    We print styrene all the time with our CET...no adjustment to the lamps and it is perfectly fine you should have no problems.
  2. Printing On Glass

    Just to throw it out there...we run a CET500 and I print on glass all the time but they are only samples that a company does not put to use (other than to show Target). Thank God, because I still have not found a way to print on glass and not be able to just simply scrape it off with my...

    We were having some issues with our takeup on our Mutoh VJ1624. We were getting head strikes at the end of long runs. Chris and his assistant came in today and fixed us up in no time! Just wanted to give a shout out for the great service and quick response. Thanks guys!
  4. Printing on metal help

    We use sericol for better adhesion...also a double hit of ink with the black to make increase the density of ink allowing no transparancy. Hope this might help!
  5. is this a static or heat issue?

    We have had similar problems with our machine. I am not familiar with your machine but what I did was take the rollers out and let them soak over night in alcohol (99%...you can water it down a little). Then wipe them off with a soft cloth and put them back in. Also, heat plays a little bit...
  6. Printing white on black foamcore

    Maybe try either turning up the light intensity...or you could change the shutter sequence so that both lamps are hitting it at one time.

    That is just the example of the file that is not where the sign is going... this is going to be an indoor standoff sign out of brushed aluminum. He wants some parts lit up white and some red.

    Okay so my friend wants a standoff sign about 6' wide by maybe 2.5-3' high out of brushed aluminum.... What I will do is get his logo and company name router cut out of the brushed aluminum from a buddy of mine with a router. This is no problem, but here is where I do not have much experience...
  10. CET FK512 (black printing like dust)

    That is really weird I have never had that problem... I would think you are right i would think its the ink. Especially if it is only in the black.
  11. CET FK512 (black printing like dust)

    Hey Artbot, This might not be helpful but you might want to try turning the voltage up in your black ink. we have had similar type problems and it seemed that the solution was to turn up the voltage a little. Is the black just printing in a big haze?
  12. SGIA 2012 and CET

    We have been with CET from the beginning... We had their 5th printer made. I can say today I am very happy with CET and their service. They have come a really long way! Don't get me wrong they have always been more than willing to help but i think they grew more than expected and faster than...
  13. What is your company workflow is like ?

    I like what you said Gino...some people just don't have that personality though to be confrontational. I say this because this is how my dad is...me on the other hand I get fired up sometimes when people are showing up late and doing bad work. I get fired up because I am the guy who cleans up...
  14. Dusted Crystal, Frosted Vinyl....

    I just recently did a job like this and used our thicker matte laminate and it actually turned out looking really good and it was pretty easy to work with. Try it sometime the people we did the job for loved it.
  15. mounting with laminator issue?

    My laminator does the same thing so I have been just mounting by hand on the real skinny pieces. One thing you could do though is try to calibrate it. I adjust the pressure on each side so they are even; then line my material up in the center of the rollers. Then, i draw a line with pencil on...

    Good Luck! We just got rid of one...If they do not know the at least some of the business and materials do not hire that is my suggestion. We hired a woman who knew just about everyone in this area because she used to work at a local newspaper and sold ads for years and she couldn't sell our...
