  1. Moving large format printers.

    Rent a liftgate truck and move the printer yourself. The user manual or an Epson unboxing video on Youtube should show all of the places where they tape or clamp components during shipping. Keep in the mind that the 40600 is top heavy and does not ship assembled so it is imperative that you move...

    I'm looking for a trade printer who could print 5000 to 15000 8.5x11 5/0 90gsm certificates with a gold ink official seal.

    Here's a relevant thread on the graph wizard product. I have a Duplo 646 that is ok, but needs constant tweaking. Next slitter/cutter/creaser will be Horizon. https://printplanet.com/threads/standalone-creaser-or-creaser-slitter-cutter.290855/
  4. Has anyone replaced their Maxi press teflon shuttle with another material?

    I'd worry about poly getting worn out from the heat, but it wouldn't cost much to experiment. ahh.biz sells a variety of exotic industrial fabrics including steel fabric that might work for this application.
  5. British Columbia is cut off from the mainland. Washington State Supplier Needed!

    Grimco, WCP Solutions. Sonoma Graphics Products, JVH Tech, Sun Supply, and AIrmark have Seattle warehouses.

  7. Epson S40600 grainy output

    I compared the profile that I setup with a 3m IJ35-10 profile in Epson Edge dashboard and reduced the platen gap from 2 to 1.6, which made a huge improvement in image quality. I'll post more details soon.

    I have been successfully "die" cutting stickers with the tangential knife on my Summa S2T140.

  13. Printshops who offer web design

    Small cutsheet and wideformat printshop here. Given the supply shortages and economic volatility of 2021, I'm thinking of adding web design to my service offerings. My team gets asked about web design somewhat often, and I don't think it would a skillset stretch to offer websites built on a few...

  15. Electric paper cutters (guillotines)

    I have had two nasty failures with Titan 200- one failure was the clamp spring failing spontaneously and the clamp falling and almost crushing an employee's hand. The other issue was the failure of the coupling between the hydraulic pump and hydraulic valve assembly. Challenges offered this...

  18. Epson S40600 banding

    Thanks everyone. a77 diagnosis of 500mm calibration prints being imprecisely measured turn out to be the fix.

    typically four passes. I'll run some jobs with 8 passes and see what happens. thanks.
  20. Epson S40600 banding

    My team is getting banding on most prints from our Epson S40600 about 24-36" after the job starts. A couple of medium or heavy cleanings before run right before a job prevent the banding. I've cleaned the printer with OEM cleaning fluid and polyester swabs, changed the cleaning pad, and...
