  1. Agfa M2 Vs. Oce Arizona GT350

    Agfa M4 is a 4/C 4 head machine, 512 nozzles per head. M is a 6/C 6 head machine, 512 nozzles per head. M2 is a 6/C 6 head machine, 1024 nozzles per head. I've been getting samples and specs off of a bunch of different machines. IMO, the Oce 350/Fuji Acuity models have the best print quality...
  2. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    Actually the first time the belt went our tech had brought along a new belt tensioner sent to him by Epson. Pretty fancy digital doo-dad. I think the tension has been fine. When a belt gets replaced it looks like it tracks pretty straight. By the time I start hearing the tell tale noise...
  3. Looking for vendor

    We do these all the time. Print onto .020 or .030 opaque white styrene. Large volume I sub out UV, small volume we run through our GS6000 and score cut on a Graphtec FC7000. You don't have to cut very deep, styrene will strip out easily. I know you have a source for the springs, but we buy...
  4. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    That's why I thought it odd that our tech said this was an ongoing problem. I've been searching the forums and haven't found a peep about it. I talked to him shortly after my first post and he's bringing a new drive gear along with the belt. I sure hope this solves it. Not a huge problem...
  5. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    Installed a GS6000 last Nov and overall it's been a great machine. I'm not crazy about how it prints backlits (low density black ink), but that's another story. I have a tech coming in tomorrow to replace the reduction belt, this will be the fourth belt since installation. 6 weeks after...
  6. How long have you been in the Sign Business?

    25 years in printing, the last 15 in POP and Displays.
  7. IJ-35c Sticking Problem

    laminate would help.

    How's the machine running?

    Hi Wildhock, Sorry for the late reply, I guess I should check my PMs more often. I'm in Lake Mills, just about half way between Madison and Milwaukee on I94.
  10. UV adhesion

    Thanks for all the responses! Those of you that are having good results with acrylic, how did you test adhesion? Cross hatch with tape test, thumb nail, etc. Thanks, Donny
  11. UV adhesion

    Ok flatbed owners. I see a bit of discussion on adhesion to coroplast, I'm interested in what kind of adhesion your getting on Acrylic. I'm going to ISA far a hard look at a few machines I've gotten sample printed on. Hopefully I'll be able to make a final decision on which machine to go...
  12. GS6000 Users

    Are you relying on the RIP to dial in your media types or are you creating paper setting on the machine. Just curious.
  13. GS6000 Tracking

    Make sure your locking the supply core supports good and tight. If your not tightening it down, the roll can wander. There's also a tensioner on the side of each support (silver thing with 2 phillips screws), try engaging them if you haven't already. I've found this helps keep the material...
  14. what would cause this type of banding on an sp-300v?

    Having almost the exact same type of banding on my GS6000. Can only see it with a flashlight or with reflection running 8 pass 720x720 or 720x1440, pretty much disappears with lamination. Sticks out like a sore thumb on 6 pass 540x720 or 720x720, still very visable with lamination...
  15. Material Choice

    We discussed the soft sign option, but they want something semi permanent. I would be supplying number kits as well that would hang on hooks. Here's a pic. The kits will bade out of routed 3mm Blue sintra and cast vinyl. I didn't realize that 1/2 sintra is prone to warping, maybe painted...
  16. Material Choice

    Hello All, I'm donating some new score boards to our local youth baseball program. 3 4'x8' boards for 3 diamonds. Old ones were hand painted plywood and are falling apart, not sure how long they were up, but I was told a guestimate of 9 years. I was thinking about using 1/2" Blue...
  17. Black to Red fade looks Black to Orange

    Not sure what program your creating in, but here's something to try. I use Illustrator on a Mac. Add the solid red to the black side of the gradient. So one side should be say 100m and 100y and the other side 100m, 100y and 100k. Or, make a solid red box, copy and paste to front, fill with a...

    I bought mine through Grimco, I paid just under $17K. That was with a Epson $3K rebate and a $1k SGIA show rebate. Haven't dealt with Big Systems, but would highly recommend Grimco out of Chicago. I've had the printer up and running since Nov 3rd, so far very pleased. No issues at all getting...
  19. Epson GS6000 or Mutoh 1614

    Looked at both machines. Bought the Epson.
  20. PosterPrint or Wasatch

    Ergo Texprint is by far the best rip for dye sub or direct to fabric printing. My opinion of course.
