    Troy, We’ve had our Colex 5x10 table for over a year now and we love it. So far the accuracy has been on the ball. Support has been really good as well. My personal opinion, the support Presale that I received from Colex over Summa was by far greater. The support we have received after the...

    We have a Colex and when we need to do reverse, we drill the holes in front and then flip it. It should recognize the 1/4" marks. Hope this helps.
  5. We are thinking of getting a CNC Router, but This was interesting

    It is all a matter of budget and job requirements. Yes, Zund and Esko are the Ferraris of the cutter/router arena but, most of the times you do not need them to drive at 55 MPH on the freeway. These are much faster but it all depends how much work you have to cut a day. They come with a price...

  9. Just In Product examples/situaions where you WOULDN'T need lamination

    Give your customer TWO prices, with and without laminate. Let them choose their price point. Some customers rather pay more and play it safe and some other will take risks, if they choose not to laminate the responsibility falls on them. It will always be better to laminate, for longevity and...

    Radji, if you need to produce Coroplast signs, you will need either a Latex or Eco-solvent printer and a laminator to mount these with. Latex has been a good addition to our production area.
