I've never used either of these, so I'm curious about their precision. Which one is easier to learn? Are there any benefits of using one over the other? I'd appreciate any insights you can offer.

No one have an opinion?

I have an opportunity to buy a used SawTrax C52VP for $800 or a new Milwaukee track saw that would end up around the same price with the accessories. I like the idea of the SawTrax because it allows me to add accessories to cut other materials like Coroplast and V-grooves on Dibond. I know the...

Other than the paint booth, can you give me a rough cost for a starting setup?

I like the bakers racks idea. And yes, I know there is a minimum to mix paint. I've tried to find a way or maybe another manufacturer to get smaller batch, but everyone is around the same. I'm trying to create a checklist of everything I will need to be able to paint my stuff (all the tools...

I like the idea for that part. I found one that is 24inx50in.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to set up a small-scale paint station for painting laser-cut acrylic parts—mainly small pieces and lettering, usually under 12"x12" (rarely up to 24"x24"). I don’t need a full paint booth, but I do understand that I’ll need a proper ventilation setup and a paint spray...

Murals are my main business. Drytac retac is our go to material. If you need a laminated version, choose retac lite with the pro lamination. work perfectly. If you need something with more grip, the polar version is very good. Get a sample the of drytac paper fleece smooth. It's like a thick...

Another vote for the kala mistral. I have it for 3 years now and really love it.

There is a possibility you have dried ink in your tubes. If so, you will have to flush them with something like alcohol or change the whole tubes system. But in your place, I would work on the printhead first to fire them out then do a couple of cleaning cycle plus a heavy ink print. Then...

Seems a good deal, but I'm located in Canada.

I’m ready to move up from my manual grommet press to something semi‑automatic—or maybe fully automatic—without breaking the bank. That’s why I’ve been checking out some budget‑friendly Chinese models. Below are two options I’ve found online: Semi‑automatic press – ≈ $300 Fully automatic press...

I've had the 700w for around three years now and never had any problems with it. Last fall, HP issued a recall on the tubes and motherboard (I think), and everything was done for free, even though the machine was out of warranty. The technician had to replace the tube system 24 hours later due...

I use synthetic poster paper for studs (we always have this in stock) and laser cut cardboard for flat. For flat, we were using low tac material. But the time to cut and premask then lay it out on the job site was alot more time consuming than cardboard.

This is their smaller bed. I'm looking for their bigger one with all the options. Plus they made an update recently. I've been in communication with them since december and made them print a couples of examples. So far it's interesting. Good to know about alibaba. I will make sure to order...
