I have a sample of GF 830, Slx, 3951ra proslide en route and hoping to test 1105 as well. I'm tired of dealing with issues with ij180. Does anyone have a go to test panel for wrap media? I was thinking a corrugated steel panel and test each gap with varying degrees of stretch according to how...

The horrendous banner is not helping their image one bit. "Let's just select each starting letter and mash the + button a few times... oh and squish this here and stretchhh that there..." It is obvious to me that they will not be attracting much if any of the clientele they likely would be...

He means that it is still a UV inkset that essentially attaches/adheres to the top of the vinyl. Compared to a solvent-type ink that essentially melts itself into the vinyl. Obviously, this is a huge simplification on my part. But for understanding the basic concept think about comaping a tie...

Interesting, you would have a way better handle on that than me. It seems like I see several Amazon vans for every ups truck but then again that could be just because of how they have it setup.

Anybody else think this is another "fabricated crisis"? It doesn't make sense to even come close to a strike, there is so much money at stake UPS will just raise the rates as they have been. If it does go to a strike I would not be surprised if there is something else at play. I'm not a...

I REALLY like the idea of a start/stop and speed dial on both sides of the machine!

No the name doesn't make it any better. However, I do prefer to have English labels and be able to plug it into a 120v 60hz outlet :). Plus going with a US label you actually have some recourse/contact if you get a lemon or need help with issues.

What some do or don't realize is that many or most of the US name brands come from this or other companies as private label machines with a few changes if any. For example: I was looking into a new laminator to add to our old faithful Royal Sovereign and since RS is more or less defunct...

I have used the button fix system to mount mirrors before with good success. Link below to the adhesive pad I used, they have at least some loading info available to give you an idea...

I looked into this a bit last year and the consensus was that a high-quality exterior latex paint "stippled" on through a vinyl stencil is the best approach for existing awnings. Also the cleaner the better before painting. I have no firsthand experience with this so keep that in mind, but...

That is good info, and I appreciate the input! We only run cmyk with the Epson (40600 in single cmyk 60600 is double cmyk and 80600 adds red orange if I remember correctly). From what I had read people have had problems with the durability of the red and orange inks fading. We have had no...

We have a 1650 and an s40600, both machines are great. We print temporary high production on the UV and all our permanent signage or wrap work goes to the epson. You do not know how nice the speed is until you have it, but that being said the price difference is hard to sell. Ink cost is a...

Hard to say exactly because it depends on the type of pump and table setup. But basically in your case, you are looking at pressure/vacuum differential. Basic idea is this: pressure/vacuum exerted by the pump/table to pull the sheet against spoilboard, friction is what is holding the sheet from...

Ackland media frames and Tensioning solutions are the two I have samples of. Never actually sold any, customers seem to have hesitation with them around here, even a local customer that changes out large banners almost monthly. I might try one on a box truck this fall for a friend's farm to see...

Most sign suppliers like grimco sell them. About $120 for blade holder. Out of curiosity I ordered an amazon one and it came with 30 blades (10 of 30deg 45deg and 60deg) just to see how bad it was. It was .1 mm loose on diameter so I wrapped with a thin tape and tried it out, working fine so...

We are around 700-900 for a 4x8 on a nice painted sled delivered locally. Probably should be closer to $1100 this year. We use 2x4 purlins instead of a plywood backer, easier for install and hauling if you need to knock em down.

Yeah biggest color shift is on blue greens, HUGE shift for up to about 30 minutes

Be careful with your ink limits on the colorado, with the uv gel it uses a LOT lower limits than most inksets. If you lay down too much it won't cure through (check this with the crosshatch cuts and scratch test). Haven't done any multilayering on ours, but haven't needed to.

Thay have gone downhill significantly in the last few years. You used to be able to actually get a call back from one of the developers/ update team if you had an actual issue. We have received basically no substantial support sing an issue with the flexi 19 switch.

Sounds good, Ill keep you posted.
