Hi Everyone, We've just purchased an old Seiko STW-8B walking foot machine with a view to dipping our toe into banner sewing. Searching on the forum I can see people are using either V69 or V92 to sew their banners, and referring to the Sailrite thread and needle guide I can see a #18 or #20...

Does anyone based in the UK have a source for UV-printable, coloured tarpaulin material? I'm looking for a manufacturer or distributor of the raw material, as opposed to a printer / fabricator of finished tarpaulins. Just to be clear - I'm after tarpaulin material, not banner material. Thanks...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had thought about repurposing a pizza wheel, but the screen wheel is available in the uk for just a few quid. I’ll get one of those ordered and give it a try.

Happy Friday! I'd like to know if anyone (but particularly anyone in the UK) has or knows of an off the shelf, hand held tool for creasing card and other substrates. I've used the back of a dinner knife, a box cutter with the blade retracted and even my finger nails in the past, but I'd like...

So I've run a couple of banners yesterday afternoon from the new roll of media, and the alignment was much improved. I unwound the remnants on the old roll of media and this was very tight - there was no air between the layers on the roll and I had to apply pressure to get it to unwind across my...

I agree re' not getting perfect alignment - it's just in this instance the degree to which it's misaligned is far greater than I've previously encountered. My new roll of banner material has now arrived, and I'm interested to see if that works better than the roll end I was using yesterday.

I'm using a Mimaki UJV100-160. Previously I've produced several 7.5 metre (24ft) double-sided banners and only experienced "stretch" of around 1" on the 2nd side. I'm currently getting a third as much stretch on about a fifth of the print length. Spoke with my supplier yesterday - they suggested...

Hi Folks, I'm printing some double-sided banners for a client on blockout banner material. I've done quite a few previously but never had much success accurately aligning the 2nd side to the 1st. In this instance the banners are quite small and the print length around 1400mm. Even so, the print...

Hi Folks, I've searched on here and can see some good advice for my predicament, but much of it is quite old and I'd be grateful for some more up to date advice: I have a client who wants me to fit printed vinyls to as many as three outdoor banners. The banners are 3yd x 6yd and already...

I’ve had a UJV100-160 since April and all is good here. I opted for a separate cutter to maximise throughput. I went for a cmykww version but one thing to consider here - when ordering I had to specify whether the white was laid down before or after the cmyk, you can’t have both. As I...
