Once really well, maybe twice. I would go the soapy water on a rag route, unplugged.

Probably a better idea.

That sounds awful. I had an offset shop for years, you get pretty good at tucking your fingers inward and learning how to let go of a rag. On my laminator I only do it with the rollers turning towards me for that reason.

Rag and 90% alcohol for us.

I used a folded rag soaked in alcohol on the rollers while they were running. I would do this from the back side and very carefully as it could go wrong in a hurry if the rag got caught up. We also got quite a bit of color off of our rollers at first when cleaning.

Thick / cheap laminate is also not going to behave like thin quality stuff.

Hello from Texas, I started out as a broker, many years ago. Since I'm not in Canada I wouldn't be the best to help you with vendors but there are quite a few folks on here that are. Welcome to signs 101 There is also a Merchant Member section here that you can look through.

One would think. I'm a bit curious about this too, we make out own.

I pull the knurled portion away from the handle portion and crank it down like a mo-fo; If I rely on just twisting the handle it seems like the collet doesn't get seated properly.

At some speeds (some profiles) on our xc-540, we need the time of the full scan if we are using the take-up roller. This is especially true if printing on a stock with a non absorbent backing, ie. banner...

Much better. lol If you had mastered it in a day I was going to throw mine out the window.

Big Fish has a good calendared lam that's inexpensive. I don't think it is quite as good as 210, i.e. a little more shrinkage but 1/2 the price or so.

Ever notice how their weekly special is always more than anyone ever pays for anything normally? I've used for flat stuff and it seems to last well.

Not sure the best think to do here (but I'm the only one up at this hour). Search on here for the proper way to do a head soak with cleaning fluid (not cleaning cartridge), park the head and go to bed. Maybe change it in a couple of hours for another soak. The liquid and vapor of the cleaning...

Ours has run like a clock. I guess I didn't notice not having a second bar because we never use craft paper.

The front bar and collets came included with mine I believe

Having them in sync shouldn't be an issue as the US Tech doesn't rely on pressure but just the weight of the main roller itself. I would imagine that there is some play once it is in the down position. Seems like it would be convenient to me but also one more thing to break I guess. I'd...

Are you already a sign painter or still aspiring?

What a well written response, makes me feel a little bad about mine.

Tried a test print from the printer itself to check the heads?
