  1. Summa T160 - OPOS-Cam or OPOS-X

    We've both and I'd say definitely go for the camera. It readers much faster and more reliably. The only drawback is it won't work over ethernet, USB only.
  2. PVC free adhesive films

    The work is for our biggest bank and they are desperate for some positive press after a royal commission uncovered gross misconduct. Every job is inspected and defects issued for the slightest imperfection. If we were found to be falsifying materials used there would be all sorts of penalties as...
  3. PVC free adhesive films

    Thanks. I know of 3M 480CV3.
  4. PVC free adhesive films

    I knew this was coming. With all the recent talk of climate change large companies are going to want to display their eco friendly intentions. A fair percentage of our work is wall graphics and window markings for a major bank. We've just had a request for "Compliance demonstrated via BEP PVC...
  5. Concern...

    Thanks. We've had fires before but not like this.
  6. Question Vinyl type question

    Um no. You can't.
  7. Interesting dilemma

    Agree with Hulk. But when a client says a colour must match a Pantone I say look it will be pretty close in CMYK. If you want us to match closer and send a proof it will be $50. Not many are critical enough to spend the time or money.
  8. i1 Pro v HP 365 on board

    What rip are you using? With Onyx you can either select a Pantone colour or scan a sample, then print a swatch with variations of that colour and pick the closest match.
  9. All I want for Christmas.....

    Mate that is cheap compared to a divorce.
  10. Hi there

    Ciao. What printer did you buy?
  11. Is there an environmentally friendly vinyl for printing and die cutting out there?

    I think there are now others but 3M 480CV3 is marketed as a greener alternative to pvc film.
  12. Market Competition for Latex equipment

    The problem with HP is they are great at marketing but haven't done anything to fix inherent issues with their machines. Roll fed UV printers have the potential to knock latex off it's perch because they can offer colour repeatability, faster speeds, low heat curing and consistent length.
  13. Looks like Sports Illustrated has started doing their own graphics to save a buck

    Haha all Gino's signs look like that.
  14. Help with new printer purchase

    Latex machines are great for certain applications. We bought an Epson to print wall coverings and wraps due to the limitations of latex. We've since sold the 360s and have a Colorado which seems far better than either eco sol or latex. Latex are great for quick turnaround jobs especially...
  15. Help with new printer purchase

    I wouldn't buy an HP latex. Those things never print the same colour twice and panel lengths never match.
  16. New Product Researching solvent printers for our canvas printing business.

    A latex would be perfect for art canvases. We did the occasional canvas with our 360s and the print quality, gamut and scratch resistance were perfectly acceptable.
  17. XY Cutter

    Not yet but if we start doing a heap more roll media with the new printer it will keep the Zund free for higher margin work.
  18. XY Cutter

    A fotoba is quicker and cheaper than a flatbed if you're only trimming roll stock.
  19. Question What Printer would you stake your business on?

    I certainly hope so but only time will tell.
  20. Question What Printer would you stake your business on?

    We got our 1650 last week and ran 4 rolls through it the first day. I haven't really tested what speeds it can be run at on various media yet so just used quality which is still way quicker than the 360s it replaced. There are lots of good quality downloadable profiles online so no need to...
