  1. Is an HP Latex Printer "Safe" in a Small, Unventilated Office Space?

    I'm still surprised how cool I think the carbon air filter is that Acco is bringing to market. I've got one from a show special in my office. The thing is $2,000 but you can see the air quality level on this digital device and the unit cleans up to 2000sf of air. It truly works....the thing...
  2. Need Help Royal Sovereign RSC1402-HW Laminator doesn't heat up

    I don't mean to be rude, but those machines are cheap plastic Asian laminators and they rarely work after a few years. I'm sorry for being a complete schmuck for putting that out there, but I've been selling laminator for way too long and I always feel horrible for the people who buy them as...
  3. After market wiper blades - Aye or Nay?

    yes they work fine. We sell dozens and dozens every month with no problems.
  4. Wall of Shame

    Drytac's Polar Grip is awesome for this type of application. It is a high-tack and high adhesive coat weight to offer a bond on rough surfaces like this. Best of all it is only $301.00 for a 54"x150.
  5. 10 year guarantee clear laminate?

    I'd read the fine print on anything that says it lasts 10 years....the film might, but I'd be amazed if the ink did. I used to sell an ultra-UV blocking laminate which would last in fast-food backlit boxes for around 10 years...it had so much UV inhibitor it was yellow, so you had to change the...
  6. 10 year guarantee clear laminate?

    If that's a joke, then that is hilarious. Isn't that the metallic tape? Or is there a clear version I'm unaware of?
  7. For Sale Canon has a dozen new Colorado 1650's back in stock

    Apparently another country moved their inventory of new Colorado 1650's to the US market and they are in stock and ready to ship. If printing white is not important to you, this represents a good savings. They are also running the latex trade-in promotion so if you have a 360, 570 or bigger...
  8. IJ175 vs. IJ180

    You could also go with a polymeric calendared film and save a few hundred dollars a roll. If you aren't conforming to a shape, you don't need the physical properties of 180. Are you really removing the graphics off of boards after years of use and then using the boards again after they've been...
  9. Suppliers for large format media

    Buying a container means you are going to have to pay in advance for those 600 rolls on a 40' container. Unless you have cash rolling around the shop, why tie it up? Run your business in just-in-time and pull from local suppliers who have the stock already on their shelves. I've only seen one...
  10. Latex or eco-solvent?

    Solvent is better in terms of UV durability, but not by much. I don't think you'll notice much of a difference between the two.
  11. Need Help Roland XR640

    Did they replace the heads?
  12. UV Printer Newbie Question

    Nope....it isn't. But they are great investments. If you are currently printing with a solvent or latex printer, you'll save about $70/roll in ink alone....and then if you are printing on SAV and then mounting those prints, you are then saving another $150'sh for the SAV (54x150) and then keep...
  13. UV Printer Newbie Question

    If you have a size and number of print heads, I can tell you exactly what one will cost. We only sell them in the midwest but there are really good distributors all across the country.
  14. I have a question about handtop uv hybrid print reverse function.

    really well stated. Nice work!
  15. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    I have to wonder why it appears only the black areas bubbled? Or is that just the way it looks in the picture?
  16. Need Help Roland XR640

    I've seen this happen if you don't put the ribbon cables back in their respective places....I don't believe Lexjet is going to give you any money back but of course you should try! Roland is extremely generous when it comes to swapping out heads which is why we've found it better to just get...
  17. FABRIC PRINTING WITH ROLAND PRO 4 XR-640

    There are a lot of fabrics which can be printed on. You can get canvas from Sihl or reach out to the likes of Top Value Fabrics. You need a top-coated fabric so the ink stays in the coating and doesn't dissipate into the fibers of the fabric. It is more expensive and less wrinkle resistant...
  18. Anyone have 3M 3645 floor laminate?

    I can't help you, but I'm curious as to why you used the 3M floor lam? What attributes sent you in that direction?
  19. UV ink cost

    You really can't compare liter to liter costs between UV printers. The gas mileage varies wildly. As an example, the Colorado inks per liter are $170 but the average cost-per-square is $.08/ft2. We also sell Fluid Color UV printers and their inks are $125/liter and most users claim to be a...
  20. 20' Trailer wrap

    On these very flat graphics, why do you guys go to cast as opposed to a 7 year polymeric vinyl? Costs would be about half that of cast and the overall performance is expected to be the same. If there aren't rivets to go over or mirrors/bumpers to be wrapped, aren't you leaving a lot of money...
