We have noticed the inks are pretty much dry as soon as they clear the dryer on the printer, I have been known to print full bleed decals and cut them straight away, it does cause edge curling on some vinyl, but that is true on any eco sol machine. We started using a 6 mil vinyl from general...

With the orange and red inks in the Epson, you will end up with a much better looking final product than from a UV printer, ours is photo quality and its very fast. I'm not super familiar with UV roll to roll printers, but can they even print on poster paper? I would have thought the ink was...

I have no experience with the Mimaki, but I have run an Epson 80600 for the past 8 months, it's been amazing for us so far!

Yes i know the festool one is very expensive, I'm not looking at that perticular model, dewalt, makita etc all make their own version that is much less expensive, you can get a saw & 102" of track for around $400 with some of the other brands.

Thanks guys, looks like I may have sued the wrong term, I'm not looking for a panel saw, i'm looking at a track saw which uses an aluminum track to guide a circular saw along, like this Plunge Cut Track Saw TS 75 EQ-F-Plus-FS USA

I was wondering if anyone uses a plunge cut track saw in their shop for cutting up sheet goods? We have a table saw and it's great for some things, but handling 4x8 sheets easily is not one of them. We used to have a keen cut stand up cutter but I found it lacking as it can't cut things like...

I have had a few failures and no longer use it. the most recent was on a glass door, full coverge, cleaned the door very well, and it was peeling up in about 2 weeks

Ours will sometimes sit for a week unused during lulls in printing (we are not a print only shop) I just fire it up, do a 5 minute head clean and it's good to go.

I've only had the Epson for about 6-8 months, but I would imagine the ink longevity is around the same, the inks and printer are MCS certified same as the HP's most printers say 3 years unlaminated. Another nice thing with the Epson is you have the option of adding white or silver ink as...

We also run an Epson s80600 and it has been amazing compared to our old rolands, absolutely perfect colour consistency on large panel jobs such as wall graphics, and it can hit 98% of the pantone book thanks to the red and orange ink. Here is a speed video of the s80600 against an HP570, as you...

We are using a Graphtec cutter, the print cut registration is spot on so far, even cutting longer runs of small 1" diameter decals and it stays accurate throughout. We run Onyx for a rip, it has been a bit of a learning curve from Versaworks, and i still think there are some things that...

I always struggled printing solid colours on any of our past Roland's there was always some type of banding or zebra stripes going on. We just recently got an Epson s80600 and the solid colours coming off that machine look like solid coloured vinyl.

We have owned 6 laser machines over the years, All of them have been Trotec's, the build quality is amazing, support is really good if you do have an issue. We currently have 2 machines that both run pretty much all day every day, with regular maintenance and cleaning they just run and run.

We run a vision 1624 and yes it can get loud depending on what you are engraving, what cutter you are using and the depth of cut. We had a project to engrave a few thousand aluminum tags, one of the tags required a 0.090" cutter engraved to 18 thou, we had to do it in 3 passes or else the noise...

Did you tell the client that they can't power wash the area around the decal? That's pretty standard stuff to tell a client after applying vehicle graphics. If you did and they didn't take your advise, I don;t think you owe them anything.

That's stupid, time to find a new agent. Don't tell them you also apply vinyl to plywood, or they will rate you as a logging company

That's crazy, we do the odd vehicle lettering job or trailer wrap here, our policy has a rider on it that covers client's cars left in our care, it cost like $40 a month or something.

Phototex will work, otherwise we have had success with a permanant vinyl such as Orajet 3651.

Always let the client know that installations of customer supplied material is done with no guarantees, you don't know what material was used, how old is was, it may have been ripped a bit when weeded already and will show in the final product (especially with etch film!) A cut, weeded and...

i agree, I tell people that if they can sent me a picture of the existing sign or of the area, along with some rough measurements I can give a ballpark price, once we get the job and a deposit, I'm more than happy to drive to site and do a proper site visit, the price may change depending on...
