If you're happy with your HP's output and just unhappy with the "plasticy" nature of it, then stick with getting a new one of those. When we had ours it was also regularly broke from the plastic parts snapping or wearing out and then they weren't warranted and it was down until parts/tech could...

Our installers ran into this also, and if the door is reinforced/armored you're in a real pickle. They haven't found a good solution yet, so we've been modifying layouts to accommodate for missing the door handle on 2020 cruisers and notifying the customers that we can't remove them like before.

We use Gerber GITD vinyl. With it priced as it is, I would do this all as laid up vinyl. More labor, but dang that vinyl is expensive.

Yes.

We print on our Epsons and cut on our Mimaki CG plotters without issue, just be sure the roll isn't too heavy for the plotter to pull it.

Everywhere I have worked that used 3rd party inks had issues with heads going bad. Here, we only use OEM inks (now OEM/MCS inks) and have never had any head issues. We print a LOT of vinyl, so you'd think we'd go through heads.... only ever replaced them due to employee negligence/head strikes.

Looks like too much pressure to me also.

Here is a template for a 2018 (and other years) Dodge Promaster (Full Size) Hood. Customers wanted their logo to flow along the bodylines of this hood, so I had to draw it up to get the curves right. Figure someone else might run into this same issue.

I love the Topaz products, put them to use at least every week now. Incredible results from mediocre input images.

The additional white ink does not cause any more maintenance/cleaning issues than normal. Maintenance is very minimal and quick when necessary. We spend about 5 minutes a week cleaning each of ours.

I just want to recommend comparing a 60600 or even a 40600 (if you have a lighter workload) to the 80600. I do not have faith in the additional inks longevity and recommend sticking with a dual CMYK printer if it is possible. For fine art prints latex is nice as long as the heads are all in...

I think it is do-able for most medium and larger sized businesses as long as there is overlap in departments. I'm usually here at 7/7:30am until 5pm, so turning that back to 4 days would eliminate some overtime. If one employee worked Tues-Fri and the other in the same area worked Mon-Thurs...

Malkin above is correct. It is either the encoder strip or sensor is dirty. Clean them.

Both of those are "OK" looking. I would also recommend a solvent printer, running a quality mode (not high speed). UV is not what you want for wraps at all and Latex isn't that great on small details. I would also recommend using 3M IJ480mc for the vinyl paired with the matching 3M laminate...

Our Epson printers are workhorses here. We run about 3 rolls per day, every day, on ours. No major issues on the 60600 series. Had a few manifolds blow after a few years on the older 70 series and eventually one motherboard died on one of them also but otherwise they're still running great with...

Epson s60600. Super fast, repeat-ability all day long. We are a wrap/mural shop mainly so panel to panel consistency is key. They load lightning fast, basically clean their selves and get going immediately (no warm-up). You can laminate next day no worries and same day in emergencies. I do NOT...

Is it just solid color vinyl striping? We have a slitter here that does a great job of getting straight rolls out of a log. After cutting/slitting the rolls it should be easy to chop off in 30" sections.

It looks like we're getting a bit off-topic, but I'l throw my opinion in now also. I recommend the Epson also, a 40600 if you have low volume (like OP mentioned) or a 60600 if you have a higher volume or anticipate it. The speed is awesome, and color and consistency are also excellent. We are 3M...

The Gerber LexEdge is a Lexan product, so it is scratch-proof. It is used on many different applications, but our customers like to use if for machinery faceplates, dash panels, etc and other places where constant repeated use would take a toll on regular decals.

We print on Gerber LexEdge and laminate with 3M 467 adhesive (14" roll), I believe that is what you're looking for.
