I’ll soon be in the market for a new laminator. We’re still using the original US Tech model we started our business with over 10 years ago. Since we do a lot of wall graphics, we typically run full rolls of material through the machine. I’m looking for something more reliable and less finicky...

This is what I thought. Thanks!

Hi! I’m trying to run an opacity test using white in from 50% to 5%. The ink stays wet from 30% and below. I can wipe it off with a rag. Is there something that I need to do to cure the ink? I’m running a Roland versa object with v-bond ink.

Hi everyone! We recently got a flatbed UV printer and I am still figuring out my pricing. Do you charge more for designs that use a white underbase? Thanks!

So far the v-bond sticks well. I haven’t compared it to the euv5 ink. I was told it adheres better by our rep and the Roland guys. We work a lot with museums too. We noticed it had less of a smell.

We’ve had good luck with sherwin Williams promar 200 on all the commercial walls we’ve done. Usually lighter colors. Guardz has also been really good for adhesion.

I have one. We went with the V-Bond ink. Cmyk with dual gloss and white. Had it for about a year now. Quality is really good but it is slow. We love it but if we had different circumstances we may have gone with a different printer. Depends on your needs.

Is pvc bad for exterior signs? This compile Whats wrong with pvc for exterior signs? The brand I’m actually using is 1” thick komacel. It says it’s for exterior signage..

Why not use cast vinyl?

When our print has stopped to clean itself it picks right up from where it stopped. It has always stopped between panels when we print murals.

I’m installing a 36” Sentra blade sign on an exterior store front. Is it better to direct uv print or latex print on cast vinyl with laminate and then mount that to the sign?

Wow that sucks. Have you received your anti static bar yet? We had an issue with clogged nozzles and had the head replaced. I think it was my fault though. Are things any better?

How much is the tech support/ warranty for the canon?

The benefit is instant lamination. I’ve printed and installed color dense murals the same day. Also, I’ve never had issues with heat and optimizer except for the hot week our hvac went down. I have a feeling that people who have problems with this printer don’t have adequate climate control in...

We always spec out the paint ahead of time and do a sight visit. I’ve tested so many lines of paint and have determined what works the best with 40c. Haven’t had anything problems if the wall is prepared right.

I’m not a fan. I only have roll to roll latex machines. Maybe if I had the Canon Colorado. We already do Phototex for short term low traffic walls. I like to laminate for longe term wraps. I’m really trying to find a cheaper equivalent to 3m 40c and 35c.

Anyone use Arlon dpf 4400 for wall wraps. I’m looking into 3m 40c alternatives. Any thoughts?

Thanks for this insight. I haven’t really looked into the differences in the types of calendar films. We’ve just always stayed with 40c because it works and so many others agree. I’m interested if you have any suggestions on comparable film that is cheaper?

Haven’t had this issue at all. My only issue with Epson is the tech they sent when we had an issue. The guy took two weeks to fix the machine

We’ve been doing wall wraps for 10 years with 3m 40c-20 and Avery 2080 matte laminate. It works great. We use this in our Epson r5070 and HP latex 365.
