I'm looking for a supplier for brushed aluminum laminate we can mount to a thicker substrate like acrylic, pvc or foam board. Just a cheaper solution than 1/4" solid aluminum. Thanks, Greg

Here's a video I put together featuring Esko Gravograph and Rowmark!

I'm going to be working on a video project with ISA on "Old School" sign makers. I'm trying to find some old footage of how it used to be done! Anyone have any ideas or know where to look? I'm totally fascinated by the talent it took in the day to do what they did! Us newbies are spoiled and...

Anyone have any tips or tricks for removing sign panels that have been stuck down with VHB? We just installed some high end zinc etched signs on some really expensive doors and they decided they want them mounted to the wall next to the doors. Whats the best way to get these off without...

I'm thinking about updating my Mimaki JFX200 to have a clear ink channel as well as a primer channel. Any thoughts on this? Experiences? Is this a useful option to have or just a gimmick that won't ever get used?

So I made a huge mistake. I went to print a template onto the table and set the head height so it would be 2.1mm away from the table. I forgot to take out the media locating screws and needless to say the screw took out a head. My question is? Shouldn't the safety bar have prevented this? I...

Just seeing what ink set JFX200 users are using and why? We just bought a used JFX200 with just CMYK and white. No light cyan or light magenta. Is this important? Thanks! Greg

I'm looking for a vendor that can make close to 2000 signs for us. They are a custom size and will need to have graphics. Anyone have suppliers that are really competitive? Thanks! Doc

We are working on a bid to print 1800 aluminum sign panels. We are in the process of getting a Mimaki JFX200 flatbed and I was wondering if anyone had any experience printing traffic signs with a flatbed? How do they look, durability and best way to do it? The thought of manually applying...

I'm working with our local college and they want us to print and install some 9x12' floor graphics on their gymnasium floor. We did some samples for them with IJ40 and the textured laminate from 3M, but they say it's too slick. What have you found that works? Sticks well, yet removable and has...

I'm puzzled why I can buy print media in 60 inch wide rolls but the laminate is only available in 61" wide? Won't this cause problems coming out of the laminator and the take up sticking together? 54" media has 54" laminate......help me! Greg

So this printer is kicking my butt! Getting carriage lube issues like everyone else. Did the firmware update, replaced the belt and tensioner and even the carriage bushings and felts. I need to clean and lubricate before every big print run or the printer binds up and botches the job. I have...

This is the new Mimaki JFX200 flatbed UV LED printer showcased at ISA in Orlando. This printer just raised the bar in my opinion as it uses LED for bulbs and has a 4x8 footprint and a price point around $78k! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvC_8nQoZw4&feature=youtu.be

We're building and designing powersports graphics and once we get the templates done, apply the graphics over the top,mask them and then add a cut contour, we would like to ungroup the pieces and be able to nest them. We also use Onyx for a rip program if we could use that to help. I'm new at...

I'm trying to print up a olive drab wrap for a drift boat. It's just plain yuk drab green. It prints fine for the first 5 feet then it starts to band really bad. I cleaned the print heads and it worked fine for 5 feet then started banding again! I'm using IJ180. Onyx rip. Any ideas?

Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Greg Painter and I just got in the sign and graphic business a year ago. I've been filming extreme motorsport movies for the last ten years and decided to get into powersport graphics so I took the plunge! One thing I learned when I was looking into...
