I didn't have time for anything else. It was very difficult to find anyone that could CNC what I needed in short order. Aluminum couldn't happen because there's not enough support in the wall to handle the weight, I don't order aluminum extrusions on any kind of regular basis, and the powers...

Since this shadow box needed to have a pull-out drawer on either side, I made a frame and drawers of 6mm PVC sandwiched between two layers of .030 impact styrene. There will be Teflon tape to help with any friction on the drawers and the top layer of styrene will be held to the PVC frame with...

HDU was chosen because of immediate avaialbility and need to wrap the finished product. We're a sign shop for a major University and don't do any in-house wood working. Most of our work is anything and everything printed, as well as ADA compliant signage galore. This is just a very special...

I've been assigned a very unfortunate job by someone extremely high up at the place where I work. The assignment, a 42" x 84" shadow box from 20# HDU. I've designed all internal elements to be attached to the wall separately, so the HDU frame will only be supporting a piece of .25" acrylic that...

I need vivid reds and blues for sure, and bright with is essential as well. As for color profiling, I definitely see us having to buy an i1. Still not absolutely rolling out the 630, just can't find much info regarding reliability at this point.

Thank you for the feedback. So, I'm not really sold on the HP 630W as one of my favorite features of the 360 is the built-in color profile creation, and with that gone, I'm more open to solvent printers once again. In considering the two comments above in favor of the Epson 80600, is there any...

I'm looking for some recommendations to replace the Latex 360 we're currently using in our shop. We've had to make several repairs to it over the years and since I work for a university, they would rather replace than repair it. Working here was my first experience using a latex printer, but I...

It was either the encoder strip or encoder sensor that was the problem. I replaced them both and after performing calibrations, the printer works like new.

I believe it's the encoder strip and/or sensor. I completely cleaned the encoder strip again with water and then removed the encoder sensor and blew it with uncompressed air. The carriage travelled the entire bed length this time, but collided with the right side of the machine on its return to...

I've installed all parts for the Latex 360 Service Maintenance Kit 3 and when I reassemble and initiate the machine, the carriage stops roughly 3/4 of the way across the bed and error 86:01 appears. I've tried restarting the printer with the carriage on the right and the left side of the bed and...

We use matte laminate because the boxes aren't glossy to begin with and we're going for camouflage more than anything else.

We make new safety stickers and place over the top of the wrap.

Because the panels are located near the front desk of the campus IT department which has students in and out all the time. We have our own electricians as well that are assigned to certain buildings, so their locations never come into question.
