are you getting any banding? we also have an S80600 and had a few jobs were we were printing 4-5 full rolls of a solid spot colour and we had issues with banding, but the colour was pretty much perfect across the whole run. here are a few suggestions that might help 1- Run gutters on the job...

"It looked fine when I looked at it on my phone in the drive-thru"

Possibly because it's not dye-sub? Dye-sub doesn't hold up in industrial environments, the plate in the photo is MetalPhoto, we order a ton of them

Exactly, Imagine if while you were fixing the file, something else changed, something small like some text shifted position, or a font got changed without you noticing, now you are on the hook to reprint the whole thing. Also it just encourages lazy behaviour from designers, and next thing you...

I bet if you posted this same question on a Graphic design message board you would get completly different answers lol.

If the files were supplied by a professional designer or marketing company I don't think you did anything wrong, he seems to be forgetting that he is also a professional, and as such he is responsible for the quality of his work as well. Your first mistake was fixing his files in the first...

If you are on the second floor of an office, your neighbours are going to hate you for making way too much noise!

We buy these from identifab in Canada, they do a great job. For low quantities you could laser engrave them on black anodized aluminum sheet.

I wonder if Adobe is going to come out with a similar system to Pantone, they have the market share of graphic designers and production shops, if they came out with their own spot colour library and sold printed swatch books for it, it would likely put Pantone out of business at this point...

I guess if Pantone was trying to find a client base that would be most receptive to getting bent over a barrel on a monthly basis, they can't do much better than Adobe's customers...

Use a regular roll laminator, Our rollsroller table will almost always get dust under the laminate, the roll laminator doesn't.

We also had issues with media buckling and tunneling on our 1612, we found laminator tension was a big factor, and we also slowed down the speed the media advances on the cutter as it was too fast and was jerking the media forward. Also, adding some resistance to the rolls helps to keep...

Can you not just add a wavy cut line in-between each row of dots? Are you printing the exact same pattern each time?

3M removes so well, I've even had it peel itself off... Back on topic, for floor decals, I've had good luck with Arlon 4600lx, paired with Drytac emerytex laminate. The emerytex has more anti slip ratings than most others, and it's reasonably priced. If removability is your top concern...

Don't drink and type folks

Our business started with one of those machines engraving pet tags and novelty license plates weekend's and evenings 28 years ago. It's a very labour intensive process, and you will want to throw it out the window when the $25 engraved tag takes you 60 minutes to setup and engrave, but they are...

Anyone that sells vinyl by the yard or foot will be able to do this, if you have a laminator with a take-up you could do it yourself as well.

Do you have any vinyl converters near you? There is a place here that sells by the yard and I could take a 100 yard roll to them and they would split it into 2 50 yard rolls for about 10 bucks.
