You're really over thinking this. I have tested all of these products, trying to find something that represents the wear and feel of the transitional skateboard transfer. None of them do. The ones that you feel like would work, end up leaving a gummy film because they're meant to stretch...

When I say ink-only heat transfer, it's REAL important that you understand what I mean. Only the ink is transferred to the surface. No vinyl, no pet, no this, no that, JUST ink. HTV, be it vinyl, pet, I do not care, they all have a carrier of some sort that transfers with the ink to the...

What you saw in that video is not HTV, it's the ink-only transfer I've been speaking about. I print my boards the exact same way. The man in that video is one of the most respected people in skateboarding, and runs one of the largest manufacturing companies in Mexico that produces for many...

It's a PET release film with inks screen printed or digitally printed on it, with a white layer screen printed the back that bonds to the skateboards surface when ran through the roller style heat transfer machine and the surface brought to the temp required by the specific release film used.

This is the wrong advice. Direct surface screen printing or ink-only transfer are the only means acceptable to the skateboard wholesale industry at-large. The company asking for heat transfer production, are asking for the pro-skateboard style transfers, this I can 99.9999999% promise. A...

Again, you are putting words in my mouth for whatever reason. The proper, current, and current best way to apply skateable graphics to a skateboards deck is an ink-only heat transfer. I'm not saying a skateboard graphic can't be printed 900 different ways. It can be screen printed, which some...

No, hydro dipped boards introduces moisture to the boards that alters the way they feel while riding. People do hydro dip for decoration purposes though, I've seen that. Same goes for direct surface sublimation, the amount of time and heat to even potentially get the ink to transfer would remove...

I think you are misunderstanding what the word professional means in this context. A PROFESSIONAL skateboard deck is made specifically for the purpose of long lasting, rigorous use as demanded by professional skateboarders. The skateboards sold in stores like walmart and target are beginner...

A professional skateboard, the deck itself, sells more more than the walmart completes. The walmart products are introductory products, and are made with various different materials and printing methods that aim to control unit price, not achieve high quality results. A professional, correctly...

A professional skateboard is never made with vinyl, so that’s a problem right there.

It's not dye sub. You'll also not be able to produce them at a price that's competitive to the china import model they all use. Trust me, I've been in the skateboard industry for 11+ years. Run, run fast from that.

But they can mount white vinyl (no grey adhesive) to the back of it to create the white. That's an option. Or the adhesive-less perf with clear mounting film will do as well.

Does the 100-160 spit ink in the captop every 5-6 passes like the 300-160 does? We're considering adding a second one and would probably go with the 100-160 if it's more ink efficient.

I’ll run these when I can. I don’t run a traditional material, which means there are no profiles available for my situation, so we only ran canned profiles and color matching tweaks to get where we could get. The installer was not versed in profile manipulation and the various things we tried...

Hey hey. Just had a UCJV300-160 (LCLMWW) installed and the canned profiles / color matching just isn’t cutting it for raster photographic images. My 2009 Roland LEC-300A with its canned settings absolutely blows this thing away in just about every possible way can to can. Is this something you...

Hey all, Long story short, I was hired to train under and relieve a retiring owner and production lead (two employee team) during a buyout. We currently do not have a viable print/cut solution in place and I'd like to get that squared away for decal and vehicle jobs. We have an HP Latex 260...

I have a Roland LEC-300A UV Printer and I'm curious, does anyone know if the gloss channel can be converted into a second white channel? This model is a 3 head / 6 channel (CMYK+WG) model. I'd like to set it up for white (I exclusively run a product that i could be running with white every...

They accept PayPal. If it doesn't show up, you'll get your money back. I'm about to chance it for that $194 DX4 head!

Hello! I’m in need of the LEC300A service manual. If you could please email that to rtskatenelec@gmail.com , you’d be a life saver! Thanks.
