  5. Need Help What Low Odour or No Odour Eco solvent ink?

  7. Painting question new here

    The pull is incredibly strong. Normally these fixtures are used for machining. For painting 1 of 20x20cm fixture could hold anything say to 100x100cm, , 2 fixtures 30x30 cm could hold 100x200cm and so on. Once the exact requirements of the job are known, all could be custom made to...
  8. Painting question new here

    What i would do is simple vacuum fixtures connected together with vacuum lines. The vacuum fixtures smaller than the signs. All can be clocked together to a simple vacuum cleaner or to a commercial vacuum pump. If designed correctly will not cost much and will not be expensive. So basically...
  9. Is there a way to score the liner for decals?

    Nothing can compensate the skill of the person, applying a wrap, cutting or whatever. That video made me laugh. The contraption they sell for cutting the lines when wrapping a car. I can do it faster and better with naked exacto knife. That's what i use. Many years ago when I saw for first...

    Yeah, and later they speak of development. It would be interesting to check the Maqua® Jet DA-E inks.
  15. Water based inks for signage? What happened ?

    Just read some old papers that there was an in called Sepiax around 2010, and it was like or better than latex. Epson DX4 and DX5 printheads. Searched for it on internet and found some old talk that some people in UK were using it and did not cog heads. Cured it at 50-60C, so much lower than...
  16. Question Dust management & Lamination

    I used to work on 2 jobs where at one job i worked alone and used Chinese motorized laminator. I worked alone so it was challenging to laminate rolls of 1m wide. Had to use longer cord for the foot pedal and used a duster, like suggested above, while pedalling . At the same time i was helping...

    I guess when one company goes an event that's happening only once per year in whole Europe/ 2 times actually, different countries/, said company should show its best. Hence its Epson UltraChrome GS3 Inks. I did not look into that at the moment but there were like 8 printers from Epson at the...
