  1. Threat of Closing this year...

    I didn't lose clients. My first latex is at least 7 or 8 years old, so I got an upgrade. I got an entry level flatbed, which actually saves me money on labor and supply cost because i'm not having to buy vinyl rolls or spending time mounting boards. Just like any other small business, I've taken...

  9. MIMAKI CF2 SERIES FLATBED CUTTER or Entry level flatbed cutter

    Hello All, Does anyone have any experience with the Mimaki CF2 flatbed cutter? I'm hoping to bring contour cutting in-house. When I try to outsource it locally in Chicago, the cost is too high and I can't compete once I mark it up. When I buy online, I have to buy a whole sheet so that doesn't...

  10. Suggestions Labels suggestions for Latex 360

    Hey, So I have a latex 360. I'm looking at upgrading my cutter to a "summa d140." I'm looking to get more use from my printer. I mostly do banners and posters (foamcore) now but i'm looking into maybe doing stickers/labels/decals. I asked my supplier about material for these jobs and he wasn't...
