What is "the" material?? Any plotter should be able to cut cleanly through vinyl/ink/laminate in a single pass, assuming you're not using polycarbonate or thick laminates like substance etc.
This is more common with calendared materials, or with oversaturated prints. Waiting a full 24hrs before laminating and not having too much tension on the laminator can help avoid this, along with using quality materials.
I feel your frustration, I've been in same boat with equipment before and hearing the old "we haven't come across this before" bit is never helpful. I'd be really curious to hear if there are other members here with your same inkset successfully printing and installing wraps. (I know that...
Yeah the 3 invoice and different copies sorted different ways seems crazy & redundant.
For a majority of our customers w/ payment terms:
Customer is emailed that their order is ready. Invoice is emailed to their A/P department.
We print 1 copy of invoice, gets filed with all job-related...
Yikes, not what you want to see when installing graphics. I would honestly suggest checking out Onyx or if you're otherwise happy with Rasterlink, see if you're able to create/use custom profiles within that workflow.
I would really think that reducing ink limits would help with the vinyl...
We have a UCJV w/ LUS-170 inks, and we've done a few flat wraps (cube vans, food trucks) successfully over the years. I believe we used MPI 1105 w/ 1360z. The silvering (like with any laminate on UV ink) does go away over time, especially after being exposed to sunlight.

Interesting set up. Sounds like it worked much better than ours, will get a pic when I'm in the shop. Corroded everything to crap and just shorted itself out. This was our 2nd unit and I don't think we'll make the same mistake...thrice.
Do you have more info on the waterfall humidifier part? We have an inline steam humidifier hooked up to our hvac but we only get about 2 years out of them before they die. I bought a $250 humidifier from Amazon and it surprisingly does an amazing job in our 2,500 sqft production area, but...
Welcome to the wonderful world of roll to roll printing! I remember getting our first roll printer and not having any idea what to use. We started off with Oracal calendered vinyls and laminates and quickly learned how lousy they are when it comes to shrinking and curling. 10+ years later...
Okay so here's another angle, I like to keep samples/extras for 2 reasons:
1. Regular/reorder parts. Some decals/kits take hours to print then need at least a day to off-gas and finish. Having some repeat/re-order parts in stock can turn a 3 day turnaround to a 1 day turnaround for our good...
I'm no admin, but the way I see it you can inquire all you want, but if you want to actually sell said material on this site you would need a premium membership?
