  1. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    Hello. So it seems ever since it started getting really chilly this winter we've begun having issues with our Orajet 3164m developing bubbles, before we even print onto it, and only partway into the roll too which is very inconvenient. We use an HP Latex 110. The room rarely gets below 40 even...

    Hey Guys, Question for you all. I have a small sign shop in WV and have an in-house cutter but have always outsourced my prints mainly due to space restrictions at my location. I have a wholesale supplier for my intermediate vinyl prints but not for my cast stuff. (if you know of anybody...
  3. Need Help Oracal 651 or 751 for engineered wood

    We're preparing to install a wall graphic. We're using a high tack for the printed components. But, there is a broad purple stripe that makes better sense to use a calendered vinyl.

  10. Thermal printing 2.5 mil vinyl

    So I purchased a gerber edge as an entry level printer. Im very satisfied with the outputs, and what my current plans are for it. My question is I'm printing mostly on oracal 651 right now. That is 2.5 mil thick and it just seems too thin for application without tape, so I have been "laminating"...
