  1. Epson surecolor S80600 ink dry time? vs Ecosol Max 2

    The Epson inks in the new series offer same day lamination, but previous generation was still I think out-gassed after a few hours, even though they don't say so.. We have the previous generation with white ink (70670 / 70675) and it is "white", I haven't seen anything better off a roll-to-roll...
  2. Templates and vectors

    We purchased a Spike to try out and found that it was always off by a few inches one way or the other, so we didn't trust it and I think we sent it back... not sure, that is the sales dept. ProVehicleOutlines is the way to go for vehicles, but always be wary that it is a 2d representation of a...
  3. Epson gs6000 print heads for fair price

    CompassMicro?
  4. Large application Etch Vinyl

    Our installers are really loving the mactac b-free products instead of the traditional wet-installed 3m for large panels like this.
  5. GA Looking for entry-level CMYK + White Solvent Printer

    I would recommend a used Epson 70670/70675 if you want cheap with white ink. Should be able to pick one up for just a few thousand.
  6. Mimaki JV3160sp

    We just took our Mimaki JV3 160sp out of service here in Kentucky. It is still in great shape with all nozzles firing, still plugged in and running cleaning cycles. It needs to go asap. If you are interested, email me at jason(at)cruxroadboardz(dot)com or call 859-689-4666 and we can tell you...
  7. Need Help Epson surecolor Chrome GS3 ink problem

    I'm thinking it is a media issue. We run a LOT of materials through ours, but we do not do wallpaper. Never seen anything like this since we had a latex and used incorrect materials a couple times.
  8. Latex vs. eco solvent pros and cons???

    The 220 versus a dedicated circuit on 110v is not that much of an issue to me. Either way requires a new circuit to be added to your box and wires/outlets ran. To me the head replacement very often in a high volume shop negates the savings of cleaning chemicals/parts. The constant head...
  9. image sources

    We use provehicleoutlines.com also for our templates. For most imagery we either create the art ourselves or purchase from istock (pricy). unsplash.com has a lot of nice images also for free.
  10. Latex vs. eco solvent pros and cons???

    We have had both here in-house. Both latest generation machines, and even the new solvent/UV hybrids produce around the same end product in very similar time frame. It depends a lot on what you produce as your main product as to what I would recommend. Latex machines run fast, load a bit...
  11. Epson Surecolor S80600 Ink Usage

    That's how we have our 70675 & 70670 set up now. We were previously using the additional orange ink, but after Epson said "sorry" about some fading we had, we changed up our profiles... We have had these printers for a couple years and only very rarely used the white ink and have never used the...
  12. Wholesale Vehicle Wrap Design

    You dont want just any (pardon my language) 3rd-worlder doing your design. I would recommend Creative Circle or an independent designer familiar with the vehicle wrapping process.
  13. Any 60" + printable vinyl/laminate available?

    I think Avery or Oracal made some a while ago that we bought...
  14. Epson Surecolor S80600 Ink Usage

    Just an FYI, I recommend going with the 60600 model. Epson STILL DOES NOT GUARANTEE the other colors... We just installed one last month and love it, it blows away our previous generation Epsons and I thought they were nice. It isn't sucking ink like some older generation solvent printers, in...
  15. Need Help Uneven color Epson S40

    We also USUALLY would not have to worry about color shift in our prints either, but when it DOES happen, you will wish you had been using it. It is really simple to turn on in a RIP and it doesn't hurt anything at all to run the panels like this. We didn't have issues for years with one old...
  16. Need Help JV3 160sp

    It is an 8-ink machine, but should be 2 of each CMYK. Where are you at? We are just now getting ready to list a JV3160sp for sale.
  17. Need Help Uneven color Epson S40

    ALWAYS flip every other tile. On every printer, since the beginning of time.
  18. Question 50 50's how would you make them?

    Laser cut cardboard, then spray paint with a glittery gold metallic.
  19. Exacto Blades Not Sharp Anymore

    Thanks for all the knowledge shared here. We go through a LOT of blades here, but we have a "few" people in production. I think we might give the Havels a try, I love their other products and they're a local company.
