Nah, banner tape (good banner tape anyway) will be fine for that honestly.

Nova display is who we buy a lot of that from actually. They're not the cheapest but they're good. If you're just buying flat acrylic though and not folded or fabricated acrylic, ordering laser-cut clear from Gemini is usually a little cheaper.

Depends on how long it needs to last. Phototex is great for a self adhesive product, but I'm not a huge fan of selling it for a long term permanent project. For that we use Korographics. Haven't tried the new Phototex yet but planning to soon. If you are solvent printing Korographics I would...

OK, first off I want to see pictures or a video of your frankenprinter! Second, I can't speak about other brands, or New England specifically, but I can say CET's support and service is excellent. We've owned a 500H for about 8 months now and they've been extraordinarily attentive to us. We've...

OK, ran the numbers... There are 74 Franks in this catalog, so counting the covers that's .56 Franks Per Page. I think he's slacking a little this year actually. Edit: Oh and yeah, The cover is distasteful IMO. If they would have left the headstones and skulls off of it it would be fine, but...

Got mine last night. I'm working on calculating the FPP ratio (Franks Per Page) for this edition... I'll report back when I've figured it out.

I agree with Phototex if you're after a self-adhesive product, it's really great. If you want true paste-up wallpaper, we've used many many many rolls of Korographics and love it, it is our go-to brand. That said, be aware that it isn't the most durable product when solvent printed (nor is any...

LMAO at his location. :U Rock:

We do more or less the same thing, twist the plastic tube backwards and the backing paper typically loosens up enough that you can pull the tube out and break the tape and get the backing off in one roll. I really wish seal would have made the takeup another core holder like the laminate and...

Agreed, they're almost disposable. If you want a one time use sort of stand it'll probably work fine but if you're looking to get some mileage out I it I would avoid really any X stand, I've yet to find or sell one that really holds up well. If you want something that will last look at a decent...

We run 3 printers (Epson GS6000, Mimaki JV33 and a CET flatbed) off of a $700 off-the-shelf consumer grade HP machine from Best Buy. 2.8ghz AMD processor, 8gb RAM, Windows 7 64-bit and Onyx Productionhouse X10. Also runs the Summa plotter and streams music... Believe it or not I've only had it...

Wait, is the white on that carbon fiber? I just noticed the texture in that. Very nice and subtle, I'd love to see that in person.

I have to agree with Gino and others, $10k isn't much of a budget. Put that $10k into advertising and marketing your services, including digital printing, and build your business up to the point that you can afford AND justify good equipment that won't strand you. And in the mean time, outsource...

My bad, disregard everything I just said, I didn't realize the 6x10s were different!

Correct, when you close the valves on the secondary tanks the lines won't pressurize because there is no demand for additional ink. On the head carriage, there should be a knob (brass probably) next to or near the negative pressure regulator/readout. The negative pressure should normally be...

I re-read your post. I think I'm understanding you. Are you just trying to ink/prime one channel but the others are good? I so, yeah, just shut the valves on the secondary tanks on the channels you don't want to mess with and prime away, or just dial down the negative pressure to -2ish and let...

So you're wanting to basically shut off all channels but one, in essence, or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do? If that's right, I don't think it would cause an issue, but why no just close the ink valves above the heads on the secondary tanks, wouldn't that accomplish the same...

Gigi, what's the deal? Are you waiting on a plane ticket to Ohio? You're visiting all these people and you're making me feel left out here. I'll wear my brown coat for you...

This thread is amazing!

Awesome!
