  1. Problem with "black streaks" on vinyl material

    Bump humidity as already suggested, probably overspray caused by static.
  2. Discussion Wide Format Pricing Calculator

    Looks awesome Gene, this must have taken some time to set up! I'm getting errors when selecting roll media - seems to work well with rigids after some quick testing. (Says error: no match for all totals when selecting any roll media)
  3. It's more than just a statement under my avatar...

    Sounds like fun! I just got back from our first trip with our 16 month old son - seeing him experience Mexico, the ocean etc. was worth all the jet lag and money in the world.
  4. Need Help Laminated stickers peeled and warped/shriked

    I would think it's a combination of using calendared/economy vinyl/laminate and heavy ink load to the edge of the print. Your sample isn't failing (yet) because it isn't exposed to sun/heat. For vehicle decals we always use 3M IJ180cv3 / 8518 - we've never had an issue with it. For small...
  5. Can Mimaki JFX200-2513 print a rising words on a board?

    Are you asking if your printer can print raised/tactile lettering?
  6. AUTOMATION and WORKFLOW

    It was enough to scare me off, but we're a smaller shop/team. I want to say $2-3k setup then something like $15 - 20k a year?
  7. Question New Printer Recommendations

    You guys were able to print lexan roll stock on your UCJV? This was actually one of the reasons we bought ours at the time, but gave up on it as we couldn't get it to lay flat enough to avoid head strikes. We were trying with .010 polished velvet, is that similar to what you're running...
  8. Flat Bed Cutter Recommendations

    If I had a 5x10 bed I wouldn't care about segments. The bed on the F1612 is 63" x 47" so a full sheet will usually be broken into 3 segments. Due to the fact that the cuts don't connect 100% from segment to segment, (especially when routing) being able to choose when and where it divides the...
  9. Considering replacing our HP800’s with Epson S60600’s - Feedback please

    We'll usually just laminate next day, but Epson claims only 6 hours are required. Can print a roll in fairly high quality in 3-4 hours so you could crank out 2 rolls a day then laminate the next day.
  10. Considering replacing our HP800’s with Epson S60600’s - Feedback please

    We just added a S60600 after running Rolands for 10 years and it's a game changer. Way faster than what we're used to and quality and colors are great with proper profiling. I've posted other reviews somewhere else here....but any specific questions just ask.
  11. Equipment Redundancy - Bad idea to rely on one printer?

    That's brutal, sorry to hear they're giving you such bad service. I take it your dealing directly with Canon? Have you tried to bring it up the chain of command? You're taking this much better than how I'd take it if I was paying for a service contract and being left down for over a week.
  12. Flat Bed Cutter Recommendations

    Thanks for clarifying! Nice to see straight-forward transparent pricing on your site, better than having to go through aggressive sales reps just to find out what a machine is selling for.
  13. Workflow suggestions for multiple transfer decals?

    Yep. Cut, weed, add premask, trim into strips then singles with a guillotine. Or cut 99% through your first cut for all the rows, rotate sheet then cut right through on other axis.
  14. Looking for corrugated kraft suitable to route for dimensional letters

    Not what you're asking, but judging by the edges it looks to me like those were laser cut.
  15. New printer recommendations

    We have a UCJV w/ white and are pretty happy with it. Slow as hell, especially when comparing to a Colorado but it gets the job done and white is nice and opaque.
  16. Need Help How to Clean Retro-Reflective Vinyl before printing

    Why start another thread with the exact same question as your other one??
  17. Care to share your Epson experience?

    Definitely agree with this! Pretty bad when printing lots of heavy coverage, even compared to our UV printers. Air exchange/filtration would be recommended.
  18. CNC Engraver in the GTA area

    CanuckSigns is this something you can do?
  19. Looking for a poly material replacement

    Hmm. Trying to think of other canadian dealers that would deal more with aqueous stuff..... Found this in the US though: https://www.amcadgraphics.com/category-aqueous-print-media.html
  20. Care to share your Epson experience?

    I don't have any experience with that exact model, but we recently purchased a S60600 after using Roland Soljet printers for last 10 years. Speed and ability to lay down and dry ink is fantastic. Color reproduction is pretty damn good, even better with custom profiles. (Can easily hit colors...
