I am not aware of, which allows for sheet feeding and also supports the adjustment of the fuser temperature to a Tyvek-compatible level? I only need it for black and white printing.

Thanks in advance!

Inkjet w/permanent ink is best.
Forget the fuser based options.
YMMV
 
I'm dubious that you'd get inkjet ink from an entry level printer to stick to tyvek without the tyvek having an inkjet coating. If you're going to experiment, I'd try
Epson SuperTank printers which are under $500USD
Brother laser printer of some kind under $1000 USD. Use a a sticker or transparency setting if the fuser temp isn't directly adjustable, which it probably isn't.

You may be better off outsourcing to a printshop in terms of time savings and even cost savings.
 
i need to print 1000 sheets per week so id like to do it in my office, id be ok to spend more than 500 usd, just need a reliable option
 
The problem with printing on Tyvek is really the drying time. It will usually bead or smear before the ink dries. On large inkjets (MCS, Kirk-Rudy, etc.) you can buy ink cartridges that are alcohol based (instead of water based) that will dry quicker, but, we also needed to engage the heater/dryer units after ink-jetting.

Dye printer. Like some of the Epsons.
 
Hii
I am Kira khan, I recommend Epson Printer may be very suitable. You may be the best off outsourcing to a printshop in terms of time savings and even cost in your Budget savings.
