I originally purchased a GEO Knight GK20 with Auto Release (GK20A) with stand. It's a quality clam type machine. About a year later that offered a upgrade to add digital pressure guage. The help I received by phone was very good but having to manually place the pressure sensor by me has meant...

That looks nice. Did you clear coat it afterwords, looks like it has a lacquer coating over the graphic but that may just be gloss from the print or laminate. I'm not a fan of burial, I prefer cremation. It would be nice for cremation if you could print onto fabric and do a throw or something...

Do you have formal training in sculpting? I never thought I could draw until I started playing DrawSomthing on my iPad. I still can't draw but I made noticeable improvements in a week or two. Being able to sketch what is in my brain would help a lot in my sign work and discussing things with our...

Pigment ink is good and most desktop inkjets use pigment ink. One trick I've done when we printed transfers on our Canon iPF8100 is to let it dry a little extra and then spray it down with clear coat you can pick up at Lowe's or maybe Wal-Mart. Let that dry. I have two shirts one I heat...

What machine are you trying to hookup via serial port? Both USB and Serial have a length limit do to the resistance in the wire itself that leads to loss of signal. If there is an option to add a Network card to your equipment that is the best option and you can easily run it hundreds of feet...

Printed for $1.75ea is fine and maybe a little high but he said they were decals and he weeded them and all that goes with it. For the qty of 250-500 I doubt she would get $25ea but if they were one offs or just a few $25 isn't crazy. I doubt you would sell those same printed rectangles if they...

2.25" x 20" for $.50 no wonder he sold the business. Even a $1 for one color doesn't seem like a good deal. Instead of decals you could offer to do them as a bumper stick and outsource it to a printer.

Are you sure the GX24 can't read the 4 marks provided by the BN20? My Graphtec can read a registration mark with 3 and 4 targets. I would hope being the same brand that your Roland GX24 can also read the marks from the BN20. It may need to be changed in the software you are using for printing on...

Thanks for posting this on S101. I am considering the BN-20 as well but I also found out about GO EcoMax 24" which is a Epson 7700 converted to use the new Sepiax inks. They added some pre/post heating elements to make the ink stick to materials. From what I've read the EcoMax with Sepiax ink is...

Is it just not catching or maybe doesn't have enough force to keep it? Maybe better springs as artbot suggested would help.

Has anyone converted a Epson 7700 to handle Sepiax ink? Meaning adding pre-heaters. I was looking at the GO EcoMax 24" for $7,995 which is a converted Epson 7700, as I understand it. Currently Epson has the 7700 for $2,995 and until end of April they have $750 rebate making it $2,245...

So tbaker what is the horror story with your JV3 to Sepiax ink conversion?

I just did some quick math after reading the brochures and comparions PDF's on the GO website for the EcoMax 24. From what I understand the ink costs are: Epson 220cc (0.22 liter) $69.99 or $318.14 per Liter Sepiax 1 Liter $197.50 or $26.54 per 220cc That's saves $120.64 per liter of ink using...

Does Wasatch support the EcoMax 24? I was looking at the Roland BN-20 when I remembered this post and saw an add in Digital Output magazine for the GO printers. I've read the Sepiax ink doesn't do well on PVC/Vinyl. I'm assuming this is standard caladered or cast vinyl used for vinyl decals...

I've been reading a lot on S101 over the past few weeks about the new crop of chinese printers. One said they only have the larger format printers 60" or larger available. I only have room for a 20 or 30" like BN-20 or SP-300i. Are there any of these new chinese sourced printers in the 20 or...

I saw the machine at ISA a few weeks ago but didn't get a demo. I'm only reconsidering it because of the white-ink. I wish they updated it with the option to do White and Metallic at the same time like Mimaki.

So I got an email today about the Roland BN-20. Apparently via a software update you can now do 720dpi which doubles the speed. But to me the more interesting bit is that you can now use White Ink instead of the metallic. Also they are extending the ISA show special until April 30th which...

It's good. What machines and purpose do you see using it?

Go directly to the manufacturers and look for the press section of the website. If not email them.

How does the material and consumable costs of Gerber stack (Edge + Plotter) vs a more traditional Eco-Solvent stack (Roland,Mimaki,ect...)? I also looked at the Gerber and Summa thermo printers. The 30" Summa looks really nice but the the consumables cost is much higher and resolution is lower...
