I'm digging up this old post, but here's some insight. I ran 792 printheads in my L25500 for a couple of years. I would just swap the chip. One thing of note was that they would die on me very fast though. I have two L25500's that still mechanically work, but are fickle with this ink and...

I have been using the 792 on my L25500 for almost two years. I have even run the 792 printheads by swapping chips. Results vary.

Two words...Gerber Edge. If you are only going to do mailboxes, the Gerber Edge will be your best friend. It can do white, it can do metallic, and print on all types of specialty colored vinyl. No lamination necessary.

I have the same problem...LOL...I just do a wet application layer by layer, if I have to do this method. Normally, I print though.

I've done hundreds of vehicles with Gerber Edge prints. No laminate. They last for years. I've also done some with a DC4, but never saw the vehicles again, so I don't know how they held up. I still use the Gerber Edge for certain jobs. I only laminate dirt bike graphics when using Edge prints...

I'm having a hard time figuring out what this font is. I've used it in the past for the same customer, but when we built our new computers, we obviously left some fonts out. Now, I just can't seem to remember the name/font family/or anything. Old age is finally getting to my...

Flags I am printing one today. First time on the L25500, so I'm not sure how it will hold up. We sew the hem using a double hem tape that we get from the local fabric store. Punch grommets with no problems. I'm curious to see how the ink will hold up. I've used several on my solvent...

Material issue maybe??

There's a guy named Alan that is on here and has converted a few R2R printers to flatbeds...He would be interested in seeing that Epson working for sure....

I've done both! I had a shop for eight years, downsized and worked from home for about 6 years and that drove me crazy. I've been at my current shop going on 4 years. I didn't want customers coming to my house. Some customers expected that I would be faster because I worked from home. I...

I've been making the pans using aluminum angle corners and one brace in the middle from top to bottom. We rivet everything together and then apply graphics. Never thought about using an epoxy glue. I will look into that.

Easier to replace and start with fresh heads. Cleaning them can be frustrating and time consuming. The last time I had a problem, I just replaced and was so much happier. Good luck!!

+1 on 4over. They are easy to work with and quick.

+1 on the Juki...I am glad I bought it. I asked the service guy what to expect as far as longevity. He said he doesn't know. Been servicing for 35 years and never met a Juki that couldn't be repaired. We love ours and sew everything with it.

Yep, and they make you upgrade over time. We had Enterprise 05 and had to upgrade because it wouldn't work on Win7. Down graded to a 3 license "Pro" system for $400 in 2008. In 2012, the Pro version ran out of support so we bought 2012 "Premier" version for same $400 but only came with one...

If you have a pixel out, then you will need a new head to fix the problem. Or you can design around it, which I've seen people do. I've not priced a new head, but probably a few thousand if not more. I just bought a small gear for my Gerber plotter a few weeks ago. Was $220 plus shipping...

+1 on stud mounting that thick of a letter.

Definitely the Edge. I've done something similar with coffee bags.

wrinkle in the foil?? or does it happen all the way down the print parallel to the vinyl's edge? If it is a parallel line no matter the color, then you have a pixel out on the head. If it's random, it's a wrinkly in the foil. Happens to me every once in a while.

I'm using windows home server 2011 in a shuttle case. The microsoft software does a software RAID (if you choose), remote access server, image backups of each computer on the network, and data backups to an external hard drive for redundancy(i don't use the software RAID, just the backup)...
