Fletcher FSC Substrate Cutter, come get it. These are $4,536.89 new (plus shipping). The sliding handle "blade holder" part is wobbly and needs a rebuild. They sell rebuild parts. We attached it to a wall. I don't know if I can locate the 3rd leg needed to do a freestanding installation. It...

Fletcher FSC wall cutter. Well-used. Needs rebuild kit as the head has slop to it. $4000 new. $450. You pick it up though. We're in central Illinois.

The heads start out flat, then over time they always develop 4 lines of dimpled-in groves over the nozzles. The 4 lines are always spaced perfectly the same (same gaps, same quantities). The yellow line shows what a head strike should look like as it goes the direction of the printing and has a...

Lets say you're printing on highly reflective banner-like material on a UV flatbed. When you look at something printed solid black (over orange reflective) it looks orange-ish black as some of the orange comes through the black. This is when you view it in a darkened room with a flashlight on...

Does anyone have experience with both the Vanguard VK300D flatbeds and the Canon Océ Arizona 2260 XT? I like the idea of the LED lamps on the Vanguard. Looks like the Arizona 2260XT lamps need replaced every year. Then again, I like the fact that the Arizona did not get spun out by people...

Is anybody flatbed printing with UV lamps turned OFF; then, doing the UV cure as a separate step? They have the UV cure machines that screen printers use. They typically have a Conveyor belt that takes the wet print under the UV dryer to cure the ink. I'm considering this as a way to do lots...

We've hand two sign supply vendors go "direct to consumer" with online web-stores or etail channel sales (ebay/etc). It is good that road signs have become a small percentage of our business. Are you experiencing the same thing?

Is anybody else using the CET K2 1000 "Everest" flatbed with the Kyocera heads? If so, do you have adhesion issues? If you don't think that you do, have you tried wiping a recent print with any liquid cleaners? Even water will remove it to some degree. They're looking for a fix and said...

Our Edge FX sounds like it is about to print and then it quits. It hums and pulls about half an inch of vinyl and then stops. It does the same thing if I hit "test print" on the unit or if I send it a print job from the computer. Could it be a bad power supply going to the head? Something...

CET Ink line filters that are $50 each OEM.. are only $2 each from SignChina. Well. they look identical anyhow. Has anyone been brave enough to try them? How'd it go? Like these... http://www.sign-in-china.com/products/15077/spectra_polars_pq_512_printhead_filter.html

These are foils for an edge or edge 2. I looked on eBay and they seem to be going for about $25 to $45. Some of these are unopened but most are open and have some use. So, I'm thinking $1000 for all 80 ($12.50 each). message me if interested. -Tom

Has anyone with a CET Flatbed ever experienced gloss banding issues? If so, what was your fix or did you just switch to printing at slower higher pass print mode? Talking about results like this... (see solid filled dark blue in attached image). That area isn't suppose to have large stripes...

We want to use paper for overspray on full bleeds. I know we could just print on the bed and scrape it off, but we want to do it differently. So, VACUBOND Paper -vs- regular craft paper from the hardware store for vacuum table protection (and registration). I see the product called VACUBOND...

LED UV Cure -vs- mercury lamp UV Cure. If you've had machines with both, how would you compare? Was adhesion better or worse with one over the other?

We recently got a printer with LED UV cure lamps. It is OK, but adhesion could be better on coro I was looking around online and saw two sites that made it sound like UV and UV-LED-Cure inks are two different things. http://www.directcolorsystems.com/inkjet/uv-led-inks.php...

Does anyone use a Screen Printers UV Conveyor Dryer on digital flatbed prints? Did it help with adhesion? I'm saying that you'd take a print that was cured by your digital flatbed, but you need better adhesion. Our new flatbed's prints sometimes need a secondary cure especially on items that...

Will your CET flatbed (or any brand printer flatbed prints) wipe off with alcohol? We're getting a new CET installed today and went to wipe off a mark on a finished print with a rag with alcohol on it and noticed we could remove ink. It didn't just fall off, but it did come off. The harder we...

Paid over $85k in 2011. Why only $3000 .. is it broken? No, we use it every day. We're upgrading in two weeks and don't have the room for this CAT-UV after the upgrade. Also, as you likely know.. Gerber quit making flatbed printers and so the long term availability of parts and such is...

Gerber CAT-UV flatbed printer for sale. This machine was $80k+ when we purchased it in 2011. Ours has the roll-feed add-on. Prints a full 5'x10'. We use it all day every day. The only drawback (other then the fact that Gerber quit making them) is the speed. We need something faster. It...

Gerber FX -vs- Summa DC5sx There are some jobs that just require a thermal printer. For example, we use transparent foil prints on clear vinyl as an overlay on reflective signs. It reflects much brighter than any kind of inkjet overlay. Anyhow, I can get either of these two printers for the...
