Also Drytac does free sample rolls for all their products. Our ship is luckily a few miles from their regional headquarters and we have an awesome relationship with them. They're super helpful, if you have any questions just call.

I've been a big fan of LexJet's simple adhesive permanent semi-matte vinyl because its 5mil so its easy to use for contour cut stickers and decals without needing a lam, it comes in a 36" roll and its cheap as dirt. Magic's MTAC is almost identical to the material Avery labels are made of so...

I looked into using the platen protector after speaking with one of the media manufacturers but it looks like that only covers the output platen and not the print platen.

HP 560 scuffs by rm5690 posted Mar 25, 2019 at 12:01 PM Im having scuff marks running down the length of the media on the back side of a lot of my prints. It seems to happen more on paper-based media but I've also seen it on PE banner and release liner. Its not much of an issue on single...

Honestly you could probably get a decent toner based printer and just buy label sheets from Online Labels.com. We still buy materials from them sometimes to run on our digital presses because you can buy precut sheets of labels by the sheet, which can be a lot easier and more cost effective for...

Thats the same hot knife that I just bought, albeit some other brand. We actually already have a keen cut sabre 2 and I was looking into that hot knife carrier... Sewing might be what we have to look into then. Its just that we're new to latex printing – before we subbed everything out we...

Recently started experimenting with printing fabrics on my HP 570 with these three products: 1. EnduraFab Frontlit FR 2. HP Fabric Light 3. Mohawk DecoPrint Pearl I was told to use a hot knife to prevent the edges from fraying so I bought one off Amazon and I can't tell if I'm just really bad...

Neenah makes a EnduraStick-P on a roll which is just their satin poster paper with a permanent PSA. We use a lot of their material for digital/offset I like that they have really eco-responsible wide format media as well. We use their Estate Label line to print digitally and feed through the...

I just purchased a roll of Avery 3901 as a cheap pvc-alternative for short-term signage (aka mounted displays that didn't need to last more than a few weeks at most). I print a lot of mounted graphics although not necessarily all at once. Right now Im not printing more than 10 24x36s at a time...

I do a lot of short term (aka indoors anywhere from 1 day to a few months tops) mounted signage. Currently Im using HP Everyday Adhesive Matte Polypro because its affordable ($0.44 ft2), works on my aqueous and latex printers, and is a lot cheaper than pvc-free vinyl. The issue is that the...

I realized I could just use the pvc itself as a leaderboard of sorts. The polypro is stiff enough that it doesn't stretch like vinyl or lam does when you're applying with the laminator, so I just had to balance the pvc sheet on a trash can and feed it in one sheet at a time, cutting the polypro...

I have a Royal Sovereign laminator and Im trying to mount a series of prints onto 4x8 sheets of PVC. The prints are all on a roll of polypropylene which I have installed where the roll of lam usually goes. I have dead space at the beginning of the roll and in-between prints so I can get the...

We use Caldera with a pro4000, an ipf9400, and an HP 560. Caldera will sync the media profiles that are on the HP and the pro4000 but not the 9400. I haven't asked, but my guess is that the ipf is a relatively older line of printers that aren't necessarily meant for a production work flow as...

Does PVC-free cut vinyl exist?

Thanks, those photos were useful. Is there a trick to loading the kraft paper so it doesn't wrinkle?

Im new with laminators so pardon my ignorance. Just got a new 65 RS heat assist laminator and I can't for the life of me figure out how to load a roll of kraft paper to use as backing for laminating small prints. The attached video shows what Im trying to do, although they're using some white...

Does having a bright orange vespa as an inner-city courier vehicle count?

I have the ipf9400 and have had issues with ink coming off of synthetic substrate as well. (In my case it was a polypropylene psa). I spoke with my manufacturer and they actually made a custom media profile for me so that the printer wouldn't lay down as much ink. It doesn't produce the colors...

Wait so is everyone here a windows fan? Unless the software/rip software is only compatible with with windows, I always argue for macs. You can buy them through their business program and (if you qualify) save money and have it financed. The applecare program has been indispensable - any problem...
