Plastic Business Cards

Hi,

Could you please suggest some manufacturers of machines that are able to print onto 500 micron plastic?

I'm still waiting for some feedback from HP & MGI but I think the payback on their machines may be a little too long for me to justify the spend.

My average run is around 1000 units & I may need to print between 5,000 - 10,000 per day.

Looked at desktop models but they're normally not up to the job & the consumable costs are ridiculous!

I need a mid-range machine. Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm not sure how much is 500 microns plastic ... how does it compare to 14mil polyester paper?

Have a Look at KBAs Genius 52UV.
Its designed to print on Plastics up to 800 mic.

Take a look here:



Its a 52x36 cm machine with a minimum of waste sheets, designed to print on plastics up to 0.8 mm.
