Just judging based on all the comments here and the photos I can see, it looks like it is only taking a crap on the one axis. It looks like it is trying to complete the shape on the X axis (linear through the machine) but it looks like it is in the wrong position across the machine. I'd look...

What printers are you considering for your shop? Most printers now require a "roll to roll" setup to even load/function. They have built in feed calibrations to eliminate banding that a "scrap piece" wouldn't work with. Do you have a local dealer nearby with a showroom that will let you run a...

We use MDF from Home Depot. We do paint the sides before use, but otherwise just use it as we get it.

DEFINITELY separate your workflow into two machines. Personally, if you don't need the white ink, I would suggest going with an S60600 over the S80600. It is super fast and dependable. We love the colors from ours (pay to have yours profiled correctly when it is installed) and can hit anything...

We have a S70675 for sale, cheap, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Or, if you want the new generation, go with an S60600, we have 3 here now. GREAT machines. The new printers are FAST.

We are upgrading printers here and now need to find a new home for our last remaining Epson S70675 printer. We are right by the CVG airport, near Cincinnati, OH. Looking for $3000 obo (stressing the OBO part!) Printer has no issues, we're just out of space so it needs a new home. It is 42" wide...

Head height is in the media profile on the printer. Make a new media type for banner that turns off the first two heaters, post heater is fine. Run it on high head height, 4 pass. Calibrate it for the media and print. It could be humidity or a lot of other factors but doing the above should...

What are you putting it on, walls or floors? 3M makes a lot of textured laminates for wall wraps if you're looking for a certain feel for wall wraps.

Actually, sounds like you have one of the switches positioned incorrectly or something plugged in wrong if this is a brand new unit.

Getting an odd-shaped piece WITH a grommet on it to feed through any type of machine is going to be a problem. I'd say look into maybe screen printing them (or even a stamp?) if you're buying them with the grommet on them cheap enough. Talk to local (paper) printers and see if any of them offer...

Sounds like the bar switch. The bar's position tells the motor to turn on/off to activate the reel. Look for the position switch and see if it is dirty or loose.

It is what we used to do also before we purchased our own CNC. It's nice to not have to stock any "blanks" of anything anymore. We just route out whatever we need when we receive the order.

Look on Google at the local sign shops and metal shops near you. Check their websites and see who has a CNC router. Send them the license plate blank "cut file" that you need and have them route you out a sheet's worth of blanks. Anyone with a router should be able to make these easily.

54"/63" is a common printer width, that's why they sell that size of banner. The size of banner someone needs is the size you have in stock. ;)

It depends a LOT on what printer, vinyl, and ink you are using. Some printers are always going to be grainier (latex), and some printers that use more than CMYK inks will make it harder to see the droplets. Quality cast vinyl will also take ink much smoother than economy vinyl. Then, you have to...

A Gerber Edge printer would be great for these. You would print the black (foil, not ink) onto the yellow reflective vinyl. You would laminate them and I would expect around 8-10 years of lifespan. We print a lot of labels like this, but are not a MM here.

Sounds like you might need a newer faster RIP computer, more hard drive space, or you are setting up your art files at too high of resolution. We only have to clean out the Onyx RIP que every few months here and we have three printers running paneled truck wraps all day long. I would also...

I'm assuming you've cleaned the heads. Are you using new or at least decently new Gerber foils and quality vinyl (like 3M 220 or similar)?

No need to use a leader (besides the print itself) for small sheets of print/lam. Just cut the lam a little shorter than the print, fold an edge back an inch and remove the backer and squeegee it down. Put the lead edge in the laminator and start the backer off the lam by hand. Hit go and lift...

I had one break on a 70670 printer at one time. It is an raise/lower assembly that breaks (tech needed) when that happens and it doesn't close evenly, but check the actual lever and see if it's just something with that. Since you had two break at the same time it seems more like an operator error?
