  1. first time with 3mIJ280 and it aint working

    So far so good for us switching to AD 1105.
  2. Epson S40600 C1 being weird

    The C1 channel on my Epson S40600 is not printing full cyan C1 patterns. The broken lines change from print to print, so I'm guessing that this isn't a head issue. Printer has 7000SQM/18000Ft2 through it. Purchased new in 2018. Troubleshooting guidance is appreciated. thanks.
  3. 3m 9453LE 300LSE supplier

    I'm looking for a supplier or converting company with on-hand inventory for 3m 9453LE rolls or another 3m product with 300LSE adhesive, ideally in the western US. My customer prospective is a mining company that insists on using 3m 300LSE for their decals. I can handle the converting on my end.
  4. first time with 3mIJ280 and it aint working

    Printed about 70ft. I tried laminating a 4x4ft piece without ink and it still isn't applying correctly- the media stretches when heated and does not stick to the vehicle or a test piece of aluminum composite after setting and heating. Tried heating the vinyl after setting to 120F and 200F with...
  5. first time with 3mIJ280 and it aint working

    I’m doing my first bus wrap with 3m IJ280 / 8428 laminate. Three issues we’re having- 1) the media edges are shrinking and curling with heat before application 2) the media pulls up easily after post heat 3) there is bubbling under the media after initial application from the heat gun The...
  6. Anyone have a Kala XY Cutter?

    Talk to Supply55 about the Kala XY and Colex/Fotoba sales and compare their offerings and see if your print volume makes sense for an XY cutter, and get a feel for both companies. Definitely talk to at least one shop that has the XY cutter you choose before buying. I briefly talked to...
  7. Windows 11 experience

    I am curious- is anyone here using Windows 11 in their printshop and how is the experience? I'm sketched out for a bunch of reasons on changing to Win11, including that most of my workstations aren't compatible. I just had to modify the registry for one of my machines to stop Windows 11...
  8. Epson S40600 Orajet 3621 buckling

    I'm new to heater adjustments. What is the rationale for using the front heater vs no heat?
  9. Epson S40600 Orajet 3621 buckling

    Turning off the heaters seemed to resolve the buckling. Current settings Platen Gap: 2.5 Suction: 8 Tension: 4 All three heaters: off
  10. Epson S40600 Orajet 3621 buckling

    I'm having a chronic issue with Orajet 3621 3mm media buckling and causing head strikes. I've tried the usual playing with tension, suction, and setting the platen gap at 2.5mm. Can anyone recommend media profile settings for the Epson S-series? thanks.
  11. Epson S60600 & S40600 Technical Service Manual

    One of the links or one of the ads appears to be serving malware. If this is for real, can you use a reputable file host?
  12. Summa F1612 tangential module woes

    AirMark support in Seattle might be able to help. I don't know what they charge. Their team has been badass with my few inquiries.
  13. Payroll system

    We use Square for POS, payroll, timesheets etc. Haven't compared it to anything else yet.
  14. suggestions for good photo paper

    It is. I've never requested price breaks, but maybe they have an algorithm that gives them (though my order volume is not big), or maybe they have geographic pricing differentials....? I order from their Seattle warehouse.
