Isopropyl alcohol soak for no longer than a few minutes, you can watch it curl the ink off. Only apply to the ink you want removed. Laser cut/clear/acrylic edges will crack if alcohol touches the edge and starts to penetrate. Immediately remove if it touches the edges. If you blow on it to try...

I've got a UV flatbed that I've done some test prints on for garment printing, one and 2 shirt runs. Comes out faded because the ink catches on the fibers and gets cured proud of the surface. Is there something I could spray on the fabric first or treat the fabric first to help get the ink and...

What's the hourly rate?

Customer wants me to install vinyl graphics he bought from a catalog, black skulls & tribal to be installed on a Ford Raptor, on the sides. Just install cost, what do you think? Customer wants large metal tear graphics on his small van, not a full wrap, sides and back. I'm doing the design...

We have a recurring problem with our Arizona Flatbed (no that's not a joke) I'll start a print, usually a nozzle check and the gantry head will move to the opposite end of the gantry rail, sit there for 2-3, 5 seconds then it will beep and go back to home position. Sometimes it will print a...

Check Palram, they make PVC siding for houses and they claim the sign panels are the same stuff.

We print on Plexi and acrylic all the time with an Arizona 360 XT both indoor and outdoor applications, thin to thick. Lamps are hot as hell. What do you want to know?

What are the costs of you ink heads? We were charged $4500 then I found and online source for $2500 and right now they are having a discounted sale. If you need 10 ink heads I suggest buying them yourself. They are Oce parts, not third party.

Pauly, I don't want to get in a pissing match with you but we've heard it all from Oce/Canon and honestly it seems more of a Canon issue. They have been terrible in the customer service department. I specifically purchased this printer due to its reputation, award winning results and the...

they have tried all of those things, air in the lines, head height, UV banding, I was even told that the ink is evaporating before it can get to the media due to the bulb temp....we've heard it all. I understand that this may be a new or unfamiliar product to the service provider but Oce/Canon...

I'd love to hear how all of our banding issues with the white and color are our fault, you sound like the Canon guys. I've got saved nozzle checks at 100% and 5min later the print starts banding. I've got prints that start out looking great, 1/3 into the print they start banding. I've got print...

Over 50 service calls in four years, the service contractor has replaced so many parts on this machine that we didn't break they have dropped our service contract. Main motherboard was fried, ink leaks, ink banding in white, ink drips, ink banding in color, etc,etc. This particular machine is...

I feel it is a huge issue. I don't know how many pieces of material have been wrecked due to lamps heating up the material and it strikes the print head. I've registered temps as high as 135 degrees on the surface of a print. The way to avoid this is to use the vacuum bed...with 100% suction...

Is Vanguard that guy down in GA that builds them?

We're working with a customer who wants a very large, very complex, 15' tall by 14' wide by 4' deep 3D feature for a billboard. She thinks we are outrageously priced and I've talked to a national billboard company about 3D pieces and he thinks were very over priced. I recently came across an...

We've had an Oce Arizona 360XT for about 4 years now and it's really been nothing but problems. Lamps heating up material, white ink banding, neutral gray banding, outrageously expensive parts, expensive lamps, expensive ink heads, utterly poor service from Oce, etc. etc. etc. Oce and the local...

So you can order an acrylic backer from Chemetal? Or are they just ordering the Chemetal in 4x8 sheets and laminating it in house to whatever substrate you order? What do you think? Thank you

We've used and still use Gemini Signs for a lot of cast metal letters, plastic letters etc. They have access to some materials I've never seen from another vendor like brushed aluminum laminated to an acrylic substrate or foam substrate like Ultraboard. They also have a huge amount of metal...

For our printer is was a blown pump dampener that caused the error. It's some unit in front of the coolant pump to save it from over pressure. This was blown completely and was leaking coolant all over the inside of the cover. The dampener was very expensive. While this cover was off we noticed...

Tim - I totally agree, when they showed me the picture of this sign and said what the budget was, my gut said no way. I appreciate the input, I just want to make sure I'm not missing an easy material application. The signs basically look really basic in construction but the thing that gets me is...
