  6. Dealing with bowed material

    that is a great idea and even thought about it; however, at this time we do not have the proper space to store 4'x8' sheets, nor manpower to cut right now-we're an in-house printshop so there are several layers for purchases, etc. we have to go through..maybe in the near future
  7. Dealing with bowed material

    at one time it was and we changed for the very same reason...this is a local vendor who is super helpful and easy to work with so that's a huge plus!
  8. Dealing with bowed material

    I have inquired with vendor to see if they're shearing and they are...he did tell me he would do a better job of policing to try and get flatter pieces...
  9. Dealing with bowed material

    it's possible vendor is shearing...not exactly sure though - or if they can cut another way with their setup - I can certainly check though.
  10. Dealing with bowed material

    yes, we are printing pre-cut pieces - 5x7, 10x14, 12x18, 14x18...etc. we do lay other material over any open holes in zones where the vacuum is turned on..unfortunately, the vacuum power is greatly lacking on the Roland. before we bought this Roland flatbed, we had a Teckwin PQ300 that had...

  13. Dealing with bowed material

    any thoughts or suggestions on dealing with bowed material for flatbed printing when vacuums won't hold down to bed? we have a Roland VersaUV LEJ-640 flatbed and we raise the head height as high as we can while still keeping our bi direction in register and we use double sided tape, but some...
  14. Employee Morale

    we do "music breaks" - when we can and workload allows. taking 15 min at end of day, i have everyone gather together to either listen to a randomly drawn song that I had the employees write down earlier - or - i pick one popular song like Blue Suede Shoes and then have a playlist of all the...
  15. 3 mil polypropylene vinyl - eco-solvent printing

    I've decided to just let them order this Super-Stik product online. since we're an in-house shop for just our Company, we're not really loosing business per se and it's safer to let them order from the company that's promoting this type of adhesive for just a few labels rather than us trying to...
  16. 3 mil polypropylene vinyl - eco-solvent printing

    looking for a 3 mil polypropylene vinyl that can be printed on with eco solvent inks and/or UV inks. has to have these properties. Aggressive adhesive back allows the sign to be securely posted even on textured, oily, greasy and dirty surfaces. Material Properties Conforms well to irregular...
  17. Best UV Flatbed out

    curious if the vacuum on this model really holds material down well? on our current Roland LEJ-640 UV flatbed it has 4 different "zones" however, we've found the vacuum to be quite poor - we have to cover all holes on bed in order to create more "vacuum" to pull down or hold material.
  18. Just curious what prints on ACM.

    we have a Roland LEJ-640 UV flatbed, not hybrid, true flatbed, and we print .040, .080 aluminum, coroplast, foamboard, 3mm ACM, 30 mil magnet all the time - setup with CMYK+White+UV Gloss. All signage for the most part is for outdoors our in our plants throughout the US.
