We're not on a roll to roll, but having had all kinds of curing system problems on our R printer, the curing units accumulate dust quickly on our machine. I'd think after 2yrs you could definitely use a deep cleaning in there.

I was looking at it too, but I haven't gotten my hands on anything yet.

Anyone I've talked to about ACM with HP, they've always recommended laminating it. We've got a bunch to run soon and that's our plan on our end.

We just got a GFP 563TH and have been happy with it. We replaced a monster AGL unit that was a mess. We can't do hot melt lams with the GFP, but so far it hasn't hurt us in the least bit.

Yes, I would recommend the same. Complain to the vendor, complain to HP, it's the only way to get them to accommodate. I've had so many problems with my R2000, but I'm not quiet about it to HP. They can definitely send an applications engineer back to you to get the profiles and fine tuning...

Same, we use transfer tape all the time in the laser.

We use the GF 790 AE as well, been good to us with everything we've done with it on our latex printer or just plotter cut.

We have these problems on our R2000 too and my first check is always to check the outboard wiper. Not sure if the R2Rs are built the same way, but it's been a consistent hassle on the larger machines.

I love those inline fans! We use something similar on our laser and they're super quiet, but they flow pretty well.

Was just about to say the same thing... Forge is a pretty damned good example on how to thrive in the printing and display business.

I've got a whole new batch of tile gasket to put on the bed soon. I'll take a bunch of pics when I get to it and start a thread about it in the cnc forum.

It's adhesive backed. You mill the table clean & just peel and stick.

That looks like promising stuff too. I know what I like about the tile gaskets specifically is their holes. The vacuum is focused to enter through those holes so you can get incredible hold down on a part even if you've only got a couple of holes underneath. They've also cut the new stuff...

Yeah, they're gasketing stuff is good stuff. I swapped all my OEM AXYZ gaskets to All Star's stuff. I have found their sales staff is excellent at helping make decisions on what to order. They still follow up on us pretty regularly to see what issues we're having or how their product is...

I think that's a mixed bag. I print loads of paper and we still run some overcoat even when we're film laminating. If I'm stacking up sheets of printed 18/24pt SBS off the printer it's getting scratched with zero overcoat, it's still getting scratches with 0.5-0.8 levels of overcoat. The film...
