We had a job where we needed to laminate about 30 rolls last year. I bought one of those manual crank hand laminators off eBay for $100 - and then I mounted the roll of premask above the manual laminator. That then fed into the manual laminator... And we put the vinyl through and just rolled...

I wouldn't.... We have a hard enough time loading 50 yd rolls. That stuffs crazy heavy. I can't see a benefit to it, it's the same sqft price through 3m (at least for us) and having to load / unload.... Unless you're printing 600 ft at once. On which case unless you have a beefy laminator...

If you're taking orders, dealing with clients, doing installs, CNC work, painting, operating all the printing equipment, doing all fabrication..you're not an installer. I started in the same position, doing just digital printing... Now I bounce around and do everything above where / when...

If you plan on printing full vehicle wraps with a 30"... Id say no. It won't even be wide enough to do a door without a seem... You can get away with seeming certain areas, but if you have to seem every door, the hood twice, trunk twice, it'll look like a hack job. If you're just printing...

Yes, but a 15 minute drive is a heck of a lot better than losing customers

Back during COVID we had a job putting up stall numbers on 100ish parking spots in a garage using concrete walls. We couldn't get 8624 because of the shortages, so we tried with 180 - it was a rush needed to be done job, and we let.the customer know it may not last. It went up ok and looked...

You can switch service providers. I've had great experiences with Grimco, the local Grimco techs know a ton about latexs, and Grimco may have more pull than the others. If you're already using Grimco..then your other option is Ndgraphics. They're not bad either. Those are the only 2 I'd use...

Which company are you dealing with? And yes, we have a 700w - if you need help with some rush jobs as you wait, I'm In Langley and can help out for cost to keep you running.

Do you know how to wrap? It's not as simple as buying a printer and material. I wouldn't drop 1k on a bundle in hopes you get a wrap job either! Wait until you get one then buy it. It's all stocked and shipped within a day at Nd graphics. 180 is what I'd use. It's a bit more expensive , but...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/fEJhzmyQQTp79aXp9 these were all printed at 9 pass - Some a bright red...some a deeper / darker red. I havent had any issues with reds on the resin, my guess is you're trying to print 6 pass / lower? I found 6 pass to be a bit washed out - I've been meaning to play...

if the ink will bond, anything can be printed with latex. Turn the temp way down, and turn the passes way up - Add interpass delay if you have to. I've found you can print on even the pickiest materials if you play with the heat settings. Or... Print on a clear and mount it to the chrome...

Necroing one thread should be enough, don't need to necro 5.... Giving us Canadians a bad name :mad:

There are ways you can do it efficiently! A city we do work for needed 19,000 street blades made... 6" x 12 / 14 / 20". They had to be graphtec cut reflective though, to match their previous ones....they wouldnt accept digital print. No one wanted to touch the job, so we got to do a pretty...

Heres an example. Look how much their sticker is shrinking... It looks like half their photos have this much shrinkage and the other half doesn't. At first I thought it was intentional to show that it peels off in a shape, but if it were they'd all be like that...

Buy some and see. A lot of companies have absurd claims about stuff being dishwasher safe - we bought my kids a "sticker pack" from school with his name on it to label everything, supposed to be dishwasher safe... I think after the first week the decal had completely fallen off. Using a good...

Nope. it looks like ultraflexx sells a version that it is latex (And would be resin) printable though. Few things to note - I print on SAV 90% of the time - On really cheap media, the media will "Tunnel" a bit if you suck it back in after printing on it. By default the Resin will extend...

What are you getting a printhead doctor? Unfortunatelly 90% of the time if you have a bad head, your nozzles arent recoverable, as theyre damaged and not clogged. And the ones that are clogged require too much pressure to unclog, that the heads get destroyed in the process. We've tried...

I'm guessing by rounded edges you mean rounded corners? Never seen a round edge... But 99% of our aluminum gets rounded corners.... Aluminum corners are sharp! Cutting aluminum and rounding corners is time consuming. If you want cheap, you buy from China. If you want fast, you buy from a us...

The resin prints better quality than the Latex does -Less grain, better color gamut, more consistant prints lengths for wall graphics, etc. \ Cost wise - Epson wins again... we havent had to change the heads in over a year on the resin, No missing nozzles or anything. On our latex.... We've...

This guy is great for his test setups. Both tools have their place
