I can't explain the streaks and finger prints....but i can tell you we have 5 and 7 year calendared laminates under $300/roll which will perform as well on a flat surface like this.

send me an email with your contact information and I'll see if I can figure something out

So I learned the wipers on the Colorado are designed to be permanent and should not be replaced unless they somehow came into contact with something that caused it to rip or tear. I'm pretty confident that part, despite being for a large quantity, will get you out of a jam if you are in...

There's one perfect option - Courtwrap from Continental Grafix. This product is amazing and we sell a lot of it to actual basketball court manufacturers. Instead of the print media being "adhesive-backed" vinyl, this is a "gel backed" vinyl. The gel is tacky, but different than a normal...

the fact we've never sold one (and we've sold dozens of Colorados) is a bit odd. Hope it helps. I'll report back when I hear from my parts guru.

Their buying power is just stupid...and the manufacturers who kneel down are going to eventually realize the tail is wagging the dog. If they wanted, and sometimes they actually do, they can sell product for cheaper than I can buy it. But good luck learning about new products from them...

In Dallas hit up Mike Osman at Amcad. He knows his stuff and if you communicate with him, you can likely get the pricing you are looking for. You should also find vendors who actually understand the applications you are doing and who can recommend quality alternatives to what you've been...

I'm not positive about this, but ask about part number 1070095066. I have it in my system (and in Canon's system) as "Dry Wiper, Packed, Colorado 16XX". sells for $110.67 USD. I'm not positive that it is the right part and I show no records of us having ever sold one. My parts guru doesn't...

That's too bad. I surely can't argue about your experience....I clearly must have a more active sales rep.

In the last two weeks alone I've had price increases from 7 suppliers. I know more are coming. It reminds me of the inflation we saw after Covid and is very difficult to keep updating prices on the website and in our system. Not only are we seeing the market slow down, but it is taking a lot...

Check out www.FluidColor.com. They offer 63", 98", and 126" hybrids and you can load them with Ricoh Gen 6 or Kyrocera print heads. The Gen 6 heads are fantastic and the units have up to 3 rows of print heads available to utilize. They also have this incredible high speed 98" hybrid called...

I'm a Roland distributor in the midwest and we rarely, if ever, have issues like this...and the very few times we have had problems, we were able to lean on Roland to get them to either swap out the unit or take it back entirely. Roland has always been one of my most reliable brands in terms of...

You'd be surprised how many Handtop and Flora machines are rebranded by big "American printer companies".

The tension bar is key. You also need to play around a bit with the vacuum settings. This is a great video of loading "weak" media and around 4:00 in the video you can see the tension bar being placed. With the tension bar constantly pulling the media through, you should be in much better shape.

There might be a few SG300 printers from Roland laying around. It has been discontinued (but will still be supported) and they dropped the price big time all the way down to $9,995 (plus ink, shipping, etc). It has room for CMYK and it also cuts. Nice machine. Agree with the comment about...

What type of printer are you using? If it is solvent, are you giving it time to cure before cutting flush to the image? If you are printing (then laminating) and then immediately cutting it, this is likely the problem. It is also true of latex a bit but not as much. Giving the vinyl and ink...

There's nothing special about the HP product...and in this case, they are a distributor just like me. There's zero reason to be loyal to HP after this tariff hike.

Polar Grip. Yes.

give me a call or email me and I might be able to help send you in the right direction.

I've got a 3mil, 7 year high coat weight and high tack adhesive vinyl that sticks like grim death to everything. 54'x150' rolls are $301.00. I know it isn't 6mils but it is available and a fraction of the cost you are using now. Even if you put a matching laminate to gain thickness you'll...
