Coro for fb500

[Turnergraphics]

I'm running a 25% reject rate on some 18x24 coro . Does anybody have a source for really flat coroplast? Vacuum not doing the trick of holding down these warped pcs.

It varies quite a bit from vendor to vendor. Maybe try a larger sheet and cut it down? Even a 24x36 cut in half might make a big difference.

Let us know if we can help if you get a job you don't want to run inhouse.

Buy Coro made for printing, it tends to be flatter and prints better... It costs a bit more, but it's worth it when you're not rejecting 50% of the Coro.

We buy from laird - they use a brand that's made in canada... Not China. They talked us into the China stuff once and all the corners were bent, it was the thinnest / weakest shit we've ever used...we told them even though the Digital/Canada stuff was 40% more.... Never send us the China garbage again.

We pay $14 (cad, $11 usd) a sheet for it... And can sell it for $100+ once it's printed on, no reason to buy the cheapest garbage you can get.

Try and set your off contact head height higher . Had to do that a few times with more bowed Coro sometimes it helps but still need to make sure you aren’t too high

Yeah sometimes the cheap crap isn't worth it.

We've been testing out some random Chinese stuff (I think it's "Zobo Coroplast") and it prints ok but sheets are 48.25" x 95.75" which is a pain in the a$$. That extra 1/4" on the height and missing 1/4" on the width just results in files needing to be adjusted or extra trimming having to be done.

The only reason I'm trying it is the fact that we're getting it for $11/sheet based on bundles of 20 sheets. Used to pay that that price for skids but now even that's gone, for good quality corona treated coroplast.

Cheap little experiment but we'll probably go back to getting skids of the good stuff.
