I'm a big Drytac distributor....I've had really nothing but success with their products with the exception of one they are working on improving. I love the cold-weather application capabilities as well (as do my customers....the installers - not so much). Polar Grip sticks like grim death to...

You can buy a magnetizer and unmagnetized magnet. A magnetizer looks like a 6" paint roller but instead of a nap roller it looks like a roll of quarters. After printing, you flip the print over (print down, magnet up) and you just "paint" the back of the magnet with the magnetizer in straight...

Most manufacturers will tell you 2 years max in a controlled environment. I believe that claim to be sort of like "if you give them a foot they'll take a yard". I like the comment above that said 'use it if you don't mind redoing the job' but if it is an easy application, it should work fine...

does the clear need to be optically clear or just "blurry clear"? Is it outside in the elements? When will it need to be installed? answer those and I can get you a few options.

You can rolls of material on this laminator, but it does not have a takeup. It is a good machine, but the EL stands for Entry Level and it could be a machine you would outgrow in short order. If you are looking for a good used laminator, I have a customer with a Seal 600 D that is in perfect...

Don't do either, please. You will have more fun throwing money out the window on the expressway. GFP machines are good - American design built in China. I prefer Kala laminators as they are the only units out there which can self level the nip (makes sure the machine runs dead-ass straight...

I don't know the actual formula....but if you aren't using the machine that much it can be a bit of a pain in the butt. Essentially, the machine tracks how much ink is in the machine from each lot and expiration date and comes up with a new expiration date with every bottle entered into the...

I can say with confidence that the vast majority of my customers printing on vinyl, paper, and banner are spending around $.08/ft2. There are others on this page who really get specific in their profiles and get their ink costs down to $.05/ft2. We have one high-end canvas producer who prints...

sometimes less is more...by maximizing the temperatures and cure strength, you could be altering the finished cured product on the PET. What media are you using? Be specific and I'll see what I can find out. You are welcome to take this offline and email me directly.

Summa T Series. Accurate over 50' long. Total game changer. We used to sell the Graphtec and Roland plotters because the Summa units were twice the cost...that isn't the case anymore and I think you'd be foolish to not spend an extra $2K'sh to get the tangential technology from Summa.

Furthermore, don't always assume that buying directly will get you better support. I'd say most times the dealer tech knows far more about the printer and applications associated with the printer than the break-fix guy from the manufacturer.

If you are printing more than 5 rolls of media a week, you should consider one of the Colorado printers. The best in terms of color consistency in the market, inexpensive inks, and despite I think it is an old wives tale about outgassing, you can instantly laminate. But it would only make...

Better question is how long are the graphics going to be on the floor? If it is a short term event then use Spot On Floor from Drytac. Nothing easier to put on the floor in the market....even by amateurs. It is a print-direct floor media with no lamination, so that's why I'd only recommend...

We've got one last Colorado in stock which can ship out immediately and invoice in December should anyone be looking for a Colorado M5 under their tree. It can be set up as a M5 Pro or a M5W Pro. I'm not sure that I can get it installed and trained by December 31st, but likely early January...

I'm a distributor....we had a great year....BUT....it was successful year due to winning some massive jobs. It seems like the everyday "three rolls of matte vinyl" business has really slowed down in the last few months. I'd rather have a record year full of that easy consistent business than...

That normally is a good approach, but the UV Gel ink used in the Canon Colorado has flexibility and is approved by 3M for wraps. If you want to ever test out a panel I can set up a print test and send you something to touch/feel/stretch/stick etc.

It is fully approved by 3M for wraps. I have several customers who wrap all day, every day with the unit.

Why not buy from Sonoma? They might cost a few bucks more but they've always been on the quality side.

Color consistency, speed, and cost of inks should put you right in the middle of a conversation for a Colorado M. Have you looked at those? The M series can be upgraded in speed and the ability to add features like white ink and flx finish if and when needed. The M3 Pro would give you great...

Try Synaps. It is fantastic. Super smooth and lays perfectly flat and doesn't curl at all. Also quite inexpensive. I can send you a test roll if you want to play around with some. The guy who does my kid's high school just moved over to Synaps and all of the parents were saying how much...
