  1. Has anybody ever bought a print head from somewhere like ali baba?

    I would just suggest you really know exactly what you need and what you're doing if buying from Alibaba. You'll likely get exactly what they advertise they are going to send you but sometimes it's pretty easy to order the wrong thing. If it's an Epson head I'd prob advise finding it...
  2. Pole Banner Material

    You can do it a ew ways: 1.) Print double sided on 18oz pole banner, either Ultraflex, Arlon, etc or Bantex (Bantex is stronger, more expensive, good for high wind) with well sewn seams. This is the easiest way to do it and cleanest. We've only screwed this up once when we sewed them...
  3. Weird order scam? Anyone ever have something like this before?

    we get the same scam from various emails once every other month or so... always set up slightly different but we're always supposed to contact their logistics company etc. We get it on the shirt side of our business, flier printing side and also banner side. Been getting these for years and...
  4. Need help. Chinese xp600 UV Flatbed Printer Problems

    Hi, I really doubt you're going to have much luck on replies here. Eventually you might end up with someone who has a similar printer replying but if you need help fast you're really likely stuck working with the manufacturer no matter how difficult that ends up being. Sorry, wish I could...
  5. UV T-shirts Possible With Print Media or Need Alternative Ways to Do T-shirts (Latex, DTF). Is allergy to Latex a Possibility?

    i second custom-transfers.com. We order every week and they are great. Stahls is slightly better quality but way more $$$
  6. Commercial coffee cups

    we buy mugs from conde and coastal business all the time and do big qtys and have never seen this happen other than the odd one here and there. I would bet that you are cracking them during printing with accidentally applying pressure to the handle when closing the press or you're doing...
  7. Window film recommendation

    A wet install with grey calendered vinyl should be a piece of cake on this as long as you get a wide enough roll to cut them as single panels. We’re doing about thirty 36x80” ish assorted sized windows tomorrow and we’re going on the outside with printer vinyl but with a little practice this is...
  8. Sublimation help

    adhesion promoter is for UV printing only, not for sublimation
  9. Sublimation help

    Your time and temp are likely just off on the steel. Some of the coatings on the steel cups definitely aren't as bright but it should be a lot better than that. Either: -the blank is bad -time and temp are off (would put money on this one) -possibly and issue with the way you're wrapping the...
  10. Instead of Banner Tape

    I have no good ideas but carpet tape isn't very strong at all and it's a removable tape. I can't imagine it working for that splice.
  11. Wholesale DTG printer?

    we've used samedaytees before and they were okay, not great but I think we got a lemon batch as other people seem to love them. This was before we bought our own Kornit and now everything is in house (I'm in Hawaii so way to far...)
  12. How much do you pay your Graphics Guy?

    we pay $23 an hour for our full time guy. Pretty much exactly like what you’re looking for. He also helps with production as well when he’s not designing
  13. JV33 -DX5 printhead differences

    Contact solventinkjet.com Good pricing and they will make sure you get the correct head. They often have the heads without the memory board which is cheaper
  14. Drying transfers

    No, if your printer is operating correctly you don’t need to dry them
  15. Which Solvent printer to get? Mimaki JV100-160 or Epson S40/S60

    the epsons are much more locked down than your mimaki was and it’s harder to get individual parts. You should probably try to fact check this though as our epsons haven’t really had any issues. The only thing we’ve had was Our 6370 blew a main board right after we got it and an epson tech came...
  16. Which Solvent printer to get? Mimaki JV100-160 or Epson S40/S60

    We have a s60 and love it. It’s got a few quirks such as the fact that there is no automatic sheet cutting and we actually have a hard time running 54+” banner without head strikes. Maintenance is so minimal it’s almost a little weird and ink cost is competitive. We’re coming from a history...
  17. Can I make T-shirts with a OKI E-64s?

    I second colorprint easy as it’s a great product . We order from coastal business products. You’ll also need the matching clear transfer tape. This isn’t as thin as dtf but you can do it on a solvent printer and it works very well. You can’t print direct to film on your printer. Honestly...
  18. eCommerce Website

    We were really impressed by the demos of onprintshop as well and everyone has positive things to say about them. Sales people were friendly as well. Cost wasn’t that bad either. The only thing we didn’t like was that 50% of our bus is apparel and it doesn’t cross over well into that but for...
  19. Splicing Mesh Banner

    mesh is pretty strong so you may not have to reinforce the edges but I would if you're worried at all. We usually just use regular banner tape to splice the seam (we do a 2" overlap) and fold the edges (we weld most of banners now but used to tape them and it worked great). It should be easy...
  20. Suggestions Sublimation

    there isn’t really any spec but in really low humidity you might get more head clogs. Generally dye sub printers are fairly low maintenance
