  1. Will a properly set up HP 115 latex printer print grainy images?

    HP Latex is grainy. If you’re doing stickers I wouldn’t go for HP. I have two of them and they are not good at stickers. They are made for large prints but in my experience they are terrible at wall murals too. Panel to panel color consistency and length is not reliable. If you were to get an HP...
  2. Need Help I bought an R5070, and I need help

    What laminate are you using? I wouldn’t use that vinyl for a truck. I’d try 3m ij-180 with the correct laminate.
  3. Year end purchase

    We just spent 17k on an Epson R5070. Didn’t think we would buy a new printer but we’re tied of our HP Latex not printing consistent color. Too many hours trying to get color right. We hope the Epson does better!
  4. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    We’re using Flexi. It’s still not ideal. I wished cutting master worked on summa. I know Sai makes cutting master and flexi. They are similar but I like how you can send jobs directly from illustrator with cutting master. With flexi you have to open the file with their design software.
  5. Aslan printed etched glass laminate suggestions.

    We’re printing on Aslan DFL 302 etched vinyl. It dosn’t say what laminate can be used. Does anyone have any recommendations? We were thinking Avery 2080 because we like the matte look.
  6. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    Go Sign is terrible. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Compared to any other cutting software it has been the worst for us.
  7. Pealing Vinyl

    Would you walk because it’s an etched window or because it’s glass? Full window wraps are everywhere. It’s not an uncommon application? I was just in vagus for printing United and all of the casinos had some sort of wrap on their windows.
  8. Pealing Vinyl

    It has 3 months left and then it will be taken down. They don’t want any adhesive residue.
  9. Pealing Vinyl

    Thanks for your response. What would you recommend for a full coverage wrap on these windows? The same client wants to wrap all the windows in a clear vinyl to produce a stained glass look. Would ij180 clear with 8518 laminate work well?
  10. Pealing Vinyl

    It needs to be removable. It’s a temporary installation for a museum.
  11. Pealing Vinyl

    I don’t think so. It’s been a wile since we did this job. It’s was installed 6 months ago.
  12. Pealing Vinyl

    They haven’t washed their windows and we wiped them down with isopropyl alcohol before applying the vinyl.
  13. Pealing Vinyl

    Can anyone give me an explanation for why this vinyl is pealing. We installed this on the front glass of this building with etched windows. We used 3m ij 40C with 3m 8510 laminate. This building does get a lot of direct sun. We’ve wrapped these same windows in the past with no problem. Should...
  14. Question Need Mimaki UJV55-320 reviews pros cons

    Seems like if you have the space and budget the mimaki is the right machine. It would be great to have the option to print wide banners. I don’t know how mimaki handles there customers but I was a little turned off by the canon reps. Felt like I couldn’t get the answers I needed out of them. We...

    What’s your thoughts on the Epson Resin?

    What software do you use to run your summa?
  17. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    I have a summa st140 and a graphtec fc8600. We tend to use the graphtec more. I’m disappointed on how the summa is not user friendly at all. The software it comes with sucks and we now use flexi but that’s not too much better. If cutting master worked with the summa that would be awesome. The...
