Should be an easy one? Help is appreciated!!

I'm looking for someone to do some gold leaf and hand lettering in Central Oregon—if anyone does such a thing. What's the best way to locate someone? Every shop I've called just comments on how that's "old school."

Well Though uniquely phrased, you seem to be absolutely correct. :) The prints prior looked awful, so we swapped the optimizer. I stopped short of actually printing when I saw this come off the printer after the printhead swap. Turns out, the new optimizer printhead did the tick, and the...

Just opened today. That said, it may have been on a shelf elsewhere for a while.

We were having trouble with a print, splotchy ink, bleeding between colors. I had our team replace an aging optimizer head. It pops this out. Yikes! This looks worse. What would cause this? HP Latex370 Calendered Vinyl (never had issues with this media) Any ideas?

So now here's another question. I went ahead and replaced the highest "mileage" optimizer print head, but in doing so, notice the ones in the machine were significantly lighter. New: 65g. Old (both) 45g. Every other print head: 65g. (All measurements +/- 2g). Are my optimizer printheads being...

I was leaning toward something being off with the optimizer. I can never tell when those heads go bad. With forced drop detection, both were around 800-1000. Should I just go ahead and swap both for new?

Our 570 has colors bleeding into each other. Saturation settings don't seem to have an effect--even at 50% color were bleeding but print was really losing saturation. What causes this?

I'm looking for an ADA vendor who can handle all types of architectural/ADA/wayfinding signage. Below are some of the more basic requested designs, but project also includes wayfinding elements that have various components that would require waterjet/laser cut aluminum, router cutting, etc...

We installed some contour cut wrapping vinyl on fairly rough cedar. It's peeling and now we're wondering if there is any way to save the graphic or abate the peeling, even if just for a few weeks. When originally installed, we hit it with some 3M edge sealer. Some edges are fine, while other are...

4 Ever seems like the stuff. Thank you both!

Was that a joke or was my question really vague? I'm looking for something to create a sign similar to these:

There was a company I worked with long ago that had a modular post and panel system that worked great for signs as small as 36" x 24". It was mainly based off aluminum extrusions, end caps, and then panels to comprise the sign itself. Does anyone know of a system similar that they could recommend?

The printer is now outputting a soft, pastel magenta. I've inserted a new cartidge, one that was accepted, but I'm still stuck with this, which is throwing all colors off...

Oh, ink is not expired, heads are new.
