I was in the offset/digital printing industry for over 14 years prior to starting my company and going wide format and signs back in 2008. I can still do what I did, and could easily add a few digital presses or copiers, but I won't because it isn't worth it to me. I think it would only work...

I buy my Mutoh parts from Solvent Inkjet, they are a merchant member here as well. https://www.solventinkjet.com/product-page/mutoh-valuejet-dx7-print-head

We've had our GFP 563TH for just over 2 years. (We upgraded from one of the US-TECH AK-600 units that was all manual, no heat assist) If you are getting bubbly or wrinkled lamination, chances are the pressure isn't set correctly, or you have the laminate and take-up rolls off center causing a...

Really depends on QTY and needs of types of stickers/materials/features you want to produce. If you're doing LONG runs of the same shape, 10k, 100k or more at a time, etc. AND without a lot of changeovers, then a clamshell press would work great for that. For more flexibility, a digital...

Happy birthday Behrmon! In all honesty, I've been feeling the weight of the world lately - not just the COVID thing. But I'm trying to look on the bright side... We started moving into our new shop middle of December, as with any move, lots of stress, lots of unknowns, lots of things we...

Moving to a new shop with double the space, and a new vanguard flatbed printer.

No I haven't heard of Fauna. FWIW - I was VERY leery about switching to 3rd party inks back in the day, but talked to several people who gave me their experience with JetBest before I tried it. Now, all these years later I know it was a good decision. I know there are other inks out there...

The ink holds up just as well as OEM in my opinion. We do lots of coro signs, banners and such that receive no lamination, no issues to speak of, no customers coming back with any complaints. *I will state that "fading/color" is different than "scratching/abrasions" - if you hit a banner or...

I will wait for one of the experts to chime in, but I wouldn't think so. The programming on the 1304 is setup for a 54" printer and the 1204 is a 48" printer. I would think all the parameters would be out of whack, or you swap your board into the 1304 and it may only be able to print to a 48"...

We have a "print room" where our R2R printers are and that is where the ICA 2000 sits. It does a good job at removing solvent fumes and any mist in the air. However, you have to make sure you keep up on changing the charcoal/carbon filter. Typically we do it every 4-6 months or when we start...

So, it was working fine before now...and now it's off? And when you say "off" how much? *Do you need to calibrate your printers? Maybe a PF adjustment or similar is needed? I know without proper calibration most R2R printers can print long or short to some degree which is more noticeable on...

Do you have any other printers in the area? (Solvent, latex, etc?) When was the last time you changed the filter?

Thank you!

My bad, I thought you were referring to their wrap film Yes, General Formulations or Oracal 3641 are both economy style vinyls that should be somewhat competitive with the Media One stuff...

Have a customer wanting streamers (like used at car lots) but custom printed with their logo. Would just be single color blue and white...anyone have a source? Thanks.

It's been years since we've used it - I thought they were the only supplier. We did several box trucks and simple wraps with that material, being cast it was definitely an attractive price point, but I always found the material kind of brittle and harder to work with than the big 3. You can...

Trying to make my final decision between this machine and the Stratojet 2512 Shark. Both are different machines and have their pros and cons, but I know the Vanguard is very new and wondering if anyone here has one, and what their experience has been?

Another happy Summa F1612 owner here. Had our machine for just over a year now. It has cut everything you mentioned above and more without a hiccup. I won't disagree the Zund is better built, and has a few unique options/features, etc. that the Summa does not. HOWEVER, when you consider...

As others have said “flex cut” or “perf cut” is one way you can separate individual labels or decals if you only have a roll cutter. Another way, and arguably better way, would be to use a flatbed cutter which is what we do now. Our Summa F-1612 cuts through the vinyl as well as the backer...
