  1. Label material recommendation - must be able to write on and remove

    Do you have a laminator? You could make it with paper and a perm/removable mounting adhesive. That same retac adhesive I referenced below is also available as a mounting adhesive.
  2. Label material recommendation - must be able to write on and remove

    Not a lot of adhesive-backed papers out there, but you could easily run with Retac Smooth 75 which is a very removable 3.2mil white PVC. Not everything will write on it but most things will. I can send you some pricing if you'd like.
  3. What's your preference for window perf?

    I've got a warehouse full of Continental Panorama One perf which has performed fine with the other latex shops I have out there...and we are 30 minutes from your shop. Great pricing, too. 54"x164' rolls are under $400....most other suppliers are charging that much for only 100 feet.
  4. Wanted Vanguard VK300D-HS or comparable flatbed

    Budget? Other than as cheap as possible?
  5. Chinese Printers and Cnc equipment

    check out the KalaXY unit...made in Poland....we sell them and they work very well. about $20K less than the Fotoba
  6. Suggestions Small roll to roll UV printer

    in terms of roll-to-roll I believe you are going to be starting around 30". I could be wrong. Roland has the LG and MG models which are available (print+cut) at 30". https://www.rolanddga.com/products/printers/truevis-lg-mg-series-uv-printer-cutter We sell these at a fairly regular clip (in...
  7. Question removable vinyl

    There are a lot of options.... Drytac Retac is a range of 6mil films (some smooth, most have textures). Great removability without harming a wall or other surfaces Our FreshWater Films Removable Matte is just a monomeric matte vinyl with gray removable adhesive. People use it for decals and...
  8. Question Need Help with Silvering in Lamination Process

    I sell the machines, I don't run them. I could help facilitate a test, though, if you want to send me some films I'll run them and send them back.
  9. One Way Vision (Laminated)

    I'm no installer....I sell the films...but I'm pretty sure you cannot wet apply laminated perf as you'll just trap all the moisture in the holes and never achieve clarity. We rarely suggest laminating perf unless it is a vehicle application but even then it is largely a waste.
  10. New Roll To Roll Printer - Is there finally a "Good in all areas" printer yet?

    The Colorado checks the most boxes if you have the volume for the Colorado's price tag. I sell the Colorado and also the Roland line of printers. The speed is outstanding. The color consistency and scratch resistance is awesome. I've got several 'wrap shops' with the Colorado and once they...
  11. Question Need Help with Silvering in Lamination Process

    So let me get this straight - you are laminating white cast vinyl with no ink on it and then printing on top of the lamination? Is the silvering universally found all over the print or is it primarily in the middle of the print? If it is mostly in the middle, the operator has too much downward...
  12. One Way Vision (Laminated)

    did you try to wet-apply the perf?
  13. High Tack Vinyl issue

    I've got a killer high-tack and high coat-weight adhesive vinyl made for me by Drytac. It has double the amount of adhesive coating than a standard film and the adhesive sticks like grim death to just about anything. I've got users who put this on powder-coated metals and (knock-on-wood) no...
  14. Banners with frequently changed dates

    applying an adhesive vinyl like Spot On on top of the banner would be very easy. A drunk monkey can put these decals up with no wrinkles or bubbles....it is also removable...although you always want to check as sometimes adhesive on top of PVC can really become aggressive, but usually it doesn't.
  15. Wrestling Room at High School Signs with multiple names

    It has been mentioned a few times, but covering the existing signs with adhesive-backed magnet and then printing on magnetic receptive media is a great way to go for this. Any amateur can apply and remove new and old names. Inexpensive. One of my customers does this for menu boards. I...
  16. Could not be more dissappointed in LEXJET

    don't hesitate...I know I can help on the laminator for sure....maybe we can make a few bucks together.
  17. Could not be more dissappointed in LEXJET

    Where in Indiana are you located? If/when I'm in the area, I'll swing by and teach you how to run the laminator and maybe provide a 2nd set of eyes on your print/cut problems.
  18. Canon Colorado 1650 Ink Errors

    replace them all...
  19. UV Flatbed Printer Experience

    Look at Fluid Color. www.FluidColor.com They make wide open flatbed printers...by wide open I mean you can adjust just about any feature on the unit. You can do 90% of the fixes yourself. Great people behind the unit. Excellent pricing. The machines can be upgraded in the field for more...
  20. Advice on laminator

    Having worked for Seal for most of my career, we came out with hand crank systems simply to take a ton of cost out. At first, I wasn't a fan...but you can really fine-tune the pressure which is nice...After a few weeks of using one, I was pretty sold. The drawback is it is very difficult to...
