where in PA are you located? your sensor eyes are out. not too difficult of a fix....if you call Seal support they should be able to get you parts and a tech
yes the heads are more expensive but they are dramatically more consistent and they may for years. most of my customers are well past 1M sf before any heads die of natural causes. By consistent color I mean that the red you printed 6 months ago and the one you print today pretty much match...
it prints a great black in gloss mode.... and if you use the most recent profile for more difficult media like cast you should get a great black in matte mode. they published a new profile a few weeks ago and several of my customers are thrilled
we would have to try it out. I'm not worried about heat from curing at all...I'm more concerned about the way the material makes a bend onto the print platen for printing. If it is really rigid, then unlikely. I've successfully printed on some thick CS1 and CS2 card stocks around that same...
not yet as the first units aren't shipping till the end of April. There are units in Chicago to see right away and I have an opening on Wednesday the 19th in the afternoon if you want to see it then
The machine is OUTSTANDING. Here is a marketing hype video: Everything is an option...you can start with a slow machine which only prints in glossy mode and then upgrade all the way up to the fastest speeds, Flex Finish, and white. It will allow people to enter at a lower price point and...
We sell a ton of product for this application and what you are doing (print mirror-image on clear and laminate a white/white SAV) is inexpensive and easy. We also sell a printable white opaque which would allow you to print double-sided with no image showing through (it is a 6mil white opaque...
Continental Grafix has great perf with a really great release liner at an incredible price point....most people can get a 164' roll of Panorama One perf for the same price as the 100' Briteline. But the release liner is really stable and doesn't tend to give latex people too much difficulty...
It really hurts when you are a Roland distributor and have printers in stock....we already paid for them and now nobody wants to buy them due to the promotion, so we have to sit on the inventory until the promotion is over. On the bright side it is driving some new business, but from a cash...
There is a new laminate from Continental Grafx (North Carolina) which is 24mils thick. It is the thickest, toughest floor laminate I know of. You can print on a permanent or removable (if you want it to last for years, it doesn't matter as removable will become permanent after around a year)...
I can't tell you scientifically why it adheres to freshly painted walls....but it just does. I've (knock on wood) not seen a failure. The adhesive can touch itself, too, without ruining the print.
Retac from Drytac is a 6mil semi-rigid....that means no stretch. Very stable film designed for walls and it has textures to hide the imperfections in the drywall. Much less expensive than IJ40 or IJ35 + laminate and easy to install. We've got stock in Cleveland. It's great stuff.
If you allow UV ink to get on your hands and/or skin over a long period of time it is common to develop an allergy to UV inks. I know of several people who didn't wear gloves when cleaning heads/drains/spills and after a few years, they cannot even walk into a room with a UV printer in...
Try Retac from Drytac. It has a high coat-weight of microsphere removable adhesive which adheres really well to walls and even after years of application it won't hurt the wall at removal. Best of all, the films have a texture so you don't laminate it. What you are doing now probably costs...
Mark Tangry at Lake Graphic and Label can do it....he's also in Ohio based right by the Cleveland airport and he is a wholesale shop. He has an incredible Durst dye-sub printer and high end finishing equipment.
Any polymeric film (5 year) from a North American supplier should do the trick. One good thing about our Freshwater Films Ultra lam is it has a thicker adhesive coat weight to avoid any silvering even without heat-assist.
