  1. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    To put this to rest now. Install happened today in order to allow paint to dry completely....my client wisely took some extra time for that to happen. Used the 180 CV1 and it stuck like glue!!! Apparently they were not ready for the thinner material and almost ruined a panel. All is right...
  2. colorburst and flexi compatible?

    I have colorburst for my Vuteks. Not sure how it differs for the Epsons....Should be compatible with flexi if you set up hot folders or print server.
  3. Saw this on Yahoo news...

    Vermont Police sticker Kinda like where's Waldo!! hahahhaa
  4. Weird printing problem.

    We get similar issues with our large printers. Typically caused by improper material movement Thru the printer causes it. Either rollers are slick and not grabbing....too much heat...sometimes particular colors are really tough to have come out smooth in general.
  5. 4Over Loyalty Program?

    You are then competing against the company you outsource to. They are no longer a Partner in your business growth but a competitor to it.
  6. Prepping unfinished wood for car wrap vinyl

    Why not go with something more like Arlon DPF 8000 or 3m IJ 160? Maybe even go with 3552 instead of IJ 180.
  7. Clogged heads - suggestions needed

    Eeeek....those are not pretty. You can do the flush from the cartridges....might help. Mind me asking...how did they get that way?
  8. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    Nope...I did not test. That is up to my client this time to be sure the wall is ready to be applied to. Have spoken at great lengths with them today I am using advised material per 3m rep...etc etc. They needed to do Their homework for install purposes and I have a feeling that the paint may...

  13. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    My client...whos selling to and installing for jet Blue said yesterday they want a thicker vinyl. I gave them an option of a 2mil cast 180C or whatever other brand they wanted even. We're not going with DPF 8000. Phototex...Im sure it would work....again...they want a "permanent" solution...
  14. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    I know...gotta love 3m and their "support" for us sign makers who use their products. The kicker is it failed where there was NO ink at all too! Just laminated white vinyl. Looking around Im seeing Arlon DPF 6700 as a wall wrap Cast vinyl and thinking this would be a good solution. Other...

    To answer that...I honestly dont know what the paint surface was. Yes...it was up to my client to determine that. Still not sure what to go with here...
  16. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    Questions and answers from/to 3m Rep: A couple of questions:1) What type of wall was the graphic applied to 2) Was it painted , what type of paint used and how long was it allowed to dry 3) IJ 35 has a permanent adhesive.......With permanent adhesive, this shouldn't happen 4) IJ35 is almost...
  17. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    I understand that Chris...and thanks for the heads up on doing the adhesion test. But as of right now, I think I need to go with the best solution we can come up with at the moment to fix the issue. They had to take down the graphics in Chicago yesterday because they looked horrible and could...

    HH 66 has its uses....not for hemming IMO. Too dang messy....
  19. Grommets and Banner Stands

    Just a good x spider stand will be good. 4 small groms on corners and done.
  20. Major Failure of IJ 35-20

    Yeah chris....I hope they have time to do it now. Think we'll have to reprint on the fly and my client is going to have to install end of week. IM thinking of the Flexcon or avery material at this point. Maybe bite the bullet and go with controltak just to be sure. Need to talk to my flexcon...
