  1. Metal Business Cards

    I could not imagine buying a $10,000 router to make business cards. I am all for keeping business in house, but in this case: sub it out. And like Custom Grafix said, routing is not the method to making these.
  2. How was this decal made?

    We printed 3k of these a few months ago for a local bank. We digitally printed second surface to clear static cling, ran it through the plotter (cut to shape) and then screen printed a white flood back up. When your done, you can weed the excess or leave it (your preference). Pretty easy and...
  3. GS6000 Regular Cleaning Frequency

    We did this and I believe we changed the frequency to every 24 hours.
  4. Guillotine cutter

    We have 2 Seybold 51" cutters that are very strong. We cut 3" stacks of 48"x96"x.060 white styrene at a time. I dont know what we would do with out them.
  5. Longest lasting Digital printing?

    I would not chase this as more than likely that is a porcelain sign. You will not be able to touch the longevity/quality of a porcelain sign with a digital print no matter what vinyl/laminate combo you use. Porcelain is a glass ink that is printed onto steel and then baked in an oven. Very...
  6. Epson gs6000 and skeered

    I have nothing to do with production, but I will tell you what our guy in digital has told me. We have been running a GS6000 since August and had the same concerns as you, but put those to rest. As far as the ink waste, we were noticing A LOT of ink waste after only having the printer a few...
  7. Epson GS6000

    We get head strikes every now and then if we are running some sort of cheap material, but for the most part we don't have any head strikes. Like Astro said, we run full rolls of Bantex 18oz (extremely heavy duty) with out any problems. We always feed enough media through to where it almost...
  8. Epson GS-6000

    We bought one in August and it has been great. Very low maintenance, excellent print quality and incredible color gamut. We have printed on a ton of different medias, all with great success. Fantastic machine!
  9. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    When we had our motherboard replaced, all the settings were reset including the ink levels. We didn't notice this until after several days of printing. So we called Epson to ask if the printer would let us know when to change ink cartridges. They told us no, but we are sending you a full new...
  10. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    The invisible tape helped, but this still has not solved the problem. Had I known that I would have to stand there and tape every darn corner mark that goes through the plotter, I would have never bought it. When you are running multiple rolls through the plotter at a time, this becomes a huge...
  11. Price on new GS6000

    For $1,000 difference, most definitely go with Advantage. See the link above for tech support. As far as the graphtec plotter, we are not very happy with it. Everything on it works fine, but the eye/sensor was poorly designed. Like I mentioned above, we just had a run of 10k static cling...
  12. Price on new GS6000

    I guess I was a bit misleading. I am very happy with Advantage and their service, but they are just one more step that I don't need. When you buy from Advantage it's like you have 2 choices of service companies. I can call Advantage and/or I can call Epson. When you call Advantage, you have...
  13. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    Thanks for the feedback. Please tell me more about the Summa. Do you have any of the problems with the Summa that you had with the Graphtec?
  14. Price on new GS6000

    We bought ours bundled with a graphtec 64" plotter 3 months ago from advantage. We paid a bit more than what you are listing, but we also got a new plotter. After 3 months of having the machine running pretty much non stop, these are my thoughts: Quality: A+ We upgraded 3 older roll to roll...
  15. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    We have not. Thanks for the heads up. We will try it and report back with results.
  16. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    We are printing decals on a Epson gs6000 (colorburst rip) and cutting to shape with a Graphtec FC8000 (via Illustrator) and having reading issues. The plotter seems to read fine on any matte materials, but the second you throw any gloss on there it will not read the registration marks. Has...
  17. Welders - who uses them?

    We glue hem onesy/tuesy banners with h-66 from tubelite and outsource any large volume to a local awning shop ($.42 per linear foot for hem + grommets). I would outsource my banners to a welder if I could could get the same quality or better for a more competitive price. We have been...
  18. Contract film printing?

    Call Reyhan PGF (Nazdar's sister company) for full size positives. Troy Thirsten @ 651-256-0050.
  19. which printer is better, mimaki,mutoh,roland?

    This is true. Our shop has always taken pride in color management and now that we are running the Epson, we have saved so much time and money. Great machine!
  20. Pole Banner Printing, 1 vs 2 sided

    Bantex 18oz comes in 25 and 50 yard rolls. We print the 25 yard rolls pretty often and thats about as heavy a roll I want to put on our printer. Thats not to say your printer can't handle it, but I would imagine the 50 yard roll is pretty fricking heavy. In my opinion it is the best (also...
