  6. liquid laminate

    I've used clear shield and it made the eco-sol run, never trusted it again. But on the side of why to laminate, I've heard of people run banners through their laminator which makes no sense because it's not a flat surface.

  11. Over spray look in my prints

    It's misaligned. I had a tech realign mine and it worked perfectly again. The only other problem could be bent nozzles.
  12. Problems with single sided laminating: what am I missing?

    Never do it this way, using a secondary paper is a horrible idea.
  13. CET, Gerber, Roland Flatbed Question

    What about used and refurb machine choices? I know everyone is cheering for the new models, but what is a good entry level flatbed 4' X 8' or 5' X 10' in used?

  15. Problems with single sided laminating: what am I missing?

  19. CET, Gerber, Roland Flatbed Question

    Well I was originally looking at spending $85,000 hoping for a 5' X 10' bed, but I can't afford that right now or without the help of an investor. So I am seeking a used model in the $30 - $40k range.
  20. CET, Gerber, Roland Flatbed Question

    I wouldn't give a customer 360 DPI, that is pretty poor quality. My Roland VP-540i does 1440. Yeah I need a true flatbed, I hear it's best to get a gantry system.
