no doubt if your printer is giving you the output you need for the job definitely better way to go. just giving an option to get them out of a bind. another option would be to silk screen the job. silk screen inks are more opaque than digital inks. fortunately for use we do both digital and silk...

what types of decals and quantities are you printing. maybe consider going to silk screened

you still print your white for the mirrored side so should be ok but if that is an issue use something with a clear adhesive. back when i had to do that we were printing with the roland LEJ uv printer and didn't have an issue

if it's that critical and you can't get the black opaque enough you can print one mirrored on clear material and print one on white pressure sensitive material, maybe something with a gray adhesive for extra block out and mount them together. more material and labor but it will get you where you...

not sure that is specific to realtors just the way some people are. i have a few customers that question every little thing. they order something years ago and expect it to be the same price or they order a higher qty like 100 or 500 and then order 25 or 50 and expect to have the same pricing...

we always get a target color, whether that is closest pms color (picked by customer) or they give us a swatch to match. then we will make a couple sample color swatches for them to pic from. first go around will be figured in the cost but each additional will cost extra

just throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks but... could something be out of alignment with the cutter. maybe the bed or the cutter unit. something off level or not running on the track properly. based on all the trouble shooting you have done already might want to have a tech come in...

i wrapped a couple vending machines for a customer who told me he had the material already. got it on amazon and it was this vivid vinyl. i didn't care for it. luckily it all flat surfaces so wasn't too bad but it's definitely no 3M or Avery that's for sure. i told him going forward if he wanted...

we have a fuji/acuity UV, EFI pro 16h uv and roland uv. i found that the roland uv inks have been the best all around as far as what they stick to and the fuji/acuity is worst of the 3. the fuji ink if we run it on coro we need to run the sheets through our silk screen uv dryers to cure them a...

probably want to use the R-tape vinylEFX it's a vinyl coated polyester material so it's a little thicker and won't rip so easy. if you get the polyester material that tares real easy and you want to try and stay with a simple font like helvetica or Ariel. anything with fine seriffs will also...

i did a big sign job for a car dealership last year and they were adamite about not needing permits. basically they didn't want to wait and go through all the red tape so i drew up a contract that had all kinds of wording making them liable for any fines and or costs if we had to take it down...

we have had rolands for 20 years and we are also disappointed in the truvis line. the only thing i would say also having an LG-640 is you are comparing it to the XR machine. one is a UV and the other is an eco-solvent machine so i do agree with a lot of your complaints not sure you can compare...

we have always had print/cut machines. first off we have never had an issue with the machine getting backed up due to one machine doing both print and cut. (you have time in between with outgassing and laminating)when it was an issue it was because we had enough work to justify another print cut...

have a customer that needs some window graphics that they change every 6-8 months and they requested IJ180 so i found a clear version IJ180mC-114. just wondering if anyone has used this and how the removability is?

sorry to hear that but definitely agree with you. it's not just buying the printer it's what happens after you buy the printer. local reliable tech service is as important as the machine itself.

what type of printer were they run on? i use a 13oz ultraflex smooth banner material, printed on our roll UV printer and don't have any issues. maybe an ink issue?

PMS colors will probably become a plug in you have to pay extra for. have to pay for everything NOTHING IS INCLUDED ANY MORE...:mad: i remember when i started with illustrator we bought the disc loaded it on the two computers we had and good to go for like 3-5 years. basically we didn't update...

that's what i thought also...haha

i would demo them both and see which unit will best fit your needs with the least amount of headaches. when you demo the roland see if they mention the issue with the inks and if not then ask, see what they know about it. we have a mimaki solvent machine also and it's a great unit but it has its...

not sure where in PA you are but you can try tyrrell tech in Flemington NJ, that's like 25-30 min from PA they might be able to help you
