  1. Colorado 1650 Turn AAC marks off?

    I'm trying to print on Prestotex 17mil material, profile supplied by the material manufacturer. I can't seem to turn off aac marks and the printer prints them and then gets a aac mark read error as the material is too rough for the marks. What an I missing?

    Post a picture of the surface, I've had good luck with using wallpaper paste/adhesive on walls where adhesion problems could come up.

    I live in large city, 30 miles away is how far many people drive to work, 30 miles doesn't even get you to the other side of town, add traffic and it is very common to spend an hr driving somewhere. At least in a rural area you don't have to deal with traffic

  6. From Layering to Printed? Gloss Vinyl Printer Questions

    I have prints on Oracal 651 with Roland Eco Sol Max 2 inks that look brand new on my car 3+ years in unlaminated in TX so I find it believable that prints can last a few years without lam. i put a unlaminated print with roland TR2 inks on my dumpster that gets so hot you can't touch it and it...
  7. From Layering to Printed? Gloss Vinyl Printer Questions

    " What happens when you apply a standard industry car wrapping media, printed on the Canon Colorado 1650 to a car… and you laminate the side panels, but leave the hood portion unlaminated, and then subject it to 6 months and 5 days of punishing Chicago weather? We put it to the test and the...

    Also I think the ink cost savings with the 1650 will more than cover service contract etc. I'm averaging about 9 cents per sqft in ink cost, I think most other printers will be higher.
  9. Printer advice

    Get the Colorado 1650, the lower ink cost over the 1630 will pay the price difference between the 2 machines if you are printing even a couple of rolls per day. I recently made the 1630 vs 1650 choice, very glad I went with the 1650 By maintenance cost you probably are referring to the service...
  10. From Layering to Printed? Gloss Vinyl Printer Questions

    I've played around with it and it looks great, I would trust it for a few years without lam, there is a canon video where the laminated half a car and no laminate on the other color and 6-9 months in no difference between the two sides, kept outside, hundreds of car washes etc

    You could do this with a Colorado 1650, print matte black on gloss black vinyl or the other way around. Or run it through the printer twice printing gloss colors then matte like canon marketing says you could do, would take some experimenting

  14. Split back liner?

    It is called crack and peel backing, I've used a label stock from canon that has the crack and peel backing - MSGLAB54300 - Canon #60 Semi Gloss Label Scores w/Perm Clear Adhesive. This one is made by MacTac, I think they have a ton of choices for label stock with crack and peel that comes on...
  15. Canon OCE Colorado 1650 honest opinion from an owner

    Maybe the crash sensor on the lamp is getting activated? I've had a few times when the media raised up a little and the lamp sensor barely touched causing a strike error. "polishing" the platen with "Cleaner A" once per week fixed all of those media transport problems, it makes the surface...

  20. Thoughts about selling on etsy for side work?

    the penalties have been waived due to covid, just about anytime there is a Hurricane or flood in the city I live (just about every year) in I can get the penalty waived as well.
