  1. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    I love the print quality of this machine! I did have a few questions/concerns though... 1) Finger prints. Is this an issue? 2) Heat. I was concerned with printing on heat sensitive materials. (ie 20pt styrene, foamboards, etc) 3) Double sided. We do quite a bit of double sided printing and...
  2. Large vinyl murals on foam core advice

    If you'd like to do this yourself then I would do this: Buy more 1/2" foamcore. Glue the two half inch panels together with the top face running vertically and the bottom face running horizontally. This will make the 7' x 7' a single strong one inch thick piece. Run one inch VHB around the...
  3. Wrapping a 50ft tall concrete silo. Anyone ever done something similar? Pricing and time?

    There were a lot of runners on this thread and only one doer. :) Nice job man, looks killer. Here's one I did that made everyone nervous too. It's a historical landmark, so I had to make sure that the vinyl would not damage the surface of the stone which added a little drama. o_O
  4. Opinion Any Opinions On Any Of These Laminators?

    I see quite a bit of time has passed since you made your decision. How has it been??
  5. laminate is too thick

    6mil is too thick and 15 mil is waaaaay too thick. You don't need to use a cast IMHO. A basic 3-4mil calander PSV with a 3-4 mil lam would be just fine. All cheap cheap. I would think that a 15mil lam would be fairly expensive??
  6. Braille

    Hi all! I'm looking for a braille insertion tool for my Kongsberg cutting table. They recently came out with one, but they only fit their new machines. (surpise, surprise..) Does anyone know of an attachment that is universal to all or most CNC machines? Thanks!
  7. Maximize prints per roll?

    The only way to get a better yield then this would be to run 8up.
  8. Commission Program for our sales reps

    I couldn't agree more with Eric. #respecttherainmakers
  9. Font challenge! I'm just stumped!

    Awesome! Thank you gentlemen!
  10. Maximize prints per roll?

    At first I was thinking of this.... But this would probably be even better.... 61” x 100’ 154,9 cm x 30,5 m 1 Roll KPPS61 Kodak Satin
  11. Font challenge! I'm just stumped!

    Can anyone help a brother out? I've searched high and low and I can't identify this damn font!
  12. What Would Be Your Next Flatbed?

    Wow, thanks Merritt for posting that quote. I can't tell you how helpful that is. We're looking at replacing our Oce 6170 and I thinking that the Durst 250, the SpyderX and the Agfa are all good options.
  13. Oce Arizona 318 GL white drop out

    Definitely, replace that filter. It's easy and cheap to do. But it could be the meniscus vacuum. That would have to be done by Oce. Does it do this on all materials or just one in particular?
  14. How to make outdoor backlit signage

    Print it on a clear adhesive backed vinyl using the backlit mode, laminate and apply to the translucent acrylic. Easy peasy. :)
  15. Brick wall install

    Thanks guys, advice taken, four tiles it is. I'll post a pic of the finished job!
