Has anyone used LG LD3911 vinyl and / or the matching laminate LP3912? Need some reasonable eco solvent printable vinyl for some prints being mounted to flat substrate (no contour cutting required). Any good?

Hi, Question for you guys with Roland printers and particularly RE640... Can you print at a decent speed and use the take up reel without an additional dryer? Mostly interested in regard to vinyl but other materials as well. Thanks.

Hi, When we mount internal boards on Foam PVC we mount them to an oversized sheet using a laminator THEN cut them down. This means we don't have to worry about getting the prints mounted dead square and also that the leading edge is outside of the print area so we can cut this away as it...

Hi, I'm interested in knowing which mild / eco solvent printer uses the longest lasting and/or most scratch resistant ink? Any opinions? Thanks.

Considering this machine is a fair few years old now and heads have moved on / been improved etc, would you still consider buying one new today? Or are there better out there for the money? Thanks.

Hi, What sort of thickness of material can the various Summa models handle? Thinking of producing floor graphics with a suitable laminate... So a normal thickness SA vinyl with say a 200 micron (max) textured laminate. Would the Summa Cut / D series models handle this OK? Or would I need an...

Hi, We mainly do printing for internal use so this isn't something I know a huge amount about... If I take a 3 year vinyl and print on it with 3 year eco sol inks, generally speaking, I can expect that print to last 3 years outside before noticeable fading occurs. Correct? So if I laminated...

Hi, Does anyone use Roland printers with the eco sol max ink to print PVC scrim type banners? Do you find they're durable enough or do the inks scratch too easily? Would a proper solvent or UV printer work better or would you say the eco sol inks are "good enough"? Thanks.

With the JV33 being one of, if not the, most popular solvent / eco solvent printers over the last few years, why does no one seem to be interested in the JV400 in either latex or particularly SUV format? As I understand it, Mimaki are probably the 3rd most popular manufacturer of printers of...

What are peoples thoughts on the above? Saw one in action today and it looks very interesting. Ricoh head, instant dry prints and extremely scratch resistant prints. Construction and media handling seems to be pretty much the same as the JV33 but obviously different head, ink and a bank of UV...

Hi, We've had an inquiry in which involves covering up some existing signs which have been engraved in marble with some new signs. One sign is internal and one is external, both are approximately 2400mm x 600mm. One idea that's been suggested is to produce the new signs on brushed finish...

Hi, I'm sure I've read on here that with a slight modification the L26500 can load media slightly wider than it's normal 61 inches. Does anyone have any information about how that is done and how wide it can actually handle? It would be extremely useful to be able to load 63 inch (1600mm) wide...

Which would you go for any why? I need to make a decision ASAP as HP are running a deal that expires at the end of the week. After rebates both are around the same price. Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone have one of these printers or have an opinion on them? We're looking at the S30670 (Same as S30600) model? I know previous Epson printers have had issues with inks fading prematurely. Should we be concerned about this? How about build, general operation, print quality etc...

I see this mentioned a lot on here. Can someone enlighten me please? Thanks.

Are there any particular uses where a 1.6M wide cutter would be essential? I was under the impression that a lot of vinyls come in a maxim width of 1.3M anyway. Also, is it not extremely difficult to fit a 1.6M wide graphic in one section? Please forgive my ignorance here.

What characteristics are most important for a rip station? Fast processor? Multiple processors? RAM? Harddrive space? Graphics card? Thanks.

Hi, We're thinking about geting a Summa cutter mostly to cut printed graphics. We only offer print at the moment and this will be our first cutter. Because of this we don't expect volume to be too great initially. Things we plan to print / cut are decals, logos, stickers, floor graphics, window...

Hi, We're looking for an external printer that we can use in an office environment. I know latex is ideal for this but unfortunately it doesn't seem to print well on the materials we need. So unless I'm missing something, this seems to leave us with eco solvent. Question... Which eco solvent...

Hi, We're looking at various printers at the moment and we've just been to see the jv33. The resellers were confident that no extraction or ventilation was needed if running the ss21 inks. In fact they said they've not sold a single unit with an extraction system included. We're in a 33 x...
