  1. Waterproof Fluorescent Cardstock

    From the OFFSET PRINTING world, there are a lot of different plastic "papers" that we sent through the old Heidelbergs. However with the new digital era, there is a new batch of heat resistant plastic media for the toner based machines. Try your local Kelly Paper/Spicers, they should be able...
  2. How powerful computer?

    just 1 - but it is very powerful, you will never be able to complain it is not enough to rip any image.
  3. Canon billing

    post a sample from the list and maybe someone can help.... kinda hard to do so without data. (we run mostly Canon machines I have seen a lot of their packers....)
  4. Tritium sign disposal

    yeah, but knee-jerk reaction for a gas that leaves if not contained - it is less dense than helium, floats up pretty freely in the atmosphere.... for someone truly trying to make a huge tritium generated mushroom cloud, there are much easier ways to get it... and much more difficult items on...
  5. How powerful computer?

    https://solutions.nextcomputing.com/product-category/edge-dl/ this Next Computing box will work quite well for printing to an an HP Latex 630....
  6. How powerful computer?

    you can struggle through with almost anything, just set the virtual memory up pretty high and set the printer to not start until it has received the entire job..... alternatively you could get the best gaming rig you can afford and never worry about lag in processing. personally I feel my time...
  7. Tritium sign disposal

    .... to get back a little on topic- or a different squirrel chase at least. Tritium is not very dangerous to humans, in-general. everything from the NRC was correct, all the other health issues are risk based and probably knee-jerk litigation. I have family who was/is in the nuclear...
  8. Graphtec 9000 problems with cutting

    I agree - this was very frustrating in the beginning.
  9. Possible to use colorchange wrap vinyl on inside of glass to be seen from outside?

    you can laminate all the layers before you cut out the lettering... I have seen reverse stickers make this exact way, just not color changing - it was printed on good non-adhesive paper, laminated to the adhesive on the image side, then contour cut... I recall something about making sure the...
  10. Possible to use colorchange wrap vinyl on inside of glass to be seen from outside?

    Clear mounting film is what you are looking for (they also have opaque)....... "1 mill Mojave clear mounting film" Kelly Paper item #7003329 should do the trick laminate it on the color changing film peal off the backing and adhere it to the window (you may still need to do something to the...
  11. Cutting core tubes?

    Laser engraver with a rotary attachment? sounds like more fun than a chainsaw....
  12. Replacement Printer

    As said before, people are very opinionated toward specific manufacturers or machines. However, there are many ways to put ink on paper, and none of the major manufacturers would still be in business if their boxes do not put ink on paper.... that being said, I have noticed that a major...
  13. Need a printer and torn what to get

    I used to run a Heidelberg TOK on the North Shore of Oahu - when the motherboard started to fail we needed to call an actual tech. The service call started at $5k + any parts and time past 1-day. (with a 3-day lead to get tech to the island.) I highly recommend finding what the local talent...
  14. Need a printer and torn what to get

    HP has quite a few print/cut bundles - get a 700w with the Graphtec cutter and laugh all the way to the bank! (but seriously, it has been covered here a lot - there are many ways to put ink on paper - vinyl?- but my personal recommendation is to find out what the service talent in your area...
  15. Question Acceptable size for banner

    Dang! Gino is right... just got back from HD and not a single 2x4 measured 2"x4"!!! If you make a banner to small, just scale your ruler to a standard 2x4 board - then convince the customer that the 2x4 is the most common piece of dimensional lumber and as such should be a valid measuring...
  16. Photo to laser on a metal Tumbler

    The only difference in the prints between adding dark to a light, or removing light from a dark is whether you are using a positive or a negative image to work from: 1)if you want a positive final print and are adding dark to a light, then use a positive original. 2)if you want a positive...
  17. Photo to laser on a metal Tumbler

    it does not matter if the process to make a halftone is opposite - just make a negative image. A halftone may work for you, but the actual dot resolution of the blasted away powder coating on a tumbler is pretty low (use a magnifying glass to look at the edges of a burn... then compare to the...
  18. White Ink printing: which one is hands down the best?

    I second that! We also have a 700W and it works awesome with white ink.
  19. HP Latex Undetermined Head Issue

    ...new printheads is good idea so you are starting from a known point - but how about a profile with more passes? the more passes you use, the less banding you will have....
  20. First time buyer for Large Format Printer

    Solvent or latex - they both work well and have their specific advantages and disadvantages... I personally am biased to the latex (running a 700W), but I would recommend purchasing whichever you can get the best and most local service for... none of these big wide format printer companies...
