You Print to it, and it Sticks

Print-N-Stick Video

Not only does it stick, but LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric is repositionable and removable. As the video embedded below illustrates, the repositionable adhesive on the back of this bright-white fabric makes it super-simple to print, apply, reposition and remove with no residue.

Compatible with aqueous printers, including the latest from Canon, Epson and HP, LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric provides true photo-quality printing for a variety of applications, chief among those applications being wall murals and wall cut-outs.

It can also be used for signs, windows and other flat surfaces. It will not rip, wrinkle or stretch in production and provides higher ink saturation and a bright-white print surface for deeper, sharper colors than most inkjet fabrics on the market.

See how easy it is to print, stick, reposition and remove in the video below…

A Sky High, Wire Walking Diversion in Sarasota

Nik Wallenda does a high wire walk across US 41 in SarasotaThere are a lot of great reasons to visit Sarasota, Fla., chief among them is LexJet headquarters. There are also white sand beaches with azure waters, a temperate climate, Major League spring training, museums, top-notch restaurants, and so forth.

What also makes Sarasota unique is the unexpected. No, not hurricanes, which are actually fairly rare on the southwest coastline of Florida, but the impromptu odd events that happen here and there.

Today it was high-flying (or walking) acrobat and high-wire artist Nik Wallenda, who describes himself as King of the Wire. Wallenda wowed a crowd with a skywalk across US 41, the main drag through Sarasota.

Suspended about 180 feet in the air, Wallenda made the 500-foot-long walk from the top of a crane to an adjacent building without a tether. The wind picked up more than expected, but Wallenda made it safely across to the cheers of thousands who stopped to watch.

Our man on the scene, LexJet videographer Sean McGettigan, captured the moment in the video embedded below. Sean, by the way, also creates all the handy how-to videos you can find at our YouTube site: www.youtube.com/lexjet. Thanks Sean, and enjoy Wallenda’s daredevil walk Sean captured today…

Custom Media Types for Epson SureColor Printers

Setting up custom media types for inkjet printersWhen printing with an Epson SureColor printer, like the S30670, S50670 or S70670, we recommend that you customize settings for each media that you print to. When setting up a custom media type on the front panel of the printer, settings like:

  • Paper Feed Adjustment (corrects horizontal banding)
  • Head Alignment (corrects grainy print results)
  • Heating & Drying Temperatures
  • Roll Type (important if you use reverse-wound media)

…are all dialed in to the optimum settings for a particular media. This will help ensure that you are getting the most out of the media you are printing to with regard to both print quality and print performance in the field.
