  1. Cat's out of the bag

    I hope it's extra heads, but my bet would be a 1630 with white heads added. We find out tomorrow.
  2. Cat's out of the bag

    That'd be beaut if we did cobber ! In all fairness, I was under the impression "the cat's out of the bag" was universal slang.

  5. Cat's out of the bag

    I'm not trying to be a wanker; it was inadvertently leaked a few weeks ago, don't want to get anyone sacked. Mr. Perth might be onto something...

  11. Sheets/Roll Curling As Soon As You Laminate

    You're using the wrong Oracal laminate. 210 is a cheaper Monomeric short term laminate, it's priced accordingly. I'm also surprised anyone would put 210 on a vehicle in the first place. 215 is a full Polymeric and what you should be using. We use 4-5 rolls a week of 215 gloss on Oracal 3551...
  12. Clear Vinyl on Canon Colorado 1650?

    I didn't need to change the vacuum settings. Because the media is quite thin, the profile for optically clear uses tension take-up and the vacuum is pretty light-on anyway.
  13. Clear Vinyl on Canon Colorado 1650?

    Howdy Paul, We did try this, but it takes way longer, wastes material, and can have head strikes issues. There are generally slight usage marks on the platen where you can see the where to put the 50mm strip anyway, so all you really need to do is stick the strip on and start printing It...
  14. Clear Vinyl on Canon Colorado 1650?

    There certainly is a way Mr Square. Cut off a 50mm wide strip from the end of a roll of CAST WHITE AIR-RELEASE vinyl the same width as the roll of optically clear you are printing on. 3M IJ180 works best, it's thin, tacky, and easy to remove when you're done. Make it nice and neat, and make a...
  15. Canon Colorado 1650 FEEDBACK

    It's as Christian and Victor said. We just put the second one in last week. The ink cost saving pays the lease on the first one we put in 3 years ago. The second one means we rarely have to change rolls now until they are used up. Canon here in South Australia have been brilliant, 3 technicians...
  16. Canon Colorado 1650 Trouble Printing Fabric

    We print a stack of fabric on the Colorado - works great, really tough. I suspect Squared has the tension bar in the "locked" position, needs to be unlocked so the bar can fall and pull on the fabric. Regarding ink price, it's $240/litre (Australian), but it's not as relevant as how much it...
  17. Looking for laminator recommendation

    Get a Kala Mistral. We laminate a fair amount of cast wrap vinyl (5-6 rolls a week) with zero failures and beautiful results. With the unique loading path for the printed vinyl there's only 200mm of wastage at the beginning, then you can confidently laminate a full 50 metre roll with no drift at...
  18. CANON OCE 1650 Printer Lamination Not Needed?

    Well actually I did, but we already have that covered with the RTR Colorado , you'd never do it on a flatbed. The original question on this thread was about laminating UV printing for vehicles, which as I mentioned ain't successful with standard single carriage UV printers no matter the price...
  19. CANON OCE 1650 Printer Lamination Not Needed?

    Hello Paul, My question was a bit facetious, it's not achievable with UV without separating the 2 processes. Printing truck sides with an Inca Onset ? Wow that would be something. I think Mr AlsEU is having me on..... I'm not interested in the HP R series, but how have you found your Arizona...
  20. CANON OCE 1650 Printer Lamination Not Needed?

    Now I'm curios, we're currently in the market for a Flatbed/Hybrid UV printer, which brand are you referring to ? I've watched in person and seen samples from all of the recognized brands available in Australia, some of the prints are fabulous especially the SwissQ. None of them offer a smooth...
