  1. Leister Triac ST for welding seams?

    Quick question. We have a client that needs a 10' H x 245' W ft pvc mesh banner for an event in Sept. We have the mesh material picked out but of course it's only 164' and they won't special order a longer roll since we only need one roll. My boss wants to do an overlap seam and stitch it but...

  4. Boxworks 2013

    Here is a nice project we worked on in September of last year. It's Box Inc's big conference event at the Union Square Hilton in San Francisco. We produced vinyl murals, sintra prints, 10 x 12' fabric panels for portable TRIGA systems, 10 x 38' double sided pole pocket banner, 30 x 90" milk...
  5. Getting exact print costs from FB500/700

    For anyone that is using the FB500/700, how are you getting your final exact print costs? are you importing the csv file from the printer into a spreadsheet or using another alternative? I'm testing cost proof in Caldera now but don't like the fact you have to set the printer to "Print"...
  6. San Francisco Area Backup

    Ok, here's the deal. We have a client that we will be working with installing graphics at the Hilton in Union Square in San Francisco between Friday September 13 thru Sunday September 15th. Our shop will be empty, all hands on deck. Plus we are going to be miles away from Chicago. So if...
  7. FB700 Losing Network Connection?

    This is a new one for us. Our FB700 will intermediately lose connection with Caldera. I'll send over three jobs and one will make it. The printer is set to a Static IP which our IT guys set up so it doesn't have to pull from the IP pool. If you go to the network settings on the FB and just...
  8. Printing to HPL (high pressure laminate)

    Alright, so our shop purchased a FB700 and it's a great fit for us. Now the owner wants to see us print to HPL. If you don't know what that is, think formica counter top. The trade show company that we provide graphics for puts the laminate on panels for exhibits. They want custom colors...
  9. Magenta looking dark, kinda raspberry

    I'm profiling Sintra on our FB700 thru Caldera/Easy Media. 100% Magenta is a lot darker than I've seen before after a full run though on the profile. It's almost raspberry color. A little stumped on the cause. Maybe the media is not bright enough? Don't know
  10. Backlit profiling with i1 pro 2?

    Ok, we finally got our new spectro (i1 pro 2) and I'm profiling for our LX850. Next up will be profiling for the FB700 which is sitting here but gets installed tomorrow. I've heard that a special spectro is needed for backlit profiling. Is there a useable work around for profiling backlits...
  11. FC8000 cutting quality poor

    I'm stumped. Our FC8000's cut quality is not what it has been. We replaced the blade and the cutting strip but I'm still getting poor quality. For example when you do the force test (the triangle test) the triangles are not straight edged, they have a bit of a wave to them. I've tried going...

  13. First for our shop

    It's been two months of tension fabric signs and this one is a first for us. A tapered circle. The math behind finding how to layout the artwork was the first hurdle but after that it was smooth sailing
  14. Tension Fabric Square

    Here is a little taste of what we've been up to this month. Lots of fabric for a client exhibiting at NAB in April. This is just one of the 3 pillowcase tension signs they have. This one is 6' h x 12' w
  15. Back from Atlanta

    HP flipped the bill for us to head to Atlanta and check out their demo facility and also troubleshoot some of the issues on our LX850. It was well worth the time because we also skipped out and went to CET Color. If your considering purchasing a UV flatbed, get out to CET's office/production...
  16. Backlits, How are you doing them?

    We are looking at samples from CET and Oce and noticed the 2 layer (color/white) on plexi is not producing a quality backlit. You almost have to go the route of the 3 layer (color/white/color) to get it right. We currently print our backlits off the LX850 on the HP backlit film and using...
  17. CET Color print quality?

    just got our samples from advantage off the Q series and I have to say compared to the prints from the oce Arizona 460, they look bad. Colors aren't as vivid and the white is more yellow. Is this common or operator error on the sample prints
  18. HP Perm Matte Vinyl coming off?

    Anyone using the HP Perm Matte Vinyl on a HP Latex machine and experiencing it curling off what ever it's mounted to? Don't know if it's the fact we overlam them or is a temp change later down the road from shipping We have to laminate our latex prints because they are all for tradeshow...
  19. AGFA Anapurna M2540 FB?

    Quick question, anyone have the 2540 FB currently? Any feedback good or bad is welcome. We are currently narrowing our flatbed selection and it's on our list. I know alot of people on here are fans of CET Color, don't worry the Q series is also on the list. We are headed to Oce's demo...
  20. Advantage Sign Supply Tech Service?

    We are looking at getting a UV Flatbed to take over the good old print, laminate and mount process we've been doing for over 5 years. Advantage Sign is selling CET Color and just wondering if anyone here has had experience with their tech service. I know HP's tech service for our LX850 is...
