  1. HELP! Window Perf hates HP LATEX

    Continental makes great perf which works very well on latex devices. Their Panorama One product is 164' long and sells for what most people are paying for a 100' roll of Briteline. We sell those rolls for only $391.14 which I see a lot of people paying for only 100 feet of Briteline.
  2. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    Not only are the UV Gel inks strong at resisting UV fade, but they are incredibly durable. Hard to scratch and can even withstand a lot of chemicals. Take a look at this 2:00 video:
  3. What the heck is IJ-40 anyway?

    IJ35 is a polymeric. The difference between the two is perm (35) vs. removable for some time (IJ 40). The IJ 40 film is a better film...not as brittle. IJ 35 is priced well (I compete with it all the time) and I believe IJ40 is extremely overpriced. I cringe when I see people using IJ40 for...
  4. What would you use?

    I'd recommend against using a cast vinyl and lam on a completely flat sign. A good polymeric film (both print vinyl and laminate) will perform the same for a fraction of the cost. Like half the cost.
  5. Anyone know what Grimco charges for service calls?

    Scott is The Man. email or call me directly and I'll give you his number. Nothing against Grimco, but you want someone who knows or has been trained to service Seal units. He lives in Connecticut so he can't be too far. Mark@HascoGraphics.com
  6. What do you think of Roland Flatbed printers?

    We are based in Cleveland....but I'm sure I could help you find a more local distributor for Fluid Color so you have closer service if/when you may need it. a 4x8 with one row of Ricoh Gen 6 heads (CMYK+W) is going to be right at $110K (that's all-in...delivered, inked up, trained, etc). It's...
  7. What do you think of Roland Flatbed printers?

    I sell Roland units but we haven't moved any of these yet....likely because I've felt they are a bit spendy (as is the ink) for what they do. But I can say that with the exception of the EJ640, I've never regretted selling a Roland branded unit. The quality is always excellent as is the...
  8. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    I sold four EJ printers and three of them were returned and replaced with 2 RF 640 units due to how easily the ink scratches. If you are laminating everything, then the EJ is sweet....but banners, paper, and anything unlaminated scratches very easily on the EJ. At least that was the experience...
  9. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    I realized I made a mistake in quoting $.08/ft2 for ink costs. If you bring in a M3 then you are restricted to the 700ml bottles which are more expensive than the 1 liter bottles. With the 700ml bottles you should expect to spend more like $.11ft2
  10. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    As a guy who sells Roland and Canon..... I have the last new 1650 in a crate, but I don't think I can ship one to Canada, so consider my input just my two cents. If color consistency is a priority, the Canon does it better than anyone. The red you print today can usually be reprinted five...
  11. Seeking your expert knowledge

    colored PVC mesh? you can get it in black, white, and maybe a few standard colors. I've got customers who wholesale it should you need some printing done.
  12. For Sale The last new Colorado 1650 - available now

    I've got the last Colorado 1650 ready to ship. If you've got a 60" solvent printer, you can pick it up for around $58K. If you want to trade in a latex device (you have to rip off the serial tag and snap the control board in half) you can save another $3-5K depending on the model. 2.99%...
  13. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    Drytac Retac films tend to work miracles on zero VOC paint. Similar (if not the same) adhesive as PhotoTex but with textures (canvas, linen, sand, etc).
  14. Now adays what is the equal to the HP FB700 UV Printer

    If you are looking to replace the hybrid style printer and if you haven't checked out Fluid Color, you should. They take HandTop frames out of China and customize them for your needs out of Cincinnati. You can choose from 3 widths of hybrid (63", 98", or 126")....then choose what print heads...
  15. Laminating perforated vinyl

    the key is to turn down the roller pressure on your laminator. The optically clear lam is only optically clear because it comes on a poly liner which allows for the adhesive to 'glide' off of the liner and not be distorted at all (like a normal paper liner would). If you are applying a bunch...
  16. 700w alternatives ?

    you should see if HP will take the unit back. The Colorado M 5 Pro with white is phenomenal. Expensive, but the ink costs are still low and the speeds are great. Printing two layer (white then color) we clocked it at 108sf/hour . When you aren't printing white, the machine, as everyone...
  17. Corn hole

    I've got a few customers who have our Fluid Color and Arizona flatbed printers and print cornhole boards all day, every day. They do wholesale work, too. Incredible quality. They print and then put several coats of varnish over the ink and wood to get the precise surface for sliding the bags...
  18. Need a floor graphic for indoors that will hold up to automated robotic forklift traffic?!

    Two products should work: 1) If you have a UV printer, then printing 2nd surface on clear BILD material will work. You need to print colors then flood white. The film comes 50 and 75mils thick so there is a ton of protection. 2) Continental has a new laminate which is 24mils thick and non...
  19. looking for advice, new printer

    As a Roland distributor, I'll agree that the cutting is not the most accurate when you get to around 7 or 8 feet long. I love to pair a Roland print+cut or print-only device next to a Summa T series cutter...now that the Summa devices have come down so much in price over the last few years, it...
