Only issue I've had was with bulk ink unit. If you're is like mine, there's no positive pressure (in the cartridges there's an ink bag with a tiny pressure to overcome atmospheric pressure). To make that work over time you need to raise/lower the bulk tanks to stay above the head levels but only...

For volume print operations, you need at least 3 meter You can run 2 rolls of 54" side by side. Unless the 104" can do that you're only getting the benefit of bigger banners. That seems limiting to me over time. I see a lot of that size used at my broker's website, not moving. The 3 meter...

Sorry Gino. I've worked with duratrans prints for decades. It is a Kodak trademark for large format color film continuous tone photographic positives, produced on RGB laser imagers like Lightjet, Lambda, and such. It's been around for a long time, way before it's digital versions even. Many...

If you're going to grand format then go all in to either 5 meter or at least 3 meter. Reason is that both sizes allow multiple rolls to be printed simultaneously. The 104" format just doesn't do that. The bigger machines are lower cost to run and maintain. Faster But pricier. For a medium...

Oh jeebus.. way more than regular cleaning needed there. Thats an electronics issue, not plumbing. I'd say your head cables are loose, dirty or damaged. Your k head may be saved, but I'm sure your cyan is toast. Problem is that without diligent troubleshooting you can't figure this one out from...

To my knowledge duratrans is a photography film positive graphic from Lightjet printers only for interior light boxes. Check out Cooley fabrics as well as 3M. I've used 3M's Panaflex, Ultraflex and Cooley for grand format backlit. All are very good products. Without a clear coat your life...

I've got a competitor for a national account that imports the chinese stuff, and I use american made. I can be competitive but with a shorter margin.. The question wasnt about the business model, but about whether there's a national preference amongst the tradespeople. The product will be...

Im considering some new material and just wondering the feeling the trades have towards supply chain..

Welcome - want to see how that table comes out - i may have you build a specialty one for a product im working on.

for t shirts look into T-Shirt Printing Equipment - Pantograms.com the oki CMYW machine is waaaay cool.. by far the product that machine makes is incredible. ask for a sample... and you can sub to them for the transfers, and just heat press the shirts. Since your starting out - sub contract...

At that volume the dry time isn't much of an issue, but can be an inconvenience. Latex dries fast, prints look incredible, goes on lots of media, can be laminated immediately, and the machines parts are cheap. But those parts also wear out faster as volume climbs, there's specific maintenance...

My take on your take.. you're wanting to buy some equipment and do side work. Every sign guy I've known has done that, and many shops started that way. But somewhere along that path it becomes full time. Why work a week for $600 when you can do that in a day. So then you're a business owner...

There's a business logic to what your company did. It's called self commissary, and it's a type of 1980's management that is based on saving every little bit no matter the cost. It often hurts a small business somewhere that was supplying those products your firm went in house on. Somewhere a...

I'd look at the consumables associated with printer maintenance for the first three years. Request a list from each vendor to compare. The two machines have different maintenance schedules and parts. My initial thought is that HP will be costlier in parts over time, and youre completely tied to...

Those metal bits are the trim around the head. If you had that kind of damage your heads are totalled. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
