  1. Who makes Custom Floor Mats?

    What type of mats? I've got a film from BILD which can be printed 2nd Surface which comes in 50 and 75mils thick which people use as mats....UV printable only.
  2. Full coverage vinyl on west facing windows - bad idea?

    As someone who sells a lot of window film, I can tell you that about once a year I hear about glass cracking. 90% of the time it is on older dual-pane or single-pane windows. A few of my customers have a clause they point out their customers saying that cracking is pretty rare but if it...
  3. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    The Fluid Color devices start around 85K and max out at $225K....that can get you anywhere from 10 - 48 boards an hour. www.FluidColor.com great stuff.
  4. Vinyl failing on sheet metal

    We've got a film which has a high coat weight and high tack which tends to work on tough surfaces like this. Called Omni Print. Sticks to brick, most powder coated materials, concrete....54"x150' is $310.
  5. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I can get anyone a test roll of Retac....all they require is your UPS account number to cover the freight. The stuff works great and it isn't a high tack which will just jack up the wall at removal.
  6. Fabric Like Mesh

    It's called Jersey Mesh and it is a dye-sub fabric. Verseideg or UltraFlex should carry them in your corner of the world.
  7. HP800 or Roland LG

    You are a textbook case study for a Colorado. You'll print on most medias around 400sf/hour....some cast materials may be a bit slower....banner you can print 1200sf/hour. Ink costs around $.08/ft2. 3M approved for wraps. Ink is bulletproof and you don't need to laminate a lot of...
  8. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    There are required accessories like the starter kit, vacuum pumps, ink, duster air filter, ink/flush kit, etc. I don't know why they are listed seperately from the machine if you need to have them. Lastly, shipping the units are very expensive and they charge over $15K to deliver and...
  9. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    The Arizona 6100 is a great unit for sure. It comes in a few flavors....for just the machine it starts out at around $444K and tops out at $525K...but then you have to add in a bunch of stuff on top of the machine (ink kit, required accessories, etc. and freight and training...those all add up...
  10. Exterior Textured Wall Wrap Stucco

    You might want to consider an adhesive-backed aluminum product. It will conform to the stucco surface and likely bond better than an adhesive-backed vinyl might. Continental Grafix makes a 4mil version which is much more affordable than the thick stuff used for ground graphics.
  11. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Look at www.FluidColor.com They have 126" hybrids which you can load up with Ricoh Gen 6 heads and get just under 20 boards an hour in Production Mode (where most of the customers print...there's also high quality and Express modes). This unit with two rows of CMYK+W is going to put you...
  12. Thickest banner / canvas material

    There's a bunch. You just need to buy a top-coated fabric so the ink sits in the coating and not soaking into the thread. There are a good number of fabrics coated this way which are relatively wrinkle free (it might take just a few minutes for wrinkles to fall out). Sonoma Graphics has a...
  13. New flatbed recommendations

    While I'm not a user (I'm a distributor) I'd strongly recommend Fluid Color out of Cinci. They customize Handtop machines to your specific need. You can pick the type of print head (Ricoh Gen 5, 6, or Kyrocera ), the number of heads (most go with CMYK+W but you can add lc, lm, and varnish) and...
  14. HELP! Window Perf hates HP LATEX

    Continental makes great perf which works very well on latex devices. Their Panorama One product is 164' long and sells for what most people are paying for a 100' roll of Briteline. We sell those rolls for only $391.14 which I see a lot of people paying for only 100 feet of Briteline.
  15. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    Not only are the UV Gel inks strong at resisting UV fade, but they are incredibly durable. Hard to scratch and can even withstand a lot of chemicals. Take a look at this 2:00 video:
  16. What the heck is IJ-40 anyway?

    IJ35 is a polymeric. The difference between the two is perm (35) vs. removable for some time (IJ 40). The IJ 40 film is a better film...not as brittle. IJ 35 is priced well (I compete with it all the time) and I believe IJ40 is extremely overpriced. I cringe when I see people using IJ40 for...
  17. What would you use?

    I'd recommend against using a cast vinyl and lam on a completely flat sign. A good polymeric film (both print vinyl and laminate) will perform the same for a fraction of the cost. Like half the cost.
  18. Anyone know what Grimco charges for service calls?

    Scott is The Man. email or call me directly and I'll give you his number. Nothing against Grimco, but you want someone who knows or has been trained to service Seal units. He lives in Connecticut so he can't be too far. Mark@HascoGraphics.com
  19. What do you think of Roland Flatbed printers?

    We are based in Cleveland....but I'm sure I could help you find a more local distributor for Fluid Color so you have closer service if/when you may need it. a 4x8 with one row of Ricoh Gen 6 heads (CMYK+W) is going to be right at $110K (that's all-in...delivered, inked up, trained, etc). It's...
  20. What do you think of Roland Flatbed printers?

    I sell Roland units but we haven't moved any of these yet....likely because I've felt they are a bit spendy (as is the ink) for what they do. But I can say that with the exception of the EJ640, I've never regretted selling a Roland branded unit. The quality is always excellent as is the...
