Reds You could even print Coke red with it :)).. That's the crazy thing! I have seen some awesome reds and I've been able to nail PMS colors in the red tones, but when printing a picture with an apple, grapes, and tomatoes, it looks terrible! I'll have to look into the linearization and see...

Eye1 Spectrophotometer I use the 256 ink since the color gammut is better. Also, FYI with the 258 ink, it may or may not stick better since I don't have any way to test it, but here is what I heard about it. It has a lower surface energy so when people do the scratch tests the tape doesn't...

Does anyone have a profile they like for the Oce Arizona 660XT using Thrive. I'm looking for Production mode and all of the ones I have through Onyx and through Oce aren't that great. The reds tend to come out dull and too much on the yellow side, everything seems flat and black colors will...

3 Under 4 Amen! Sleep is precious! My wife and I had 3 under 4 for 3 months, and they're all boys. Yah, our house is a hectic, all the time. Anyway, Congrats! Take them to work and get them used to the solvent smell! LOL My dad was taking me to work when I was super little too. I used to sleep...

This nails it on the spot. Liquid lamination can be under .10 cents/sqft. We have a liquid laminator and coat all of our flat stock. Occasionally for temporary, low cost lamination, we'll use it on smaller stickers and won't mask. We've also tried to bid on fleets of semi-truck trailers and...

I've thought of that before I'd thought of that before we got a Zund. But since we normally use .030 styrene, I thought it would be a little hard trying to get it into the machine as a 4x8 without a big long table and lots of setup. I don't see the problem in that as long as you use a...

Zund and a Drag Knife Find someone with a Zund and it's a cinch with a drag knife. To bad your not in Utah or I'd do it for you.

Post Cure Banding I'm not sure what you mean by post cure banding but I'm guessing its the lawn mower effect where they have different sheens? I don't see that running production mode but I do see it on express mode on styrene even with the lamps at high. I would run at medium and see if it...

Lamp Life Thanks everyone for the inputs. UVgerard: Thank you for you input from a manufacture standpoint. What UV detector would you suggest besides the puck? Also, I do regularly clean the filters, glass, and housing. 500 hrs is the recommended life for our Oce Arizona 660XT. I hope I get...

We have 3 UV flatbeds and a UV coater and I was wondering if there is a way to test the output of the UV Lamps. I've heard of the UV Power Puck, but it seems a little expensive at $4500. It also seems it would be a little hard to use on a table with the flatbed since it is quite thick, and I...

Corner Smashing? I'm looking at getting a accucutter cornermate plus and wondering if someone can give some feedback. I'm hoping that we can cut down on bit time by cutting on a table saw and then punchng the corner. We route our blanks first and then print and clear coat through a roll system...

Rounded Corner Smashing I'm looking at getting a accucutter cornermate plus and wondering if someone can give some feedback. We cut our blanks first and then print and clear coat through a roll system. I'm wondering if the accucutter smashes the corner in a little. If this is the case when you...

+1 to Foamalux. We used to just mount 3M 3510 to black sintra and then flatbed print it. This cuts out that step!

In Onyx you can set your white saturation and get nice solid white when your not putting color on it. We don't run a lot of large solid white areas so I couldn't really tell you on that. That being said, it runs so slow with white, it really shouldn't be a problem. I you wanted to send me a...

Epson S70670 We are running the Epson S70670 that has silver too. We've never used the silver so that was a waste. The white is difficult, you really have to print white at least every other day, otherwise you end up wasting ink trying to get the white heads to come back. White is really...

Noodle & Roodle I haven't actually tried roodle, but I printed & diecutted (right after print) kids trucks (Bulldozer, Excavator, dumptruck, very intricate designs) on Noodle on my flatbed UV printer. My 3 year old has been taking them on and off our walls for the last year. No curling and...

Install Have fun with your new printer! We had ours delivered in January this year. Install took 5 days, (they told us 2-3 also and 2-3 for training, were also weren't in a hurry and didn't really push) training was 2 days + 1 extra day for some specialty printing we are doing with it. Have...

Voltage Problem I would say the head voltage is off, unless it is material specific, then it is static. Also, FYI, I've had problems with ink adhesion on magnets with UV ink. Magnum makes a UV Top Coated and it sticks amazing!

Just a thought, if you are using a spot color as your contour line, make sure that it is either inside or exactly on the edge of your artboards, otherwise, the cutter is not even seeing that there should be a line. Even .03 can make it fall off. I might be way off, and I'm not even familiar...

Zund L2500 I cut 1/16" LDPE and 1/8" Modified LDPE for street stencils like your saying with the routing system on the Zund. The Zund is going to set you back roughly $200,000, lenses I guess if all they wanted was the routing unit and not all the other fancy stuff that you can get with it. :)...
