I did not say the Mimaki doesn’t cut accurately, but it also doesn’t have the abilities that a standalone cutter has. The best thing about speed is the ability to be done sooner. For some people, that means getting more jobs done in he same amount of time. For others, it means being done earlier...

You can get the same high quality images coupled with quick drying when using the Epson s series. You can laminate almost immediately off the printer and install is still a breeze. The speed is also amazing. For the OP, the benefits of a separate cutter far outweighs the space savings of an...

These machines have 3 PSU. It’s really a single phase machine that they have setup in 3 phase typically so that you can run smaller wire to it. Check all 3 supplies and know that even if the heater units and such aren’t heating up, the power supplies are sending power to them....don’t ask me how...

I have installed banners like this before. I start at the middle and tightly mount each grommet, stretching it as far as I could. Do the top first working out from the middle. Then start at the middle bottom and work outward, pulling down and out. When you get to the end, start at the middle...

still looking for a printing setup?I’m a wholesale trade printer who got this, used it very little then the digital printing part of my business took off. I have a compete Vastex setup with lots of screens, inks, washout, dip tank, drying cabinet, 6 color/6 station press, conveyer fryer, flash...

You should probably start shopping. I had the same printer and the heads dropping out were the most annoying thing with them (as well as the cost of consumables) it’s definitely more expensive to operate a latex than it is a solvent or even a UV printer. Several of the manufacturers are starting...

I have this type of problem sometimes on my HP flatbed UV printer. When I have this problem, it is on static prone material (a much bigger problem during the low humidity winter than summer) and I have my build incorrect on the black. If my profile is spraying too much ink to make black or dark...

Definitely no need to laminate those but if you are doing solvent prints, don’t stack them on each other face to face. It takes a few days for them to be able to touch without pulling ink off of one another. If there are any graphics on the panels already, the clear adhesive won’t block them...

I see a lot of people saying not to use UV ink on a wrap, and that is generally the case, but now Mimaki and 3m partnered up to develop ink for wrapping. The LUS-200 ink for the Mimaki UCJV300 is certified by both 3m and Avery with their wrap materials for wrapping vehicles. The ink has 200%...

I bought Cyrious back in 2014 and bought the stand alone version. The problem with the stand alone is that you pay out a ton of money for a version that doesn’t get updated. I have the lowest package still which has unlimited quotes but is limited to 100 invoices per month. It was $2145 at that...

I received emails about price hikes coming Last year a few times. I saw two price jumps on the same product last year as a result of the tariffs with China. What’s interesting is that we sell the majority of our recycled aluminum to China, then they process it and remanufacture it and sell it...

What model printer is it? Most of these printers have transport procedures for this type of thing. I definitely would not leave the carriage “parked.” There is a good chance of damage if you don’t lock it down. See if you can get a copy of the service manual.

I said almost 2 hours. It’s 18x24 signs running 3 wide on outdoor mode which is very good on coro. If you don’t have it kick the sign back to you for flipping and just run them straight through, I can get 3 signs double sided in under 2 hours. It takes 1 minute and 43 seconds for me to print the...

I have the FB500 and I bought it back in April for wholesale printing coro signs, foam board, pvc and other stuff. I also use it a lot for banners because even though I prefer the print quality of my solvent and latex printers, a banner doesn’t have to be photo quality so it’s unbelievably...

I agree with the other guys. I hate all of these and would not buy a product with these labels. Guess he is only popular in Long Island because of lack of competition and he will never get bigger than Long Island because no one is going to pick this product when there is a better looking product...

I have a client who runs a carpet cleaning company and they asked me a few years ago to produce a label with their logo that is 2”x4” to put on all their equipment that would not be easy to remove. Knowing that some of their equipment is plastic, possibly low surface energy, I produced them with...

I love the SLX. It does have a very low initial tack but once it has been on there a few hours, it really bonds well. Just did a 2018 F-150 rear bumper and tailgate and it worked very well, conforming and staying IMG in place. Since I don’t do more that 1 or 2 wraps every few weeks I’m slow at...

I also run a lot of concept 250 wallfrog for the shops I print for. I had a sample on my own wall for 4 years and peeled it right off. Put it on some backing paper when I moved and right back up on another wall and it looks like new now after almost 2 more years.

I am bidding on an interior wall at a hospital for their history display. The architect has spec’d glass wall panels on standoffs, corners only except for the largest panels. Panels include 2-4’x9’h, 5-4’x3’6” and 5-4’x3’. The design has the two tall panels on the ends with a row of 55” touch...
