  1. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Ahh, a bit too far then. You guys pay 500 usd for ij40?! It's $475 cad here. That's $350 usd... Unless you're also including overlam in the price. I'd shop around or scream at your current supplier.
  2. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Are you in Richmond, BC? I'm guessing so by your $500 ij40 comment! If you want to make the trek down to Langley I can show you the resin printer in action, print some sample files of yours. Or delta I can show you the 700 or s40 - no s80 anymore, but the s40 is the same print quality.as the...
  3. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    I'm not pointing it out to say it's a small thing! Latex and Solvent printers are completely different workflows. So if the only complaint is something that's fixed in a different brand... It makes it a viable option to stay on latex. However if you hate the pre-heating, how it'll heat up...
  4. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Yeah, looks like it's only hot swappable on the L series, otherwise you have to pause it. I think it's a $2500 difference only... And honestly it feels like that's a small price to pay for 20% ink savings if you're printing a lot. No idea how reliable itsupplies is... Doesn't sound like a...
  5. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    I have the standard. I've only.ran out ofmink while printing once... It just paused itself and asked.me to replace it, then it resumed printing. So I'm sure worst case, you could hit pause, put new ink in and resume. Not sure if it's like the 700 where you can just eject and insert mid print...
  6. Named Color Replacement to PMS in Onyx Thrive

    So, you should always be working with Pantones. As much as I hate Pantone right now...a referenceable color system is god like in our industry. This first way will always replace a pantone you tell it to. In onyx, Click Setup > Rip Configuration, color matching Table. Click Print Mode...
  7. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    I've had it about 7 months now. I primarily do stickers, and canvas wall vinyl. It's my personal printer for my side business, I've done about a dozen wraps / vehicles with it..but most of it is stickers and 8 ft x 10 ft wall murals. My work got a latex 700 and I was going to purchase one to...
  8. Named Color Replacement to PMS in Onyx Thrive

    Not exactly what you want .. But you can create a spot color called "HDOrange" and then tell onyx to always change hdorange to a particular cmyk value. Same with pantones.. you can color match pantone 032, then tell onyx to always use those values for pantone 032. That's the "proper" way to...
  9. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/FCAuig2zALFg4SNV7 The resin is almost as much of a color gamut as an s80 I'm told - higher than latex and s40. Everything I've printed has come out fine and vibrant, and my blacks are pure black. We run an s40, 700 and the resin, so far the resins the most versatile...
  10. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Is the only thing you don't like about the hps the color shift? Look into the Epson r5070. It's epsons version of latex called.resin.... while the heads are user replaceable, they last 5 years and aren't meant to be a consumable... So no color shift and panel size is always perfect. Big fan...
  11. Which Flatbed Printer would you get with a extra $50k?

    According to their YouTube channel an 18 x 24 takes 3 mins to print on its fastest setting... So my guess is outdoor, not so great quality. So 100 sings would take you 300 minutes at the minimum - 5 hours to print 100 signs. I can print a 4x8 in 6 mins on our flatbed, so 6 mins for me to...
  12. Which Flatbed Printer would you get with a extra $50k?

    For 25k.... You can't even buy a Roland desktop flatbed. You'll have to look used for that price... And even still, finding a decent flatbed for 25k or under used will be hard. Flatbed printers range from 75-150k for entry levels
  13. Question sandwiching mdo with aluminum faces

    Why not just print on .081 aluminum? It'd probably be cheaper than .041 and a piece of mdo... And last forever. Your sign is only as strong as the weakest link... Which would be the spray on glue. Gluing wood to aluminum isn't always the easiest. If you want to go that route.... Sand /...
  14. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I went to usa this weekend - still here as I'm typing! It seems like inflation has hit you guys really really hard. 12 packs of coke are on sale for $8.... 12 reg price. I came out of Fred Meyers with 2 bags of groceries and a floor mat and it came to $275! I used to be able to fill the back...
  15. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    30 years is how long the term is. The first 10 or so years is pretty much paying off the interest. You sign up for a 30 year with a bank - 5 years is the contract at whatever percent you agree to. Then after 5 years, you can stay with the same bank at the new interest rates... Or shop around...
  16. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    So the terms are usually 25 years. And so long as you don't keep missing payments the bank will extend it. But every 5 years the rate changes - for the past 15 years variable was the way to go... I always went fixed. This time I went variable. I'm going to lose money, but at least it's only...
  17. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I don't think 30 year is possible here. 5 year is standard and you keep renewing it for 25 or 30 years
  18. frosted vinyl

    We just pull the whole frosted off the backer, sorry it with baby soap, the. Attach it to the window.. no hinging or pulling back. Super easy... We do 10 ft by 4 ft panels that way, then you align the top / left to the window and only need to trim the bottom and right. With the right mixture it...
  19. About to buy the HP 700w

    I will say this .. if you've had a latex before and saw what a pain it was to remove the leftover vinyl glue from the curing chamber... The 700 is super easy.. The whole bottom portion comes out in 6 screws. Traffic vinyl has a really thick adhesive that gets left behind, same with the high...
  20. Gans digital giving up on their media division...

    I did a search and didn't see this mentioned anywhere - anyone else hear about this? They reached out to us with some really good clearance prices saying their shuttering their media division. Kind of sad.. they had some great stuff at super cheap prices, and some unique stuff. UV Laminate...
