Yep. Mine was completed a couple weeks go. Looked like they replaced almost all of the internal components. You should be getting a second box as well, about 1/4" of the size of the pallet one.
I'm trying to print on a 5mil Clear Acetate material with a white spot undercoat. I've traditionally done this on our Arizona but it would be so nice if I could get it functioning on the 700W. When I printed a test on a Orafol clear adhesive vinyl (with liner) it came out beautiful. When I used...
Thank you for your reply! This was just a 10' sample roll we received a few weeks ago directly from DryTac, I guess it's possible that it had been in their warehouse for awhile? Unfortunately I can't test the advancing because I already ran out of roll. I'll order a full roll and cross my...
So, I think the biggest issue I've had with this printer is the lack of profiles. I have a large job to print on DryTac SpotOn Matte, but I'm having wrinkling issues while printing. I am currently using the DryTac SpotOn Clear profile, but when I started printing test pieces there is consistent...
Crown is a new term for me. Thanks. The manual doesn't mention crown, but it sounds like pretty much all laminators today have a crown. I just checked with three strips of 3/16 material and it looks like there is a big pressure difference across the nip. Left strip freely moves, center is firm...
There is a subtle waviness to the UltraBoards, the certainly not as much as a corrugated plastic. I think I may try running them through the machine at a tighter setting prior to coating to see if it will improve at all.
Thanks for your response.
I've used side-strips before. But there wasn't much overlap for that job to warrant it (~1.5" on each side).
Bubbling is indeed between adhesive and board (not adhesive and liner).
Never thought of perforating prior to coating. Not sure how I'd go about doing that effectively and uniformly (I...
Hello. I have a GBC Spire III 64T. I am trying to coat boards of 3/16" 'Ultra-Board' with 'Drytac M-Tac' white mounting adhesive. It's 51" roll adhesive and my boards are cut 48" wide.
I am getting serious bubbling on the left and right sides, effectively ruining most of the board (middle 32"...
Started the thread for the shadowing issue, but I've learned a lot about Onyx and Spot colors as a side benefit! I got the 'Define Layers' to work fine, I think my problem was a combination of not having 'Overprint Fill' on in Illustrator, and not having the Spot1 layer as the top layer... This...
I'm not clear on what you mean by trap, or how to go about it...
This is what I just set up to try to test (with no success):
I currently have a PDF, outputted from Illustrator, with a white layer named 'Spot1'.
In 'Spot Channel Replacement' I changed the Document Spot Color Name to 'Spot1'...
Ok, I'll explore what I can do with the head alignment, thank you.
Whenever I've printed both at once the colors never come out right, the colors always seem muted/overpowered by the white. Attached is an example of the same file sent with 'Fill Image Area' on the Spot color rather than...
I'm having issues with the alignment of a white undercoat and color top coat.
I regularly print on dark substrates. When I do, I make one file with a solid fill and use that as the spot color, then run a separate file with the color to print on top of the white. On fine detail prints (text...
The airflow was already 700, so I maxed it out at 750.
I tried a SAV profile, same cracking effect.
The profile I created, 20 pass with the heat and airflow cranked seems to have worked! Going to print the batch now and see if it works consistently.
Thanks again for your help!
