druxey Posted June 23, 2023 Share #4 Posted June 23, 2023 48 hours?

Nirvana Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted June 24, 2023 It has... the surface will require very little after-work prior painting. But 16 days of effective printing that's a long time. However, I have seen even longer printing time, towards 80 hours. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and Canute 2 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
