The film likely needs a thicker coating of adhesive in order to stick to the texture. Try the Retac from Drytac. It is a lot less expensive than 3M, you don't laminate it (even less expensive), and I've never seen an issue on the overlaps and we've sold thousands of rolls.

I've got a Drytac anti-graffiti laminate. 54"x50' rolls are $274.81. It is a 7 year film outdoor, longer indoor (although not a lot of need for indoor anti-graffiti).

I saw it at the show but didn't catch what the price point is. If you are in the market for a good hybrid, you should also check out Fluid Color. They have 98" and 126" hybrid units which are in the similar speed range but I'm going to guess are less expensive and they don't require any...

that's an overlooked point....with normal UV and especially with solvent inks, the inks haven't had time to cure and harden enough and when you throw the vinyl around in the finishing stage (like on a welder or sewing machine) it is easy to scratch the inks. Not a problem with the Colorado.

I'd love the opportunity to quote and I live in Michigan! 64" roll-to-roll Prints in matte mode, glossy mode, or in Flex Finish Plus mode which uses both matte and gloss at the same time. We tell people inks are $.10/ft2 but most people say $.08/ft2 and many people on this site claim closer to...

Souldar - by the way, back off on your supply tension....the way your print is curled way up on the end is a sign that you are stretching the hell out of the laminate. Less is more....you just need a little bit of drag. If you apply that to a board or wall or whatever, the graphic, for the...

If the lines happen every "X" inches for XXX feet, then someone likely left the rollers down and in contact with each other for a weekend or a week. You'll end up with a flat spot in the rollers if you do this. If you have heat, turn the heat the highest temperature you can and let the...

We sell the Roland "object printers" which are very deep and can also add the ability to print on bottles. I've got customers who print on mini basketballs and Christmas ornaments with these units. Looks great. www.RolandDGA.com

so I haven't sold the new slitter which I'm told can slit "down" to cut prints after they've been laminated OR you can turn the blades up to slice "up" to cut excess laminate before the lam gets to the main roller. Sounds like a great idea, but sometimes when you try to do two things okay...

In USD, the laminator is $14K, the static string (recommend) is another $120.00 and the slitters are $1000.00. The slitters are cool but only get them if you typically get long runs of the same size prints. If your print sizes vary all the time, then the slitters are not nearly as useful. You...

You really don't need to worry about having a local tech with the Kala. 95% of the fixes you can EASILY do on your own. I've sold hundreds of these things and they work very well and last for years. I've got a shop in Michigan which is just now having some issues after running it two shifts a...

I've got a product from Drytac which is available in a 5 or 7 year polymeric calendared construction. The 7 year film is awesome. It is in the same pricing range as well. Paired with their perm, 7 year air-egress vinyl and you've got a nice sandwich. Spec sheets are attached. This stuff is...

unless you are going to be stretching your graphics, using cast is like putting premium gas in a Pinto. Go to an "intermediate" laminate (polymeric calendared) if you want 5 years or an economy laminate for 3 year performance. You can buy large rolls of brown kraft paper to put on the bottom...

If the machine will heat up and only work in turtle mode, then your safety eye sensors are not seeing each other. Play around with those or call Bill Moxley....He'll get it done for you.

Tyrell Tech for sure. They have an office in Orlando and do great work.

For short runs as you describe, Roland has a new lineup of UV roll-to-roll printers with white which are really nice. If your volume goes up, then I'd start thinking Colorado M.

Likely the only thing that would stick to that wall is Walk & Wall from Continental. It is a thick and textured adhesive back media that has a ton of adhesive. I've got a customer who does this for big meetings at hotels in Chicagoland over the textured hotel wall coverings...they are up and...

There is a primer called Wall Size made by Shieldz, I believe. This has helped a few of my customers. It is a quick primer that dries very fast. It promotes adhesion...

I'd love for you to post a review. With it being only the 3.2mil, just like with 40C or other typical adhesive vinyl films, you are going to see the imperfections in the wall a lot more than the 6mil. But it sounds like this is just a temporary up-and-down graphic where it should meet...

Sorry for the response being listed five times. When I responded it said there was an error uploading my message so I tried it again a few times and apparently they all posted.
