Maintenance and cleaning is very important. Dampers hold ink for the head, and have a tiny filter to keep contaminates out of the head. Not replacing them periodically is akin to not changing the oil filter in your car, eventually it'll either fail and not filter anything, or plug up. If you...

Just hang on to it for him... How much free money interest will it earn you over the next 20-30 years?

Vinyl on untreated wood will usually fail pretty quick outdoors. If the wood gets wet it wicks under the vinyl, stays wet longer, and either the vinyl releases, or the wood delaminates from it. If it's a temporary application there's a good chance it'll pull wood fibers when it's removed...

Test print doesn't look bad other than a little halo and that black getting into the cyan. The overspray seems to be all going the same direction, that could just be static, you'll find a ton of posts about that here. What's the humidity in your print room? The black getting into the cyan...

There's a lot of things that could cause it. I'll assume you do proper cleanings and maintenance... What do test prints look like, are they blurry too? Post some pics of those, they tell a lot. Did it just start doing this? Are you using the correct print profile for the material? The encoder...

The problem could be the lam on it, might not be right for that application. If it's all cast it should lay good with a little pre-stretch & heat to let the memory do it's job, if it doesn't do what it's supposed to, it's whatever lam they used. If you can, try a scrap piece of laminated cast...

Fire & EMS are specific use safety/ emergency vehicles with specific standards. All a police vehicle needs by law to be legit is lights and a siren, they don't have to have any identifiers, and even the lights can be hidden when they're not in use. They can even use any year, make, model car...

Most local law enforcement agencies have no set guidelines for graphics on their vehicles, you just design & do them to the specs they give you.

Supply vendors and wholesalers can only sell to resellers, contractors, etc, not to end users, which is what an NPO is classified as in most cases. Not just in this industry either, same with lumber, paint, or hardware if you're a contractor, brand suppliers if you're a retailer, food service...

Gino is correct (give that man a cigar)... Rip stop nylon with nylon webbing sewn in, and sewn in rings for attaching sections and cables. Planes don't take off with them attached, they add too much weight and drag for takeoff, so they use a hook on the plane that grabs the leash from between...

Heat assist doesn't put that much heat into the mix, I'd say 110-120 degrees, about the same as the heaters on a roll printer, but it's enough to help it bond and conform better, especially to the rougher print surface latex & uv inks leave. Just like with anything printed, solvent, aquious, uv...

That's cool! Thank you! I retired in 2016, and here we are... Here's to hoping yours lasts longer:toasting:

Alphabetically, or at random?

And musicians.... That's why I gotta do this too :cool:

I do a lot of equipment for an asphalt sealing company, they have the hot tanks for crack seal [insert yer' puns here]. I use 751 on all of theirs and haven't had any failures yet. 99% of it is just black vinyl, so I don't know if bright colors will have issues, but in our part of the country...

They're called wall wash light bars, google it and you'll come up with hundreds of them. Finding the exact ones... Probably not if they're not labeled. Here's one place that has a good variety to get you started https://www.superlightingled.com/led-wall-wash-lighting-c-86_308.html Here's another...

Exactly! Best for everyone... Her art on something that's right for the situation. I grew up in body shops, and know this is way beyond a "typical" paint job.

Finishing those panels is a lot like doing automotive painting. The area you plan to paint will need to be sanded for it to stick, architectural coatings are baked on, very tough, formulated to repel dirt, and not real receptive to paints. You'll need to apply a primer (solvent based metal...

I used aftermarket encoder strips on an SC540 I used to run... They worked.

Depends on workflow & space. If you only have the room for one, or don't do such a volume that you need to both print and cut at the same time, there's nothing wrong with using a single print/ cut machine. The one thing I have learned over the years are the better stand alone cutters are way...
