Sorry, didn't realize I had to spell out all of the individual factors that I was already taking into consideration in order to make it seem like I had a "basic knowledge of the industry". Next time I'll be sure to include a full disclaimer about being self taught along with multiple apologies...

What material(s) would you use for printing full window decals that are mounted on the inside of the building with the printed graphic facing outwards? Obviously I can't print on the adhesive side. I'm familiar with Drytac's WindowTac, I just haven't used it personally. But what base material...

Time to get nerdy :cool: It has to do with a few factors: 1) how the original file was made 2) what program you’re using to open it 3) what your specific color management settings are in your Adobe suite. Corel (like Illustrator) is a vector based program. Photoshop is a raster based...

We actually print fabrics for a manufacturer who specializes in custom sound panels and went through a long process of testing different textiles out to see what worked best for their application. Something like 98% of the sound absorption/reduction is done by the panel itself so you can...

I can as well if you still need... DM me and we can get it sorted

Well FlexTek is $0.35/sq.ft., and Duratex eco-banner is $0.37/sq.ft. so anywhere around there? Price isn't too much of an issue, over $0.75-ish/sq.ft. would probably be my cap but Im willing to try something out before I say no.

Yah Im hearing lots of bad reviews so far. Mainly using it for indoor / shorter term banner applications. I was using LexJet's FlexTek but was running into issues with adhesives not grabbing onto the polyester, not to mention its pretty translucent and expensive.

I tried out a roll of Duratex's 9oz eco-banner and I was wondering if anyone else has used it/is using. Im printing with an HP 560 and the ink bleeds a little bit into unprinted areas but it doesn't bleed in-between printed areas which seems odd. I've played around with the optimizer levels...

Im definitely going to have to look into these, Signcut has almost won me over already just because it's Swedish designed and I'm Scandinavian haha. I think my biggest qualm with most cutting software (not to mention a LOT of other equipment control software) is that it's made by engineers who...

For starters interface is so unintuitive and clunky. There have been several times the size of the roll/sheet didnt seem to be communicating correctly between the cutter and the software so the job would run off the side of the media. Other times it's a royal pain to figure out whether to set...

I'm looking for the best options for software to control our Summa S2 T160. We're mac based and currently Im just using the free version of MacSignCut that came with it. All of our print-and-cut is managed through our Caldera RIP. I'm new enough to cut vinyl that I don't know what the best...

Any idea what make/model/brand it was? Im trying to shop for one and there are only about 23497 different options...

Is there anything other than double sided scrim vinyl that's safe for pole banners?

Went with Stouse. Thanks for the input err'body

I've actually been having the same problem and I'm new enough to latex that Im not sure if it's because its hasn't fully cured or if the ink just doesn't adhere well. It's super annoying because we have to be really careful handling it post-printing because the image can get marred almost like...

Thats an option, I just wanted to try and figure out how I would do it in-house first or if it was even possible... Any good vendor recommendations?

8,000. If I do them sheetwise I can get 5up on a 12x18 sheet, 6up as perfect cuts. So between 1400 and 1700 impressions...which would usually mean offset for us, but if dry toner is more light-fast than offset ink then we would stick with that. If I print them wide format, assuming (just to...

Im trying to figure out which print method to go with for a specific job, but really any info would be helpful to take into consideration for future jobs as well. The specific job is for 5x6in decals that are primarily going inside fleet vehicles on dashboards. I know how I would do it if I...

When I print a job from Caldera and the link between the image in the queue and the actual file on my HD is broken (i.e. the original file gets moved, renamed, etc.) the job automatically errors out in Caldera, but the 560 will continually be warming up like it going to start printing. I can...

Thanks Do you have any idea if it will affect any warranty's on the printer? Its not exactly an expensive printer so Im not terribly worried about it, especially since most warranty's only cover a year or so (and we had our 9400 for 4 years without any issues ever) but I just want to be...
