Hi All,
I just got my sample pack from Horizons Inc. ISG (Imaging Systems Group)... I wanted to see what the inkjet printable aluminum was like. I also got Alumamark and DuraBlack. Unfortunately, the samples are very small, only 2" x 3" ave. so there is not a lot to experiment with. Worse, the Alumajet sample comes already printed and laminated so there is no way to test it on my own printer (the whole point of asking for samples...)
The sample looks nice, although it is a bit blurry. I don't know if it is the printing, the small focus range or the lamination that caused that.
As if by fate, I also lost an ebay auction for a Seal Jr. which is a small (8.5" x 11") laminating press which sold for only $45... I forgot to check back on the auction. Oh well. I will not be buying any of the Alumamark at $63 for 10 (8.5" x 11") sheets without knowing more about it.
I hope someone else will post some results some time. This seems like an interesting and useful substrate.
