The MFG's measure the linear footage by weight when they convert rolls.
Ex. A 100 yard roll of 54 x 100 weighs 182 lbs (not accurate # just for discussion).
I have come across this issue many times when running full rolls. Some are longer than they should be and some are shorter. It is all...
To bad they name all the new machines HP/Scitex.
Scitex Vision machines are production tanks developed and MFG. in Israel. These price point machines/all the new flatbeds and latex machines should not have the "Scitex" badge.
This is all false expectations based on marketing. Anything not...
Sure that machine may be cheaper but probably going to cost you a hell of a lot more $ in the long run.
One thing I have learned is always buy more machine than you need even if it seems unrealistic financially. We have learned this the lesson a couple times...
Started with 1st flatbed venture...
We have a Mimaki CG160FX and it is horrible. I hate any and all Mimaki solutions and will never buy a product from them again...
Thanks for all the input.. I bought the Summa 63" as many have suggested.
Just needed a good machine for single color cad cut vinyl...
Thanks to all for the 2...
We are in need of a new Vinyl cutter. Our Mimaki plotter has seen better days and I refuse to tie up our Zund to cut vinyl.
If you could choose any plotter 54"-60" + (budget is no issue) What machine would it be..
We are looking for reliable, fast and easy to use. This will be just for cut...
I have brought in many containers of vinyl from both China and Korea. No way you can pack a container properly with anything other than Sono Tubes. The media is not pre skidded it is bulk packed (Crammed in) the container.
If you are bringing in several different widths and lengths of media...
I know it was introduced by Vutek as a price point machine I think it is $185K with white.
We have a 2007 Gandi Jeti (now Agfa) 3150 UV for sale for $105K. It is in Mint condition...
Zoo Signs is a very very legit wrap outfit based in FL.... They have been in the game for a long time and though I regard them as direct competition, Todd (whom i do not know) have there shit locked down and know whats up...
No need to hate on the "opinions" based on the Zoo posts. They have...
just be happy we don't choose to target your area. :) Yet.
Why on earth would a somewhat respected national company like Lowen even feel the need to make such a silly idle threat???
It will not work well on your Press VU. The lamps heat and platen heat will buckle and wrinkle the PSA a few linear feet into the print. Head strike hell and major step issues....
Flexcon Busmark 5800 is the way to go...
Here is the emblem trick...
Take some fishing line hold it like dental floss . Put it behind emblem then go from side to side like you were sawing off with fishing line. If they are stubborn hit it with a little heat.. It will cut right thought foam adhesive and get emblem off in one piece...
We have purchased many raw materials from both China and Korea. Here is my advice. This is also based on experience and not opinion...
If you are looking on a web forum for direction on sourcing abroad you really should not even think about that kind of business direction...
First you need...
Just for the record the HP XL 300 ink was great for us on our XLjet machines but as they came off of lease and we owned them we cancelled all service contracts and switched to Sericol. Our XL jets ran perfect for 3 and 4 years using HP XL300 ink.
Moving to Sericol will save us about $100K over...
