If so, did anyone swing by the Zund stand and notice if they were showing a new laser head attachment and more powerful router for the G3 / S3? I've heard rumours of this but can't find any pictures, info, press releases, anything. Did anyone visit the Zund stand and notice? Thanks.

Hi, We need to install some flagpoles and it's not something we normally do. The total length of the poles are 6 meters (20 foot). They have a 600mm (2 foot) sleeve which is set into concrete. The pole then slides into the sleeve after the concrete is set. So the total height of the pole above...

Does anyone have an opinion on this machine? In short, you can use knife based tools, a router and a lazer all on one machine. It has a conveyor bed like a Zund but also a lazer bed which can be added over the top of the standard bed for cutting rolls of fabric or other stuff with the lazer...

Hi, We're just about to pull the trigger on a Zund G3 and just trying to finalise the last few details (it gets expensive). We're thinking of going for the 3XL (3.2M - 10ft) width but not sure on the length. Options are 2.5M (8ft) or 3.2M (10ft). The 3.2M adds about 10% to the price but means...

Hi, We're just about to buy a Zund G3 and are trying to decide what software we use for prepping the files. We use Caldera for our rip software and my understanding is that Caldera is capable of nesting the cut files, managing the cut paths, creating the necessary reg marks etc for the Zund...

Hi, Looking at buying a Zund and considering if a front extension would be helpful / essential / worth the price / floor space? Does it make removing cut items from the machine that much easier or faster? Does anyone have a G3 or S3 with a front extension and find it a useful feature? Or does...

Hi, We've been looking at flatbeds for a while and are at the point where we need to stop procrastinating and make a decision. Due to various reasons that I won't go in to these are the 2 models available to us. We want to print all kinds of display related products, Foam PVC, ACM, Acrylic...

Hi, For those of you with HP FB machines, did you take out the service contract after your initial warranty expired? Or do you just pay for repairs / fix it yourself when needed? Or do you have an insurance policy? Thanks.

Hi, Anyone have any experience of the Zund S3? We were looking at the G3 but budget is becoming an issue. Does the smaller bed length on the S3 cause any issues cutting stuff that's longer than the bed? When we had a demo, we cut some stuff that was longer than the bed and there was a...

Hi, To you guys who have used a HP FB machine... How do you print things like hoardings where graphics span more than one panel and need to line up across panel to panel? We demo'd a FB750 the other day and one test we did was to print some 8x4 sheets one after the other with graphics spread...

Does anyone here use a Jetrix flatbed? If so, how are you finding it? Pros? Cons, Reliability? Thanks.

We've been looking at flatbed printers for a while now and to free up some cash to buy a cutter at the same time we're considering buying a used machine. Options we're looking at are... 4 year old Fuji Acuity Advanced X2 (Printed 12,000 SQM) = £50K ($75K) 6 year old Vutek QS 3220 (had 2...

Hi, Do you guys use aluminium or bass stand off fixings? The aluminium are about half the price of the brass. Is there any reason not to use aluminium? Thanks. -------------------------- Aluminium...

Hi,We have a Roland RE-640 and have issues with colour.If we print one thing on Monday and then the same thing on Tuesday the colour is quite often different. All settings, artwork, print material all exactly the same but the colour can and often does vary.That on it's own is frustrating enough...

Hi, We're looking at flat bed cutters and trying to work out if a rolling bed option is something we need or want to spend the extra money on. We'll use the cutter for Foam PVC, Acrylic, Dibond and the other usual materials but we also do a fair amount of posters, banners etc and it would be...

Hi, We're trying to make a decision on a new flatbed printer and have narrowed it down to these two models. They're almost the same price give or take a couple of thousand. After the warranty expires, the service contracts are also very similar prices as well. Oce... +True flatbed +Higher...

Hi, We're looking for a method that will allow us to mount printed graphics to the inside of windows facing outwards without the silvering you sometimes get from the adhesive. I've heard a fair bit of conflicting info... I've read on here a few times that we need to use vinyl with an...

Hi, We're looking for a flatbed printer. Quite interested in the FB700 due to the reasonable price when considering the 2.5M print width. Are there any other machines around that sort of price range that will print that wide? If so could you point me in the right direction? Also is the FB700...

We have a whole load of 50M rolls of eco solvent prints that need to be outgassed before lamination. I've read the thread a bit further down the board about unfurling the roles and raising them up so the solvent can effectively fall out of the bottom. Is this really a necessary step to outgass...

Hi, We've just acquired a Roland printer and are literally printing our first job on it at the moment :smile: This is our first solvent or eco solvent printer so it's a bit of a learning curve. The problem we're having is that when printing solid dark colours at low pre heat / post heat...
