They're going to off-gas either way. We have a pretty big shop here. The printer room has a special air scrubber built into it as the fumes are worst in there.

Either Grimco or Fellers, it is a rolling floor rack with the casters removed.

It is just a standard cheapo box fan at the bottom. Our first box was built around 9 years ago and the fan on it is still going strong, lol. I thought it would have died years ago. We have acrylic behind the cutouts in the door; got to get a good seal around all sides so that the flow of air...

The fan is pulling air down through the rolls and blowing it out at the bottom so not putting any more dust onto the prints than is floating around already. Customers are getting more and more pushy with turnaround times and even with multiple printers running all day long we're still overbooked...

Printing too much for the old box so had to add another to keep up with the flow around here. Made this one to comfortably hold 16 rolls if necessary. It REALLY pulls the air through, way better than the old one. Not 100% finished yet, but it's in operation. (we are adding lettering below the...

Wanted to share an unbelievable before and after from yesterday. Topaz definitely saved the day on this image. Original image provided was 159 pixels x 158 pixels... made into a useable image!!! I don't know how it does it, but it does it.

"Printable" Magnetic rolls always seem to have a real cheap coating on them for printing, which leads to printing defects and bad image quality. We switched all of our magnets over to be printed & laminated with regular materials, then mount that to the magnets and cut them down. We also now cut...

Tunneling issues with Phototex (in my experience) come from one of two things: ALWAYS keep your rolls rolled up tight, put tape/velcro/etc around your partial rolls and keep them tight until you're ready to load/print them. The other issue is too high of humidity in your shop, you have to keep...

Personally, I like the 3M IJ680CR-10 over the 780 version. Last time we used 780 we had a lot of edge lifting over time, so we just went back to 680 and don't have issues. I wouldn't want to wrap bumpers with it, but otherwise I think it would work.

Signtline answered the questions about feeding above in his post, but I wanted to answer your other question about masking unweeded vinyl. We do a decent amount of striping/pinstriping here since we have our own slitter. You want striping masked for installation so that it doesn't stretch as...

We apply transfer tape to full rolls with a basic GFP laminator. We feed a 12' tables worth out onto a table, then cut it off, then repeat (stack) until the roll is complete. Then we cut it down into individual decals. Sometimes if it isn't a full roll of the same thing, we just cut the tables...

Manually clean your caps again, might just be a very slightly dirty cap.

No issues here with our Epson printers, but after having the S70 series printers with white/silver ink we went with S60600 printers since they're faster and we only used the white ink like once a year.

Trigon Imaging is in Ohio and is actually a licensed Epson Service company. There aren't many besides D1 out there, so at least you do have a couple options. I do NOT recommend D1 for service.

Knapheide bed for Pickup trucks. 10% scale.

We use MacTac B-Free perf mostly now, and it prints great. I would recommend laminating it with a matte laminate if you print it and it is going on a trailer. Since you're in Ohio, call Trigon Imaging and see what all they have/recommend.

I think one of the reasons Gerber machines were always so well liked was also their downfall. Our Gerber plotters/printers here are 15+ years old, and still in use every day. With regular maintenance and care and occasional repairs they would continue to function for just as long probably. Over...

180c-10 & 8519 are our go-to films here. We do use a decent amount of 8518 (around 15%), but haven't had that many issues out of it recently. We switched back to regular old 180c and stuck with it after some issues with 180cv3 years ago.

I have a friend looking into different options for printing very small diameter cylindrical items. (carbon fiber arrow shafts) Currently they are being printed in a very odd way (to me) using extremely hot oil to transfer the image to the product, but that is causing warping/product loss, and...

Thank you all for the replies, he purchased a complete Edge FX/375 system he found on ebay, but was able to be delivered locally!
