  1. Summa vs Graphtec vs Roland

    We ran a Summa for 15 years. When it finally crapped out we went with Roland. Worst decision ever. We quickly sold it and got another summa. I would go with the tangential blade for small letters. We run a drag version on our 64" Summa but we are not cutting small letters on it.
  2. Which Hybrid ???

    EFI 16H is what we have and its been a great printer. Had it about 1 year. White is very opaque and print speed is good. I would stay away from a pinch roller system as it will give you headaches. Vacuum belt is the way to go. The Roland and Mutoh are not good ways to go for UV printers.
  3. Rant Customer wants to see $1M proof of insurance for $48 banner

    All depends on location. 3'x5' banner stitched with grommets retail is $52.50 for me. That does not include any art. I would love to be able to charge more but I lose a crap ton of bids because people are selling banners at $2.00/sqft (3'x5' for $30.00) out the door.
  4. Printing golf balls ...durability

    UV print will not stay on a golf ball for more than a few holes. Even if you could rotate the ball to where the club head is not hitting it there will still be impact from hitting other objects like cart paths and trees. By the rules your not supposed to rotate your ball in the fairway and...
  5. EFI H1625 LED Question

    We had a 1625 and they use Toshiba heads with a liquid cooling system. I hated that machine and we had a ton of problems with it. EFI took the machine back and we upgraded to the 16H and it has been great.
  6. EFI H1625 White Ink Trailing

    We got rid of the 1625 thankfully. We now run the 16H. My guess without seeing a picture would be the white ink leaving a tail would be a static issue.
  7. The shelves are bare. Where can I get isopropyl alcohol?

    http://www.criticalcleaning.com/products/product?Category=liquid&Item=D005 This is where we get ours. We buy 5 of the 5 gallon containers per order.
  8. How to correctly maintain UV printer?

    We run 3 different UV printer brands here. Both Mimaki's we clean the head surface with a foam swab soaked in their cleaning solution. Both EFI printers we use a lint free cleanign cloth and their cleaning solution. We also run 2 UV printers from Inkcups with the same cleaning. Granted these...
  9. Cutting PETG on Zund

    I would say it more of a ink adhesion issue than a cutting issue. If we are concerned with the lip from a knife blade we will route the pieces with R202 bit
  10. Question Anyone in Texas collecting unemployment?

    In Kansas even a self employed person can receive unemployment as long as you are paying into the unemployment fund.
  11. Creative ways to make money with CNC

    This is a great idea if you can find acrylic. My main supplier is telling me September to get 3/16 and 1/4 back in stock.
  12. Shutting down printers nightly

    I would ask what damage it could cause so that way they know what damages could happen
  13. Shutting down printers nightly

    I would contact EFI and get their response as to what could occur with ai rpressure. I would then share their feedback and let them decide.
  14. Got question about ujf7151 plus any owner here?

    I do not believe the carriage comes off easily on those. We had a Mimaki JFX200 where the carriage did come off. On our two smaller Mimaki (3042 and 6042) the units came as one piece. This might be a better question for Mimaki or the dealer you would purchase through.
  15. Question Does Anyone Make a Printer That Can Sit Idle Without harm?

    A UV printer can clog up as well. There is the whole negative pressure system your relying on. White on UV is even worse.
  16. Pricing

    In our area a wrap is cheap and we got away from doing them. I was at $10/ft installed with 4 hours of design included for flat surface and $12.50-$15.00 for non flat. We were under bid daily. We would only use 3M and had a 3 year warranty. Wraps around here are hard to read and look...
  17. Question Which Laser Should I Buy?

    We run Trotec lasers and have for many years. They are great machines. Currently we have 4 with one being the Fiber/CO2 combo unit.
  18. CUSTOM CUT CORO

    We cut them all the time on our Zund cutter.
  19. Hopping on the Senior train...

    We started with my daughters school and that has turned into doing 15 schools so far with more request in for doing about 20 more schools. We didn't think it would take off like it has.
  20. Anyone here tried chrome wrap films?

    have you looked into KPMF or TeckWrap Vinyl? Not sure if they have the color your looking for. https://teckwrap.com/products/satin-chrome?variant=48798876949
