For #3 - cheap media can curl... As can too much ink saturation. How long did you wait from print to laminate? If you laminated right away that's one the the biggest causes of curl up / shrinking media... As you need to let the ink full dry. Try using the same combo, but let the material sit for...

We use a panel saw and a sheer... Our sheer is only 30" wide. So we panel it into a size that fits then sheer it. The sheer makes a nice clean cut, it doesn't crush the edges and it requires zero sanding unlike our panel saw. Didn't realize stomp sheers were so cheap.... May buy a 5 ft one and...

Never had an issue on 180. That being said... If I've learned anything about hp printers, one may print length perfectly while the other doesn't.... one may print certain colors perfectly while one doesn't... So even if it prints fine for me, it may not for you. But I'm willing to try still...

What's your nozzle pattern look like? Looks like quite a bit of over spray

Yes, we run 180 cv3

What color are you having issues with? Upload a swatch and I'll run it on our 700... We never have banding and only ever run anything at 9 pass.... Or was it 6 pass. I forget

Generally only cheap vinyl buckles... Or more importantly vinyl that uses thin cheap backing paper. Cheap 3m and cheap Avery works great. You can turn down the temp.... I'ts been awhile since I used our 3xx printer, but you should be able to do it in media settings. If you turn it down, you...

Im guessing you don't do next day turn around though. How busy is your shop? We're at pretty much full capacity in my shop - we have 15 employees currently.... We do a 3-5 day turn around, that allows us to fill up our day so everyone is busy and we don't have people standing around doing...

3 days is fine.... You think no shop has weekends? It's when you leave it sitting for a week, multiple times a year. And it's not like it breaks all at once, it slowly degrades.... So if you're just going away for a few days, it'll run its own cleaning and be fine. Even if you're gone for 2...

Reach out to wri - they stock all of these I believe. What you'd want is 3m 3932.... The above looks like Avery, but 3m looks pretty close. Google then3m version though, it has lines through it and looks slightly different. That could be diamond grade... 3m 4092 - it's pure red without the...

Hey from Vancouver

https://staticclean.com/product/4103-high-speed-static-bar/ we use something like this... It eliminated all our static issues. (we got 2, in the size of the carriage head, 1 for each side / direction) - one of them is failing so our statics coming back.... But when they were new they were great

We spray it down with alcohol and wipe it off, and it helps. You can use a humidifier, or if you print a lot... Buy a deonizer bar if your flatbed doesn't have one

Ever try to buy movie posters or something from a wholesaler / Vistaprint? We were doing store graphics for a comic store that was just opening - We had to outsource a print that was too big for our printers... And it had the superman logo on it. Sent it to... I think 4over? Maybe...

You might not get caught if you're printing them just for yourself around the shop... But as soon as a customer sees it, and asks for it... What do you tell them? I feel like copyright laws are way too strict, but when dealing with your livelihood you should follow the rules!

You mean, copyrighted, illegal to print posters?

None of those are traffic series. Try this - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/2169456O/3m-permanent-signage-warranty-brochure.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwisyIPkg6eEAxWZHTQIHZgZBekQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw10P3P88X_Th7m8iY3NPpht Actually...

https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/661149O/3mtm-mcstm-accessories-for-traffic-sign-production-flyer.pdf on my.phone so I can't find it. Above it says "up to 12". Diamond grade is 12... And I believe the rest is 10. IIRC, the warranty is higher for digital than it is for screens... But I...

3M Digitally printed traffic signage has a higher warranty than screen printed does now - 3M Warranties for 12 years when digitally printed on a Latex. Screen printing inks have gotten more and more "Eco" friendly... which means screen printing is on par, or worst than digital these days...

I disagree that people use Windows because it's what they're used to - our shop has a dozen or so people on computers.... Some in their 60s, some in their 40s, and some in their 20s. The 20 year olds are just as bad or worst at operating a computer - they're used to android / apples point and...
