  6. CET COLOR X-Press FK512 flatbed.. thoughts?

    When you are dropping that kind of cash, you really want the impression they are here to stay and have substantial back up. Lots of Chinese and Korean companies have come and gone in this industry leaving people with broken printers and no way to get serviced. I know that unit runs $78k, would...
  7. CET COLOR X-Press FK512 flatbed.. thoughts?

    I've seen mixed reviews. All parts are made in China, then chipped here for assembly. I've seen decent prints off it. But nothing spectacular. Not horribly fast. My main concern is their ink supplier and tech support.
  8. Print and Cut Phototex

    Go unidirectional, add a box fan. Other than that look at an infared dryer. Phototex is notoriously slow to dry. Just bought a liquid laminator I intend to use for my phototex work.
  9. Xc540?

  10. Roland new launch VS640 !!!

    Yep, color under diffuses the metallic. Try duotones and playing with the contrast, we have had luck with that on photographic art.
  11. Subway Sign Shop

    I still get work from Subway in spite of the national retailer site. I think the guy who owns that is the son of one of the VP's.

    Felt it all the way over here in Cleveland, Ohio.
  13. Eco-Sol inks durability ?

    Go Roland. Better build quality and less user maintenance. The VS-640 with 2xCMYK should be faster than the Mimaki.

    Anyone have any luck printing CMYKLcLm over silver for a metallic finish on photo/process work. Trying to laydown 100% silver with a screen of the the CMYK file. Any other ideas or techniques besides extensive Photoshop work?
  18. Laminating Long Runs... Problems...

    If you notice the buckling when laminating pause in between prints, lift the rollers to release the media tension and drop the rollers back down. It will beging to buckle but rinse and repeat and you will be fine. Just make sure you are inbetween prints or itwill leave a pressure line on you...
  19. Itemized quoting?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate all the advice!
  20. Itemized quoting?

    I recently sent a client a quote for window signage at 3 different locations. They are asking me for an itemized breakdown of costs per application. I quoted using an all inclusive price. Because I've priced using the whole job and the volume of work it is. I just know they are going to use...
