Just add me to the list of laminators. We use optically clear here.

I know I'm late on the conversation, but have you check with 3m, Avery or Oracal about the length of warranty offered on the machines you are looking at? 3M has a 7 year warranty on the Seiko M-seires with IJ180cv3-10 and 8518 laminate. That sounds like a strong horse to saddle.

Why not print the 2 posters and stick them together with a double sided adhesive? A little time consuming, but a nice clean look with the correct paper.

Under the Configure Printer section, go to media tab. Press Export button. Check the medias you would like to back up. Press Export and Save.

I know a tech in Atlanta. Pm me for his contact.

I had a similar issue using a Summa T-series. +1 on the 60° blade. Also slowed the head speed down.

We have a L26500 and a LX800. We prefer our HP9000, solvent printers, over the latex. When stretching around complex curves, the ink color stays more consistent. For the flatter not so complex items, latex has been fine.

On our FB700 I have found that when the job is in ONYX, I can select the Color Correction tab and adjust my white. I will usually run +75 or higher.

I haven't experimented with any of the European profiles, but have tested various output profiles after creating my own printer profiles. When I find the ones that are best suited for what I am printing, I note them for future reference.

We have a FB700. It's a good machine. To verify that it would be the best fit for your shop, I would go and test that machine and a couple others to make sure that it would be the correct fit for you.

We use the 3M IJ180cv3-10 with Oracal 290GF or 3M 8518 depending on the customer.

Seiko M-64, a Seal Pro D laminator & a Summa T-series plotter. If you want my 2 cents. (or would that be 3 cents)

From what I have seen, that is true with about every printer. Back in the scotchprint days, that was a necessity.

Here's what I do. At the print tab, I press the print setup button. Then I press the Marks tab and check the box Crop and Crop Outline. It gives me a faint black/grey line around my print.

Casey Rocks!!!!! :rock-n-roll:

We have a FB700 now. Reds are a sore spot. Max DPI is the only way to hit a good red with the canned profiles. If you have the capability/time to write a custom profile, you would be better off. If you are using Caldera, Scott @ HP Atlanta might have something to help you.

Is there a possibility that there is some media on the bottom of the carriage? Looks like a serious head strike you had. Also, check for debris at the capping station.

Ok, I have to comment on this. I think we as people/professionals in the trade should come up with our own standards for testing people in what we specialize in. Example, if an installer says he has been in the business 10 years and has a boat load of certifications, give him a panel and have...

Red Chrome update. Avery has a red chrome available that is 48" wide. There is also product made by Tec that is available. It is 59" wide. Substantial price difference.

Amazing, Fellers is one of the people trying to track this down.
