Be very careful throwing in the size of the company as a gating item to decide what to buy. The landscape is littered with the carcasses of some rather large companies that said they were here for the long term and faded away after about 5 years. We were DuPont and were by far bigger than any...

Ehhhh... good printer at the time but the technology has changed alot in the past 5 years. It is slower than Christmas and your ink costs are high. Very good resolution, though. Uses same heads that are in my CET. Personally, I have never understood why anyone would buy the Fuji branded machine...

I just found that CET video you referenced. What you are seeing is multiple loads going onto a single take-up reel in the course of switching back and forth between roll to roll and rigid at a printing show. So they may print 50 feet and switch to something else, then load another roll of...

Just sent you a long private message. I use white all the time for some of my display customers. My CET printer is configured with 4 heads of white and CET white ink lays down nicely. But if you don't think you will use it regularly, just partner with someone who has it and be done with it or...

Ok... there isn't a UV curable machine currently made that will print onto ANYTHING. Thats why most manufacturers give you options for inksets depending on what your core business is. Try printing to melamine with standard Vutek inks. It'll print - but you can peel the ink off in sheets. Try...

Yeah, I was fortunate to have alot of experience as a technical manager and color profiling instructor when i was with Dupont, so i was pretty much in-tune with UV-curable oddities, different materials and color profiling. CET has a great group of guys that do an outstanding job of setup and...

Depends on how complicated a system you get - but more importantly - which RIP you get with it. If you are used to onyx already them get that RIP with whatever you buy. If you are starting from scratch - get one that uses Caldera. Your biggest concern with UV-curable is understanding that it...

There was only 1 suicide like that recently - Dave Duerson from the Bears and he specifically left a note encouraging brain study. There was no note in Seau's case - so its not wise to speculate that he even committed suicide or that was the reason for the chest wound. If he did go out on his...

Obvious question... what will you be printing on over and over again in the same place? You have a mid-range budget based on the models you have chosen. What are you looking to spend? You have to get an idea of what square footage per hour you need + the quality expectation at that speed...

The PE2Print is only a Rochling product. You have to buy it through a distributor like Piedmont Plastics or Laird Plastics. I don't think you can buy direct since it comes out of Canada anyway.

They use it indoors for grocery store display application. We use the .025 thickness, so you wouldn't put that out in the sun... would warp pretty fast. Second question really depends upon whose ink you are using. I don't know where Anapurna ink is made (AGFA doesn't make it - they source it)...

I print on that stuff all the time as I have a customer whose requirement is for non-tearable material. Wipe it down with a damp cloth - not alcohol. You will get wipe streaking if you use alcohol that you won't be able to see until you print over it. It will look like a light spot in your...

Mike... really? Explain why this is a bad model. Everyone who drives an SUV can't afford a Hummer but does that make Jeep a bad model? One's high end and one is entry level. Do they both serve a purpose in the marketplace?

CET vs. FLORA uuggghhh... seriously. I hate it when people who don't have all their facts and do their research jump on a forum and start spewing crap out of their a$$. If you have questions or concerns or want to verify rumors or know why CET decided to build their own plant to manufacture...

He just got his public voice that he needed by getting this punishment. Now it will make the regional or national news and some ACLU lawyer will pick up the fight and then the political game will be on. So he has to do 15 days in jail, so what, if you pick up some advocacy as a result. If he's...

You are nowhere near where you need to be to do it in -house yet - especially in the NYC area. You are surrounded by output providers and people who will wholesale to you. I would continue doing that until it gets to be WAY too much of a hassle waiting on someone else's production - and even...

Yeah... thats one of the big problems with forums like this. if you don't think the way an original poster thinks and know what to look for in the search area - you end up having 5 threads all about the same thing. I rarely have good luck using the search feature. it returns page after page of...

Still plugging away at the profiles, but initial opinion is that it is a good moderately priced entry level solvent machine. I am picky, so i am not a huge fan of 4-color only machines, but the print quality is sufficient for standard sign shop output. I can't give a full review until we are...

I only need like 25 of the 32". The issue is that the ones I get from Uline are on .040 chipboard and its just too flimsy. E-flute corrugated would be good.
