We used to have a Roland Plotter and it was good - but not great. The XR640 is decent at plotting, though you need to adjust the offset per job if you want excellent cutting. The Graphtec is much better at plotting. We went and looked at a Summa and a Graphtec and ran them through their paces...

Summa is a good choice too. Our Roland XR640 has been bullet proof for years. We do set a clean cycle each morning and we don't turn it off - it sprays the jets every few hours to keep them free of clogs - might be why ours is trouble free.

Flexi Production Manager for the cut, Versa Works for print. The FC9000 has an electric eye that reads cropmarks (You use the Contour Cut Marks tool from the Effects Tool Bar, choose Graphtec 4 Points Type 1, and to cut you choose the Cut Contour symbol - which looks like the Cut symbol but with...

For plotters, Graphtec and Summa. We have a Roland Printer (XR640) and it is a solid piece of equipment, but as a plotter not in the same class with the Graphtec (FC9000). We print on the Roland and do must cuts on the Graphtec. We also have an old 30" Graphtec that replaced the Roland plotter...

There is as Komadur

My first thought was to wonder what is the resolution of the original files... Pixilation usually has more to do with the quality of the original files than the print settings. I would agree that the wrap in the pictures is poor resolution - but is that because a small file was stretched? You...

Reds are notoriously hard to print (as are grays). That said, I see this model has various possible ink combinations - so if he is just using CMYK or CMYKLcLmLk his range of colors, especially Reds, will be limited. We run a Roland with CMYKLcLmLk inks and ran samples to find some vibrant reds...

In Onyx, in Job Editor, you can trap your white layer too - if you need to.

We cut out the areas that fall on trim. Usually it does not adhere well and can easily tunnel and trap water. I think it gives a clean appearance with it trimmed. When trimming on the vehicle, it takes a little sensitivity to cut through the vinyl without cutting the vehicle's paint. Practice by...

We have a 4x8 FluidColor Flatbed printer and really like it. They do make a 3x5': check out the R53F Turbo which has the with the Ricoh Gen 6 heads (great heads for high quality and exceptional durability). https://www.fluidcolor.com/printers/#flatbed White inks use titanium, I believe, which...

Harbor Sales is in stock or Avery high performance 24" Black. Don't know if they ship, but expect they would. https://harborsales.net/tabid/130/Default.aspx?ProductTypeId=224&FilterProduct+Name=Avery+SC950&FilterType=Opaque Grimco is also in stock (in either 10 yard or 50 yard) and they do...

FWIW, our flatbed UV will raise its head up a maximum of 4 inches... so 1 inch is no problem

If you are talking about the melamine faced boards, you might want to add a white "primer" layer so colors don't darken. White gator board prints just fine. We print on gatorboard all the time.

If that is the case, sounds like the runs are not that long. Roll out the lamination and trim down to desired size. Save the other 24" to laminate other small things. That is what we do when we only have 54" in stock...

We use Orajet 3850 White Translucent. We print using a Roland XR-640 with Eco-Solvent inks most frequently. Sometimes we use double Ink (Printer Controls, Overprint 2x in Versaworks). We always laminate to help with UV protection. We have use our FluidColor Flatbed UV printer as well (though...

Velcro Loop - there are versions of this that are denser that last longer...

We use UltraFlex SuperPrint Plus FL 13oz and really like it. A nice plus is it seldom has any fiber strands on the edges. Used to use Duratex, like SuperPrint much better.

Print first side, trim white space off, flip and print other side

We have a Roland XR 640 and print on Reflective vinyl with it. Oracal 5600 Reflective gives the best resolution. Nikkalite is reasonably good. Standard reflective, like Avery, does not always print well - colors sometimes look uneven. We laminate after printing for some UV protection. If it is...
