  1. Need Help Registration Marks Not Recognized Graphtec Fc-8000

    A few things to try.... first look to see if there is any type of debris or dirt on the sensor eye. I have also found that if you use an additional light source it will read it (I will just use the flashlight on my phone). You can also change the sensor levels on the machine as well try this...
  2. Plasticizers And The L560

    Just got my 570's installed... the new condenser motor is pretty loud. Most of the materials have been ok going through but the biggest issue I've had so far has been 3M's new 7930 it's supposed to replace the 3290 which sucks but that's a different conversation. It's very stiff and doesn't...
  3. Question Roland Truevis Or Versacamm?

    If your looking for something that big why not go latex? No more venting, no more waiting for inks to dry, more material selection.
  4. 3m 220 Vinyl And Wet Application

    Could it be that there is a small amount of liquid trapped between the edge of the vinyl and the premask? When you removed the premask it created a vacuum that could have sucked the liquid in? No idea if this is what happened to you, but I've seen this happen when doing windows with frosted...
  5. Wrapping A Swimming Pool

    I don't think so. Just make sure you heat/roll the crap out of it. It should take on the same texture as the wall. We used 3M material and vinyl.
  6. Wrapping A Swimming Pool

    If the outside is concrete that has been painted, why not remove the paint and use a concrete wall wrap material?
  7. Looking To Add A Printer

    DJr, You misspelled 'none'. It should be spelled 'HP Latex 300 or 500 series'
  8. Hp Latex 370, Double Sided Prints

    I'm not sure about the 370 but I know that the 570 has a camera on the bottom that looks for a registration mark. When loading the material I think that it's an option on the printer menu.
  9. New To Signs And Buying A Used Printer Warning 10,000 Questions Coming Soon!

    Rachel, Congratulation on expanding your business. I hope you guys succeed. My first printer was a used mimaki JV3 160s with a bulk ink system, I too had no idea were to start and was thrown in to the fray when my boss bought it and told me to lean how t use it. From my experience with those...
  10. Looking To Add A Printer

    Just got my HP 570 delivered and set up yesterday.....while I'm still playing with it and figuring out the new work flow it's a beast of a machine and has already allowed us to change somethings to increase efficiency literally right out of the box. The latex machines offer scale-able solutions...

    Will have my boss reach out to you. We have 2 rolls.
  12. Buying New Printer And Cutter

    I agree with everyone here. If you can afford it get separate machines, workflow wise it just makes it easier and long term it will allow you to expand you business. As far a printers go... I really would take another look at Latex, I know that your local distributor might not sell them but...
  13. Plasticizers And The L560

    For that matter why not make it a thing for every printer or create some type of semi-universal aftermarket attachment system for most of the printer out there and sell it.
  14. HP L560

    So from what I understand the new curing units on the 500 series operate more like a convection oven rather than a typical heating/curing units. The units are better sealed which allows them to retain the heat better, this also allows hot air to flow over the substrate which means same effect...
  15. Plasticizers And The L560

    It's basically just a foam covered bar. When the foam starts to get shabby replace it. So it probably depends on the type of material your running over it and how much. I think that their pretty cheap as well, $100 for a 4 pack or something like that.
  16. What Is Youw Vinyl Removal Process

    Heat gun to remove the material , rapid remover to remove the adhesive and time.... we charge full book for removal $95 an hour no estimates or time line... it takes as long as it takes.
  17. Looking For A Something Other Than Typical White Cut Vinyl

    There is chrome.....brushed metals, copper, gold, carbon fiber, you could print a subtle design, and cut it out, it also might depend on the color scheme.
  18. Boat Wrap Suggestions

    Do have pics of the boat and where the graphics are going?
  19. Anyone Have A Source For 3d Printing?

    I'm a huge additive manufacturing fan and would really like to see how this turns out. I'm not sure however if 3D printing is going to be the way to go. Most 3D printers are using plastic or gypsum and it being a grill means it might take a beating not sure how it would hold up. You can try...
