  1. Suggestions Looking for flat bed printer suggestions

    I personally would stay with EFI and look into the 16H. It is a lot better than the 1625. We had a 1625 and upgraded to the 16H and its night and day difference.
  2. uv printer

    Everyone is talking about a smell but on both of our EFI printers I smell very little. I have more smell that comes off our ecosolvent printer than 2 large format EFI UV printers. Guess it comes down to how much air flow your building has.
  3. uv printer

    Depends on what your wanting to print but we have 6 in total and would not want to be without them. Printing vinyl then applying to large sheets sucks especially when you have 50 sheets of coroplast to do 2 sided.
  4. EFI Pro 24F Flatbed

    I have had a 24F since they came out. Actually I have the first one ever installed as I was part of the Early Adopter on the machine with EFI. That print profile will only be good if being viewed from a long distance. 95% of what we print is POP. Inkset we are running is the POPV2 At...
  5. Polished edges on acrylic

    The absolute best way to do it is flame polishing but you have to use the proper gasses. Get an Acetylene torch setup with Hydrogen and Oxygen as the two gasses. We have polished 1/2" thick 3'x4' signs in about 5 minutes a piece. The edge comes out like glass. Wheel polishing would be the...
  6. Leaking ink

    that could be a few things. More than likely the white pump in the back behind the cartridges. A tech can come fix it. You would have to call Epson and they will get you set up with decision one where they will quote the job.
  7. Suggestions I have many 220 ink cartridges which still have ink in them

    Seems to me adding ink to another cartridge will only leave you with that much left over in the newer cartridge. The chips are accounting for a certain volume of ink. Once the machine thinks it has used that ink it reads zero. If it thinks there is 220mL worth of ink and you add 50mL you will...
  8. Rotary engravers

    We have 4 rotary engravers. Xenetech used to be the top dog but once the founder died they fell back quite a bit. The other 3 that we run are Vision. They are solid machines as well. We use the 1212 for small parts but also go all the way up to their 2550 bed. You can laser plastic wood and...
  9. UV print job

    I would try and find someone local depending on how big of a sheet your looking for.
  10. Routing sandwiched Arcylic and ACM

    your not going to get good results using 1 bit and trying to do it all. you really need to cut the top layer with the correct bit then cut the bottom layer with the correct bit for that. Its a pain but that would be the only way to not kill your bits.
  11. Discussion RGB to CMYK file

    I would just print the file in the RGB format they brought it in. No need to convert it let the RIP handle that.
  12. Neither Graphtec Nor Zund See Marks Printed on Some Materials

    With the Zund cutter you can control the camera as far as brightness and contrast. We do it all the time when cutting/routing clear material
  13. Suggestions Turn on the humidifier, today!!!

    Just have your HVAC guy put a humidifier on your system. You can determine the settings and let it work through out the whole building.
  14. Discussion Automotive company decals

    Factory decals are screen printed.
  15. Vinyl Master users - Way to clear the spooler? Im pissed

    I would say if they don't give a crap then find new software.
  16. UV LED Printing ADA signs

    We run Trotec lasers to cut the wording and figures out as it gives it a lot cleaner look that using a rotary engraver. We have Xenetech and Vision engravers that allow us to engrave the holes for the raster beads. The vision would allow you to cut the works and figures punch the holes and...
  17. How to increase the adhesiveness of vinyl for installation on concrete?

    You are asking for trouble trying to add something to make the vinyl more aggressive. This just needs to get reprinted on the proper material. Site evaluations are always important to know exactly what you are working with.
  18. Sign torn off - thoughts?

    3mm ACM is only used if going flat on a building wall. We use 063 aluminum for the simple 18x12 parking signs anything larger will get 080 aluminum.
  19. EFI 1625 LED, is it worth purchasing used?

    We had a 1625 and it was a nightmare. We got EFI to upgrade us to the 16H and it has been great going on 2 years now. I would never even think about a 1625 even if someone gave it to me for free.
  20. Need Help JFX200 White Ink Problems

    Could be a few things. What is the humidity in the room? If humidity is low it can cause white ink problems. Static? Static can cause ink droplets to move from the intended position. nozzle deflection? What does the actual nozzle test look like. If a nozzle is partially blocked the ink...
