Love it! Did you scan / design the part yourself? This is the only useful purpose I can think of for a 3D printer in our shop. What does the workflow look like for something like this?

It would be helpful if you included the actual model that you're referring to.

Ah yes, the classic bait and switch! Who were you guys getting it from? I've asked our suppliers about it here and they all look at me like I'm crazy. I've yet to actually see this material in real life but am definitely intrigued.

Did you end up getting this machine? If so, how are you liking it? I seem to remember you discussing it in different threads but can't remember now.

Are you running LUS200 for the White? We have LUS170 for CMYKLcLm and LUS200 for the white. (Just the way our UCJV came when we got it 5ish years ago) I agree the white is great on these machines, I only wish it was easier to work with in Onyx. I created some custom profiles for cmyk + w...

Agreed, VW is actually amazing for a free, OEM RIP platform. Very easy to use and just works. We transitioned from a 100% Roland/VW shop to running everything through Onyx a few years back. It is a big step and I understand the confusion/frustration, but once you get it you'll wonder why...

If it was truly 9 boards per hour that would be good value for that price, but like Rmurray321 pointed out the claimed speeds are rarely realistic. That being said, our only flatbed is an old Oce Arizona 318gl (their entry-level offering at the time) and only runs around 4 boards per hour in...

I'm assuming they haven't. Looks like it's only been available in North America for a few months, and I don't think they get too many excited buyers when it comes to their flatbeds. Maybe they've finally figured things out, but as far as I'm concerned up until now their flatbed UV offerings...

I know how you feel, we did enjoy our time with team Roland but I won't be going back. Roland helped us through our first 10 years of large format printing but as far as I'm concerned they've lost their way and don't have a place in our shop any more. The Epson is MUCH faster than the Roland...

Doesn't seem like there's much feedback out there, if any, other than this thread: https://www.signs101.com/threads/roland-eu-1000mf.178359/

We've been happy with our Epson S60600. Doing lots of volume? Get a S60600L. Doing TONS of volume? Get a Colorado. We've had Roland XC-540 and XR-640 and much prefer the Epson. No printer will 100% match all your requirements, you'll have to figure out what your product mix is...

Everyday I learn something new about laser engraving plastic.... a lot more to it than meets the eye I guess!

Holy, that's impressive. Good for him. I found him kind of annoying but I guess I'll keep my opinions about influencers/youtubers aside and check him out.

Man, what a sweet setup! I have no idea what this company does or who that guy is (is he like Blippy for adult nerds..?) but that's an impressive arsenal of machines.

Thanks for sharing Gene, always love seeing how you guys are making continuous improvements to your shop and workflows! Looks like a lot of work to shuffle everything around in the shop but I'm sure it's been well planned and will pay dividends once finished. Now you've got my wheels spinning...

I understand what you're getting at, but I think you're missing the point.

I mean we don't usually have delivery on our quotes either. But do you run the payment for the invoice without proper approval of the full amount including extra fees etc? I think the issue here is placing an online order, seeing and authorizing a total/summary of charges, then the vendor...

I don't think it's charging for delivery that's unreasonable, it's adding it after the fact without mention/authorization.

That has to be against the law/rules somehow, isn't it? You're not authorizing them to a free for all of surprise charges when you enter your card info.

When you say "cling", you mean decal right? (Given the fact that 651 is vinyl) How are you applying the premask? Are you using a hard (teflon or similar) squeegee with firm pressure to apply it to your decals? Assuming that you're not cutting your decals too deep/scoring the liner, any...
