  1. Slitting Options...

    Thank you.
  2. Slitting Options...

    Maybe I am overthinking this and could just use a band saw to cut the rolls down.
  3. Slitting Options...

    We have always ordered out roll labels, but our largest client is wanting to shift their roll label printing over to us and they notoriously have tight deadlines that wouldn't allow ordering out. We have a wide format printer, a roll to roll laminator and a Summa ST2 cutter that we could use to...
  4. Cyan Blobs and contamination...

    They tend to be mostly in the center portion and are about the size of a BB and there are sporadic. I am going to try and clean everything. We have a company cat, so there is always the possibility of fur having gotten in something.
  5. Cyan Blobs and contamination...

    We have a 6 month old S40600 that has been lightly used as large format is a market we are expanding into. Sometimes we don't run the machine for a week or two. So far we are on our third set of ink cartridges to give you an idea of the usage. I noticed this morning that when I ran a head test...
  6. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

    We are a commercial printer that started out with Aqueous wide format and only recently installed a Solvent printer, laminator and cutter. I am constantly questioning what I should or shouldn't laminate. Our largest signage customer gets dozens of double sided posters on polystyrene and roll-up...
  7. First Laminator Question GFP

    We had no training. I have learned by watching the videos they had, but wasn't sure what happened with too much or too little temperature.
  8. First Laminator Question GFP

    We got the GFP355 laminator and had a rush job to laminate. I managed to bumble my way through laminating a 3x4 foot poster without any issues, but wondered if anyone could tell me what temp settings I should be using. I just used 2 for temp and speed, but it was a stab in the dark.
  9. Question Tips for Keeping Dirt off Plastic....

    Yes. We occasionally print on .030 styrene, but it is kind of a pain in the rear. We mostly use .020 from Grimco and it runs great. The print is durable and it looks great. You do have to make sure it doesn't come off the paper sensor since it is so rigid. I put a sheet of paper over it to trick...
  10. Question Tips for Keeping Dirt off Plastic....

    We have become inundated with a few clients that want everything printed on 20 and 30 pt polystyrene. We run it on our Epson S40600 and the results are fantastic. The only real problem is that it attracts lint, dirt and hair like a magnet. We currently take each 4x8 foot sheet and wipe it down...
  11. 4 pass vs 4 pass high quality in Onyx...

    We have only used 4 pass High Quality since we got the printer. Does anyone know what the difference is between the "4 pass" setting and the "4 Pass High Quality"? Epson S40600

    We are using the profiles downloaded from the EDGE dashboard.
  13. Double Sided Banner Materials...

    How do I order a roll?
  14. Double Sided Banner Materials...

    36-40" width for an Epson S40600
  15. Double Sided Banner Materials...

    We have a client that gets double sided banners for their roll up stands. We have tried Solit 500 and Bantex, but both seem to have surface defects scattered around the back side of the material which shows up in large floods of ink, which our clients loves. Can anyone recommend a product that...
  16. Need Cutter Advice...

    I am using an Onyx Thrive 19 RIP, so this wouldn't be compatible. I was hoping we could just print the prints, laminate them and then feed them into the cutter last. Would I still need it to be compatible with the RIP?
  17. Need Cutter Advice...

    I run a commercial print shop and we have a couple Epson S40600 printers. We currently outsource anything that needs cutting, but have a client that needs same or next day service on signage that will need simple cuts. Circular decals primarily, maybe some other simple designs. After a few...
  18. What's the perfect resolution for a larger poster print?

    Why would you even consider running this on an inkjet? Offset would be the way to go for that quantity.
  19. Resolution Settings Explanation

    We have been using 4 pass and there is no banding.
