  2. Question Sheets vs Roll Process

    "Pretty much" like this link here is how you should do it. Everyone here does it slightly different though. We never use kraft paper.
  3. Mercedes Sprinter Hood Template?

    Does anyone here have a template for a Mercedes Sprinter Hood that they've made? (not a PVO, etc template) I have a job where the customer wants their text to flow along the contour of the hood and be printed into it. Unfortunately, the truck is a couple hours away and the install is there...

    https://www.signs101.com/threads/free-stuff-for-yall.118411/post-1492201 Our solution is here, works well for us, as we do not stock a lot of any particular substrate, but a lot of different substrates.
  5. Need Help ONYX 21 + Mimaki CMYKcmOk

    It can also be a setting in the file/RIP where it is set to honor CMYK profiles set in the documents, or override them in the RIP. RGB documents are going to use more "special" colors than CMYK built documents.
  6. Onyx is adding copies i don't want

    What type of file is it? Rasterized, I have no idea.... but Postscript can have many variables like artboards, pages, etc. Onyx occasionally just does weird stuff also. Try ripping the same file again, if it does the same thing it's the file.
  7. How to avoid rippling on RMO media (Canon Arizona 1360)

  10. How Is This Decal Made And Installed?

    You could make these with a Gerber Edge. Reverse print on polycarbonate (LexEdge material). Color then a white flood print, then you "laminate" the adhesive (3M 467/468) onto the rear and plot them. We make a lot of similar decals for the government and specialty industries.
  11. Onyx Conserve media not conserving media

    Are you sure that the graphic doesn't have a random point floating around somewhere else off the canvas or wherever making the size larger than it should be? Adjust the spacing between prints maybe?
  12. Question Do old printers still have value?

    There's not much value at all to older machines, especially to anything approaching 10 years old. There's not much manufacturer support (drivers), tech support, or parts/ink availability for many of them, and those that still have it will be phased out over the next few years. Really it is best...
  13. Any experience with prepasted products and butt joints on a latex printer?

    I cannot speak for the R-series, but our S-series printers have a great material feed calibration tool built into them. I'm assuming the R-series is the same.
  14. Any experience with prepasted products and butt joints on a latex printer?

    I would not be concerned about the material itself shrinking, most of those materials offer zero stretch. However, I would be very concerned about the ability of the latex to achieve constant material feed between panels. I have heard of many times where the size of the panel varies from the...
  15. Best Printer for Full Print Wraps

    This is an OLD thread, tech has came a long way in the past few years. FWIW.
  16. Adobe CC Licensing Error

    We have that same exact issue on one of the older (Windows 7) computers in the office here, thankfully they only use Acrobat. I tried uninstalling it thinking the install was corrupt, but then they couldn't log in/download the app installer again. We just replaced the computer at the end of...
  17. Wrapping with reflective

    Print the stripe over size, and lay down some knifeless tape first along the correct size. Then you should be able to work the stripe in without stretching it and still have good straight lines.
  18. Looking for 3M SV480mC?!?!

    Seriously, we've had rolls on order for months now. You might want to look for alternative materials that will work for what you're doing.

    Body shops use a very similar, but blue, tape. fine line or pinstriping tape.
  20. Oraguard 290M 54x50 Need 10 rolls
