We do everything on clear vinyl applied to translucent lexan. That way I don't have to stock any translucent vinyl.

A lot of ways to do it. In house method here is to print two files, one reverse. Use white lexan, put the right reading vinyl down first, flip the lexan over and then align and apply the reverse vinyl on the rear.

May not be on paper, but someone with an Edge or Summa could print the gold.

We got some really nice McGrann paper in a little while back, may be thicker then you are wanting, had a nice glossy finish and printed great with our L25.

The only item I have noticed is 4.5, but it seems like all of the laminates I have had lately are getting thinner on their backer. Here I haven't had your issue with item 3 or 4. I have actually been liking my new vinyl/laminate combination better then the 3M pair we had been using when...

We got ours through Pacific Coast Signs Supply, same laminator though. Happy with it, it works, like many said though it has its quirks.

I know the setting is in the Production Manager, not sure about the Flexi side though. So basically, yes it is available.

Its Avery. I'ld be calling for a replacement roll, I'ld suggest a different brand though.

Wow, I thought I had problems with Flexi.

I did that for a while, I think they recommend not installing over an old version anyway.

Nope, noticed a rearranging of multiple cut items as well. I have just started laying out the multiple items in Flexi and the sending them all as one. That way I know the cut file we be exactly as I laid it out and not as the PM thinks it needs to be. I've had a single row of decals show as a...

Found out the price difference. Mind you they had my serial number and they informed me of my expiration date, but the HP price I was quoted was only for a new machine. Apparently buying the extended warranty anytime after its newly installed requires a much larger payout for the warranties.

I know the Flexi has its issues, but we are long time users here. Used it with our JV3 and Summa plotter.

If a sign goes up with that liner on it, you most likely are not getting it off. I would be a great way to keep the second side looking new if it didn't weather so badly.

Yes, the heads are a consumable item. Your time spent changing one out is less then a minute. The printer will spend more time calibrating and such afterwards though. It just the model HP decided to go with the printer.

I record the length on the roll when I unload it. Knowing how much media I have left has been a nice improvement over our JV3.

Also the cutter may last through a couple of printers depending on how often you upgrade.

I understand having a limited list, but especially with vinyl having two options would of been nice.

JV3s were tanks, but they are getting up there in age. Ours still printed fine when we sold it after getting our HP. It had 8+ years on it.

You CAN always add a separate cutter later on, but consider its not just a contour cutting unit, it'll also cut all of you other vinyl too. As for printer tech, still liking our HP.
