I get mine from Kelly Spicer paper

I went with the Axiom America Arcus series printer. I have had it for over a year and absolutely zero issues and have had great support.

Take a look at the capping station and make sure they are sealing completely around the head. I would start with the capping station first making sure they are clean and the bottom of the heads and carriage is clean. If everything looks to be clean then look at replacing them

I have a shop that I help out printing at $1.00 a square foot on their material. (the other shop runs their own job) It is not a money maker for me but has helped them out and if I need a hand on installs they are always there to help. Just for simple numbers I figure my cost not including vinyl...

EDDM does work, you may have to do more than one mailing. On EDDM I tell my customers expect to do at least 3 before seeing results that actually pay off. Some customers have had success with the first mailing. Just avoid EDDM during political times they just get thrown away.

The printer is great. It's an Arcus machine from Axiom America. Usually want to run it everyday even if it is a test pattern. The prints have been holding up great so far.

Transfer express is who I use to use before getting my own setup. Most of the customers I have been geeting wanting to do any aparral was always so many varying sizes and/our designs that transfer express was just hard to make the small quotes turn into jobs.

I did something close for control panels that had buttons that pushed on the back side so it wasn't 30 mil think. I printed on a digital press 14 mil synthetic and cold laminated it with a 2 mil laminate, a mounting adhesive on the back then laser cut to the exact shape. I did prototype one with...

I have used zooprintng, sinalite, colorful and gone to a couple specialized place for out sourcing. I have brought as much as possible in house and found it has given me better buying power with suppliers and ultimately have been able to increase my margin and expand into other avenues to what I...

I have Markell. They have been by far the cheapest and they actually will pay a claim if needed.

I have the previous version of the printer. Couple things I have learned over the years of UV printers. Make sure your machine is level. You have correct profiles. I use a battery backup as a power filter to make sure the power is consistent. Humidity (non condensing) and temperature are...

The couple signs I have done I have plotted wrap vinyl or substance 440 to use as a paint mask with good results. After applying the vinyl I heated the vinyl using a heat gun and used a wrap glove to ensure the edges we down. I got really good results for the masking. For the painting of the...

I lease with a $1 buyout or a straight conventional equipment loan. It does depend on a couple factors. The main one is the lease rate factor and if you have intentions of paying the equipment off early I would go with a loan. I have always felt having the cash available is better than having...

Equipment cost is hard to pin point. You can go with used and get into a printer cheap and have the problems of when you need service is finding a good and trustworthy tech if you can't fix it. Or you can go new and get an initial training with the purchase. I started in the large format and...

I am running a 1638UH with flexi. Send me a message and I can send the profiles I use to see if that gets you closer.

Find a local shop with a digital press in house. Most of us smaller shops can turn a business card job faster than the big houses. It can also lead to more opportunities for yourself knowing you have a good local source for the rush jobs.

For the staticide I spray it directly on to the board and wipe it off with a lint free rag. I have a 1638uh that uses the us11 ink and a 626uf that uses the uh21 inks. The colors come off using either ink. Do you have a rip software that came with the printer like Flexi? I print everything...

On my 626uf I am running a battery backup, a humidifier in the room it is in, pvc, acrylic and corroplast I wipe the boards down with staticide which has been worked very good. What profiles are you using when you switched to the us11 ink?
