I've said "less is more" more than anyone on the planet when installing laminators....people just ignore it. Dial back your supply tension...you shouldn't really need any. Make sure your pressure isn't max'd out, either. I can't quite make it out, but if the sides of the print look better...

It is pretty short-sighted of your soon-to-be ex supplier to lose a customer over $75.

Itac Green from Continental is really cool. It is a 'gel' coating instead of adhesive and it 'sticks' to smooth surfaces like metal, glass, and finished hardwood floors. The 'gel' can be washed if it gets dirty. I don't know what IDot is but I'm guessing it is a dot-based adhesive...

I'm not a fan of restock fees....but if it is something that doesn't really move, they are kind of necessary. On something that we move all the time, not a big deal...but if I bring in a special film or color or whatever and I only sell one or two rolls a year, that's a big deal. As a...

Having been a distributor for them, there are a lot of reasons we moved. I won't air my dirty laundry on this forum, but I'd tell you over the phone. I completely agree that the ability to do a lot of the fixes on your own is a HUGE advantage of the HandTop machine. It provides for a lot...

I used to sell CET and ended up RUNNING in the other direction....do your homework on the distributor you are buying from and I'd really think twice if you are thinking of buying directly from CET. You will definitely want someone you know and trust to be the first line of defense when/if...

I've never heard of that laminator, but if you are doing the same thing you've always done, then maybe look at the supply shafts? Maybe something is wrong where the laminate is feeding from?

Who do you buy your materials from? If you are using a good quality supplier like Schillers in St. Louis, ask them to come out and help train on the materials. As a supplier, I see all the good and crazy that people spit out of their shops every day...we get a great perspective on what is...

Look at the specs between the Graphtec and the Summa....especially the tangential series from Summa. Now that they dropped their prices (Summa) a few years ago, it is a far better investment than a Graphtec. You can get accurate cuts up to 50 feet on the Summa....on the others maybe 7 feet...

I've got a customer who has done this work....the really hard part for him is that he has to totally wrap the pads (into the creases). Some of the ads need to be removable after a few games...some need to go the whole season. Unfortunately, I don't carry cast and my films had a hard time...

how removable do you want it to be? How long do you want the graphics to last? Drytac's Polar Transit Air with their matching Interlam overlaminate film will do you well. Stocked in Richmond. The vinyl is a 7 year, polymeric calendared film with a gray removable adhesive on an air-egress...

just use some textured floor lam. Cheap and does the same thing.

looks more like the material is warped than wrinkled? Too much heat? maybe running a latex or something?

If it is only bunching in the middle, then reduce the pressure which will actually lower the roller in the middle and help to more evenly pull the films through. If the issues drag to one side or another, then quickly reset the nip by turning the power button off on the control panel...the...

Here is the link for all the approved medias...select which Colorado you have, which software you are running, and then you'll see some categories for print media. There are a bunch of textiles in there. https://www.csa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/csa/support/large-format-color-profiles

We can help. We've got most Roland parts in our warehouse in Cleveland. You can call Anna 216-662-7474 and let her know what you need.

Hit up John Hall from Treck Hall....if you don't know John, let me know and I'll get you his contact information.

Try our Omni Print. it sticks like grim death.

Anyone know of an independent service tech in Chicagoland? I have some overflow tech work that I would love to sub out to the right tech if I can find one.

There are a few good fabrics which have been tested and approved! I'll email you the list of profiles which you'll be able to pull into Onyx. I can probably find a good distributor in Vancouver to ship up to you. I am at the ISA show so I'll send it when I get back.
