I'm considering the Summa F1612 to mainly use it to cut rolled stock but also rigid material that will use a knife. I will probably add the router in the future. The router will be mostly use to cut acrylic and mdf. My rep told me it won't cut aluminum. Is it true? If not, how thick I could go...

That is a nice pole setup for the laser. Where did you get this?

Exactly my point. Even if I calculate shipping and everyting, with an offshore machine, I could change it every year for 7 years and still save money vs a trotec. If it was only a 30% variance, I would definitely go with trotec.

In my case, if I go with a big brand, I will go with trotec. They have an office near me and the feedbacks I've got around is awesome. Epilog have a great reputation too, but the service part is far away from me. I understand che offshore brand will probably have a questionable customer service...

Hello folks, I'm doing my homework about laser cutter/engraver. I'm looking for a 36x48 bed that would be able to cut acrylic up to 1/2in and maybe very occasionally 1in thick. Other than that, it will be mostly used to make sign with 2 ply material. I've looked at big brand like trotec but...

I was about to say exactly the same thing. It could be the liner having some humidity in it. Does this side of the roll is the one on the floor?

I have the exact same list. I would be interested too to have feedback from SharpCut. I never operate or own a machine like this. So I'm not sure what I should look or ask. The three brand have good dealers in my area. But only ESKO sell and service direct. I don't know if it's a ''plus value''.

We are moving in december and we are looking for new equipment. Right now the Kala mistral 1650 laminator and Kala XY cutter is on our list. We mostly do murals and interior stuff. Due to a lack of space in our current shop, we did not had a laminator. We only needed it maybe once or twice a...

And by curiosity. What is your shop size and what machinery do you have?

Yes. The order have not been placed yet because we are looking for a new location. But our list right now is 2X HP W800, Kala mistral 1650, a summa s2 with tangential knife and currently evaluation some possibility for a XY cutter (checking for a Chinese brand) and flatbed application table...

Our main business is wallpaper and we make a decent margin on them. But with the new equipment, we will be able to open a hole new segment and speeding our current process. I'm pretty good with tracking the number to calculate the final margin (I also time myself on each job) and evaluating what...

That is very impressive. Right now, I'm the only one making the production and we are making a bit more than 300k$/year. With the new equipment, we will open a new market and considerably speeding the production.

95% of our products are roll-to-roll prints that we produce in-house. All the install are sub-out. We are expanding with new capability (upgrading all our machines) but mainly with a whole new market/customer base that just opened for us.

Like the title says, is there any one man shop or less than 3 employes that make around 500k$ in annual sales? We are expanding and I'm trying to figure if I will be able to make it alone with my wife (she only make design and customer relations).

Did you check if the printer still have bowing in the print and if the output size is different of what it should be? Those and color consistency are my main concern on latex printer. I currently have a l260 and planning to buy a w800.

In my current example, I have to make a directory with braille. The board is 36in wide X 60in high. How would I add the braille on this?

I would like to know what kind of equipment it take to make tactile and braille signs? I'm very intrigued in this market and would like to learn more about it. I've googled the topic but did not get a clear answers. Thanks.

Well, I will have to make more research about the subject. Thanks all for the informations.

We do quite of share of frosted vinyl install (almost 50% of our install). I've been asked a few time for clear security film and always turn down those jobs. But now, a long term customer is asking and I'm curious to know if we could go in that market. From the specifications, the material is...

Thanks all for your help and informations. To answers some questions, almost 50% will be used for white ink. The Canon was a great contender, but the lack of white and the high price did not make the list. I will definitely make some test at my local dealers before making any purchase. As for...
