  2. Need Help Oce 480 banding on Ultraboard

    We get that on our Arizona, have never found a way around it. Have you tried adjusting lamps to see if it makes and difference?
  3. Cooling down a warehouse during summer

    Yeah.........so am I at the moment. Still going below freezing and it's almost May for crying out loud. It does get hot as hell here in the summer though. June-July can reach close to 100 degrees. Add in a bunch of equipment that produce heat and you've got yourself some swampy conditions...
  4. Cooling down a warehouse during summer

    We have separate A/C units for front office and back shop. We went a couple of summers before adding a unit for the back and it was unbearable!
  5. Best UV Printers for Braille Signs

    Sounds to me like DCS needs a wake up call and some competition in the marketplace. Nothing but horror stories on here about their equipment and company!
  6. Best UV Printers for Braille Signs

    Not to get too side-tracked....but they've been great to us in Canada as well. We've had our 318gl for 8ish years and have only had it down once, and have our tech's cell number and have never been let down by them. Had to replace the firewire cable a couple years back and he walked me...
  7. Storing sheets - what are you using?

    Styrene gets rolled loose with shrink wrap. All other sheet stock gets stored in our bunks. Vertical for all substrates other than 4mm coro which sits on a skid inside the bunk.
  8. Front adhesive with reflective?

    Seems like an odd request. They need the backside to be white? If so, why? Otherwise, my take on it would be to use an optically clear mounting adhesive laminated to the face of a reflective vinyl. You may then have to laminate the reflective vinyl to a white vinyl to eliminate that adhesive...
  9. Best UV Printers for Braille Signs

    Wow, that's brutal. I've often wondered how thick built-up UV ink would survive long term. Of all the companies making claims I would tend to trust Canon the most. I wonder what they have in terms of case studies regarding durability of printed tactile/braille graphics.
  10. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Anyone have any leads on an adhesive-backed paper media? Doesn't need to be Roland/solvent-receptive as we'd likely print UV anyways. Thanks in advance!
  11. Colex Sharpcut SX1732 Dibond Letters

    Those are all good tips. I find masking the sheet really helps hold small pieces in place, as long as you can accurately dial in your down cut position.
  12. Air purifier needed for surecolor?

    That's the thing we've found too - they need to move a ton of air to do their job which isn't ideal for a production area. I've thought of venting it outside but then it would sort of defeat the purpose of filtering the air.
  13. Print Issue - Static Cling

    I haven't printed on that exact version of clear cling but do remember it being a bit tricky on our Roland. I seem to remember needing lots of heat (which of course makes the media buckle) and printing at a high resolution (720x1440) and slow head speed, to allow the ink to cure before it...
  14. Air purifier needed for surecolor?

    We have one of these, seems to help with odor/fumes when running heavy coverage jobs. It's a bit loud but I would imagine this would be the case for any unit moving that much air. We found some charcoal filters on amazon that were compatible.
  15. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    They're service log decals being placed on compressors, with a bunch of rows etc. for maintenance log info. Sounds like the techs wipe the whole unit down with a degreaser (Spray Nine or similar) after they're done doing maintenance, I'm assuming to clean up any grease etc from regular...
  16. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Thanks, definitely leaning towards finding a better marker and telling customer they have to use those. I don't think paper would work in this case.
  17. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Thanks for this - will look into it further. Any other suggestions on the material end of things are welcomed.
  18. Looking for 3M 2080 Black Rose.

    Quick google search found this..........no idea who these guys are though. https://www.instawrapshop.ca/products/3m-1080-scotchprint-gloss-black-rose-vinyl-wrap-gp99 I'm assuming ND doesn't have any and doesn't know when it will be available?
  19. Art Deco font anyone?

    Thank you Tiki!! Fast and accurate as always. Have a great weekend!
  20. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Has anyone ever come across a need for service decals that get filled in with a permanent marker/sharpie and then get wiped down with a degreaser? Customer mentioned that the writing wipes off after their techs wipe the units (including decals) down with a degreaser...................... go...
