PIXMA PRO-200 How to print on 3mm PVC

I have the Pixma Pro 200

Am I able to print on 3mm PVC? If so, how? Thank you!

You need to use an inkjet-compatible film. Plain PVC or any plastic that is not coated for inkjet use isn't a good idea. Also, 3mm film is pretty thin. The films I see searching for inkjet-compatible films are 4mm and up.

3-mil or 3mm? 3mm thick PVC is pretty thick (about a 1/16" thick). If it is in fact 3mm then it will not feed on this machine. For that you would need a Canon Arizona.

Oops, I didn't catch that. 3mm. is more like 3/16". Certainly too thick for ANY printer that has to bend the material.
