We have an old royal soverign laminator 1401, and a kala. Since we got the kala we only use the RS for mounting to substrates and masking. The kala sucks at mounting, but is awesome at laminating. Recently we can't keep our RS from not wrinkling. Have been having to adjust the roller for the...

Have a 55" royal soverign laminator, bought new in 2010. Backup laminator now but we still use it to mount prints to substrates and transfer tape to cut graphics. It hasn't been feeding right for a while and finally got to the point it was unusable as it would get folded creases in graphics as...

Haven't used the etch-mark, but I can tell you for sure, 4075 R Tape, is not what it used to be. Just started a thread about it and needing a better tape for air release liners. I'm going to give 3M SCPS 55 a try.

Looking for recommendations on transfer tape that sticks to air release liners. You know for when you do print/cut graphics on air release and the tape not sticking to the liner causes all sorts of problems. We've been using R-Tape conform 4075 rla for about 10 years. While it never really...

I wish there was a setting (maybe there is?) to print a flood of white before laying down registration marks. A nice block of white underneath would surely solve this problem. I've run into it from time to time on reflective. Of course you need white ink capabilities for this to work...

That stuff is only rated for short term outdoor use. Ended up running off a sample for the customer on .024" aluminum like we would normally make them. He loved them, couldn't believe that they were as flexible as they were... So win win all around, his posted signs will easily last 10+ years...

Doing a couple hundred, definitely don't want to use banner material and hem it. Too time consuming for our setup.

Not looking to make aluminum ones, we've done .024" alum in the past, works great, but client isn't interested. They want thin flexible poster like signs, I'm thinking a rigid pvc film? Has anybody used this stuff before, ? Will it be good for outdoor use 3-5 year? Anybody have any...

Perfect. Thank you.

Close but it isn't aristocrat.

Anybody know this font?

How is the ink adhesion with these printers printing directly to white aluminum, 040, 063, 080? And what is the expected outdoor life uncoated vs coated with something like urethane?

If applying film laminate to UV printed on white aluminum, is there adhesion issues? Do you need a thermal laminator or will top roller heat assist work?

Anybody applying for the save small business grant? App went live at 3:00pm today and I can't get through the site to teh app. Any luck for anybody?

We just don't do contour cut magnets anymore. Only squares and rectangles and round the corners with a corner rounder. We used to cut them on a stand alone cutter, you don't have to cut them all the way through. Just score them and they pop out pretty easily. But your best bet if you have a...

Ah I see.

Do yourself a favor and print to vinyl and apply that to the magnet. Not worth the hassle and added wear to your machine trying to print on magnet. Yes it can be done, but just isn't worth it.

If you submitted today, you're probably going to be waiting a bit as the funding has dried up.

Seems I'm circling back to a router as being the best method for cutting our aluminum signs. And since these will be routed with vinyl already applied to them, we are going to have a learning curve to figure our best way of doing this. Some say vinyl face down, some say face up with oil...
