  1. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    Oracal - 279 3M - 8548 Avery - 6460 Arlon - 3310 Oracal and 3M are available in a Satin finish as well, I think they all have Horizontal warranties as well. The list prices are high but distributors generally give chunky discounts on full rolls.
  2. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    Without getting into a Ford vs Chevy thing, we print 30-50 metres of 3MIJ180 and IJ280 on our Colorados every day. 90% of it goes on vehicles (like the one attached), and 10 metre truck sides. UV ink changes the surface tension of the vinyl which is what causes tearing to start, also the Matte...
  3. Neschen/Seal AS 1600 Liquid Coater/Laminator

    Did your client end up getting these Mr Hayes ? We sent them to AGL in Deforest WI on 15th January.
  4. Squeegee Streaks on Overlam printed Vinyl

    If it's already mounted on the ACM, put it in the tray of your truck with the tonneau cover closed.
  5. Squeegee Streaks on Overlam printed Vinyl

    Silvering always goes away, just a question of how long you / your customer are prepared to wait. Some laminates have a softer adhesive which makes silvering less noticeable, but they can be prone to shrinkage and glue lines on the edges. Here's THE BIG TIP though ! Once your print is...
  6. Summa S3

    The same lever breaks on the 3 Summas we've had dating back to the 90s. When the S2T turned up 4 years ago we had the local machine shop make us one of these from mild steel to replace it. Other than that it's been great, way more accurate than our Graphtecs.
  7. Neschen/Seal AS 1600 Liquid Coater/Laminator

    Email me your address and contact details, I'll get a price on the postage. nick@ripdigital.com.au
  8. Neschen/Seal AS 1600 Liquid Coater/Laminator

    I have 2 these from a Seal liquid laminator we had. Perfect condition, you can have them for postage cost but I'm in Australia. Let me know.
  9. FC-9000

    It certainly is a Graphtec thing, but maybe not what you think. We've had 2 FC7000-160s, an FC8000, and 2 FC8600s. We only sold the FC8000 because we couldn't get a working driver for later Corels (Illustrator was okay). It's profile cutting was pretty accurate (for a Graphtec) and we were...
  10. Need some help with an FC9000 Graphtec

    I watched this thread but didn't want to contribute a "you shoulda bought this / GM vs Ford fan boy" type of reply. Graphtecs are a great cutter for vinyl lettering from coloured vinyl, we've had at least 8 starting with their first 500mm unit in the early 90s. For profile cutting printed...
  11. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    Is the inference here that you trust the Epson ink to be more durable than the 1650 ink ? I think you may have it the wrong way round. When Epson first released the s80600/s60600 we looked at them to add to/replace our 2 Seikos which were due for retirement. The Epsons had very nice resolution...
  12. Question Kala Mistral 1600HR: any good?

    500 bucks !? Geez mate, go and collect it now before they change their mind. It's as good as Mr. Snelling says. I've had/got a couple of very good operators out the back on our laminators, both of them struggled to laminate beyond 5-10 metres without significant drift on the expensive high end...
  13. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Was thinking the same. My first one's lease is up in December - a well kept 1650 will be on the market.
  14. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Whale oil beef hooked !
  15. Cat's out of the bag

    Bad? As a 1 man operation it was so bad for me I got a second one.
