we have the Leister Hemtek ST and if you're looking at welders I'd say that this is by far your best option unless you have the $$$ and volume to higher end $7-10+ plus machines. Whatever you do do NOT buy one of the Supply 55/US Cutter banner welders. If you want one I'll sell you a used one...

There are some other really great threads on this. We're short on space in our shop (square footage costs way to much in Hawaii...) and we've gone down a lot of routes. -we have a 4.5x9ft plywood table made out of an amazon kit with 2 lower shelves. Worked well but also didn't as we'd really...

I doubt the dryer will affect the reflective material but if it's not solvent compatible the ink will either just bead up on it or else not last very long. Some materials may have to be UV/latex printed. That being said we've never had any issues printing solvent (Roland, mimaki and epson) on...

I'm guessing that it comes down to your tolerance for the fumes. If you do want to install a scrubber there are some really good threads on it but you'd have to search. We were debating one for a while when we were running oem ink in our Mimaki (we switched to Bordeaux and the fumes went way...

I don't have an icolor and haven't really heard a lot of good things about toner based sublimation systems but I do have a lot of dye sub experience. I can tell you 100% that it's either a profile or printer issue as long as you can rule out one thing. I really doubt that it's your time/temp...

Thats the way that we do it too. Print in reverse on clear. Laminate white vinyl over it (sometimes we use 6 mil if it needs more opacity). If you put in registration marks just be sure not to cover them when you add the white vinyl. Many decals actually come out decent just printing on the...

This is a real bummer that this happened and I think everyone agrees that it's stressful how quickly money gets thrown around on techs and print heads. That being said I have to second everyone else in that Solventinkjet has always been top notch to work with. We've purchased a number of heads...

Hi Mark, how does Retack handle fairly fresh low VOC paint? Are sample rolls available? We've even been using general formulations motomark 4mil with high tack for some of our customers who like to paint way to close to when they want us to wrap the wall. It works great even on the slickest...

we used to buy generic chips from lavaink. They seemed more dependable than when we bought them straight from vendors in China just because sometimes when we bought them direct we'd end up getting chips for the wrong inkset.

just wanted to chime in that you'll see a lot of variability on these tents. We sell a ton of them and import the frames by the container and then have the tent tops printed and drop shipped to us as orders come in. Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples when looking at tents. A lot...

I may be wrong but at least on our Lef-20 some of the older inks were hazmat as they were corrosive. The newer inks are not so they are easier ship. The older inks adhered better to certain things like glass though and you didn't have to use adhesion promoter. We were using the older but...

I agree onyx is a mess to figure out. We got thrive with our s60600 last year and the tech who installed it new nothing about onyx or even the printer and we've been struggling ever since.

I would just suggest you really know exactly what you need and what you're doing if buying from Alibaba. You'll likely get exactly what they advertise they are going to send you but sometimes it's pretty easy to order the wrong thing. If it's an Epson head I'd prob advise finding it...

You can do it a ew ways: 1.) Print double sided on 18oz pole banner, either Ultraflex, Arlon, etc or Bantex (Bantex is stronger, more expensive, good for high wind) with well sewn seams. This is the easiest way to do it and cleanest. We've only screwed this up once when we sewed them...

we get the same scam from various emails once every other month or so... always set up slightly different but we're always supposed to contact their logistics company etc. We get it on the shirt side of our business, flier printing side and also banner side. Been getting these for years and...

Hi, I really doubt you're going to have much luck on replies here. Eventually you might end up with someone who has a similar printer replying but if you need help fast you're really likely stuck working with the manufacturer no matter how difficult that ends up being. Sorry, wish I could...

i second custom-transfers.com. We order every week and they are great. Stahls is slightly better quality but way more $$$

we buy mugs from conde and coastal business all the time and do big qtys and have never seen this happen other than the odd one here and there. I would bet that you are cracking them during printing with accidentally applying pressure to the handle when closing the press or you're doing...

A wet install with grey calendered vinyl should be a piece of cake on this as long as you get a wide enough roll to cut them as single panels. We’re doing about thirty 36x80” ish assorted sized windows tomorrow and we’re going on the outside with printer vinyl but with a little practice this is...
