Pat, can't you do that with density control I think? I might be wrong, but I think with using density control, it will only use K for the blacks. Doesn't look good when printing color with them, but if you needed a black image, you wouldn't burn through as much color. Haven't really tried it...

Thats not the mode, thats the color cartridges you have. It you had a 6 color machine, it would say CMYKLcLm. I think that is what you are getting at.

I hear about 3 years with the laminate of course

Got ours in, been printing on it for about a month. I LOVE this machine. It is faster than our 540, and the quality is much better. Both of my machines are profiled and print beautifully, but the dot size on the 640 is just much better and the prints turn out great. We got our metallic ink...

I would definitely do a piece that size in a single piece. What type of vinyl you using? A hinge method would work fine for that. Biggest tip on the roller pro I can give is just make sure you do not collapse the channel for the air. If you see a bubble starting to form, just stop...

I've wrapped about a dozen or so. If it is complete change including going down inside where your feet go, I'm at about 2050. With out going all in there 1500 is pretty much where I'm at to. Those prices are also not for solid colors, solid color would be much more simple on them, takes us...

Thanks, that's good to know. We do a good amount of wall graphics. We've used the koro and general formulations self adhesive wall polyester. But scratching has always been the issue. Artbot, you just cut it into sheets and let it roll, I know you don't leave the seams overlapped, but the...

I'm not dogging anyone, including Adam. We work in the same areas, no reason to hurt business relationships. There always comes a time when other shops in your area can help you out.

Also speaking of wall paper, is the uv ink on the cet as prone to rubbing off when cleaning? I'm assuming your using a cloth style wallpaper that does not get laminated

Good to know. Thanks

I see what you are saying, that could be real frustrating. At the current moment, we only run 5-10 banners a month over 60". So it would be used very minimal on that aspect. But it really only happens on full width material? So if you ran smaller Banners through there, say 60" it lays flat...

Thanks insignia, I was hoping someone with a hybrid would post, hearing real world answers is always good. So basically the smileys you refer to are where the head drags the material on the edges?

No hijacking issue here Pat!! I'm in the same boat, just wanting to make sure I purchase the best machine for our use, and looking at all they have to offer!! Even the older 500qe is a possibility, and at 80k with white ink, that looks very reasonable

I know the head height difference. That really wasn't to big of a concern of ours. But I do understand about the belt system not holding down as much, like even if you have a piece of warped mdo. We don't have experience with either, but like you said I would imagine flatbeds would suck more...

We sure do!

We are just finishing up the design, and fixing the red eyes.

Yea, we are wrapping his truck with the pattern shortly.

We are really hopefully getting closer to purchasing a new UV printer, and have pretty much decided on CET. Now the biggest question is which one! I can see the advantages of each, but I know it seems that more people have a true flatbed over the hybrids. It sounds really tempting though for...

It was many stock art images purchased and put together that way.

We did it.
