  1. Best media for wall graphics

    I LOVE THE STUFF but had to repaint some of my house because of fabritac. got excited and did a big ol mural on a room that apparently was not primed before previous owners painted. ripped off paint, and top layer of drywall in the first 2 feet. SUCKEDDDD.
  2. STS Eco Solvent Inks?

    I've heard triangle is okay. never heard of anyone running sts. nazdar is a solid contender too if you can get it.
  3. Jigs / Irregular Object through a hybrid

    you certainly can, you just need to know exact thickness to tell the printer to avoid head strikes. I'm not the most familiar with EFI printers, but at least with my hp hybrid, we've done quite a bit with jigs. it just gets dicey. it can be a tremendous pita, and if you are not careful you could...
  4. FB500

    i don't think you can but I'm not positive. we toyed with white on my 700 for like a month years ago and found that it was a money suck. also a mess.
  5. Cap Station or No Cap Station

    yeah all the uv's i have worked on that are not built from solvent based machines or manufacturers have had no capping. actually both hp's fb700 and 750 models are just floating heads with a auto purge function that will do automated cleanings when in sleep mode to keep the heads fresh at pretty...
  6. Employee Morale

    make your employees feel needed and valued within the company! always made me a better employee. pizza and fun times help along with that. also what vander j said...not to piggy back. but he said it best.
  7. Best UV Flatbed out

    first off congrats! they're a workhorse if they're maintained really well. have you had any flatbed printer experience before?? and what type of stuff do you guys predominantly run? i would check the nozzle check, head lifespan, and have them print your files to get an idea of how it'll...
  8. New model HP Latex printers for 2018?

    we talking latex fb?!?!! cause yeah. I've heard it won't be publicly shown until vegas.
  9. Best UV Flatbed out

    yeah 702, there is a lot of threads here regarding new fb purchasing within your price range. def suggest checking em out and asking questions as much as possible to your sales rep! see it in person, run it, and figure out if it speaks to you and your business! also i believe you guys have a...
  10. Best UV Flatbed out

    another thing you have to remember that most speeds they give you for boards per hour are on the production modes most of the time. if you wanted really hi quality, as in same quality you get from vinyl on 10 pass and above, your looking at more like 4 to 5 boards per hour, depending on the...
  11. Best UV Flatbed out

    what exactly is the bulk of your work load and how much material are you running thru your current printer weekly?
  12. Eco Sol Max Black Ink Scratching

    +1for an overlaminate or vinyl or outsource. you're gonna have a hard time with sustained abuse on phototex. highly suggest using a floor overlam, i actually did this on a table for a buddy with the floor laminate and it took abuse of 3 kids over 2 years. pretty solid.
  13. Suggestions HP SCitex fb750 VS CET Q5-500h

    and depending on your sheet size and whatnot for these boxes you may be able to get away with a fb550, the little brother to the 750. may save a few grand, especially if this is just for prototyping. i believe you only have a 64" with or so, but you can run them long ways and still be able to...
  14. Suggestions HP SCitex fb750 VS CET Q5-500h

    the zund is an amazing machine, if you haven't taken a look at that i suggest doing so. they are absolute workhorses.
  15. Suggestions HP SCitex fb750 VS CET Q5-500h

    it'd probably depend on size restrictions but as 2ct said, fb does great with boxes. never been an issue here.
  16. Just curious what prints on ACM.

    i heard that the viewing was for definite prospective buyers? hm, maybe i will....
  17. Just curious what prints on ACM.

    yeah was hoping to see it at isa but it looks like we;'ll have to wait
  18. Best media for wall graphics

    ooh love that stuff too. perfect basic wall vinyl.
  19. Just curious what prints on ACM.

    the prints looking not great was the biggest reason we stopped. we did them on our 700 and the color just never looks as good as it does with vinyl mounted.
