  1. Customer Wanting Design Files

    Agree. I'm happy to be rid of some, whatever it takes. I'm not a file Nazi to start with, most art is customer specific anyway, so I'll never use it again. If a PITA's bill has been paid in full, including design time, as far as I'm concerned they can have artwork, minus any print layouts or...
  2. Customer Wanting Design Files

    He probaably got off lucky. If I did something like that, there would be no reviews, good bad or otherwise... My wife would just shoot me :oops:

  6. Removable "stickers" on cargo vans? (No steel so no magnets!?)

    If you're looking for something smaller that they can just quickly slap on the front doors and remove like magnets, a lot are using GlassApeel as an alternative to magnets for aluminum panels. It's a printable product that can be applied to anything smooth like glass, metal, and can be removed...
  7. Customer Wanting Design Files

    If you did the designs, charged them design fees, and they paid for them, they have the right to them, just like buying anything else, unless you have an agreement or contract stating otherwise. Quickest way to part ways is send them the files, thank them for their business like a professional...
  8. Source For DX4 Printheads?

    One of the merchant members sells them https://www.solventinkjet.com/
  9. Is it true that if you are laminating that it has to match the brand of the digital media?

    Depends on what the job is. If it's something critical or long term graphics that you think warrants it, do it. Low buck, or short term stuff, mix away. The biggest issue is using calendared lam on cast vinyl, that's always a no-no, calendared materials shrink more than cast, and will cause...
  10. Looking for paint recommendations for ACM / ACP

    I grew up in a body shop, and had my own for many years. +1 for Imron, used it extensively in the automotive world, and in this industry, for sign faces, frames, poles, whatever, it can't be beat, plus they can match corporate colors. It's glossy without clear coat, catalyzed for hardness, and...
  11. Removing Adhesive Residue from Aluminum

    Regular Iso is slow, Rapid Remover is a lot quicker. If it's really heavy or hardened adhesive residue on raw aluminum you can experiment with harsher stuff like denatured alcohol solvent or acetone, they're cheap, cut adhesive fast, and evaporate quick. Wet it, let soak for a minute and use a...
  12. Which one of you pulled this?

    They did this instead of just buying real ones while their shop was down :roflmao: https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/st-louis-turns-to-cardboard-stop-signs-in-temporary-fix-40715246

  14. Mimaki CJV30-60 Continuous Damper Issues

    Are you using OEM dampers, or aftermarket? A lot of aftermarket ones are just junk. Also check lines for any air bubbles, that can also cause issues that seem like dampers are the culprit.
  15. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    I went to reform school... Double major, drunk and disorderly :toasting:
  16. My print keeps coming out about 1/2 in too long????

    That'll probably do it. We do decals for one customer, and size has to be pretty dead on. Started out having minor size issues, always in the feed direction, then I started checking the feed comp before every run for them, and we have no more issues. Initially ours was off by around the same as...
  17. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    It's not just Corel that has issues with them... To avoid headaches when I get Canva created files, I try to open them once, if they don't open right, if they aren't usable, or print ready, I just smile, and flat out reject them. I don't get a lot of them thankfully.
  18. My print keeps coming out about 1/2 in too long????

    Feed compensation... It doesn't have to be off by much, not even enough to band, but on long runs it adds up. It's in the user menu (either machine setup or maintenance, can't remember which) easy to perform, straight forward how it works, print the test pattern, and simple +/- setting to get...
