I have purchased one roland printer. Never again.

Wet the back of app tape with rapid tac or comparable product to help tape release from graphic easier then heat again smashsmashsmash

Beat me to it. If other option is a shop with a 1500$ trip fee than your -400$ lift rental is not a problem. A lull with 2 man bucket could do it for overkill.

Very well could be.

Phototex. I would not use a vinyl product on sheetrock. I have so many murals up with it I can't begin to count them. Every one still sits perfect and can be removed in seconds with no residue or damage to wall.

3m blue. Not the cheapest tape in the world but what it saves in the solvent and elbow grease it takes to remove excess glue, it's worth it. I use it on signs and in my screen print shop.

Seems like adding more work to put those in a piece at a time instead of just doing at once. Just me.

+1 learn corel. If print and cut is all she does it will serve well. I started with paint brushes and have changed with the times. I can run signlab in my sleep, lol. Still have and use corel as well as illy and ps. Corel has excellent import filters for taking in customer files. Hell, signs...

You're the first screen printer on the thread, lol. You can still underbase with white, just one lick from non flooded screen. Nice and thin. It helps.. SOunds like maybe the OP should outsource to you. Just a suggestion from an old squeegee rat.

Signlab since the get. I have corel and all adobe but SL carries 99% of my workload.

Try Nazdar/Source One.

Last printer was an epson photopainter full solvent 64" roll to roll. I purchased a bn20 just to do labels. Next one, (of any size, if I buy another) will be another epson. Anytime it had trouble it got fixed under warranty. Roland billed me under warranty to fix a motherboard on a less than...

Epson. Bought my first and last roland two years ago just to have a small printer in the shop for minimal orders and specialty work, like my own labeling needs. Good machine, worthless warranty and service.

Worst thing that happened to my business this year was grimeco bought tubelite. Had a decades long history with them and it is toast. Instantly service and deliveries were gone and They wanted to use my credit card again. They have a terrible history of bookkeeping and accounting. No way I let...

Once Grimco bought Tubelite all the reasons we loved Tubelite disappeared. I now drive an hour each way to our local plastics house and get 99% of our substrate there. Heck, what Nazdar just did to a cartridge order for shipping is ridiculous. Sign of the times I guess. Didn't think I'd be the...
