  1. 3rd Party Inks (STS)

    Thanks. Very helpful!
  2. 3rd Party Inks (STS)

    Thanks for the feedback. My gut is saying stick with OEM inks from HP. It would be helpful to know who out there is using 3rd party inks and would love to hear any success stories. How long have you been using 3rd party inks and have you had any issues?
  3. 3rd Party Inks (STS)

    I recently visited the SGIA show in Las Vegas and came across the STS Inks booth. If we switched from our HP OEM inks to the STS inks, we will save almost 50% in our ink costs. I have read a few posts regarding print head failures and warranty info. Does anyone use STS inks on their HP...
  4. Question FB750 Belt Warping

    Hey there! I've noticed our belt on our HP FB750 seems to be warping a little. Is this just a sign of normal wear and tear? or something else? We do clean the printer 2-3 times a week with denatured alcohol and plastic razors to remove ink. We also use masking tape to catch bleeds for easier...

    Thank you all for the feedback! Appreciate the comments and suggestions.
  6. Question Is it ok to laminate after printing on my fb750?

  7. Looking to Hire a Dedicated Sales Staff, Need Industry Insight

    We don't currently have a sales person, but I am also interested in any feedback on this post. I think your compensation seems good, but really depends on location like cost of living. Looks like Mesa Arizona. Good luck and hope someone posts some good feedback on this one.

    What would you consider to be the ultimate printer for double sided real estate signs. Printing mostly on ACM and MDO. Ultimate...
  9. How do I cut Max Metal?

    We use Max Metal a lot. Probably 60 sheets a month. We use it for Real Estate Signs and has been a good fit. For cutting, we use a shear and it works great. The shear makes a nice cleans edge. We apply the vinyl with a rollover table then shear the Max Metal after the vinyl is applied...

    Thanks.
  11. HP FB750 and FB550 - What's new?

    Is your flatbed still available?
  12. Flatbed UV Printer

    Thanks for the response. I should have also stated that we primarily print on ACM and MDO 95% of the time. Also, 95% of what we do is double sided since we focus on real estate. Our primary service is real estate post installation, but our sign manufacturing has grown enough to justify a...

    Hello Signs 101, We will be purchasing a new Flatbed UV printer by the end of 2017. We are approved for an HP FB750 and this is the printer we are preparing to purchase. Our company only makes signs for real estate agents both residential and commercial. This seems like a good fit for what...
