  1. Plastic for Outdoor Real Estate Signs

    I am not sure what happened, but haven't been able to find Komadur or Vycom which we have used in the past for outdoor hanging real estate signs. UV stable, solid core plastic. Anyone know why it is no longer available? Do you have another material you suggest? The beauty of the two brands I...

  4. Best Paint for MDO

    We have traditionally used 1-Shot for our MDOs, but have not been able to get it in white for the past year and a half and have used Ronan's Bulletin Enamel white. We notice that oils from hands are harder to clean off of the Bulletin than the 1-Shot Lettering Enamel, and this matters when we...
  5. Gerber Edge 2 not taking up foil as prints

    Our Gerber Edge 2 is not taking up the foil while it prints. If you open it, the advance button does take it up, however, as of today if the lid is only opened a small amount it does not take up the foil. I am guessing we need to replace the Take Up Clutch. But if any one has other suggestions...
  6. Affordable Shipping Reference for Large Panels

    We use UPS for most shipping needs, FedEx occasionally, but recently we had a customer wanting us to ship a 4'x8' MDO sign. We searched and priced around and ended up using a company called T-Force (basically a division of UPS) as UPS was high and T-force Freight was a quarter of that -...

  8. Question UV Printing on MDO

    Printing on MDO panels painted white with 1-Shot. On pastel areas handprints show up - seems to be oils left behind when my substrate guy handled them. Cleaning these with alcohol before printing dulls the finish and would be difficult to to leave streak free. Anyone have any tips on a better...

  11. Discussion Looking to Sell 2012 CET Xpress Q Series

    We have made a decision to sell our 2012 CET Xpress Q Series flatbed printer. The unit was purchased new at the beginning of 2013 and we have records of maintenance and repairs going back to that time.

  12. CET White Ink Issues

    Need Help. We replaced our original white Ink head several months ago as we lost many nozzles and it was banding badly. New head printed well at first, but then suddenly only the middle half printed during test prints. Now we have nothing printing and ink does not come out when priming. We have...
  13. Ink not adhering to panels

    Having trouble on flatbed printer, printing on a slick material such as aluminum composite or komacel and then laminating, the entire print (ink and laminate) wants to peel cleanly off the material.
