  1. I have a question about handtop uv hybrid print reverse function.

    really well stated. Nice work!
  2. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    I have to wonder why it appears only the black areas bubbled? Or is that just the way it looks in the picture?
  3. Need Help Roland XR640

    I've seen this happen if you don't put the ribbon cables back in their respective places....I don't believe Lexjet is going to give you any money back but of course you should try! Roland is extremely generous when it comes to swapping out heads which is why we've found it better to just get...
  4. FABRIC PRINTING WITH ROLAND PRO 4 XR-640

    There are a lot of fabrics which can be printed on. You can get canvas from Sihl or reach out to the likes of Top Value Fabrics. You need a top-coated fabric so the ink stays in the coating and doesn't dissipate into the fibers of the fabric. It is more expensive and less wrinkle resistant...
  5. Anyone have 3M 3645 floor laminate?

    I can't help you, but I'm curious as to why you used the 3M floor lam? What attributes sent you in that direction?
  6. UV ink cost

    You really can't compare liter to liter costs between UV printers. The gas mileage varies wildly. As an example, the Colorado inks per liter are $170 but the average cost-per-square is $.08/ft2. We also sell Fluid Color UV printers and their inks are $125/liter and most users claim to be a...
  7. 20' Trailer wrap

    On these very flat graphics, why do you guys go to cast as opposed to a 7 year polymeric vinyl? Costs would be about half that of cast and the overall performance is expected to be the same. If there aren't rivets to go over or mirrors/bumpers to be wrapped, aren't you leaving a lot of money...
  8. Who makes Custom Floor Mats?

    What type of mats? I've got a film from BILD which can be printed 2nd Surface which comes in 50 and 75mils thick which people use as mats....UV printable only.
  9. Full coverage vinyl on west facing windows - bad idea?

    As someone who sells a lot of window film, I can tell you that about once a year I hear about glass cracking. 90% of the time it is on older dual-pane or single-pane windows. A few of my customers have a clause they point out their customers saying that cracking is pretty rare but if it...
  10. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    The Fluid Color devices start around 85K and max out at $225K....that can get you anywhere from 10 - 48 boards an hour. www.FluidColor.com great stuff.
  11. Vinyl failing on sheet metal

    We've got a film which has a high coat weight and high tack which tends to work on tough surfaces like this. Called Omni Print. Sticks to brick, most powder coated materials, concrete....54"x150' is $310.
  12. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I can get anyone a test roll of Retac....all they require is your UPS account number to cover the freight. The stuff works great and it isn't a high tack which will just jack up the wall at removal.
  13. Fabric Like Mesh

    It's called Jersey Mesh and it is a dye-sub fabric. Verseideg or UltraFlex should carry them in your corner of the world.
  14. HP800 or Roland LG

    You are a textbook case study for a Colorado. You'll print on most medias around 400sf/hour....some cast materials may be a bit slower....banner you can print 1200sf/hour. Ink costs around $.08/ft2. 3M approved for wraps. Ink is bulletproof and you don't need to laminate a lot of...
  15. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    There are required accessories like the starter kit, vacuum pumps, ink, duster air filter, ink/flush kit, etc. I don't know why they are listed seperately from the machine if you need to have them. Lastly, shipping the units are very expensive and they charge over $15K to deliver and...
  16. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    The Arizona 6100 is a great unit for sure. It comes in a few flavors....for just the machine it starts out at around $444K and tops out at $525K...but then you have to add in a bunch of stuff on top of the machine (ink kit, required accessories, etc. and freight and training...those all add up...
  17. Exterior Textured Wall Wrap Stucco

    You might want to consider an adhesive-backed aluminum product. It will conform to the stucco surface and likely bond better than an adhesive-backed vinyl might. Continental Grafix makes a 4mil version which is much more affordable than the thick stuff used for ground graphics.
  18. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Look at www.FluidColor.com They have 126" hybrids which you can load up with Ricoh Gen 6 heads and get just under 20 boards an hour in Production Mode (where most of the customers print...there's also high quality and Express modes). This unit with two rows of CMYK+W is going to put you...
  19. Thickest banner / canvas material

    There's a bunch. You just need to buy a top-coated fabric so the ink sits in the coating and not soaking into the thread. There are a good number of fabrics coated this way which are relatively wrinkle free (it might take just a few minutes for wrinkles to fall out). Sonoma Graphics has a...
  20. New flatbed recommendations

    While I'm not a user (I'm a distributor) I'd strongly recommend Fluid Color out of Cinci. They customize Handtop machines to your specific need. You can pick the type of print head (Ricoh Gen 5, 6, or Kyrocera ), the number of heads (most go with CMYK+W but you can add lc, lm, and varnish) and...
