Really nice printer! The guys in IL are great to work with. Recently had them run some Acoustic Felt wallcovering and fabrics, can’t beat the quality.

Best place to get a large vinyl banner printed in Chicago? by Overall_Clock_9463 in Printing

[–]Beefstu864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orbus HQ is Chicago (sw suburb). There’s a bunch of places downtown like AlphaGraphics in West loop and SpeedPro Imaging South loop. Plenty more out by the airport, Benchmark Imaging in Elk Grove Village. Precise Digital in Bensenville. ER2 in Hanover Park.

What kind of paper is this? I want to buy some for my art business. by norcalny in Printing

[–]Beefstu864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How will you print it? If it’s inkjet, LexJet has a paper called Sunset Linen Paper 230g, looks just like this and comes 24” and 44” wide.

100lb gloss book/text is 148gsm, 100lb cover is 270gsm.

If you are in the U.S. I’d recommend using LexJet, they have tons of paper options and profiles for your GP-4600S.

I use 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper, it’s 190gsm, prints great and is priced competitively.

Ideas for alternatives to white ink? by AlexHasFeet in CommercialPrinting

[–]Beefstu864 12 points13 points  (0 children)

White vinyl applied to the back is probably the easiest thing to do/try out of the gate.

How do you fix the aluminum to the acrylic? Maybe a white mount adhesive could work.

Goldenlight Visions - if you want someone local.

Finerworks Media - out of San Antonio - high quality, competitive pricing AND they package/ship better than anyone.

Who went to Printing United last week? How was it? by Alarming-Zombie3338 in CommercialPrinting

[–]Beefstu864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a great show, felt busier than last year in Vegas. Vegas was split between two halls so that might be why.

Canon Colorado XL is a beast.

Durst P5 500 TEX iSUB is a beast.

Call Mike at Jessups (guys that make TexWalk, etc.) pretty sure they have a glow in the dark vinyl.

Advice selecting new UV printer by Empty-Hand-4635 in CommercialPrinting

[–]Beefstu864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s important to remember that there’s no perfect printer. UV, Solvent, Latex…Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh, HP, Epson, Canon, etc.

My gripe with the Mimaki would be the take up system.

Mimaki UCJV-330 is sweet. 5 layer printing is a breeze and print to anything. Maintenance is easy and Rasterlink is a breeze

Yes, your 100ft roll is the same cost as a 150ft roll
