  1. Heavy Duty Corner Rounder

    I too am interested in this product but they make it so difficult to buy or even find pricing. If they had an online store or a distributor link I would buy it right now.
  2. Good media for retractable banners

    i bought a roll from Signworld but was unhappy with the bluish color. If I have a graphic with a white background I'm not using it
  3. Do you overlap your printed wallpaper?

    I do a 1" overlap and then top and bottom usually add 2" to be safe in case walls are not perfect.
  4. Outdoor Wayfinding Sign Refinishing

    Sherwin Williams makes a good one part aluminum paint that we have used to paint posts and they turn out good. Just have to sand any rough spots out. Use .o80 alum with digital print and overlam and you should be good.
  5. Why Are Flatbed Printers So Unreliable?

    I have had my HP FB500 for 2 years now and it has been very reliable. Have only been down 2 times in 2 years. Definite money maker for me.
  6. Arlon 6000XRP Failures

    I too have had failures with Arlon a couple years ago. I switched to 3M IJ180CV3 and have not any issues since then. Yes it is more expensive but the peace of mind more than makes up for it.
  7. Relettering a RV with original how much you sell that ?

    Run Forrest Run. I wouldn't touch it. Trying to match it up exactly will be very tough. Also the RV owner is typically retired and has nothing to do but watch you work and pick out every issue. Removal will be difficult and try not to damage the body. Not worth the trouble.
  8. Thin Sheets That Work On Roll Digital Printers (Roland)?

    We use Briteline 10ml pvc from Grimco through our Roland. Use them for posters or cheap outdoor signs. Prints great on the Roland. Just use normal settings and generic print profile without any issues.
  9. Thousands of tiny bubbles in a trailer wrap?

    I would not have used a calendared material. We only use 3M IJ180 CV3 for vehicles and trailers. The shrinkage on the calendared material will be obvious after 6 months.
  10. Looking for a vinyl with really agressive adhesive

    Oracal 3015HT - love it.
  11. xc-540 Help!! Magenta and cyan around black?

    Could be time for a new print head
  12. HP FB750 and FB550 - What's new?

    I have had my FB500 for 2 years now and in that time have had 2 service calls. It runs 8+ hours a day and a true workhorse. I'm not sure the same reliability can be said about CET.
  13. Seal 65 EL Laminator missing height gauge on newly delivered machine.

    I had a Seal 54el and ended up sending it back because I kept messing up jobs. Very difficult to set up between jobs. I ended up getting the Royal Sovereign 1401 for about the same price and couldn't be happier. So much easier to use and no mess ups. The tension bar makes a big difference...
  14. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    This lack of communication from Rao has me a little worried. I have too sent him an email to come answer these questions. My number one concern right now is my data. I have been trying to download my data and am having problems because you have to type in a date range for it pull up that...
  15. Best vinyl / printing method for plastic chemical bottles?

    I like to use Oracal 3105HT material for drum labels or applications with a rough plastic surface. Been using it for a couple years without any issues
  16. printing issue on our xc540

    Have you cleaned the encoder strip?
  17. Why didn't I think of that???? (scaling)

    We just use 3" x 3" yellow post it notes and take the camera shot straight on. Scale it up in illustrator with no issues.
  18. Hp FB700 Roller Option

    I have a FB500 without the roller option and print a lot of banners on it. I use reverse wound banner material and line up to the rollers. The printer pulls the roll material by itself. Feed it in up to the alignment bar and usually advance the image 7" so the banner edge does not hit the...
  19. UV Outdoor Life

    I use a an empty roll core and start from one end of the material to pull up the liner and attach it to the core then roll the liner off. It makes it much easier to remove and eliminates any streak marks when printing. I have an FB500 and do not see any streak marks.
  20. UV Outdoor Life

    I have owned a HP FB500 for almost two years now and loving it. I have not seen any fading on anything which has come off it. Great printer!
