For the niche stuff, I have had great luck/quality with New Print Factory!

What material and thickness did you use in those videos?

Does you white ink wash right off like others have had issues with?

That was my mixup. I was thinking he was talking about the solvent Mimaki printers, forgetting the (2) printers he was comparing on here. I have an LED UV printer as well.

I am pretty sure the Mimaki would use very similar pre, print and post heaters that the Epson's do.

I am LOVING the Hexis VCR750 laminates!! They are designed for sticking to UV prints with a more aggressive adhesive. Give Liz at Platinum Sign Supply a call!

• Under the Channel Tab - Create New Spot Channel - Name it White. I have my opacity set to 50%. That ONLY determines how it displays on the screen. • With that channel selected, create a selection of where you want the gradient to be. • With the gradient tool, set to black/white for colors...

In Photoshop, you have to set it up as a spot channel. I have done this several times and it works good. On the Caldera usernet, they have a pdf guide on doing this. It would be way easier to follow than me trying to explain it. haha

I have white in my Epson S70. It works well enough for doing decals on clear vinyl. It's not super opaque, that's for sure. I do have a few jobs that I consistently use for and don't have any complaints. I have silver in my S80, but have heard the white is a little better in the new ones.

Sew all (4) sides.

Summa is all I will use. I did the 54" version, but added (2) extra pinch rollers. I HIGHLY recommend doing that. Helps keep the media flatter and tracks better in my opinion.

$1k doesn't include the plasma. I built one with all of the options and it came to like $2100. Still not bad. The better plasma cutter I chose said it could do 1/2" material!

I have a cheaper one I would sell. Not sure what brand it was, but uses #2 grommets.

I am looking at one of these too right now, for a lot of the same reasons. Everyone I have talked to absolutely loves it and said they have no complaints about the accuracy.

Depends if you have a job you use it a fair amount for. I have a couple that makes it worth having in my epson. ;)

When I do mine, setup in Illy, I have the white layer on top and make sure to set overprint fill, then I actually will do a negative path offset of a very small amount. Then if it is off slightly, it still doesn't show. ;)

Are there any details out on the new Mutoh flatbed yet? I can't find anything

I prefer Hexis HX200. Works the same, very low initial tack (like a wrap film). I have had way better luck with it.

Hexis has an awesome laminate that has worked great for me. It has a more aggressive adhesive that sticks to the UV inks better. (VCR750 better version, VCR650 cheaper version)It has worked great with my Fuji anyways.

I was told to take strips of vinyl, remove the backing and use the adhesive to clean off the lower roller. Turn the cutter off first and I do one spot at a time. Lower the roller with one upper and lower making contact and slowly pull the vinyl back and forth. I use scraps that were laminated as...
