Hi everyone,
We send our rolls of film to be printed on but we always have issues with the amount of powder on the films, and the printing companies not wanting to print on it. The powder clogs up the printing plates and powder goes everywhere, and it's just a huge problem for them. Today, the printers sent our film back to us and said they won't print on it until the powders been removed. This is basically impossible for us but we urgently need the film printed so we have set a roll of film up on one of our machines and we have cloths and air hoses attached, trying to wipe the powder off, and blow the powder off. I've spoken with our supplier numerous times, but their powder spraying capsule doesn't have many settings so it can't control the excess powder. Does anyone have any ideas on what we could do to remove the powder? I had some thoughts about static electricity, but I'm not sure where to go with that idea. Any ideas of something we could attach to the machine that would really attract the powder to it?
Any help would be super appreciated. Thank you.
