  1. Building a room for our new flatbed printer, any tips or suggestions?

    Think of Exhaust as well. Some flatbeds dont have much odor, but most do and even the low odor ones you should vent out some if you are enclosing in a room. Nothing like running a job all day and going home smelling like the ink.

  4. Need Help Help with Storefront graphic - removing bkg.

    We have the ability to do 2nd surface optically clear vinyl with white ink. Gives the appearance of being opaque with the white on the back side and the colors pop nicely. No cutting needed. A pillow cut would be simplifying the cutout around the most difficult elements and leaving about 1/8...
  5. Need Help Help with Storefront graphic - removing bkg.

    how much of that needs to be removed? Why not just do window perforated vinyl? OR Do a simpler cut path for the area you want to cut out. Say a pillow cut around the palm trees so its not so intricate.

  8. Suggest 3M Vinyl and Laminate for Ultra smooth decals

    8520 is not quite dead flat. We like it more than the UltraMatte because it has some sheen...just enough to accent the prints and make them stand off a dead flat wall for example.
  9. Any tips on printing to the take up reel for print and cut?

    I dont know how Flexi works. With Caldera for us, it doesn't matter...we can flip the cut to suit how its on the roll. Im honestly surprised that flexi or whatever doesnt allow you to flip the cut or search for the cut at a 180 degree alternative.

  11. Any tips on printing to the take up reel for print and cut?

    Cant you flip your cut 180 degrees ?? That would solve your problem as well. In Caldera we have the option of 0 degree or 180 degree flip for cutting on our graphtec. Otherwise, what they are mentioning above is to automatically flip your graphic 180 degrees so when you get it on the roll to...

  19. Need Help Does anyone know what would cause this?

  20. Need Help Does anyone know what would cause this?

    We use quite a bit of Duratex 13oz matte with excellent results across all our printers...Large latex, small latex and UV. Yes...its reverse wound which is actually better IMO. The 15oz double sided material from duratex is ok and we do not use their 18oz. Ultraflexx gave us more issues and...
