Wide Format Printer Training - Thursday 7/23 7:00pm

There will be a wide format printer training of sorts tomorrow night. It’s during open-house time which adds chaos so this will be a brief informal “speed” training session and would be a good refresher for those that need it or a quick and dirty run-down for those that have some experience with these machines. I will schedule another training session next week that will be better paced and more in-depth.

Reminder: Training is required before using the Epson 7880 Wide Format printer.

Am I mistaken that “tomorrow” 7/22/2015 is Wednesday?
Also, not open house night, but BOD meeting…

Now corrected.

You are correct. The correct date for the training session is Thursday the 23rd, the day after tomorrow.

Sorry for any confusion!

is this a thing that should go on the Calendar ?

I am interested in a class, can’t this week, I have a class at Northlake

Can you print on vinyl with this printer? As an make stickers?

No. There is a vinyl cutter available for that sort of thing.

The vinyl cutter doesn’t do images and you have to layer it to get multiple colors. I wanted to print some vinyl wraps for a helment

I haven’t found a vinyl media that works with the inks that this type of
printer uses. You can see what happens, I taped a failed attempt to the
wall next to the printer. It just smears right off.

That being said, I do have adhesive-backed media that I can print to. I
have clear and white synthetic. It’s not available at DMS but I’d be happy
to print for you here at my studio. It’s 24" wide and $5/foot. A word of
caution… this isn’t stuff that works well for outdoor use (like bumper
stickers). The 7880 and the printers I have in my studio are art/photo
printers and the inks are geared for that. For outdoor type stuff you
really need a signage printer that used solvent-based inks that are
designed to hold up better under harsh sunlight and such.

Poodle. I missed this session because I usually only check the calendar for events. I’ll be more attentive to the Forums in the future.

When will the next training session be? I have projects!

@pandabob Thank you for doing another training session! How long does training take? I have another event that night which I might be able to juggle.

Thank you!!

It takes about an hour.

Also, here are some extra chars to make the forum boy happy.

It looks like I won’t be able to make it this time.

Thanks for doing the training! And I hope to catch the next one …

This is still happening, right?
