  2. Printing panels that line up on HP FB?

    Yes, if I'm doing more than 2 panels, I continue to clean and tape the panels together (i have another one of those tables just in case i really need it on the other side of the printer) I have had no problem doing 4 x 8' sheets of PVC with this method, registration has always been spot on. I...
  3. Printing panels that line up on HP FB?

    Since our graphics shop is owned by an exhibit company, we had our shop build those tables. I have 4 more that are not adjustable for doing fabric/sewing. The height adjustment with the trailer wheels is pretty easy (I run around the table and crank all 4 wheels by myself) We had to add those...
  4. What does your Shop Trade Show Display Look Like?

    Haven't been on here in a while...here was our setup for when we were doing local chamber stuff.
  5. Printing panels that line up on HP FB?

    We have a FB700 here and when I have a print running over multiple panels, I prep two panels and tape them together on the bottom. I do have a 10' long table at the same height has the roll tables so that allows me to do this. We used to do this same process with when mounting prints with our...
  6. Leister Triac ST for welding seams?

    Quick question. We have a client that needs a 10' H x 245' W ft pvc mesh banner for an event in Sept. We have the mesh material picked out but of course it's only 164' and they won't special order a longer roll since we only need one roll. My boss wants to do an overlap seam and stitch it but...

  9. Proper fabric for tradeshow displays

    If I read the original post right, you want to print the fabric for a 10' Diameter Circular Hanging Sign. I will recommend against UV printing due to how it will effect the "hand" of the fabric and getting proper tension for those signs. I make tension fabric signs at least once a month (last...
  10. Boxworks 2013

    Box actually did the designing based on our site visit to supply them sizing and location. Box's design team had a very clean theme for the event, it was nice to work with them.
  11. Boxworks 2013

    Here is a nice project we worked on in September of last year. It's Box Inc's big conference event at the Union Square Hilton in San Francisco. We produced vinyl murals, sintra prints, 10 x 12' fabric panels for portable TRIGA systems, 10 x 38' double sided pole pocket banner, 30 x 90" milk...
  12. How can I stretch out banner better?

    Is that polyester fabric? If so I would have sewn velcro around the perimeter or better yet, used silicone edge material and put the fabric in a frame behind the black frame
  13. Latex Printing on Fabrics

    Oh in regards to the sewing machine. It's a single needle lockstitch Juki machine. I sew all the velcro or SEG onto the fabric. The frames you see are manufactured by the exhibit company we do work for. It's Octanorm, another aluminum extrusion for building exhibits, frames, etc. You can do...
  14. Latex Printing on Fabrics

    Our Juki does scratch the latex a little bit. You notice it on darker colors of course. I'm actually in the middle of re profiling our fabrics because I just had a phone conversation with a Scitex Architect in Atlanta and we have figured out a better way to profile textiles without using the...
  15. Getting exact print costs from FB500/700

    For anyone that is using the FB500/700, how are you getting your final exact print costs? are you importing the csv file from the printer into a spreadsheet or using another alternative? I'm testing cost proof in Caldera now but don't like the fact you have to set the printer to "Print"...
