  1. Retractable Banner Stand PET Wrinkling After Curing

    looks more like the material is warped than wrinkled? Too much heat? maybe running a latex or something?
  2. New Kala Arkane 1650, what am i doing wrong?

    If it is only bunching in the middle, then reduce the pressure which will actually lower the roller in the middle and help to more evenly pull the films through. If the issues drag to one side or another, then quickly reset the nip by turning the power button off on the control panel...the...

    I have 61" laminates for exactly this reason
  10. HP Latex 800 upgrade to Canon Colorado 1650

    Hey Brandon - You can print white only, two layer white (color then white or white then color), 3 layer (color-white-color), and 5 layer (color-white-black-white-color). Software comes with the unit to help the 3-5 layer printing. Most popular will be the two layer with white...and the best...
  11. What Vinyl to use, help pls

    while clearly bullet-proof, using IJ 40 on something simple like a window is sort of like putting premium gas in a rental car. You could save hundreds by going with a more simple calendared clear vinyl.
  12. Need Help Genuine Roland print head

    The prices from DigiPrint are incredibly good....too good...we've had customers buy them and want us to install them and we now have people sign off on the fact that if the head is dead-on-arrival it is not a reflection of our tech's work. It has happened at least 3 times. We've seen it...
  13. GFP Laminators

    We sell the GFP but only as a secondary option to the Kala. The Kala machines cost more but will last a lot longer and they track straight....and if the nip ever gets off, it self-resets the nip in 2 minutes. The GFP laminators are a great price point or a good option for people who aren't...
  14. Suggestions Adding slitters to roll laminator?

    You made the right call. I tell people all the time that spending the right amount of money on the laminator is a smart investment....if you buy the right laminator (don't be cheap) it will outlast four or five printers over the next two decades. You can add those slitters at any time....it...
  15. Suggestions Adding slitters to roll laminator?

    having sold thousands of laminators, I can tell you that the slitters rarely work accurately unless you have a brand new laminator or a Kala laminator. If the prints or the laminates are not wound correctly, or if your rolls are not perfectly parallel, then the material is going to move...
  16. Over lamination question

    if there aren't a lot of temperature swings, you might find success....but if the graphic is going to be outdoors in a climate where the temperature can swing 20-40 degrees a day, you'll likely see some issues. If it is inside, though, I'd bet you would see satisfactory performance. I'd be...
  17. Canon Colorado

    Victor - when was the last time you changed the ink tubes on your Colorado? We are almost to the point of strongly suggesting this be done about every 9 months to a year for our customers. They seem to crimp over time like a squished straw which then doesn't get the ink to the head as it...
  18. Canon Colorado

    stepping issues....it can clearly be overcome with solid operating skills...but I usually tell people that they'll be happy in the High Quality/Quality modes and they might be able to product in Production Mode...never want to oversell it.
  19. What laminations do you use?

  20. Canon Colorado

    Anyone selling the unit should make it clear that on calendared vinyl you should expect to live in the 400sf/hr range as you'll see some issues at the 600+sf/hr speeds. on banner and paper you realize those faster speeds, though. Cast can be trickier and some of my customers run their cast...
