  1. HP Latex 365 - voltage too high?

    Just clarifying the Buck Boost conversation with a Wikipedia Link, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck%E2%80%93boost_transformer
  2. looking for corrugated plastic - NOT coroplast

    The correct nomenclature for that material is Corrugated Sta-Tuf V3 It is sold by Spartech Plastics https://www.gogsg.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/SPAV3W-104_broc.pdf It is used in portable sign faces. Spartech sells yellow 48"x144"
  3. Opinion Here's a Chat that I had with a large sign wholesaler....

    Thank you, gentlemen and ladies, for you very inciteful comments to my childish appearing rant. What I set out to achieve has been accomplished. Signs 365 called me to say they figured out how to score the backside so that it will fold so it will self-stand on the sides of a pallet of auction...

    Yes, knives can kill.... We don't let our employees use knives. (My words, not theirs)
  5. Opinion Here's a Chat that I had with a large sign wholesaler....

    The reason I wanted to order from here is that they direct ship to my customer. I really don't like shipping large signs because I must use 4mm coroplast for the "Cardboard" and marking up the shipping costs that much makes me look bad to the customer.... Me 12/1/2020, 8:58 AM Good Morning, I...
  6. Product ideas to improve the sign & printing industry

    Not a problem at all! When the activator melts the ink it is just a sticky as any other ink. Word of caution, UV Ink won't melt back to a liquid state with standard hydrographic activator.
  7. Product ideas to improve the sign & printing industry

    Well, if you have a Latex printer you can start printing Hydrographic film for people or for use it in-house! I've been using my HP latex printer to print hydrographic film for the last three years... It has been a profitable blast to do! If you guys do it, be sure to turn your optimizer level...
  8. Fc9000 review... somebody please, anyone

    You are right, this is a ploy by SAI to sell more subscriptions on the back of an excellent machine manufacturer. Woe on Graphtec for agreeing to such a thing. I really believe this may be the event that puts them under. I will NOT go to a subscription model when I have bought and paid for a...
  9. Fc9000 review... somebody please, anyone

    The FC8600 is a great machine! It will do what you need. Be sure to get one soon because Graphtec has ceased production on it and has switched over to the FC9000. Which is a shame, because FexiSign refuses to add the FC9000 drivers to older versions of Flexi. And the Graphtec Studio Pro Plus...
  10. Can't get my HP 315 to print a solid black.....

    I've solved that problem by using Black in the LAB color Space/palette in all my artwork... It works much much better than RICH BLACK on Latex printers. "RICH BLACK" is too much ink for latex printers, you will have uncured spots if you lay down that much ink.
  11. Best Print Method For Gym Padding

    With vinyl Upholstery material, it is better for the ink to dissolve partially into the vinyl surface since you are unable to laminate the vinyl. But then again you might want to experiment with 2 mil wrap laminate on a heated laminator to see if that would fill the texture of the vinyl. Latex...
  12. Best Print Method For Gym Padding

    Ideally, you would print with eco-solvent ink directly to white upholstery vinyl and use it to wrap the pads.

  14. Add Camo Dipping to your Services

    YES! Latex printers are much better to use than pigment printers. But you can't use UV or Solvent printers.

  16. Add Camo Dipping to your Services

    Good Lord yeah! I've been doing it the last three years and having a profitable blast doing it. I still haven't figured out why more sign shops aren't doing this...

  18. Considering a Shopbot for Acrylic/.040 aluminum. Thoughts?

    We run a 4x10 Shopbot with a Porter Cable router head and it cuts thick and thin acrylic very well with it. It will cut everything except 0.040 aluminum... It cuts dibond and alumapanel just fine. Bot not solid aluminum, it just clogs up the bit within the first three inches, even with a...
  19. Reflective Banner

    Thank you! It was kind of you to let me know, and not keep me hanging. I wish more of my customers were like that! I have enough material for that job, I just wanted to keep some back for myself. Or you could just talk her into making the job 25" x 104"... Hint, hint... :-)
