  1. My supplier will be ND Graphics but which of the following materials would you use and why?

    No, I have no experience wrapping and to be honest it's not something that I plan to actively pursue in the near future (except for personal use for learning/practice, but not for "sale"). I just had asked for a vinyl with repositioning properties for vinyl decals & eventually wraps. I want to...

  3. Cutter to first vinyl printer...

    Rumour has it that a latex machine is the way to go if you're looking at having your equipment sitting idle for any amount of time. Days - weeks. Sent from my SM-S906W using Tapatalk
  4. Looking for my first printer

    Curing time is also a factor. Honestly it's the biggest factor. I'm tired. Just finished night shift. Brains not fully engaged.
  5. Looking for my first printer

    Mainly the smell. UV & Latex are allegedly less stinky. What did you buy? How do you like it?
  6. Looking for my first printer

    ND Graphics is my dealer. Closest is a 2.5 hour drive. No, I've never had a wide format printer before. I've been a vinyl cutter nerd and I have larger aspirations than it will allow. It's a home based business that I can run on my days off (I work in Northern Alberta in an oilfield camp...
  7. Looking for my first printer

    I'm just going with what my local (ish) supplier has recommended & I'm not even sure if he handles Epson. I'll be printing decals on vinyl & on banner material. I'd like very good to great resolution (I'll notice it if no one else does) as far as ruling out the Epson r series, I can't really say...
  8. Looking for my first printer

    I've narrowed down from my original idea of a Roland TrueVIS to a Mimaki UCJV300 or HP 115 printer/cutter combo but I've seen alot (well... Too many criticisms for me) of folks saying the latex machine's prints are grainy. If you have experience with these machines, can you help a guy out? Do...
  9. Will a properly set up HP 115 latex printer print grainy images?

  11. Work flow for printing movie poster sized art, desperately need mentoring!

    I'm looking at buying a 54" tru-vis print/cut and I'm wanting to print art on rolled paper at a size of 27"x40". Would I be best suited to buy paper pre-cut to 40"? What mechanism would you use for clean edge cuts separating pieces? If anyone has any experience in this or has a link to something...
  12. Looking for help on choosing media

    Is there a benefit to sticking with a single brand? Example, oracal vinyl & oracal laminate vs oracal vinyl @ 3M laminate? Are they actually designed in-house to work better with their own products or is that just a sales line? Sent from my SM-S906W using Tapatalk
  13. Looking to buy a laminator

    Is the 54" not still available? Their website only shows up to 51". Sent from my SM-S906W using Tapatalk
