I've given up on double-sided printing on banner material.. not because I couldn't line them up, but because anything longer than 6' I'll end getting head strikes on the second side - never seems to run quite straight after printing. But... you really shouldn't have a problem with lining it up...

When I pre-layer, we make sure to use a very good table top, like a piece of glass or ACM or something on top of our regular cutting table to give us a real smooth surface. I do layers wet. When doing the final install, I also do wet and have to push on the squeegee very hard. If you can get...

If you look through the viewing window you can sometimes see the vinyl puckering up where those streaks are. I believe re-aligning both your takeup reel and feed reels using will help with that. If the vinyl is trying to go left or right due to misalignment, it wants to bunch up a bit, and...

I like it.. do you apply the vinyl first then laser through?

Are those streaks in the direction of travel of the vinyl? That happens to me, when the media is buckling slightly in between the pinch rollers. Fought with this, just this weekend on some perf that printed fine a couple weeks ago... Lowering heat in the platen area might help. Looking...

yes

How about the sun hits, the black lettering gets hotter than the white, melts that portion more... to produce that effect. I think it could be real!

Really? Here, also in Canada, the rounding only applies to cash payments. If you are paying cheque/credit then you go to the nearest penny. As for what signed off is talking about, I think you are right that it should be $88.15 for that first example. I think after so many years of your...

Probably not your problem, but you never know. We create our files in Illustrator and one thing we have found is that if a PDF has extra CutContour paths in hidden layers, Caldera will use them to cut. You do seem them in preview, but noone looks at that because we just scan the barcode and let...

Hi reQ, so the two strips top/bottom gave you good even light over 4' ?

Wouldn't it be your customer's daughter's tuition that would be spent on using the proper material?

Cool! So are you selling this or just telling us about it?

The trim marks you are showing in that screenshot are outside the artboard... and they don't stay when you get out of "editing artboard" mode. Are you sure they are showing up in your pdfs? edit: sorry... vector doctor got it already

Have you ever had an issue with crazing/cracking when using acohol to clean? I have and now I try to not use high concentration isopropynol.

You're kidding right?

Just curious, what would people here expect signs365 to do in this matter? Assuming it is known to the buyer the exact material used, and what kind of inks used, what else would the supplier have to do? If you're saying they have to reprint for free, is it up to them to go to oracal and try to...

I would say if the customer is using it for a short promotion, 6 months or less, I would do it unlaminated, Otherwise always laminated. I'm surprised you got the cleaning company to cover the cost of replacement - how else can they clean the windows? If you laminate, no dirt in the holes, and...

yep... metamerism is a b*tch...

Can someone please give me a hint on which font this is? Thanks in advance!

It's not that hard to figure out where it prints from. Just mark the banner right in front of pinch rollers, then start a job, measure the distance and now you know that distance. Material might stretch/shrink the second time through the printer (my eperience banners that are printed don't...
