This using OEM inks?

We just got pricing and saw some of their test prints on a machine recently. For our needs it seems like a little workhorse.

Ideally we'll cut the prints facing down on the bed with an upcut tool which should pull 99% of the sticky swarf chips up into the vac system. We clean any adhesive build up on the tools as needed. Sometimes that's every bed, sometimes it's less. Depends on the application.

Glad to see this is confirmed with white ink. The fuji 1600 is roughly $47-$48K, how much higher is this slated to cost?

Are you cutting the graphics face up or face down on the spoil board?

I'm not sure there's anything to prove wrong. There's no "one size, fits all" answer. If it's working for you and your clients are satisfied, that's about all that needs to be said.

I'm flooding office windows with the Mactac dusted bubble free film and it takes some technique to apply it without leaving any squeegee marks. That said it's not impossible by any means. If the panels are larger than you're comfortable with bring help. Managing squeegee pressure consistently...

I had this conversation with an installer last week. He favored the Rollepro although there's a bit of a learning curve if you're used to doing panels traditionally. I'd been schooled using a rivet brush and torch which is what I'm more comfortable using. You can fly using a brush and torch...

Hey I touched on this briefly on Instagram the other day, but if you've got time - Could drop any specific feedback about this printer? I feel confident you're a busy person so I'd wager time is always in demand. There's very little feedback out there on this particular press and a year of run...

Caldera's not perfect, but it's so much more intuitive for the workflow we run and use at our shop. I don't missing using Onyx and all it's strange workflow at all.

Got a lotta great stuff, but I think my favorite was an RC car to companion with one my wife got for our son. It's nothing fancy, but it's been a blast.

Its the lingering UV smell that's a tough sell for our clients when printing textiles with UV inks.

Same here, +1 for Nazdar. We had issues with black ink from a different 3rd party ink provider and the switch to Nazdar resolved the issue for us.

Gerber 404 is pretty straightforward to use. Definitely should be in that budget used.

Onsrud provides their feedrate formulas and chip loads in applicable materials. Feed rate (Inch per min) = RPM X # of cutting edges x chip load. 1/2" Diameter 60-200 series calls out a 0.006-0.010 chip load per tooth in hard plastics. If I average that to 0.008 for the chip load @ 1/2" deep...

You're missing the point about getting your machine profiled, not necessarily fiddling with existing profiles in the RIP. Having gone through RIP and profile changes last year, getting the machine properly profiled is the single best investment we've made. Efficiency goes right out the window...

Also to note the major drawback to moving from PVC to the Medex table bed is sensitivity to humidity and to make sure your air source for clean up and dusting is dry air. Wet air will swell the MDF quite quickly and require pretty regular milling. Just keep that in mind. For really tight...

It's not too thick, I believe the medex is one of the denser MDF varieties so you're not getting the vacuum pull straight through the sheet like you'd normally get with a conventional lower density spoil board. I run medex with the holes drilled into the extruded aluminum vacuum bays in the...

Maybe I missed it but are you tacking the bottoms in place when you work your way down? It's all been touched on about the stretch you can get when pulling liner on a large suspended sheet. Triangles and using the performance in the media should make even stretched alignment just a nuisance...
