  1. GBC Titan Laminator speed control & static electricty

    Can't speak to why your laminator stopped but you may want to look into static string from a company called Jemmco. Properly grounded it will eliminate your static problems.
  2. Static Cling - Heavy Ink Coverage Problem

    I have to second the opinion of SE Sign, I sell the GF static cling also and as long as it's not old material it works very well. That being said, if you're looking at a demanding product application and want to do heavy coverage just use a pressure sensitive vinyl with removable adhesive. A...
  3. Fabric Name Badges

    SeraMark I offer a product called SeraMark which is a woven fabric with a removable residue free adhesive that should work just fine for this application. Have an aqueous printable and solvent printable version. Can get you information if you're interested. Also, it's made in the United States.
  4. New Mimaki JF-1631 Flatbed Printer

    Congrats ! Look forward to hearing how this unit works out for you. Have heard much about it from Mimaki but haven't really heard from anyone who has one.
  5. Kimoto USP4

    First, your vendor is correct, I represent the Kimoto line and they are moving in a different direction. Just not enough aqueous business in Kimoto's view to support the product line, it's been diminishing for years for them. I checked with Hexis and they offer no synthetic paper. You might...
  6. unethical vendors

    In the long run it usually catches up to those vendors. I remember back in the late 80's working for my fathers print shop our biggest customer was a company that wrote appraisal guide books, kept us busy 3 to 6 days a week. One of our vendors went to the company and sold them a darkroom...

  8. Block out banner material

    Herculite Bantex here also, as a distributor. I've distributed some of the other products but Herculite is the most consistent, problem free product I distribute.
  9. 20 pt. ABS board?

    High Impact Styrene, HIPS and ABS are two different animals, both from the styrene family though. ABS is generally more durable than HIPS and doesn't have rubber modifier in it.
  10. Wall Mural material

    Use SeraMark, great fabric, opaque, no residue, made in U.S.
  11. Clear focus profile?

    Call George at Clear Focus, he may have profile information.
  12. Bubbles in foil 2 days after application

    Creative Film Corporation makes some great special effect laminates in chromes, brushed, etc. Owned by the gentleman who sold R-Tape their chrome and special vinyls line. His non compete ran out and he started another company doing the same thing.
  13. Printing on Sintra/Polystyrene

    The Fuji Acuity can be a tempremental unit for whatever reason. I recommend finding a Sintra manufacturer that puts a masking sheet on one side of their material ( Palight used to ) and finding a manufacturer that handles their styrene product minimally. I've got about eight Fuji's in my...
  14. Bubbles in foil 2 days after application

    For what it's worth I've talked to Sherwin Williams about outgassing with wall graphics and they recommend a minimum of two weeks before applying graphics to a painted surface. They said paint could outgas for up to a month.
  15. New flatbed digital- 110,000 sqft/hr

    Now that you've clarified that the packaging is for the corrugated industry, I might have missed that earlier, I have yet another question. What is the benefit of Kodak or any other technology ? Printing black on corrugated ? If you want to do four color process or spot color you're still...
  16. New flatbed digital- 110,000 sqft/hr

    If it's for the packaging industry why wouldn't they just print on an Indigo, flexo press, or an oversized offset press ? The economies of scale cannot be that much better with inkjet at those square footage quantities. Cost of entry will be less but that's about it. The two fastest presses...
  17. Football helmet decals, what material?

    Convex is the way to go. There has got to be a merchant member somewhere here that could do this for you. Or you could order the material direct.
  18. Where to get HDPE

    Look at PolyPrime's Genesis HDPE, the thickness will be an issue though. It would be a custom run product.
  19. printing custom wallpapers, what material?

    Herculite Bantex makes a product called Wall Cover which can be used just like wallpaper. I have a customer that has used it for years. If you're looking for an adhesive backed fabric I'd highly recommend SeraMark. It's more opaque than PhotoTex, more fray resistant, and it's made in the...
  20. Fathead

    General Formulations makes a material called " WallMark" which works well. You could also look at SeraMark, it's an inkjet printable fabric with long term removable adhesive similar to PhotoTex. It meets or exceeds all CSA requirements and should be a little more opaque than PhotoTex.
