    i dont think that there is, the nearest youll get i think is the new roland which has gold, silver ink, or the old p60-p600 roland, i think they arte called, but dont think any of them do holographic

    thanks a lot for the info i think the fotonic ink should work for this project...

    i also have another seperate question and didnt really want to start a whole new thread..

    whenever i use the card tray on the printer(epson stylus r340) it prints crooked(the design does not run parallel to the top of the card when its printed)

    i tried aligning it and it didnt help at all..any suggestions?

    Honestly, I don't know this specific epson and don't know what you mean by the card tray - I thought card stock fed through the same main paper tray. Smaller printers like this don't often have very good feed mechanisms - the feed wheel also won't always be centered on the stock so it relies on the paper to be firmly against the small sideguilde. Does the paper have any curl or warp to it so it's not following the guide? Does it happen on all stock and all sizes or only some. If you can't fix the printer, you could always manually skew the design before printing - pain in the neck but not many options with small plastic printers for adjustment usually.
