through a distributor it's usually not a problem but on some items we deal with 3m directly because of the quantities we purchase so when we have an issue that we deal with them direct they can be a little difficult, same with flexcon

years ago we had a specialty material we ordered from flexcon and it delaminated so we tried to get a refund and or new material they said no to both and just told us " yeah that can happen" :banghead: 3m is next to god so they can do what they want and not worry you will ever order from them...

i use the 3m Primer 94 on many occasions with all different types of vinyl and no issue. it does say not to use it with anything other than 3m materials but i proved them wrong. best why to find out is run your own tests internally.

we started out with roland eco-solvent print/cut machines. (went from 30" to 54" to 64"theory behind that is you can buy one machine so less footprint in the shop. a lot wll argue that it slows your production down but we never had an issue. as you get busier and need additional machines if you...

not sure what your business is like or how much you get but yes you can get away with it. i will tell you we got a 30" printer and within 6 months we ended up buying a 54" printer to go along with it. you can always use smaller vinyl on the bigger printer but not the other way around. think to...

we offer quite a few different services so if one department is slow usually another is picking up the slack. over all we are pretty steady but our silk screen department is swamped right now. digital printing is steady, die cutting steady and flexo printing pretty busy. we brought on a few...

not familiar with the china cutters but i will say any posts i have seen on this site with lower cost china machines usually not good. regardless of what type of machine you are looking for one of the main questions you need to ask is what happens when it breaks down or needs parts. who is going...

you need the whole plaque complete or you are just looking for the wood? we use https://www.jdsindustries.com/ for award/trophy supplies and then we print or laser engrave and fabricate everything in house

banner profile may be dumping too much ink. even if you don't have the exact 3m profile you should be using a generic vinyl/pvc profile or cast vinyl profile. also do those bubble happen during the install or after ?( it installs smooth and the bubble pop up afterwards) those bubble look like...

over the years i have used roland inks when they have expired and never had an issue. i could see certain inks being a problem but over all if they are in the sealed container, not exposed to any elements or light what goes bad? i could see maybe white or metallic inks being an issue but not...

one concern i have is the bulk ink system. all the inks have expiration dates, like most inks, but they have a chip and if the date comes up then it won't let you use whatever ink is left and wiht the bulk ink we don't really use that much so see how that goes

we got one in December and it's been good so far. some learning curve issues but other than that it's running smooth. we also got the cmyk w/ orange set up. prints are great, come off dry. cutter has been spot on but some small issues with the machine reading crop marks on occasion. all the...

try using a gray from the roland color swatch selection

stupid question, you're not printing on white material are you...haha what's your test print look like, the white head is completely empty/clogged or do you get some channels to print?

you need to pull ink from the waste hose for that specific head. when you carriage is in the home position you can pull ink from the hose that comes from the cap top of the head in question. the head soak you need to clamp off the same hose i just explained to pull ink from, put cleaning fluid...

white ink is definitely high maintenance. you need to shake the inks daily and actually use them or they are doomed to fail. i actually set up a white test print file that i would run like every other day just to run the ink. nothing fancy just a box approx 3" x the width of your material. with...

make sure to pay the troll or as we like to call him, Gino...haha

harborsales.net they have some stock size blanks and they will cut and round corners for any size you want at any qty you want

we print on chrome and or metallic materials on our uv printers all the time works great. definitely better opacity compared to solvent and eco-solvent

what about the R-tape FX metallic materials. they have solvent printable chrome. their outdoor life span is not like cast materials but may fit the bill for what you are looking to do
