We have been doing enough larger prints lately (70"-126" wide) so we now have a few wide rolls of different media around the shop and no adequate way of storing them. Wall space is a bit of an issue, but we could make room on the wall if that's the best option. I've seen the BullRack XXL, but...
I've been running latex for a long time starting with the l25500. When I sold my shop and came on here at this shop they had a mimaki latex.
It. Was. Garbage.
You could eventually get OK quality, but it wouldn't stay consistent and the speed suffered greatly! 40pass! We had one job to print a...
We had one (they bought it before I got here). Got rid of it as soon as I could! I was under the impression mimaki was pulling these from the field anyway...maybe I'm wrong.
Just to throw my opinion out there. We have CET 126" hybrid and I freaking love it. We don't have the white ink, but I know it's an option. We just run cmyk, but you can run cmyk lc lm white and i believe a varnish/clear. We mostly run styrene faced foam boards, coro, acm, and roll materials...
Still no issues here with the mosaic inks. We have the Ricoh heads. We print mon-fri, sometimes saturdays, roughly 4-5 hours a day. No clogging or anything. We run straight CMYK, no white, no light colors. No adhesion issues that I've seen. The only real issues we've had with the printer is the...
Lots of "this happened to me so it's true for everyone" opinions in here. I'll just give you my experience and opinion.
Before switching to latex I ran a couple mimakis.
Had an l25500 for about 7 years, just recently sold it for $2500. We currently have a 360 for our dedicated roll printer, and...
We use HP Premium Poster Paper. I like the flat finish. I feel like it gives us a better print than gloss does. And before we got rid of our L25500 it was the only paper we could find that would run well through it, the 360 and our UV printer. We get it from Grimco but I believe Lexjet sells it...
They're not a wholesale only company, but EH Teasley is who we use if we can't get it on our printers. ehteasley.com
Super nice people.
(Funny story, we actually took in a new customer a few years ago and had some fabric pole banners to produce for them. We use EH Teasley for our sewing, so we...
We use a small company that's local to us, but they work pretty fast and shipping shouldn't be too big of a deal. They're called Dimensional Letters and Logos. dllsigns.com
I'm asking out of 100% pure curiosity as we don't do signage like that, but could someone post a picture of a "push-through" sign? I just want to see what it looks like compared to the other types described in this thread. :thumb:
I've been running canvases on the L25500 for about 6+ years now with very little issue, and now we run quite a bit of them on our 360. No coating, just print, stretch, bill 'em. If prints are scratching off, that's a profile/heat issue. If you're using canned profiles, that's what's going to happen.
I have a client asking for some fairly large posters (64"x80" etc) and I'm coming up blank on wider poster paper. I know Sihl has a couple that are 63" and one that is 64" but it's glossy and I need it to be an uncoated paper stock. Anyone know where I might look for wider poster paper?
