  1. Suggestions Looking for a printable PAPER, that has a removable and repositionable adhesive...

    I don't think I've ever seen a removable paper... I would assume that the face stock is too brittle to warrant clean removal. That said, Sihl 3683 is solvent printable adhesive paper we've used in the past. Cuts as cleanly as vinyl.
  2. VG2-540 to buy or not to buy? Pros/Cons, thinking of switching to Epson S80600

    We went from the original VS-540 to an S80600 + Graphtec FC8600. It's immeasurably better in every single aspect. 6 pass on the Epson looks better than the Roland at 12+ passes and is ridiculously faster. An entire roll in 2 hours versus and entire day on the Roland.
  3. Problem Printing Greys on the Epson Surecolor s40600

    Do you have a spectro you can make custom profiles with?
  4. S80600 and Summa T series- Advice? warnings? pros/cons

    They would be a good pairing. Don't shy away from the Graphtecs either. Much easier to perf cut with the channel compared to the Summa which doesn't have one.
  5. Window Perf Question

    Reminds me of when someone pressure washes over the perf even though they have been told not to. It rips right through the laminate as it's only 'hovering' over each hole and is quite easily blown out.
  6. Print and install perf on interior?

    Yes, you'd need white for that particular product. ContraVision used to have a product that had a light adhesive that you could print directly onto and still apply to the interior of a window. It looks like they've gone down the path of Hexis though and made the product clear which will require...
  7. Print and install perf on interior?

    Hexis now make a clear perforated material. You print on it in reverse, back it up with white then apply the adhesive to the interior surface.
  8. flatbed with roll to roll printer

    RMO option for the Arizona range was approx. AUD$30k in 2013 which is a bargain in comparison to any other 96" wide R2R printer. White channel was AUD$10k. We got both on our machine and haven't regretted either. We print more white than CMYK these days.
  9. Onyx 12.2 Epson S40/S80 drivers

    PM me your email address, I'll forward you a PrnInst file for the S80.
  10. printed carpet

    We tried it on our UV when we got it.... the results were great, however the logo wore out very quickly (only a few months) so we never tried to push it. We've upgraded our inkset since then to a more adhesive version so not sure if they'd last a bit longer now.
  11. Toshibatec CE2 for Océ Arizona

    Replacing all the heads in our 360GT is 4x the price of trying to sell the entire machine. You get that from an 11 year old device though...
  12. Suggestions Which wide format printer brand is the best / easiest to locate parts, techs and support?

    Highly depends on your location. Some places have better service for certain brands compared to others.
  13. What printable vinyl for snowboard wraps

    I've used 3M 180Cv3 in the past to wrap a wakeboard which would be similar I guess. You could also try a high tack vinyl for even higher adhesion. General Formulations GF201-HTAPAE can be sourced from Spicers or Amari Visual Solutions.
  14. Doing Biz in the PRC (People's Republic of California)

    I am not from the US, but a few seconds of searching I managed to dig this up... https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1379 it states that the fee is to be used for training and certification of 'access specialists' in regard to accessibility...
  15. Is education the answer?

    In Australia we have 2-3 year courses with apprenticeships for sign writing. Example: https://www.tafensw.edu.au/offering/-/o/o/CPC30216-01V03-22WLG-001/Certificate-III-in-Signs-and-Graphics
  16. Paper-faced adhesive stock for labels?

    We ended up with a toner based print system (OKI Pro 1050) with white so we can print onto clear materials as well as papers. The finisher is a cheap and cheerful Chinese model Vorey VD-240. It does the job and is surprisingly fast at what it does.
  17. Paper-faced adhesive stock for labels?

    You can try Sihl 3683. We were in the same situation and eventually bought a full roll based printing and finishing system in the end. So much faster than doing it with wide format. We can print and finish 2000 labels in under an hour.
  18. Epson 8550 printer

    The 8550 can print a 13" x 19" print but is not 19" print width... you should check up on that.
  19. Epson 8550 printer

    These aren't for DTF printing. They are pigment/photo printers. Maximum print width is 13", not sure where you are reading 19". I have no idea how they are justifying calling it "wide format" at that size. There is currently stock in Australia at our usual supplier, so not sure why there isn't...
