This should really go under “The Gear” but there are no suitable sub-fora. (Thread moved by Asher 08/30/06)
I have an opportunity to purchase a Seal 500T dry mount press. I am just wondering whether there will be any problems using it with inkjet paper. Currently I am using Epson Premium Semigloss (soon to be discontinued, maybe?), Pictorico High Gloss White Film, Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl and Hahnemuehle Photo Rag. Maybe in time I will switch to something like the new Hahnemuehle Fine Art Pearl (though I have not seen it yet).
I found a few posts on the net that indicate that at a temperature of 180degF the 500T should be fine for paper-based media and may be OK for glossy and semigloss RC media (though these may require individual testing)..
Any opinions or experience of the suitability of such a press for this purpose?
Regards,
Murray
