Graphic Marking Systems has been marketing this product for quite awhile now. I haven't tried it myself but it looks interesting.

We use tons of 651 for small decals and never laminate them. They hold up well for years and I've never seen shrinkage with 651. However, for "permanent" commercial applications we always use high performance vinyl with "real" laminate.
We do allot of personalized high school team decals with...
Just out of curiosity, are there any other MI users out there? It's hard to keep "obsolete" software going when hardware options are quickly disappearing. After using up a half dozen G4's I'm working with a G5 box that seems to be hanging in there.
Been Carbon Copying the original Illustrator...
I once screen printed a dozen or so pieces of 1/2" thick acrylic that were made to be part of an underwater camera case. I used standard enamel screen ink. No hot thinners or anything and in no place was the ink closer to the flame treated edge than 3/4" . Every one of them ended up with cracks...
Thanks everyone. This ended up being one of those jobs that there was not enough information given the first time to provide a successful solution for the customer. The basically wanted on overhead photograph of a ponds that would coincidently fit the actual outlines on they're putt putt...
The Edge material is actually polyester, not vinyl. It prints great on the Edge and I have had allot of customers using it for this very thing.
I do have my doubts about printing it on your eco sol unit however. I tried to print our topcoated 2mil poly on my old HP9000 solvent and only ended up...
I was looking at my informational sheet on the alumagraphics. I'm not sure about the "grainy" texture of the floor version and how it may work for he putt putt. I'll have to get a bit more information from my client.
Bigfish,I'm not sure what G-Floor is. I don't recognize that name.
I have a client looking for the most durable longest lasting floor graphics possible. They would actually be "water hazards" on cruise ship miniature golf courses and some hardware would actually be bolted to the deck through them, hence, the request for permanence. I have jobs installed in a...
I stopped using the 7900 series corogloss 30 years ago. It was a pita to use, smelly, dried in the screen to quickly, even with my semi-auto screen press. I started using NaZdar's 9800 polybanner ink. Great viscosity right out of the can. Prints beautifully and have had 0 failures because of...
I don't think that you'll get anything better than what you are looking at with the Roland. What I see had nothing to do with the stock or passes but the actual picoliter size of the ink drops that the Roland it putting out. It simply cannot "squirt" a smaller ink droplet than what you are...
I've been running Illustrator, Caldera and Graphtec. Even though Caldera has a cut feature I've found that Graphtec's plug in has been more than able to handle anything I've thrown at it from multiple pages of smaller decals which we do thousands of to a 14' Photoshop file complete with bevels...
As Tammie said, these should be paper and Stouse's wholesale cost is less than your production cost on any vinyl. I run thousands of smaller decals on my HP latex and I order from Stouse when the job calls for it. This in indeed a Stouse job.
I bought a roll or 1/2" teflon tape years ago for less than the cost of a replacement strip. The hardest thing to do is cut it down to the 1/4" width. It is teflon after all. I can't remember the supplier but just Google it.
I've been running Graphtec's on my Mac since 1989 when SignPost was the bridge app between Illustrator and the plotter. Graphtec has a free illustrator plug in for many years called CuttingMaster. You cut straight out of Illustrator.
