Have had our Digitech LTX3 for about 3.5 years and could not be happier. We bought a second colex last year and had it built for the Digitech>colex conveyor auto cut/finish system but have not invested in the additional conveyors required. Was looking to get real world experiences on it. It...

For anybody that went to ISA I hope you witnessed the ass whooping Digitech handed out. While the other vendors were busy talking big speeds and not printing anything, Digitech was blowing through pallets of corrugated with their new print/cut system. Absolutely amazing. Shows how they are...

If you are printing white on your TruFire, this software upgrade is a game changer! And of course…the upgrade is free because these guys are continually improving their product. We run a lot of large jobs with white and we have had zero issues with the white drying out after the upgrade...

We have used General Formulations for years and having issues with a recent batch of material we received. Trying to narrow down if it is material or printer issue. I believe it is a material issue but want to see if anybody else has seen this problem. Material: Concept 201 & Concept 201OAP...

Is anybody running the new Digitech workflow software? I have heard great things and looks to be ideal for running jobs with variable data. Have not had time to update yet but wanted to get other users opinions. This company just keeps getting better!

We noticed our optimizer leaking on some material and then realized it had leaked all over the maintenance cartridge. This lead to it getting all over the printheads and clogging/ruining the all of them. Frustrating but that is the half of it. We diagnosed that a fitting had failed...

We have been noticing dots of ink on the back of substrates after they have been printed. We realized that it is excess ink coming from the vacum holes in the belt after we have printed a bleed. Ink has been printed onto the belt and gone through the vacum holes which does not cure and gets...

We are running some .015 clear rigid vinyl sheets (25"x52") second surface with a white flood and are getting head strikes due to the heat from the lamps. We are using the clear sheet profile with the vacuum on high and the lamps on low. Anybody have any suggestions on how to prevent this? We...

Needing a good wholesaler or manufacturer for a good quality brochure box holder that you can attach to real estate frames. Would prefer it to have a clear front with a open/close lid on top. Needing between 1000 - 1500 per year. Anybody have a good recommendation?

We installed some perf on the back of our company truck and everything went down smooth. In the light I notice some spots where it looks like the laminate is touching through the holes in the perf and making contact with the glass. Looks like air bubbles but aren't. Is this common? What can...

We are installing some Orajet 3675 with Oraguard 290-F laminate on some van windows and was curious if we need to seal the edges. I have noticed that 3M offers edge sealing tape, but Oracal does not. Does the Oracal require the same edge sealing tape that 3M does? We will be doing the 4 side...

Anybody tried this? We are in a bind and are looking for an alternative to Bantex 18oz. We have several custom 62.5" rolls of Bantex 18oz we are running for a job and are going to run out. Herculite/Bantex does not have enough material to fill the job and we need something comparable. Can...

We have been using Bantex 18oz for several years and love it. We have been getting it custom cut to 63"x75' for a job that we regularly run. Lately we have been getting out bid and the only option left is to research new materials. I am looking for something similar/comparable to Bantex 18oz...

What premask do you use for RTA vinyl cut lettering? These will be 3"x10" vinyl cut logos for a snowboard shop to inventory and sell. They need to layflat and be presentable as they may have them for a while. Everything we have ever used has curled and buckled as soon as any humidity gets...

Took this video the other day while we were running a couple political jobs. The video should be the most recent post. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Parrott-Printing-Inc/117991951609977

We are getting ready to purchase a sewing machine so that we can finish our banners in house. Our question is, which process is better: lockstitch or chainstitch? What I have gathered so far: Lockstitch: Juki LH 3578 Pros: More durable, sews monofilament thread better and can sew in...

We were invited by our sales rep Jim Peterson from Advantage Sign Supply to come down to Atlanta to visit the HP Demo facility. Got to Atlanta Tuesday night for an early Wednesday morning demo. I must say that they have really put a lot of time and money into this facility and it really...

We don't typically do vehicle wraps, but had a job land in our lap that we are looking to take on. We want to print and install the vinyl, but have a 3rd party do the design. Are there any good free lance designers that specialize in vehicle wraps? If so, could somebody point me in the right...

We are printing decals on a Epson gs6000 (colorburst rip) and cutting to shape with a Graphtec FC8000 (via Illustrator) and having reading issues. The plotter seems to read fine on any matte materials, but the second you throw any gloss on there it will not read the registration marks. Has...

A cutomer of ours is asking us to print some decals that he can apply to his football teams helmets. The decals only need to last 1 season (90 days) as they will send the helmets off to be refurbished once the season is over. We will be printing/cutting 1 image for each side of the helmet, a...
