  1. Blockout vinyl?

    The new film is called Polar Blockout UV. It is only printable UV. It is a 2mil blockout. I'll see if I can find the part number. I currently sell their more standard 6mil product. 54"x150' rolls are $466/roll
  2. Laminating Bubble Issue

    Kala and Seals....the only way to go.
  3. Encapsulating Hot Lamination - Problems

    what laminator do you have? do you have pull rollers on your laminator with a chill bar? It appears that the laminate isn't being pulled tight after the hot lam is adhered to the print...this can cause the laminate to warp as it cools back down. If you don't have pull rollers, then have...
  4. Blockout vinyl?

    Does it need to be white/black? If not, there's a brand new film from Drytac which is white/white and completely opaque available in 2mil and 6mils thick.

    I can come by and survey the unit if that's okay with you. Is it still powered up and running everyday or has it been unplugged? Feel free to take this offline and contact me directly.
  6. HP 630

    If you want to be able to print consistent colors, you should at least consider a Colorado. I've got customers who have had to go back and reprint a panel months later and it matched perfectly.

    where are you located?
  8. Laminating Bubble Issue

    that's pretty unusual to get those issues parallel with the rollers....is the machine "jumping" at all? Sometimes you'll hear the rollers make a small clunk sound caused by the chain which needs to have a link or half a link removed to run smoother. I'm pretty proud of the guy above who used...
  9. Selling used large format equipment?

    there are so many monster shops in your corner of the country I'd think you'd be able to unload it if it is a good deal.....Lithographics, Supercolor, Image Options, Platon, AAA Flag....talk to the distributors you buy from who deal with the big guys and offer them a few grand spiff if they can...

    Did the Polar Grip work?
  12. gf 830 on maxmetal signs?

    if it is a flat sign, why use cast? How long do you want it to last? We have non-cast options which can last up to 7 years outdoors and for hundreds of dollars less expensive. The 7 year print vinyl and laminate will not exceed $600 combined and do the same thing. It will also be thicker and...
  13. Frosted Window Film, or another option

    Nekoosa just launched a great line of polymeric etched films. One of them is designed to allow light but no visibility. The one with the most privacy is Sand Matte with 19% light transmission. They have six films with varying degrees of privacy/opacity, but since they aren't a cast film, the...
  14. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Do you have those other devices or are you just ripping in Onyx to see what the anticipated ink costs are? I get push back all the time from people with Vutek and Durst about the fact their inks are $.04/ft2 cheaper....but the printer is $400,000 cheaper or more. Most of my Colorado...
  15. Grey Adhesive vs Clear Adhesive.. why use one over the other?

    Most of the adhesive vinyl we sell has gray adhesive on it nowadays...think of it as a primer before you paint a new color. We still sell a fair amount of clear adhesive for people who don't want to spend the money and time to flood white when printing 2nd surface on acrylic. It is a much less...
  16. Question gloss polystyrene?

    can you put a gloss lam on top instead of buying new sheets of inventory?
  17. Banner Hemming Machines?

    Miller Weldmaster makes awesome and easy-to-operate edge welders using hot air or hot wedge technology. There was a good comment above about the importance of support tables....without the tables, life on any welding or sewing machine is going to be hard. Miller has the T3 and the bigger...
  18. Canon Colorado M Series.

    The gas mileage is very different with UV gel tech. You get a lot more usage out of a liter than you do many other technologies.
  19. Window Cling Dumb Mistake

    I'm sure I can help you out with a few people to do the job for you. If you email or call me directly, we can find someone for you in Chicagoland.
  20. Removable "stickers" on cargo vans? (No steel so no magnets!?)

    I sell Glass Apeel and other products like it...I'd be afraid that if someone is just "slapping it up there" and didn't get a tight seal that it would blow right off the truck. I assume you are talking amateur installers? If so, I'd avoid anything where the lack of attention to detail (in...
