I am very open to a new RIP. The many RIPs all have pluses and minuses. I am learning the process of this so I am of course a bit hesitant to just jump into the deep end without just a small bit of knowledge of what I need. I would just like to get my training wheels on and rolling. Not...

Thanks but the "Chinese" printer has nothing to do with the "Korean" RIP program loading. Yes it is an Epson. Those drivers are installed and the printer functions well. As I stated and why I posted in this section I am having a RIP program problem. Yes. Have done a search and found open...

Hello all you smart people, I purchased a lightly used Chinese Flatbed Printer (for a song!), I have seen the work it can do and it should be great for what I need. Problem is the Partner RIP software (also called AcroRIP I believe) that came with the unit will not load. I have the dongle...

I have not prototypes but I do know what the previous owners of the product did do. It was the eco solvent printing with a Neoflex flatbed. However I am trying to get a bit lower cost and less maintaince that those printers require. The thought of dye sub or the cltt working is very appealing...

Hello all still doing tons of research onto what is actually going to work for me So here I am again with another question. I am trying to get custom graphics (multiple colors) onto either HDPE (white) or acrylic (clear or white or white opaque). Plastics are 3-5mm in thickness and are flat...

Ok so this is were I tell you, ok had no idea I could do it with that method! Can you tell I'm new and don't know much of anything. I just knew it could be done somehow. Thanks much appreciated, I will look into that.

I am looking for a utility, or software Not sure how to term it, What I am trying to do is, Print custom graphics on custom cnc routed plastics. I need to put 4-8 of the same item on the "platen" in the same location and have the printer print the graphic on each of the plastic. Kinda like a...

just stumbled upon this, http://www.gryphoncnc.com/ thoughts?

Those do look great. However, I would prefer to stay away from belt driven axis. Thanks

HI folks I am an absolute beginner at this. I am going to be purchasing a cnc router for a small business that I have. We will be routing plastics 3mm-1cm thick. have looked for several months at all of the options. I think it comes down to these two, but which one? What I the best bang for the...

Part of my issue is my location. I am rural so lack of support for whatever I get and lack of the ability to outsource in a timely cost effective manner. I am leaning heavily towards dye sub as it appears to have less issues than one of the sometimes temperamental flatbeds. Probably why none of...

Thanks again for all of the advise! The wear on the UV that does concern me. Being easy to scratch off is not acceptable. I have read some things were "getting the ink and curing set up correctly will prevent that" I think it is marketing hype though. No the tags are not molded they are cnc...

Thank for the info and the offer. I am sure that printer is waaay over my budget. I have to purchase a cnc router also! Everything I have seen about the uv printers is very promising. I have also been looking at doing dye sub as has been suggested by others here. Thank you

Printhog, I have looked at dye sub but have my reservations It seems it would be incredibly time consuming. Putting the film sheet on each piece and pressing each one. The jig you speak of I assume like in a flatbed each piece is in a "location" so, multiple items for each print and press? So...
