  1. HP Scitex FB700

    I have a ton of experience with all these machines and I'd wait for the 700. It really is a good machine with quite a few speed selections and much better printheads. Now for the bad side...HP warranty and service. We are all hoping they have learned from the last couple years (and I think...
  2. Banding mainly in dark/black colors

    Tons of posts on this, just search. Banding is caused by anyone of these things, heat, resolution, head alignment, profiling. Always test head alignment first, then start messing with heat settings on the pre heat area. Uni directional will always cure this versus bi-directional...
  3. Ink peeling off dibond when laminated

    Also, uv does need to "cure"...there's bad information about these printers in that they are dry to touch so they are ready to go. Not true at all, they still need 24-48 to gain full adhesion to whatever material they are on. But even though the manufacturers tell you this, everyone will still...
  4. Ink peeling off dibond when laminated

    Nope, it's peeling due to the surface of the dibond or metal in correlation to the adhesion of the inks on the surface. pretty sure if you look in your UV manual, it will tell you that aluminum, acrylics, and some plastics are low tension materials and will need some sort of primer ahead of...
  5. Billboard Tri-Visions

    Hey all, have a quick question for those of you familiar with the big older Prismaflex billboard Tri-Visions. We have to replace 6 faces/boards with new graphics and would like advice on doing this. They are the 14x48 boards with Prismaflex faces with the adhesive vinyl, not the slide in...
  6. Need quote

    I apologize, should have been clearer, was looking for suggestion of companies that could quote this out complete shipped to us based upon the size. Can be on raceway or straight letters.
  7. 1005 Supercast Easy Apply RS

    Avery had a lot of bad issues in the past and they know it but the truth is, the new Avery stuff is amazing and works, plain and simple. We've seen more failures with 3M lately than ever before, we think (and others) that they messed around with the adhesive somehow.
  8. Need quote

    Hey all, Need two or three good companies who could quote this entire package out. Client would prefer all to be illuminated and using the day/night faces for the black and LED lighting. From a shipping standpoint, we'd like to find someone around the Midwest area, but not a huge deal...
  9. What is this banner framing system?

    We're stumped on this one. Each banner edge has a keder/sail type edge that fits into a track piece which looks to hook into the portion on the wall. The track on the wall has many grooves that I'm guessing you use to ratchet down the track with the banner/keder edging. Problem is, we've...
  10. Bucket Truck sign holder

    Exactly what I was looking for...but accessories for closed fiberglass buckets, how come no one has come up with stuff like this for them?
  11. Bucket Truck sign holder

    Okay...so really...no pics yet of any of these devices or ideas or how to do it?
  12. Best pricing for over 10' banners?

    Please PM or email this, I am just curious as to who you guys have found around the country (midwest would be the best) that has the best square pricing for large banners over 10'? Thanks,
  13. Bucket Truck sign holder

    All this talking is awesome but some pics would be really, really, helpful :)
  14. Bucket Truck sign holder

    Yes, if you can send me pics or post them, that would be great.
  15. Bucket Truck sign holder

    For those of you with normal bucket trucks...with the white fiberglass type bucket on the end...has anyone seen or come up with a good way to put a board/sign holder attachment on the bucket itself to hold things? We've seen them on other rigs where they are made for the rigs but can't seem to...
  16. New Transit Connect just finished

    How much square feet does this vehicle have...don't have a template but need to price one for someone. Thanks,
  17. Who has a Mimaki CG-FX plotter?

    Looking to find people who run Mimaki CG-FX plotters? We have a few and really haven't had any issues with them until recently. We were going to plot Gill Sans font, about 1" tall on Oracal 851 cast vinyl using a 45 degree blade and .30 offset and slow speed and 80 on pressure. Problem is...
  18. Wholesale neon signs?

    Anyone know of good places to get neon signs made for like pizza chains, restaurants...the kind they hang in the windows? We have a customer looking for a decent amount of them, custom to their logo but can't seem to find anyone to get back to me? Also, would love to find someone dealing with...
  19. JV33 Printhead, suitable for JV5?

    Well, all jv5 owners could do a class action lawsuit against Mimaki and that would get their attention pretty quick.
