I sold four EJ printers and three of them were returned and replaced with 2 RF 640 units due to how easily the ink scratches. If you are laminating everything, then the EJ is sweet....but banners, paper, and anything unlaminated scratches very easily on the EJ. At least that was the experience...

I realized I made a mistake in quoting $.08/ft2 for ink costs. If you bring in a M3 then you are restricted to the 700ml bottles which are more expensive than the 1 liter bottles. With the 700ml bottles you should expect to spend more like $.11ft2

As a guy who sells Roland and Canon..... I have the last new 1650 in a crate, but I don't think I can ship one to Canada, so consider my input just my two cents. If color consistency is a priority, the Canon does it better than anyone. The red you print today can usually be reprinted five...

colored PVC mesh? you can get it in black, white, and maybe a few standard colors. I've got customers who wholesale it should you need some printing done.

I've got the last Colorado 1650 ready to ship. If you've got a 60" solvent printer, you can pick it up for around $58K. If you want to trade in a latex device (you have to rip off the serial tag and snap the control board in half) you can save another $3-5K depending on the model. 2.99%...

Drytac Retac films tend to work miracles on zero VOC paint. Similar (if not the same) adhesive as PhotoTex but with textures (canvas, linen, sand, etc).

If you are looking to replace the hybrid style printer and if you haven't checked out Fluid Color, you should. They take HandTop frames out of China and customize them for your needs out of Cincinnati. You can choose from 3 widths of hybrid (63", 98", or 126")....then choose what print heads...

the key is to turn down the roller pressure on your laminator. The optically clear lam is only optically clear because it comes on a poly liner which allows for the adhesive to 'glide' off of the liner and not be distorted at all (like a normal paper liner would). If you are applying a bunch...

you should see if HP will take the unit back. The Colorado M 5 Pro with white is phenomenal. Expensive, but the ink costs are still low and the speeds are great. Printing two layer (white then color) we clocked it at 108sf/hour . When you aren't printing white, the machine, as everyone...

I've got a few customers who have our Fluid Color and Arizona flatbed printers and print cornhole boards all day, every day. They do wholesale work, too. Incredible quality. They print and then put several coats of varnish over the ink and wood to get the precise surface for sliding the bags...

Two products should work: 1) If you have a UV printer, then printing 2nd surface on clear BILD material will work. You need to print colors then flood white. The film comes 50 and 75mils thick so there is a ton of protection. 2) Continental has a new laminate which is 24mils thick and non...

As a Roland distributor, I'll agree that the cutting is not the most accurate when you get to around 7 or 8 feet long. I love to pair a Roland print+cut or print-only device next to a Summa T series cutter...now that the Summa devices have come down so much in price over the last few years, it...

We've serviced this machine and can attest it is in great shape.

I'd agree with a lot of what is listed above other than the statement that calendared films aren't good for outdoors....I do agree that with the shape of this metal wall that a cast would have been a better decision for sure, but if it was flat, there are plenty of polymeric calendared film...

There are a few ways to do double sided printing on the Colorado...there is an element of measuring and making sure you have your files setup correctly. I've got a few customers who swear by it and a few that say it is harder than it should be. I can put you in touch with a few people or even...

Retac is thicker, more opaque, and less expensive than PhotoTex. The adhesive performs the same. It's a killer product for walls.

I can't answer your question as I'm not a user, but I'd love any opportunity to put some solvent, resin, or UV printer information in front of you as we blanket the midwest.

One part you aren't considering is the cost-per-square foot in ink. Most of my customers claim $.07-$.08/ft2 which is going to be half or more than half of a typical solvent printer. If you are paying around $.20/ft2 for ink, that's the equivalent of saving roughly $75/roll in ink (54"x150')...

A a distributor of Roland printers, I would say skip the white unless you know you are going to use it. If you don't, you'll go through about 2 cartridges of white a year just in the spitting process.

The customer is willing to sell the unit (brand new and still in crate) for $18,000.00. This will save you around $3,000 vs. a new unit.
