Does anyone have issues with soot accumulating on the tip of their laser head? We have Boss Laser 150w CO2 using a 2" lens. We use LASERMAX rowmark for all engraving jobs. The job shown in the pictures took 12 mins @ 350/16 .05 line interval. I was advised during training with Boss not to use...

We will never buy another HP latex again. We bought an LX360 in 2017 (the owner got a discount as HP was just about to launch the LX365) & within 2 years we had put about half the purchase price back into it for maintenance/parts. We have been very happy with our Epson S80600. I am diligent...

Thank you, I appreciate you responding. Right now we're in the research phase. I'm trying to put together a proposal for the owner & it's been a chore trying to find the adapters and bulk ink on the same website. Further complicating things is the fact that not all website descriptors for bulk...

Has anyone retrofitted their Mutoh ValueJet 661 with the bulk ink system? With all the ADA buildup we do we are going through ink like crazy. Our Mutoh vendor, Fellers, says they carry the adapters but not the bulk ink. Any guidance would be helpful.

We have never had good support from them. Passable, but not what I would call good.

Odd. We replaced our GS6000 about 4 years ago with the S80. The tech was ready to teach me Onyx but realized that I had been using Onyx 12 for over 7 years and just ended up going over the Epson Dashboard and the newer features with the packaged Thrive 21. One caveat, I do work for Fastsigns so...

This may or may not work. And it may or may not be technically legal, but... I have a Pantone Solid Coated-V4 .acb file. This forum won't allow me to upload directly to this post so let me know if I can get this to you somehow.

Does anyone know where I can find 2mm mats for a CWT Apex+? I can only find 3mm. Would this be comparable or would there be a drop-off in suction?

Always go with the Epson. We've had an S80 for about 3 1/2 years and have very little to complain about. Color is amazing. Loading & take-up are fairly easy (this has been my experience with other Epson wf printers). We attempted to use the white but there was no real market at the time & when...

We bought a 1350 about 2 months ago. We were also having banding issues. Retailer suggested lowering the carriage about .001/.002 less than the measured thickness. Also, suggested turing off bi-directional printing especially when printing with white or varnish. For the most part this has been...

We do the same at our shop. Only it's $125/hr. If the client pays for the vector conversion, which I'll admit we have to sub sometimes, they wil always get the full file-type treatment.

We found that there wasn't really any practical use because we already have an UV flat bed that prints white as well. Never worked with the silver but our white eventually ran out due to cleanings over the course of a few months. It was really a waste of money.

We've had our S80 for over three years now and have had very few issues. Maintenance is a breeze and ink lasts forever. Buy it.

Hi! We've had a S80600 for almost 2 years and have never had a problem up until about 4 months ago when, during routine carriage maintenance, I noticed red ink leaking from both capping stations. I can't seem to find any info online & our warranty is up, so any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to update our current shop drawings for channel letters and such. Does anyone have recommendations for editable side-views & cut-outs? More than willing to pay but I would like it to include multiple sign types (direct mount, raceway, halo-lit, monument, etc...) and perhaps more...
