Hi Experts,
Could you please suggest me some good laser printers to print on
flexible material. I did try with HP4350 and Xerox as well; both fail
adhesive (tape) test? Any suggestion in setting some parameters?

Thanks

Paper is pretty flexible, but that's apparently not what you mean.
Could you be more specific about what you want to do?

You don't say what flexible material, I assume plastic?
If so which, polycarbonate, mylar film, OHP transparencies,
polythene, polystyrene, PVC, Perspex ???

The main variable apart from the toner, is fuser temperature.
The toner has a low melting point plastic component, if
you are trying to print on plastic, you can't go too high on
fuser temp.

Is this a different image every time, or many copies of the same
image, such as an advertising flyer?

Printing on flexible plastic is tricky and usually done
with special ink spitters for such things as "Use by" dates
on plastic bottles or their caps, or by silk screening
where you have to match the ink to the material
you are printing on.

Laser toner is not optimised for plastic surfaces.
