  2. Graphtec cutter blades

    we've had great results with https://cleancutblades.com/ for both our graphtec and mimaki cutters, they list AUD as an option, I think they are other than us based with a sister us distributor. There was a discount code on the forums here but not sure if it is still active, it is "forum".
  3. Latex vs Solvent coverage per ml

    Printing to an Epson R5070, an Epson S80600 and previously to a GS6000 over the long haul we have found 1ml/sqft is close enough to be safe for ink cost calculations. If its mostly white obviously under 1ml/sqft, but a heavy run of ink, or a ton of head cleanings, ink purchases vs what the...
  4. Which bit is your favorite for cutting alum with printed vinyl decals on-Colex machine

    Our best experience for preprinted/stuck/aluminum signs is face down, upcut 0 flute. Particularly using amana 51810K or 51810Z coated upcut bits. scarring the wasteboard slightly but the edge is good and a clean cut. Downcut with a 51508Z is easier but it can be a slightly unclean edge on the...

  10. B2signs channel letters?

    Did one set when our regular supplier was way behind, and they were pretty decent. Preferred a paige box over what they provided, and while the power supplies were ul listed, I didnt like the no name brand. BUT since the access to the back side was a pain in the ass I put in my preferred power...
  11. Any experience with prepasted products and butt joints on a latex printer?

    This would be our own installers. We do a lot of wall graphics, usually based around IJ35, but with the move to low or zero VOC paints, we've needed to move to Hitack like IJ90 or the oracal or GF equivalents. They all pull back slightly over the first 30 days, so overlap is necessary. Rarely...

    Our epson S80600 is looking like it may be in need of a new head or both, it isnt the first time so I'm looking to be as informed as possible before I commit to that expense. Were running in higher quality modes which allows us to get things printed but the time is near to repair or replace...
  14. Alternative to Gemini for dimensional letters?

    Matthews Architectural or ARK Ramos are usually within single percentage price wise to Gemini, but neither have a really robust online portal for ordering. We've found it best to submit all orders via email since no one really has a bullet proof portal that covers all the bases.

    The question you need to ask is sort of a reality check. How close do you really need it to be? You can get lost down the rabbit hole of a perfect match when in reality the difference between lots may be as much as the difference between brands or grades. The second question is will the 751...
