  1. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    I don’t know of any freelance FSE’s in my market, and I’ve looked. Trotec is an Austrian company, while,they do have offices in the US, they don’t specifically state where their lasers are manufactured. They simply say that they manufacture in Austria, Germany, and the USA. That is pretty vague...
  2. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    Yes, the OEM behind the X-33 is Nocai. And yes, I could have bought a Nocai directly from Alibaba, but I would have had to install it and set it up myself. I would have no support from either Xante or my dealer, and I wouldn't have the Xante IQueue software, which I personally love. The fact...
  3. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    Yes, they're in Mobile, AL, so they are fairly close to me. However, I know another X-33 owner in Houston, TX, who had an onsite last week. Not sure if it was a Xante employee or a dealer tech. From my conversations with the support guys there, I gathered that they often fly techs around...
  4. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    I have the X-33, and I've had it since late January.
  5. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    I've opened three tickets since I've owned it. Two were trouble issues, and one was a general how-to question. All tickets were responded to within 90 minutes of opening. One trouble ticket was solved remotely. The other required an onsite visit, and the tech was in my office by 10:00 AM the...
  6. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    Yep, printed that today as a matter of fact! That’s a 300 dpi jpeg that the customer provided. I just cropped it and brightened it a smidge using the built in Windows editor and sent it to the printer. We’ve had the Xante since mid January and are still trying to find a good solution for the...
  7. Xante x-98 Thoughts

    I own the X-33 because I can’t fit anything bigger in my shop. The print quality is great. We do a lot of acrylic photos and it really excels at those. The two biggest issues we have struggled with are static and fumes. But those are primarily environmental issues with our building more than...
  8. Paper Distributor for South Alabama

    Does anyone know who the paper distributors are for South Alabama? I know MAC, but are there any others? Lindenmeyr Munroe isn't in this market, and they're the only other paper distributor I know of. Thanks!
  9. Wholesaler - Political Sign Templates

    Yep, signmaster.com
  10. New Roland VG2 - VG3 - SG2 - SG3 USERS -buyer beware, you cannot fix your own machine.

    thanks for making me aware of this as I was close to pulling the trigger on a Roland. Guess I’m back to Mimaki or HP.
  11. Prints on clear acrylic

    We just purchased a flatbed UV for this very purpose. We can do up to a 24x36 I’m house and the prints look absolutely amazing.
  12. Question Xante Flatbed Printer

    Ours just got installed last week. The image quality on acrylic is amazing. We had some issues with coraplast today because the humidity was too low, but some denatured alcohol seems to have taken care of it.
  13. Promoter UV-LED Printer

    I'd love to find one capable of cutting 24x36 with cardboard.
  15. Trade Print Services

    I've used printograph for years, but just like everyone else their level of service has suffered as late.
