  1. 48" x 96" digital print mounted to a customer furnished MDO signboard?

    $256 for Oracal 3165RA with 210 Lam. Another $40 to mount. NO WARRANTY on client supplied materials.
  2. backlit adhesive film

    We use the standard backlit translucent film profile from VersaWorks and double print. Yes, the prints can look a tad darker in daylight, but to me the difference is small enough that when they light up properly, it's worth the extra ink and slower print speed. We do these tripod kiosks for a...
  3. Looking for a new printer....need your opinions

    We are in the midst of making a purchase decision and probably have similar needs and preferences. Trying to decide this week and already had narrowed the field until we got news today that the only Mimaki dealer in our half of a huge state does not recommend their products and has expressed...
  4. backlit adhesive film

    That's why we try to keep these kinds of projects as uncomplicated as possible. A full coverage single decal on a good quality translucent media with a decent laminate an all attempts to keep the messages direct, simple and to the point without adding a whole bunch of special effects and such...
  5. backlit adhesive film

    If using new Lexan, usually Oracal 215 or cast. If the client is cheap and wants us to reuse an old face and doesn't expect long term durability, we'll use Oracal 210. We always warn ALL clients that expectations of durability and colorfastness have entered a new phase of climate change...
  6. backlit adhesive film

    We've had good luck with this: AVERY DENNISON MPI 2050
  7. Happy Cold Front Day...

    Hasn't rained a drop here since around May 1st. Not so much as a sprinkle.
  8. Roland VG to VG2 Firmware removes service mode, end user access deleted??

    I agree with your opinion as long as that day when you give them that money, it is in full and you don't have expectations of them coming to fix something on their dime that you muck up if you know its not a covered failure. With more and more leased equipment being placed in service, it gets...
  9. Roland VG to VG2 Firmware removes service mode, end user access deleted??

    Do you do major, potentially damaging repairs on any of your cars or trucks that are still under warranty? If most of the major printer brands are employing similar limits to end user access while the printer is under warranty, what brands are we left to choose from?
  10. Gerber Solara Ion X Flat Bed question.

    Did you ever figure out how to change your own printhead or have you retired your printer?
  11. Digi Print Supplies

    Blah.....blah.....blah........ Empty words. We'll believe major improvements are being undertaken when we see them. We have two orders that were ordered from the U.S. warehouse on the 1st, both showing being in stock, chose UPS 4 day. One won't get here until the 8th and just left the warehouse...
  12. News So Long Latex 792 and LX610 Inks...

    You haven't come off as too much of a cheerleader. Maybe those who have had negative experiences will think differently, but my experiences with your brand have been very positive, so I'm inclined to feel the way I do. I can verify my own preference for the brand by the experiences I've had...
  13. News So Long Latex 792 and LX610 Inks...

    We are in direct communications with our local reseller and others while weighing all of our options. No product or brand is perfect and careful consideration of all the pros and cons is what a conscientious consumer should do with any major equipment purchase. What we're trying to do is find...
  14. News So Long Latex 792 and LX610 Inks...

    Ummm...... because this venue is hardly the only or even the most authoritative of its kind for our industry. Throw in the fact that most people with any longevity in this trade have or should have by now made lots of friends, colleagues, peers, etc.. and can turn to them for their opinions and...
  15. Question Removing Unauthorized Cabinets?

    Because most shopping center tenants who purposely circumvent the management company and lease requirements probably aren't the best clients to cultivate and likely did what they did out of being so cheap or under capitalized that they see nothing wrong in what they did.
  16. News So Long Latex 792 and LX610 Inks...

    We are shopping for a new printer right now and while being initially attracted to the more eco-friendly aspects of HP's latex printers, its recycling program, etc... I just can't reconcile the fact that it isn't very earth friendly to build and sell something intentionally less durable that has...
  17. Am I being greedy??

    Hopefully, this little scare is a good lesson about having such a huge portion of your revenue based on one client and one with which so little room for maneuverability and added value on your part is involved. This relationship has reduced yourself to an order taker and money exchanger at the...
  18. Keeping Small HDU Letters in Place while Spraying

    We cover a 2'x8' MDO panel with all tape, sticky side out and arrange our letters on it. Just be careful about pooling at back edge of the letters. For even smaller letters, we have a rolling cart with a grating for a top that we apply strips of banner tape to. Rub a rag across the tape to...
  19. Best print quality printer

    Seriously? A couple of weeks with laminated prints on decent media? We're in a 300+ annual sun day, high UV region and now have over 5 years of examples to gauge fading from and we're not seeing anything remotely similar off a 10 year old Roland VP-540 that we're about to replace. We have a ton...
  20. Print Head soak questions...

    We have an older Roland VP-540 VersaCamm and even after replacing the captops, dampers and Black head, one channel on ONLY the black head will drop out intermittently. We can run yards and yards of prints and its fine, then out of nowhere after an inch, six inches or a foot or a couple feet of...
