  1. Opinion Anyone use VRLA Tech computers?

    only 32gigs ram? Only one HD and it is only 1TB? I have 128 gigs and it frequently uses 100+ gigs ram with photoshop/illustrator running. 64 would be minimum I would by for graphics work in 2024 You can do better than that build and cheaper IMO That build is overkill on MB, GPU and PSU, save...

  4. Looking for a new Computer Monitor

    I've been using this for over a year, love it. Any other monitor I look at looks tiny. Took some getting used to the large size, previous monitor was 32". LG 40WP95C-W 40” UltraWide Curved WUHD (5120 x 2160) 5K2K Nano IPS Display, DCI-P3 98% (Typ.) with HDR10...
  5. Just In How We Make Over 3 million Decals and Stickers a Year at FireSprint

    Yea 99% of stickers I print on the colorado I don't laminate. 6 mil matte vinyl with gloss print looks so good. Everyone loves the stickers But there are customers that want laminated because they heard it's better even though in practice on a handout type sticker it makes no difference.

  7. Just In How We Make Over 3 million Decals and Stickers a Year at FireSprint

    Any reason you don't just do the kiss cut and thru cut on the flatbed? Even if it takes a bit longer I like to just cut them on one machine
  8. Thinking of replacing our 570 with a R5070.. Thoughts?

    Same, my ink on darker colors doesn't cure/dry at 95 degrees but if I crank it up to where it does dry the banner is warped. Problem is mostly on the edges when printing 63" material. I think there is a little less heat on the edges. Scratch resistance is very poor too, doesn't live up to the...

    What material do you use? 9 Pass ?
  10. Thinking of replacing our 570 with a R5070.. Thoughts?

    Go with the solvent epson, the heat on the R5070 is the main disadvantage. You'll be either dealing with media getting messed up from the heat or the ink no curing/drying all the way and turning waxy. I can't really print banners on my R5070 either, if I use enough heat to cure the ink, the...
  11. News Mimaki Ink Price Increase

    The Colorado inks I receive usually have 6 months or less shelf life left. Shipment that came in today expires May next year. But the ink usually comes in 2-3 days after ordering. Not a problem for me as I go through a set weekly but I've heard the techs mention having to drain expired ink every...

  13. HP800 or Roland LG

    Epson does this too with their regular vs bulk in price. All print manufacturers do this through regular and bulk ink versions If you have the print volume the Colorado is great but you have to have the print volume for it to make sense financially

    That makes sense for rate shopping but could just have preset weights in product details and get pretty close to actual package weight
  15. Show Off Your Shop >> FireSprint Shop Tour

    Free shipping (shipping baked into the product price) but shipping quotes you see during checkout on sites are based on product weights entered in the product details., not actual package scale weight. You could have all your weights set up in product details and then get a pretty accurate...

  17. Show Off Your Shop >> FireSprint Shop Tour

    One question about weighing the packages before you ship - why do you weigh small packages when the carriers weigh them either way and bill according to their own weight/size (dimensional weight) measurements? i have been in ecommerce for 15 years and have never owned a package scale or...
