29+ years in the business

We do this for about 20 small shops in California and Southern Oregon. Just last year one of the shops we had been one of the shops we had been doing work for decided to buy his own printer (we actually encourage guys/gals to do this when they are selling enough prints to justify the cost)...

Be sure to use the tape as a center hinge, not across the top. Wet apply.

Have used Go to my PC before and was able to remotely control our server from home.

We have had a AXYZ Router for about 10 years. It has been the most reliable piece of equipment we have had. Their support is great, we can still call them and they help us to this day with no service contract. Anything that has gone wrong over the years, they send us the parts and tell us how...

For the same pricerange, you might want to consider the Solara Ion X. We have had one since September and it is a great printer. Also, it is a true flatbed, not a hybrid or a pull-through design.

We have not done any t-shirts but we have printed on poly/cotton blend fabric we have purchased at a local fabric store. We have done banners this way for both our customers and other small sign shops we do work for. We use a Solara Ion and it works great. We keep an iron at the shop and go...

The VP540 is a great printer! You could save some money by taking a look around for a used one from a private party or a demo model from a vendor. As the prices go, for what they are giving you it looks pretty close. I would go with the 440ml ink cartridges instead of the 220ml ones. They...

Curing issues are usally related to the humidity (either to high or to low - maybe even close to either limit). Banding is usually based on the number of passes, bi or uni directional, etc., profile used and the type of material.

We are extremely pleased with our Ion. It does what it was designed to do, prints signs. If someone wants a fine art printer, this may not be it (but they do have a new one coming with 14pl heads) and Gerber is going to make the new heads available to those who want to purchase the upgrade...

Look for a used AXYZ router. We have had ours for almost 10 years with no problems. Only had to replace a few parts (which they walked us through). Never had to buy a service warranty. Can still call them today with questions and they help us as if we bought it yesterday. They sell used...

The Solara Ion V is basically the same as the X, just 4 print heads instead of 8. As a result, it will print slower. We have the Solara Ion X and it prints great for us every day. The only thing to be aware of is that any UV flatbed printer (true flatbed or hybrid) is sensitive to humidity...

Saw it printing at the ISA show. Slow and only light weight materials. If speed is not a problem, I would also look at the Gerber Solara Ion V (slower than the X but quite a bit less money). I think you can add a roll to roll to it (the X comes with one - or did until recently). Only...

Don't buy anything without a take-up-reel. We use ours every day and having started without it, we would never go back.

Don't own one but saw it in operation at the ISA show in Las Vegas. Saw it at the Techwin booth and at a suppliers booth. Was running at the Techwin booth and looked pretty nice (inks were flexible as well - wrapped to motorcycle parts in the booth). The printer at the suppliers booth (only...

Nice prints but from what I have heard, most substrates for the Oce or Fuji version require dedicated substrate adhesion/surface cleaners. Check on this and find out the cost of these as there tend to be much more than just 99% isopropal alcohol which is what we can use with our flatbed to...

Laminate first before applying to substrate if possible. Also, we learned from a Seal tech that it is really important for their machines (if using heat) to let them heat up all the way to the set temp before starting.

I have a 24" Samsung and while comparing it to the LG next to it in the store, the color saturatio was much better as it has a 10000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio which allows it to display more color separation. One of the best monitors out is the Acer G24 if you don't mind an orange monitor...

We've had a AXYZ router for just over 10 years. Never had to purchase a service contract. As a matter of fact, AXYZ discouraged us from doing so, telling us we could call them anytime and that they would figure out what was wrong, then send us the parts to change. To this day, they have been...
