Just got one installed last week. I know there have been some threads on it so if anyone has questions, I'd be happy to try to answer or run some prints.
My intention is to use this to print wall wraps on IJ180 and a lot of Window Perf on it.
So far, I've learned you can't really print...
I can't speak for the Truevis but the RF has been a workhorse for us since we got it. Probably takes the same ink as what you have now also so no need to stock 2 different ink types. It's dual cmyk so if you need that additional color gamut, it doesn't ahve that.
I had an issue with print and cut decals with my graphtec 8600 for a while. Turns out it had to do with crop marks that were set in onyx in my quickset. Not sure what rip you're using but I would check some of the silly things before pursuing a hardware or sensor issue.
I need to move because there is not a snowball's chance in hell that a 53' goes for 15k in NY. If using a film laminated cast film, you can get about 8500-9500 for it plus art. You'll pay out about 2000 in labor and material, print, and finishing should cost you about 2500-3000 if you're doing...
I had a bunch of samples done with solid greys which are always a nightmare. I also printed some images. Most of the work I plan on putting on there is wall and floor graphics. Also wrapping furniture for events. No stretching but bending around 90 degree corners. The end result was that I...
I've done a lot of research on roll to roll UV printers. I ultimately went with the Mutoh 1638UR and have been happy overall with it. I do wish I waited as Mimaki has now introduced a clear varnish for their unit. The Mimaki is probably the way to go at this point since it has the integrated...
We do a lot of event work. Sometimes getting art night before the event. I give quote based on certain deadlines they have to follow. Once they pass that, they know extra guys will be needed and costs increase. I've never let a client down. I had a job recently where we installed 4300ft of...
I'll be there this year. Not much of a show but I have a good relationship with some vendors that will be there so I'm sure there will be some dinners and drinks that are worth the trip.
I didn't have a chance to read other responses but we stopped using any calendared films on walls completely. For sheetrock painted walls we use IJ180cv3 with 8520 matte lamination and have had zero issues. Also, we use oracal 1.5" banner tape at the top of all walls just as a little...
I supposedly have a demo unit being placed in my shop soon. This machine will be used primarily for wall and floor wraps so the stretchability isn't an issue. I did hear that a flexible ink should be out soon and you can convert current ink setups. I will be signing a contract for the machine...
I'm looking for help in finding a suitable material. I do a lot of event work and mount clear film printed with white UV ink onto mirrors. There are a few things I'm looking for below. Please let me know if you have any experience with these films.
must haves
1. optically clear
2. UV...
Friend of mine has a xr-640. Never uses it but wants to get it fixed. He needs a new print head. Anywhere to get something aftermarket? He doesn't use it enough to warrant factory pricing.
first off, make sure your boards are actually 48x96. Many boards show up a 1/4" over. Next, let us know what type of rip is running your printer. Probably easy enough to do in the rip. Less than a minute of work.
I agree with what everyone else is saying also. The only way I would differ...
We use about 10-15 rolls a month. Mostly box trucks and cargo vans. Stuff we don't have to worry about removing. We had used it on some temp wraps and removal was a nightmare. Installers have been loving it. It's also not good for recessed window areas like a sprinter or transit.
