  1. printing on styrene

    I disagree about the image not being fine. We were printing table tents, cooler tags and shelf talkers for a local liquor distributor, scoring them on our Summa (roller table front and back), then peel them out of the styrene . Full color, some with photos and you could scrutinize them. They...
  2. printing on styrene

    Straight styrene. Print grade however, I was paying around $12 a sheet for 50x100.
  3. printing on styrene

    I've printed .020 sheets on mine with head set to high, I would think there's enough clearance to run .030, but I would feed from a table and out to another table. I used Onyx with Oracal 3651 profile uni, heat set at 37 pre 34 print and 34 post. Image quality is pretty darn good. Be aware that...
  4. Best Epson/Wide format distributor?

    I bought both my Epsons and my HP from Lexjet. Pretty good experience and service.
  5. **glow in the dark vinyl**

    54'x 150' Glo Brite #7630 Safety Grade Photoluminescent Film. Made by a company called Jessup in northern IL. I was quoted $1000 per roll for a 20 roll order thru Midwest Sign and Screen. Didn't get the project, but did get a sample roll to try. Prints just like vinyl, has a yellow/green cast...
  6. Canvas Prints Stretched on to Frame

    Lexjet has a stretcher bar set that we've used for a few. I was pretty pleased with the results. http://www.lexjet.com/i-16096-LexJet-Sunset-HD-Pro-Stretcher-Kit-175-in-x-125-in-16x24-SSHDP1624K.aspx
  7. Windows......................

    Mounted on the inside with 1" Pano Tape. Tape is permanent on the graphic side, removable on the window side.
  8. Windows......................

    Pano Film from fellers works really well. Film is 80/20, so it's a nice saturated print. Here's a window we did for a restaurant down town. There's a lot of glare in the photo, it looks better in person.
  9. NAS For Small Business

    WildWest, I suppose it could be the router, do you mind me asking which hub your using? Im running a D-Link DIR-655.
  10. First CNC router purchase....what to look for in all of these options!

    It's not a 5x10, but here's the one I've been looking at. http://www.camaster.com/product/stinger-iii/ Routing way to much wood on the Colex.
  11. NAS For Small Business

    I went with a Qnap TS-469-Pro and loaded it with (4) WD 4 TB drives. Gives me 12 TB addressable in a raid array. Just using it as a file server at the moment, but it's pre loaded to be used as a web server, ftp server, security camera recorder, etc. It's a pretty good system, the server itself...
  12. Primed MDO - Edge to Edge Graphics

    I stock a few sheets of 2 sided UV coated MDO, but I've had to use primed in a pinch. I sealed the edges and brushed about a 1" perimeter with spar urethane. Applied the graphics, trimmed the print and put 2 coats of acrylic enamel around the outside edge, overlapping onto the graphic maybe an...
  13. yard signs on my property

    We had a similar issue with a business down the street. They put a 2x3 framed sign in front of our business directing traffic to their location (they're a candy company if it matters). Actually, they had 3 or 4 signs placed through out the business park. I stopped by one day to talk to the...
  14. Onyx Postershop 7.3

    I have a copy of Onyx Postershop V7.3 that I no longer need. Box, manual, CDs and dongle. $1000 / OBO PM me if interested. Thanks, Don
  15. Seiko M-64

    I have the W64, great machine. Did a demo with the M64, really nice. Twice as fast as my w64 with less odor and a built in ionizer for styrene printing. I would love to have one, but the timing is all wrong. Price is around $40K. Midwest was offering an early adopters package which knocks...
  16. Faux cast bronze plaques

    http://atlassignsandplaques.com This is my neighbor. Her website shows stock items, but she'll do custom work, just give her a call. It's metal coated HDU.
  17. Where to buy satin black 1080 by the yard?

    Midwest Sign and Screen will sell by the yard. Not sure if there's one in your area though.
  18. HP 9000 is dying. Do we replace with HP latex or Epson EcoSolvent?

    +1 for Seiko. I don't think you can find a longer lasting outdoor ink, a pretty big deal in your location. You've been dealing with the HP9000, so your already use to the the inks, pretty much the same pigment load and chemistry. A W64 is faster than your 9000, in the $20K range and simple to...
  19. Tabletop Decals

    We do a ton of these for the Liquor distributors. Temporary (1 to 6 months) Oracal 3165 RA, Intermediate (6 months to 1 year) Oracal 3165 RA with 210 Gloss over lam. If the client wants a non gloss finish, I like Lexjet's Performance Textured Polypropylene. Extended (1 to 3 years or longer)...
