If you post the same question 3 times, does it mean you get 3 times the answers? :oops:

Will do! I thought about using 40C but this stuff has a better price point and sounds like it should remove easier after being up for a short time. Fairly high-profile location with graphics going on wood veneer pillars and elevator doors, so I couldn't risk any possible damage on removal...

Yes, the OP didn't mention which profiles/passes was being used. Assuming you're having to use inter-pass delay and your prints are still gummy, I'd say increasing passes/slowing down the ink laydown should help. We have a fan blowing across the takeup area on our S60600 and loosely roll our...

I'm about to use this stuff for the first time next week, looking forward to seeing how it works. Temporary event install only up for a few days. Went with the Retac Smooth 3.2mil.

How does no-name Chinese vinyl perform/last? Not trolling, genuinely curious.

These guys have some nice units: https://lagunatools.com/cnc/fiber-lasers/smartshop-laser-fc/

Fuck off, bot.

Solvent inks are translucent and this will be highlighted when backlit. There are a couple of options to get around this: 1. Double-hit prints on one layer of translucent vinyl (Graphics will look darker during the day, but will backlight better) This is what we usually do. 2. Print one...

I can't say I've ever seen any roll laminators bigger than 64" +/- You would probably be looking at an application table, looks like they come in sizes wider than 6 feet: https://www.rollsroller.com/ (Lots of other cheaper brands out there)

:popcorn:

You could create a thick (outside) outline, convert outline to shapes then break apart and delete inside shape. Simpler option would be to group all, add outline, break apart then power clip inside outline. For future reference, it would make things simpler if you created your bleed shape...

I think you can change it in the media settings on the printer. One of the last options should be "Periodic Clean CL"

Is the new laminate you're having issues with a cast laminate? To answer your question, too much heat and/or tension can provoke it to curl, yes. Is there a reason you're using heat? Are you laminating UV prints? If not, technically heat is not required. It helps with silvering but...

When you say test print is "ok", is it perfect? Does this happen with all profiles? If you print on a higher quality setting, does the banding go away?

Have a customer looking for something like the attached for small (4" x 6") retail signs. These will be in clothing retail stores and have to look decent. They said we could have holes in the signs and just attach some sort of wire........just trying to wrap my head around doing a couple...

I'll have to look into this, thanks!

Agreed. I guess some people are too cheap to stock clear vinyl? (Not a stab at anyone)

Are you using application tape that's designed to work with air-egress vinyl? We've used 3M SCPS-55, TransferRite 992U, and TransferRite Airmask 510U in the past. (992U is my go-to now) To answer your question, rolled as loose as possible in a box with mask on the outside is what we usually...

Cool, thanks. Downloaded v24 today, backed everything up & archived, tried to update and now have to upgrade my physical key. Hopefully they don't stall it enough so I can't update before Advantage runs out....

Tell her "request denied, see ya later"
