wanted to follow back up here -- i spent about 30 feet of material on calibrations, testing, etc.. ya win some and lose some.. BUT I did manage to get increasingly better quality by increasing the optimizer level. When I brought over the original profile that Sihl recommended, it was plugging in...

Have you been able to find the magic answer for this profile?? I just ordered and received my first roll of this material, as it was a bit cheaper and seemed to be comparable to the roll-up material we were previously using. I'm experiencing the same color/quality issues with the profile that I...

Is there anyone out there that's used either of these materials?? Reviews?? Info on supplier reliability, performance, lifespan out in the elements, etc. We would be printing on an HP Latex 365. Eco-Smart Recycled Non-woven PET Banner Material 15 mil...

also, depends on if you're using indoor or outdoor application. the ones i mentioned above are for indoor. There are honestly tons of options - I think the key words of embossed texture, or i've heard some called 'pebble' texture.

yes! we've used a few different kinds - 'textured/embossed' laminates.. we've been using them for our floor graphics... we are NOT using the cheapest materials out there, just fyi - they've been vetted through our University's office of Disability Resources, so I'm sure there are much more...

ah, that's great news. I would hope that with a machine of its stature, that it should be able to handle this task. Thank you!

wondering if anyone running an HP R1000 series can answer for me - does this machine print borderless onto substrates? From my understanding, it does not because it doesn't have an ink collector. If this is the case, how much of a gutter is needed? What is your workflow for these types of...

is anyone using a Konica Minolta AccurioWide 160 or 200? We're in the market for a flatbed/hybrid, and we are considering the KM AccurioWide 200. Wondering if anyone has experience with this machine? Curious if it can print ink thick enough for braille signs? Also wondering your overall thoughts...

Hey y'all, Looking for info on the Canon Oce Arizona 460 - if you are using it, do you love it? hate it? any tips, tricks, concerns, etc? Also looking for a base price point on the Arizona 460 - we are looking at a few different machines, just got some budget approval, so i'm trying to...

happy I could help!! I definitely have made the mistake of accidentally cutting through cut setting on the kiss cut blade location #1, and I've had to replace my teflon strip after, so i recommend always double checking that blade location before hitting the cut now button (learn from my...

yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I have a blade to cut thicker materials, but I just don't think it's worth it to try to put the machine through the struggle. Thanks for the reply :D

we use the graphtec fc8600 as well. We have a 45 degree blade and a 60 degree blade. Both blades can interchange for kiss cutting or through cutting, as long as you are changing the location where your blade is seated - position 1 vs position 3. If you try to cut through cut on position 1, you...

Hey y'all Wondering if anyone has had any experiences with contour cutting 13oz scrim vinyl material? We have a Graphtec FC8600. I work for a university, and our athletics department is asking if we can print vinyl and have it cut to a jersey shape. I'm thinking that this would end up being a...

Wondering if there's anyone here who is familiar with this machine? What are the pros, but more importantly, what are the cons? We are poking around the market for a flatbed printer (ideally, the HP Latex R1000+, but we all have dreams). The size of this machine is appealing to us, since we are...

coro can only be recycled in certain areas - for something short term, maybe a falcon or eaglecell board? idk, i've never honestly used them.. always looking for alternatives to coroplast but havent had much luck.... my boss showed me this stuff that he's ordered through one of our print...

curious about your findings here? We're always trying to offer sustainable alternatives for our clients. having difficulty with certain things myself - I couldn't find a good alternative to pvc banners, so we started a takeback program, and we are working with a local non-profit to make tote...

Wondering if anyone is using Grimco's Duratex 8mil double-sided display film? We're using an HP Latex 365 printer, and I'm curious if anyone has a profile they'd be willing to share Grimco doesn't have any mention of what profile to use, HP's media locator doesn't pull up Duratex, I've tried the...

i agree with the aluminum. i was going to recommend something like that but i know that they'll say that they only want something temporary, which is why they were learning toward the banner. I think i'll have them go with the 18oz vs the 13oz, and I'll recommend that they hang it a little...

i took a look at them but i honestly don't know how to read through this stuff. figured i'd see if anyone here had any expertise. i've attached the info I was able to pull.. it's all confusing to me. :covereyes:

Hey y'all. We just got a job in for our campus dining department. they've got an area above a small oven where they would like to hang a banner. They are asking if a vinyl banner is a good option - it will only be up for about 2 months. I've uploaded their mockup for reference to oven and...
