  1. Made an imgur album of the hour it takes for our black to crap out.

    This appears to have become a known issue that Epson is avoiding. They will tell you to replace both heads ($3k) and deny any wrong doing. There are several other threads on this same known issue. Please update when you get this resolved as I would like to know what Epson says. Thanks!
  2. Epson Stylus GS6000 Black Not Printing?

    I am very suspicious that it has something to do with a bad batch of ink. This is a symptom that is happening across the board on a international level to a machine that has had very little known issues. Very strange and upsetting. Was looking at replacing the printer with a new Surecolor...
  3. Bread Truck

    I am of no help when it comes to wrapping, but wanted to say hello to a fellow Knoxvillian. :smile:
  4. Epson Stylus GS6000 Black Not Printing?

    This is my exact feeling. Calling Epson, they admitted that this is a known issue, but told me they still have to have a tech on site to diagnose the issue. I asked what is the usual resolution and I was told there is know way to answer that question without being on site to diagnose the...
  5. Epson Stylus GS6000 Black Not Printing?

    Any updates on the resolution to this issue? We are having the same problem.
  6. HP L360 for small letters

    Great post and timing. We are looking at upgrading from our GS6000 and I was curious about the same thing. I have not seen any samples off the L360, but there is no way that we would go down in quality from the GS6000. Everything about the Latex sounds great, but we need to make sure the...
  7. Wrap Installer near East TN

    Definitely give Jon a call. Great guy and has been in the industry for a long time. He will travel to you or meet your client. Great quality with equally great pricing. :thumb:
  8. Hp fb 700 running out of ink while Printing

    Check the ink connection from line to the machine where you plug in. We received a Cyan ink that was missing the washer (I believe) where it connects to the machine. It was doing the exact same thing you are talking about. It was very intermittent which made it hard to diagnose. We later...
  9. Replacing Gerber Cat - Oce' vs CET vs Flora

    I know that CET was doing this at one point and would imagine they still are/can. I will PM you Jim Peterson's info @ CET as he is the man with the plan. If they are not still converting, he will definitely lead in you in the right direction for a new printer.
  10. Best Supplier in the industry period my opinion.

    Advantage is a great company and a great group of people. I have bought both equipment and materials from this company and have never had a bad experience. I was worried when Jim Peterson my old rep for advantage moved to CET that I would not continue to get the great support he offered us. I...
  11. Screen Printed or Laser Engraved Plaques

    We screen print with 3 different ink systems (enamel, solvent & uv). I would be happy to quote the job for you based on one of our ink systems adhering to your material (which is rarely an issue), but we are a good ways away. Please PM me the specs if you are interested in a quote.

    Bump for all the FB users. Also, anybody having success with static cling? If so, what profile are you running?
  13. FB500/700 users ->

    We have been noticing dots of ink on the back of substrates after they have been printed. We realized that it is excess ink coming from the vacum holes in the belt after we have printed a bleed. Ink has been printed onto the belt and gone through the vacum holes which does not cure and gets...
  14. Turn key sign shop for sale Deal or Dud?

    First hint: It's on Craigslist. Second hint: "Quick sale". Not saying you shouldn't look into it, but be very cautious.
  15. suggestions for a manufacturer

    I second Peachtree Foamcraft. Great quality with great prices and even better customer service. You won't be disappointed.
  16. CET Flatbed Printer Electrical Issues

    So the plot thickens. Just received a phone call from a great friend and an incredible salesman who works for CET (which made our decision to go with HP even harder). He is very aware of the situation and they are working incredibly hard to resolve the problem. I am going to private message...
  17. CET Flatbed Printer Electrical Issues

    We ended up going with an HP. There definitely is no perfect machine as we had some major issues right out the gate, but thankfully they moved quickly to resolve them. I am still very cautious to say too much about HP as I have heard horror stories about them as well, but we have been very...
  18. CET Flatbed Printer Electrical Issues

    This was a major concern of mine when looking at CET. When one of their selling points is that many of their parts come straight from Grainger, that puts lots of doubt in my mind. When I am paying $100k+ for a printer, I would hope that the parts are of better quality than Grainger. I know...
  19. Rigid vinyl

    I can't exactly tell you the difference between rigid vinyl and styrene or PVC, but we print a lot of the .015 clear rigid vinyl (never used the white). You can get it from either Sabic or Piedmont Plastics films divisions. I believe we buy 24"x50" sheets, but I know there are other standard...
