Here's the thread Summa doesn't want you to know about.....: https://www.signs101.com/threads/s140t-dragging-blade-across-laminated-prints.159007/ (We're still running our plotter like this, years later)

Sorry to hear about your experience Christian, that sounds really frustrating. It's always surprising to hear how Canon support is in the US, I feel like in Canada and Australia they've been really good. Hopefully you guys can come to some sort of resolution that doesn't involve them just...

Thanks for the reminder, guess I never came back and updated this thread. We ended up going with the S60600 because the price point was great and we felt it was the right fit for us. We've run 20k sqft through it and not a single issue. It's so much faster that our old Rolands, I honestly...

Yikes. I don't like that business model, at all. We never renewed our service contract after the included 2 years were up on our Arizona, and have never had anything serious go down/need replacing, knock on wood.

It's normal, not much you can do to prevent it. The laminate touches the glass in certain areas depending on squeegee pressure. It will go away and even out over time.

Sure you can, you just have to dish out a couple of grand to upgrade to 24. Regarding your issue, what is your mark offset set to?

We previously used 3M SCPS-55 for years, and have recently switched to Transferite 992U for our air egress graphics (including IJ180mc-10LSE) ND sells/stocks it in Canada. The main problem you'll find with using "regular" or medium tack premask is that it will not lay flat on areas of the...

Interesting, I've never heard of such an animal. Seems like a really cool concept. I spent 6 hours straight the other day fighting with routing small pieces on our Summa F. Closest thing to a solution I've found is adding application tape to the back of sheets and using 1/8" MDF as a...

What software are you using? Man I can't wait to get a real CNC & software. Routing on our Summa F has become a real chore and the software is just brutal to work with.

Please explain how a website company in Dubai can help with back-slitting decals? :rolleyes:

I'm sure there are still tons of 15" plotters out there. We have (4) gerber plotters in various states. We definitely don't use our Gerber Edge + plotters as much any more but they can't be beat for certain jobs. Quick 1 color print jobs are super quick and efficient to knock off. As...

That's awesome! I guess that would be considered lenticular printing then? Any tips on achieving this? (I'm sure there is no quick/easy answer) We've also got a flatbed w/ white that barely gets used, always looking for ways to experiment with different effects. I did some multi-layered...

^This. Also, make sure to check your panel registration/color match before installing.

Lmao. Today's lesson: Don't trust ANY vendors / "manufacturers" from Indonesia.

651 is NOT wrap film. Solid color wrap films will come in 60" wide rolls. Product lines from the big 3 will be: 3M 2080 Avery SW900 Oracal 970RA Plus all the other off-brands.

Mind elaborating on that a bit? I've consider adding fume extraction to our UCJV / Epson printers but not super excited about cutting holes in them, and always wondered what that air flow would do in terms of static / ink spray etc. Thanks!

Laminated? Inkset used? The fact that it's only having issues sticking to itself tells me something's up with either the laminate or ink.

What did you use for application fluid? What kind of clear vinyl did you use and is it solvent or water based adhesive? Do you have the option to mount with a laminator? This will eliminate the liquid stains and most issues related to wet-mounting to acrylic/glass. Takes a LONG time for the...

On what kind of substrate???? Try harder.

Thanks for the tips guys. Whole thing took less than an hour and turned out good, customer is happy. Used my trusty Milwaukie M18 hammer drill and clear silicone. I guess it was just a thin skimcoat of stucco over plywood so it drilled pretty easily with a masonry bit. Didn't have to worry...
