How did you disable them? We asked our supplier about that and he said the laminator won't function if they are disabled.. Figured that was not true but haven't messed around with it.

We don't have a problem mounting, mounting just isn't the best suit for the kala laminators.

We have a kala, it's great at laminating. Mounting vinyl to substrates is another story, our 9 year old RS does much better at this. To be fair, I don't think they built it to be good at mounting, but they don't really tell you that. Trays on the kala are small which hinders mounting. The...

Substance Media Icon 3750 vs Briteline Duration - IM5651? We have zero experience with either media, and brand for that matter, I think these are their top quality vinyls for my purpose. The Icon claims 7 year durability, I like this but never heard of the brand before. Briteline claims 5...

Thank you for all the suggestions. The substance Icon pm3750 looks pretty good by the stats. Does anybody have any first hand expierence with this stuff? How is it with shrinkage? Just never really heard of the brand before.

Looking for solvent printable vinyl that has no manufacturer markings on the back on the liner. Need it to be fairly decent vinyl, minimum outdoor rating of 5 years, permanent adhesive, good resistance to shrinking.

We had several sheets of max metal very similar to this recently from Grimco. You could actually see a faint crease running up the middle in the right lighting. Our kala laminator gave us trouble mounting prints onto these boards. We ran them through our Royal Soverign laminator and they came...

This is exactly what's happening IMO. What you need is a vendor running a Solvent printer, with a minimum inkset of CMYK lc lm lk, run in a high pass mode (slowed down) at it's highest resolution. lk ink really does wonders for grays/shadows. There are solvent machines out there with...

Grimco has them. Don't see why they couldn't ship to you?

Pop in a cleaning cart.

Epson raising prices on GS3 inks 10%. Seems kinda steep?

Hmmm why such good deals? Something new coming down the line?

I'm seeing a ton of push back here and on other sites/FB groups about this forced lockout. Is Roland working on a better solution? Or are they jumping off the bridge?

I wouldn't suggest a latex for your situation at all. The pros to latex are the ability to print on more specialty materials such as fabrics. And that they don't have any drying time before lamination. Neither of which seem important to your setup. The poor print quality, inconsistent colors...

Of course. I'm sure the wasted ink doesn't bother them either $$$. But in reality, all anybody needs to do is unplug the printer if they want it to stop cleaning. This is all about controlling end of life for printers to ensure that a shop doesn't hold on to a printer for 5-10+ years. Look...

My biggest fear confirmed. Lol

This is pretty much what I do. You need to avoid the big "download installer here" buttons and find the little "download font" button. I always make sure it's downloading just font files and nothing else. But I'm always a little fearful that a 75kb ttf file is actually a virus or something...

Totally agree.

S80 here. I have been wondering lazily about this too. We are in the middle of a large wrap project where we are printing pretty much around the clock, full rolls, 4-5 rolls a day. We've had to empty the waste bottle twice in the last few weeks, I'd guess about (25) 48' trailer wraps printed...

CradlePoint, I'll have to look into this. We are currently using a couple verizon wireless usb modems 4G, plugged into a networked router. Speeds are OK, but data is limited to 15 g per month, so we have 2. When those run out we can use the hotspots on our phones or purchase more data. The...
