  1. Uv Printing Palight (PVC) - Static Issues & Ink Misting

    Hey Guys, We are having a little bit of trouble with printing on PVC Palight (Grimco Brand). We think static is playing an issue with the print heads. We are getting Ink misting on the blank white areas - Its not a ton but it is noticeable and has been a pain to go back and clean up. Any...
  2. looking for a stand alone humidifier

    Visit Homedepot or lowes and get a small humidifier- 850 sq ft doesn’t require much. We had a humidifier for the winter and dehumidifier for the summer, we stay right around 50% for our uv printers - Spent $300 on each unit roughly - each unit is rated for up to 3500 sq ft - my shop is 2600 sq...

    What are you using to clean your print heads?? What chemical ??
  4. Small Printer/Plotter

    I’ll agree with Victor, Ronald BN 20 is really slow. It’s a great entry level printer and I’ve personally owned one. Why not just buy smaller rolls of material so you get less waste ?? I personally stay away from 1 and 2 order items, never able to pull enough profit for my time.
  5. Need Suggestions on upgrading our UV Flatbed Printer and Flatbed Cutter

    As Pauly Stated - 100% make sure to visit the dealer or even better visit a shop that has the equipment in action. Get onsite samples competed, Video & mailed samples are worthless. So many dealers will tell you that there machines will cut anything and will do it super fast. To truly get nice...
  6. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    The prints from the Roland were great but the smell was just unbearable
  7. Flatbed Printers

    I would 100% contract your signs out to a B2b printer like Firesprint. Owning a flatbed is a nice though but they are a lot of work and require constant attention. Expect to pay well over $3k per year for a service contact (most likely more) they don’t cover print heads either, depending on the...

    A window scraper blade works well to get extra ink off the bed and you can use a needle to clear vacuum holes. I would never purposely print directly on the bed - get some cheap paper & painter tape and have template files setup. As Bal stated all the extra ink that goings into the table is...
