  2. HP L26500 End of Life!

    I have a question for the public, I know off brand inks will still be available, but what about cleaning kits ?

  10. Transfer tape for etched glass ?

    thank you for your response. I also noticed after the wet install there are often “streaks” left behind. Like where water or air is still left behind. Will this evaporate over time, like in the 24 hour period you mentioned?

  18. Gemini Plaque Pricing

    I have a customer who needs some plaques done for a new building. The customer is the county government board of supervisors. Gemini quoted me $7000.00 for the products.
