Iook for window blockout film. Doesn't have to be Aslan, a lot of companies sell it - it's white, with black on the inside so no light gets through, then white again... Provides a 100% opaque. We just use Aslan because that's what was stocked, and it's a thick 7 mil. The Aslan we use is -...

Probably, I just did the default onyx one. Good to know... I'll give it a test, but honestly it was pretty transparent with the mode it was on - It's a school bus decal - Black /blue ink on front, then flood blue on the back - We usually screenprint them... But figured we may as well make use...

No. I didnt think it would take a whole cart of ink... so once I saw the printer wanted that many hours... I loaded it and hit print on Friday at 4 PM. Came in to only a partial roll printed on monday and no white ink.... had to order another 2 sets of ink... This all happened last friday...

We have a job that's about 60 ft in sandwich mode - so color white color, it took 23 hours to print... And 2 full things if white ink on our 700w It looked great, but if we charged shop rate for those 23 hours the price either have been ridiculous for some 3" stickers. I was mostly amazed at...

Can't go wrong with the 5070! Stay away from the 700. I hear the 800 isn't bad though. Our tech was here fixing something else, and I asked him to look at our latex.... Showed him a slew of issues we were having and said that it's always something with this machine. And he laughed and said at...

Fairly certain thunder is just assembled in US... but I could be wrong. What do you hate about the omtech? Honestly, a laser is a laser - The omtech is more of a learning curve, and more for technical hands on people. If you're not someone who will align their own mirrors / level their own...

You're not allowed to have people come into production area? We always have walk throughs and show people around... our insurance doesn't care, they just asked us to barrier off the heavy duty equipment so people didn't walk next to a CNC and get smacked in the face. We'd never let a customer...

We don't print with our flatbed because it gets scratched too easy on acyrlic..m and tbh, acyrlic is supposed to be a showpiece, I havent ever seen a flatbed print as clear as a roll to roll (I'm sure some do, but none that I've seen!) We usually will print on clear a d apply white vinyl to...

When I used him, he said he couldn't work with the image I provided because it was too low resolution and he couldn't accurately do it - I told him it was the customers only image of their logo.... And he could interpret any blurry parts however he wanted to, and it'd become their new logo... It...

Have fun throwing it together! Definately a downgrade from the canon... But hey, redundancy is good... Let me know how it compares to the canon scratch ability wise.

The problem with pre - layering is when you're using a squeegee, the squeegee is to hard and doesn't get all the air out when it's going over a line layer. Get a wrap glove if you don't have one, and use that to do the install and it'll be fine - or use a soft roller, or anything that soft...

I'm not "too" happy with file run because while itnl works good, we reached something like 6 million files and it bogged it down... So now you have me on another rabbit hole to find better. Luckily I learned a new term... DAM (digital asset management) - there's a few open source options that...

What format are they in? And do they have text inside of them with a description? We use filerun.... It'll ocr pdf, eps, image files and all word docs. All our old artwork / proofs are on it, then we can just search for anything and it loads in seconds with thumbnails. We used to use google...

We just butt the Coro together for jobs like this. We buy it precut into 24 x 36, or 24 x 24.... Then it's always perfectly square. Butt them together on the flatbed, print them... Then cut them down to size after that. Our supplier will cut to size for no charge since we buy so much Coro...

Have you turned on expanded area in your Graphtec? Also its best to set the push rollers to the maximum edge they can be... Load it that way, then load your material inside of the push rollers and hit "Continue" then it'll trick it into giving it more space if your material lands in an odd...

In our experience, you'll never get as polished of an edge with a router no matter the bit you use as you would flame polishing or laser cutting the letters. You may get "Acceptable", but nothing as good as flame polished looks - We've tried the super expensive diamond polishing bits...and...

Ij-15 is a monomeric vinyl.... Your dealer probably said anything works for overlam because the vinyl is so bad that it didn't matter. I wasn't even aware 3m made monomeric, that's equivlant to buying a $100 Chinese roll of vinyl... Not good for anything except extremely short term. It's also...

Service contracts are great in theory... But when its a problem thats more than just swap this part quickly, I find the carrier always falls short. I just had my graphtec in for repair for 4 months because they couldnt figure it out - They worked on it maybe an hour a week... Because why repair...

Have you looked into the Epson Resin? Like HP Latex... but none of the downsides, if youre used to Latex ink. The S60 is a great machine, fast and good colors... The only downside is handling the rolls right after it prints = fingerprints usually gets in it... Thats the one thing I hated the...

If you've ever done braille before...you know that the beads are friction fit, And you need a damn near 100% perfect in size and depth hole in order for the beads to stay in. I've tried to do it on my laser, and it takes forever to get it dialed in on each material / color to fit perfectly...
