  1. For Sale Colorado M5 Pro (with or without white) in stock and available to ship immediately

    We've got one last Colorado in stock which can ship out immediately and invoice in December should anyone be looking for a Colorado M5 under their tree. It can be set up as a M5 Pro or a M5W Pro. I'm not sure that I can get it installed and trained by December 31st, but likely early January...
  2. The annual question...how was business this year?

    I'm a distributor....we had a great year....BUT....it was successful year due to winning some massive jobs. It seems like the everyday "three rolls of matte vinyl" business has really slowed down in the last few months. I'd rather have a record year full of that easy consistent business than...
  3. Buying my next printer

    That normally is a good approach, but the UV Gel ink used in the Canon Colorado has flexibility and is approved by 3M for wraps. If you want to ever test out a panel I can set up a print test and send you something to touch/feel/stretch/stick etc.
  4. Buying my next printer

    It is fully approved by 3M for wraps. I have several customers who wrap all day, every day with the unit.
  5. Opinion Grimco in the PNW has gotten so much worse after their latest merger with TubeliteDenco

    Why not buy from Sonoma? They might cost a few bucks more but they've always been on the quality side.
  6. Buying my next printer

    Color consistency, speed, and cost of inks should put you right in the middle of a conversation for a Colorado M. Have you looked at those? The M series can be upgraded in speed and the ability to add features like white ink and flx finish if and when needed. The M3 Pro would give you great...
  7. Alternative to banners in a school gym?

    Try Synaps. It is fantastic. Super smooth and lays perfectly flat and doesn't curl at all. Also quite inexpensive. I can send you a test roll if you want to play around with some. The guy who does my kid's high school just moved over to Synaps and all of the parents were saying how much...
  8. GFP 663 TH Troubleshooting Help

    By looks you are absolutely applying way too much pressure. Think of a roller pin in your kitchen....if you press really hard on the handles (sides) then the middle is going to bow up...the same is true on your laminator where all of the pressure is being applied on the sides.....this explains...
  9. Vinyl Recommendation?

    Lots of gray area for walls...without knowing more I'll stay on the sidelines. As for windows, you should try Drytac's Polar Smooth 150 Air. It is AWESOME. 6mils thick with a clear removable adhesive on an air-egress liner. Cuts well, crazy easy to apply (charge your normal rate for...
  10. Question Who Makes Adhesive Vinyl With the Longest Shelf Life?

    Yes....most adhesive manufacturers will claim 2 years for shelf life. If it is in a consistent environment, despite the shelf life, the product will still work for many, many years....but in an environment where the temperature and humidity fluctuate, you'll see much shorter lifespans.
  11. Flat white ink and cost

    I'll send you a message to coordinate. My warehouse is in Elk Grove Village and I'll probably be there on Tuesday or Wednesday.
  12. 36" Optically Clear Laminate

    I have 3 year optically clear laminates for perf. The problem is the yield. 54"x100' rolls are $355.55 and 60"x100' rolls are $395. If you can live with 30" then you'll be saving a ton of money.
  13. 36" Optically Clear Laminate

    What characteristics do you need? If it is just for perf or something flat, I can provide you an optically clear polyester laminate that would do the trick.
  14. Flat white ink and cost

    If you have a sample or target you are trying to match, I'd happily come by next week and pick one up to see if any of my brands could hit the flat matte you are looking for.
  15. Lets discuss Roland Inks Eco-SOL Max, Max 2 and Max 3

    Honestly, I don't really know. I'm pretty sure it comes down to the colors. The original Max inks had CMYKlclm+w+silver. The Max 2 added light black and improved the white opacity. The Max 3 is for expanded color gamut units like the VF and it has red, orange, and green as options. The Max...
  16. Lets discuss Roland Inks Eco-SOL Max, Max 2 and Max 3

    As a Roland distributor, I've found the only ink I've consistently had a hard time sourcing are the Max 3 inks. I only have two users who need the Max 3...but I wish I didn't as there have been weeks delays.
  17. For Sale Seal Pro 62D For Sale

    I've got a customer in Chicago with an incredible Seal 5500 and 600D. No cuts in the rollers. He's looking for around $10K for the 5500 (multi-direction laminator, hot side and cold side...awesome unit) and just a few grand for the Seal 600 D. I sold these machines to this guy 20 years...
  18. What is Signs365?

    Not to say they are the only wholesale printer who does this, but they use quality materials across the board. I can't speak to the banner referenced above, but they are wildly consistent with their offerings and products they use. I think it is an impressive company who turns things around...
  19. Aslon Dry Erase Vinyl Installation

    applying laminate by hand, as you know, is nearly impossible. I'd happily quote you on an entry level GFP laminator or introduce you to a customer of mine in Chicago selling off their old, but pristine, Seal 600D. We are based in Cleveland and can help get you up and running.
  20. Helmet Decals

    Pick up a Roland VG or SG print+cut machine. They aren't too expensive, easy to operate, and you can print, then laminate, then put it back into the printer and cut everything out. If you are in the midwest, I can send you pricing on some of the models if you want to have a conversation...and...
