  1. Will your CET flatbed or any of your flatbed printer prints wipe off with alcohol?

    Will your CET flatbed (or any brand printer flatbed prints) wipe off with alcohol? We're getting a new CET installed today and went to wipe off a mark on a finished print with a rag with alcohol on it and noticed we could remove ink. It didn't just fall off, but it did come off. The harder we...
  2. Gerber CAT-UV 5'x10' flatbed printer, now only $3000

    Paid over $85k in 2011. Why only $3000 .. is it broken? No, we use it every day. We're upgrading in two weeks and don't have the room for this CAT-UV after the upgrade. Also, as you likely know.. Gerber quit making flatbed printers and so the long term availability of parts and such is...
  3. Gerber CAT-UV flatbed for sale. $5,000.

    $4,000 takes it. If you have one, you may want this one just for parts ...even though it is currently running just fine.
  4. Gerber CAT-UV flatbed for sale. $5,000.

    Taking offers. The machine is in Bloomington Illinois. I've got 4 weeks to get it out of here. -Tom
  5. Gerber CAT-UV flatbed for sale. $5,000.

    Gerber CAT-UV flatbed printer for sale. This machine was $80k+ when we purchased it in 2011. Ours has the roll-feed add-on. Prints a full 5'x10'. We use it all day every day. The only drawback (other then the fact that Gerber quit making them) is the speed. We need something faster. It...
  6. Gerber FX -vs- Summa DC5sx

    Gerber FX -vs- Summa DC5sx There are some jobs that just require a thermal printer. For example, we use transparent foil prints on clear vinyl as an overlay on reflective signs. It reflects much brighter than any kind of inkjet overlay. Anyhow, I can get either of these two printers for the...
  7. Gerber CAT-UV for Sale

    I'd be interested in selling our CAT-UV for $40k. It was over $85k in 2011. It has the banner attachment that makes it a hybrid. Any interest? We use it every day. Just wanting newer/faster and yes...I'm also concerned about ongoing support from Gerber. It'd have to be dismantled prior to...
  8. Who makes the "best" UV flatbeds?

    First, the poll feature in this forum is VERY limited. Also, notice that I didn't say what is the best printer.. but, "who" as in brand and not machine. It isn't about features or usability or anything specific about a particular printer. It is about the reliability, service and quality of the...
  9. What colors of exposed sign holding hardware would be usefull?

    Good idea, but not possible with the materials that these items are made out of.
  10. Who makes the "best" UV flatbeds?

    I saw the Durst at ISA. What a behemoth. I left that out on purpose. Not many shops have the space or money for something like that. Also, I ran out of space in the poll. The limit was 50 lines.

  12. Replacing Gerber Cat - Oce' vs CET vs Flora

    We're also looking at replacing our CAT/UV. It has been a solid machine. Anyone want to buy it? It actually still works fine. We use it every day. We want more speed AND I'm concerned about the long term availability of its inks. One dealer told me that pretty much every company uses the...

  15. Who makes the "best" UV flatbeds?

    Who makes the "best" UV flatbeds? I'm looking at brand reviews and not model reviews. I know I won't get all of them. I'm only trying to include those that have models in the $80k to $300k range and I'm only including current makers of flatbed UV printers. Only vote if you own one of these...
  16. New flatbed advise

    We have a Gerber Cat/UV and heard a rumor that the ink manufacturer will stop making the inks for it in about 6 months. I hope that isn't true. I just went to ISA's International Sign Expo and I was amazed by the number of $80k to $120k flatbeds. Back when we got the Gerber Cat/UV, it was...
  17. Snark-Free Response Forum

    By the way. I love snark in some places. eg: when duly directed at something and note someone AND it needs to be funny and not insulting. The item reviews of this Amazon item are one of the best examples of funny snark ever assembled.
  18. Snark-Free Response Forum

    I'm sure psychologists could explain why some people need to be snarky, but I've always just viewed it as a waste of time as it becomes a drag on any conversation. In much of the "real world" the closet snarky people are too scared of getting punched in the face to share their snarky comments...
  19. What colors of exposed sign holding hardware would be usefull?

    Good Idea, but in this case ...this isn't an option. We have to commit to a large quantity or not do it.
