My experience with epson (s40) is that inks are very soft the first day or two. Given enough time to dry (on banner, rollup material, or poster paper) it dries well and is safer to handle. When 'fresh', we treat it very gingerly.

What air scrubber do you use please?

Hi AGinVT, Vancouver, BC. Wet climate sure... but I have done a fair amount of translucent on polycarb and acrylic, never seen it on my signs. But I have read the threads on signs101 about "outgassing" (both for sheets and for inks in vinyls) and it can start a very interesting discussion...

I have seen this locally, never knew what it was. I have asked around a bit, noone could give me an answer.

This looks like you did the media adjust without the takeup, then things get warm and you put the takeup, and get this type of banding. Nozzle banding or ink starvation banding looks a bit different. Just my experience.

JBurton and Notarealsignguy... When talking about these epoxies and aluminum: what are you basing your decision to leave some paint on? Experience, or did you read that somewhere? We do know that these adhesives hold damn good on bare aluminum though.

Why not take it down to bare aluminum?

Make sure you email Lord and get their comment on this too.

It is? I wouldn't call it rippin fast at 8pass or higher.... depends what you call fast. And the OP is talking about billboard... very tight margins on stuff like that.

speed is the benefit

Looking forward to the video.

Wow, so under warranty it was great. Then you got a fatal error code. The 3rd party company that you were referred to.... did they do the necessary repairs, and if so, how much did it cost and what did they do to get your S80 up and running again?
