It sounds like too much brake pressure applied to laminate on laminator. You stretch out the laminate, especially 2 mil cast, apply to non stretched print and it will just want to curl up.

But an EPSON printer and a Summa cutter

Clean out your PC hard drive and defrag it. This is a printing and cutting problem that’s been going on for years. Just helped an old friend having the same problem printing- starts printing, then just stops. Hooked up my laptop, printer runs fine. Bought a new Pc Bruce

With freight costs today, trucking a large 3000lb printer would cost$10k Lol

It’s either a bad usb connection or a bogged down pc. Clean out hard drive if full and defrag and create cut file again

Everything is made in China! Vanguards are finished off and tested in Atlanta. They are the Mercedes of the market, that’s why Durst merged with them. Bruce

I can show you Vanguard printers if you would like to see them. Bruce 631-520-3074 Bruce@melloimaging.com

What is your price point? Bruce

Buy an EPSON

If you print wraps with a solvent printer and use a BBC infrared dryer in front of it, it can go right onto the laminator like a latex does. Something I've developed for customers starting back in the days with the HP9000. Bruce

Good luck Brian!

I have printers for you. New and used. Bruce@melloimaging.com

3m certified- Looks like the newer inks from Roland and the uv from Mimaki make the cut. I don't see the Colorado on the list. See here for the most recent 3M warranty approved printers-...

Stand alone cutter is a great idea as well. It's funny because I am setting up my demo Summa Opos Cam at my office to read barcodes, cut the job, cut sheet off, then read next barcode and keep repeating for the whole roll! Automation in the current workflow! Just need an auto weeder. Bruce

The Colorado does look like a good machine if you are doing some volume. How is the gel ink with lamination? Textured?

True. If you're doing one or two, there's no need to outsource. Many of my customers don't buy UV flatbed because they don't have enough volume so they buy 3m approved solvent printers from me and just print and mount with a 5 year vinyl and lam. Printing without a 3m approved fade resistance...

I highly recommend you outsource to Sign Center in Milford to start. Tell them Bruce referred you and you will get a discount. Once you’re spending $5k a month outsourcing it’s time to bring in equipment. Bruce

I only tell the customers who do the wraps. And I carry a clear laminate you could put on your windshield!
