We currently use a HP Latex 560 and we are looking for recommendations for a new roll to roll printer. We print mainly wall murals and films both clear and frosted. We use a Mimaki flatbed for our substrate printing and love the white ink option. If anyone has an opinion on new printers that...

We have used the Mactac B-free clear, frosted and dusted films for years. We mainly use them to print names on clear or frosted and apply to acrylic panels. Each year the names are updated and we would remove the film and replace with the new printed film. The film would come off the acylic...

Thanks for everyone posting their experiences. We believe the wall was not prepped and cleaned properly for the primer coat. Since the primer coat was not bonding properly the top coat and graphic would peel away from the drywall or compound. The contractor is going to add a layer of drywall...

We are producing a adhesive back wall mural for our client and having issues with the paint. The graphic wall test is failing with the top coat peeling and coming off with the graphic. We are in Maryland and they do not sell oil based primers such as Kilz which is what 3M recommends. Does...

I am looking for the best sites to sell used large format printers. Are there free classified websites available or do they all have a membership cost?

Thanks for all the advise, we made sure the client knew we did not recommend applying the letters so quickly. They still wanted us to install so they are up for now with VHB goop and we applied some 3m primer 94 to the wall.

What are some sites to post an add for a used HP Latex 26500?

They are just under 1/2" thick and just under 4" tall.

We are applying acrylic dimensional letters to a freshly painted drywall. We are using VHB tape and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on cure time. Our client has an event and is looking to install the letters 3 days after the painting was completed. Any suggestions or advice would be...

We are using a new Mimaki JFX200 to print directly to a red Formica laminate. We were wondering what type of cleaners can be used to clean the finished prints from dust, fingerprints etc... Are there any cleaners that work better and is anything off limits?

Big Ben, Robert is correct the Oce 365 GT is $110,000 and the Mimaki is $85,000. We are going with the Mimaki as our first flatbed printer. We would like it to be faster but with our production workflow we can work around the speed issue. Next issue is picking between the inks. We feel ink...

We have been researching flatbed printers and have narrowed the search down to the Mimaki JFX200-2513, Oce Arizona 365 GT and the Jetrix KX5. We produce graphics for hospitals, universities, corporate interiors, museums and trade show exhibits. High quality resolution and ink adhesion are...

We are looking at the Mimaki JFX200, Oce 318GL, and HP FB500. We are looking for the variable dot for the quality so that will most likely rule out the HP. We tested the Mimaki and like the gradients and photo quality but hear they are slow and the inks do not adhere well to Dibond and acrylic...
