  1. Free Stuff For Y'all

    For the Bengals fans.
  2. Suggestions Epson 60600L or Epson 80600L

    The only benefit of the 80600 over the 60600 is the white ink option. Think very hard if that is REALLY necessary for you. The 60600 is WAY faster in speed of printing. The 60600 only requires you to stock 4 ink colors, as opposed to the specialty inks you'll have to stock for the 80600. The...
  3. Metallic gold vinyl

    You should be just fine for the most part printing to a quality "gold" metallic vinyl. On your printer's media profiles you might want to lower the heater temperature a little bit if you're worried about curling or head strikes but I don't think it would matter since it is on a backer.
  4. Mimaki CG 130 FX2

    If the display is working otherwise, but not registering the pressure roller arm when you lower it I would look for the sensor that senses that pieces location and see if it is dirty or broken.
  5. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Here is a 2010 MCI (Motor Coach Industry) 56 Passenger Bus. 10% Scale.
  6. Print room wall artwork

    I'd create a mural of something YOU like, or something that represents your business in some way. We have a lot of murals here. In the hallways we have a "chevron" pattern using the angle of our "X" in our logo. In the production area we have a life-size dinosaur (around 25 ft tall). Outside...
  7. Installing inside of a hair salon without getting hair on it

    Maybe a tack rag? Really, vinyl is always going to be staticy, so no amount of prep in a hair salon can guarantee hair-free.
  8. Need Help In Search of Oki M5 GX Inks

    Talk with your vendor, and have them talk with OKI. During a time of unavailable "certified inks" you may be able to run the "non-certified" inks until the others are available again. Get it in writing though, that it is approved, if you go that route. I'm pretty sure it's REALLY all the same...
  9. Onyx print color difference question

    I've never seen this be an issue before now in my career, but it is an option I never even knew was there... I saw that there was an appearance/attributes difference by selecting both paths at the same time. In the attributes panel, one of the fills is set as "use non-zero winding fill rule"...
  10. New to all this

    We are going to need a closer look at just the test print from the Mimaki to determine how the heads look. When it uploaded it is too hard to make out.
  11. Onyx Rip wont rip certain file

    Sometimes it just comes down to the individual file. We've had some "smaller" EPS files with a LOT of little points (wallpaper with repeating art in the background) throw it off and need rasterized with Photoshop before Onyx was happy with it, but have no problems printing trailer wraps. I think...
  12. Lam overlays on wrap?

    I stay out of the race car area, but coming from the firetruck area it was very common to apply vinyl with encapsulating laminate on it to protect it and extend its lifespan. I would laminate your vinyl as regular, but encapsulate your overlays. Set up your overlays as normal for your plotter...
  13. New to all this

    I know you don't want to buy MORE equipment, but we do have a used Epson S70675 in good working condition for probably less than the cost of the JV heads and service fees. Shoot me a PM.
  14. New to all this

    Welcome local! I'm in Hebron, so you're right down the road. The HP printers are probably a lost cause, they stopped making supplies/parts for them a while ago so they're going to be harder and harder to keep running as time moves along. The JV33 should be able to be repaired if you can find...
  15. Looking for Profile help using Photo Tex (OPA) Opaque on HP R2000 HP 1500 HP 800W

    I know the ink saturates itself into your (cloth) material instead of laying on the surface of vinyl material, so with some Phototex prints in our RIP we will add a "global bump" to increase the vibrancy of the print. Onyx RIP has a way to add a global color increase, same as you would doing...
  16. Suggestions Need Suggestions on Clear / Translucent Vinyl

    Since we can't get any 3M 8150 clear (our normal go-to clear vinyl), we've been printing on 3M 8518 laminate without issue until we receive our back ordered rolls. Has been working great so far!
  17. Illuminated push through letters material

    Should work out fine that way also if I'm understanding you correctly.
  18. Light banding?

    We run 6 pass all day, and run 4 pass on some projects. No banding ever with 3 Epson 60600s here. Re-calibrate your media feed profiles on the printer.
  19. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Here's a 41ft Tanker Wrap Template. This one does a weird dip towards the middle, the installers are "excited" about this one! The light blue area is the "safe zone" for legibility.
  20. GS15plus problem

    I am pretty sure that the motors in our HS15s are not stepper motors, that they are only in the GS series of plotters. I used to work at a 3D printing company and stepper motors failed all the time. The only good thing is that stepper motors are cheaper. Clean the crap out of those gears, send...
