  1. Flamed edge or polished on Acrylic

    60 tooth won't do it. You need a finer blade if you are gonna attempt in-house. I just posted this in another thread related to same topic: International Display Systems here in Charlotte. Ask for Mike or Scott. They will laser cut it and problem solved. http://idsacr.com/...
  2. new rastek tf1000 having problems.... any help would be great

    Whats your temperature and humidity directly around the printer? That looks like a static issue.

    All the decal guys around here - and this is NASCAR central - usually do their own measuring and templates and keep them as closely guarded secrets.

  5. Display Acrylic Needed

    First off... rotate your photos to the correct orientation before posting. You want flame polished edges, so you need someone who knows plastics. Any vendor listed before - including Pitman - can get you acrylic. Some, like Grimco and Piedmont Plastics will cut them to size for you with the...
  6. Wide format printer... opinions?

    If you don't want to laminate - why not just get a UV-curable printer. The bulk of my business is high-end trade show and retail displays. I very rarely use my laminator. My 6x10 flatbed was in your price range.
  7. Humidity % for Printing?

    Last season's show special was $1,000. I know it seems high, but you hae to think in terms of how much you are saving in materials, ink and wasted time by having the correct environment to print in. Would need a small direct water connection for continual source and depending upon where you...
  8. Humidity % for Printing?

    I just use two of the large ones you can buy from Lowe's or Home Depot. Made by EssickAir. Want to upgrade to a driect line whole room humidifier from: http://www.airandwatersystems.com/ They do alot of the regional offset commercial print companies around here, but they have a smaller unit...
  9. Humidity % for Printing?

    Your printer manual should have Ambient Temperature specifications in the back with all the other Technical Specs. Most aqueous printers range between 50 - 75% as acceptable range. Really makes a difference with small droplet UV-curable devices, though. Small humidifier won't cut it. We have...
  10. buying a new flatbed

    We are going to ISA to look at a new cutter/router and either a second flatbed or a faster/larger one that can deliver same quality but higher speeds. Our sales were up 400% from 12/10 to 12/11. Its not about the machines, its about separating yourself from the competition in total services...
  11. Here we go again.. The true test for the LX850 year 2 .

    I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no latex... so how difficult is it to change heads and re-register them? Once changed, do you have to re-linearize or recalibrate for color fidelity?
  12. Here we go again.. The true test for the LX850 year 2 .

    12 liters per color sure seems like a low number to require replacement.
  13. To pay commission or not...?

    Offer to put him on your payroll as a 1099 contractor and see if his story changes when he realizes he has to pay taxes on the "commission".

  15. buying a new flatbed

    If you are in Atlanta - drive down and see the CET models in action for what you would spend for a GS Vutek - you could get 2 CET printers - depends on your needs, though.

  18. What is your black?

    Depends on your inkset and your max density desired. If you print too rich of a black with alot of flatbeds - you will get a thermographic feel to the ink. Some inks print grays cleaner than others. Mine tend to lean to the yellow side, so i use 50, 40, 20, 100 for my blacks. Debating...
