change cap tops and dampers (that's usually where i go first. i can do it my self and it's not expensive.) you can try pulling ink with a syringe. try a head soak over night. after those options i usually end up calling the tech in

all important questions. also if your current machine fits the bill you may not want to switch brands because you will be also switching inks and sometimes it's problem getting compatible inks for the substrate you are printing on. make sure to run some test samples with that said we have a...

you could try using an adhesive promoter and or an edge sealer

are the lockers painted? could be an issue with the paint used. maybe they changed the type/brand or maybe it's didn't cure long enough

is it just cut vinyl or is it printed and cut vinyl? if its just cut vinyl/plotter vinyl then you wouldn't need laminate or clear coat or maybe i am misunderstanding ?

interesting. will keep that in mind for our next removal. most of the time with difficult removals we use the vinyl zapper. takes off the vinyl and glue. great machine

i would use a high-tack vinyl but i generally don't do this. every time they fold it up and set it up it's going to cause issues with the vinyl. not going to last. (how long depends on how often they use it) really best if ordered with the graphics on it

harbor sales, N glantz, s & f, E&T plastics, Liard plastics. like already mentioned depends on where you are located

we usually print right on the panels with our flatbed printer but on occasion have to print on clear or trans vinyl with our roland eco solvent printers. in both cases we just do an over print which is an option in the rip program. usually that is enough to get good colors when illuminated

gerber edge was our first digital printer and a great machine. used it for years even after getting inkjet printers. thermal has a lot more capabilities of what you can do with it. you can print on colored material with no issue. you can print metallic, Flourescent as well as 4 color process...

we have solvent, eco solvent, latex and uv all have there pro's and con's and all are good at specific purposes but if all you're doing is vinyl and banners i would stick with solvent. we have had good experiences with roland up until the truvis. that was a piece of crap. also roland has done...

since the test pattern has that wave to it i would agree probably a bad head strike that caused damage to the head but along with a 24-48 hour head soak you could try pulling ink through the cap top hose with a syringe and also try changing the dampers

google hazardous waste removal or waste ink removal. there are companies that will come and pick it up. depending on how much you have you can pour in to saw dust or spill cleanup compound, let it out gas/dry and throw it in the dumpster. also check with your town, they may have a liquid waste...

unfortunately i don't think you can legally stop them as long as it isn't interfering with the job they do for you. now if they start stealing customers, materials or time then you have a reason to fire them but that's about it. you can tell them not to do it but then they will do it behind your...

i was at the mimaki demo center in NJ a couple weeks ago looking at a solvent printer but they had a bunch of samples from there 3d printer (which they don't have there yet but it's coming) puts out some crazy stuff with color printing. not sure which model the samples came from but they were...

good job and totally agree about facebook, actually social media in general is great if used for good and not evil..haha. i post almost all my jobs on social media, like you said it's free advertising and i have gotten quite a few new jobs because of that.

i use mactac B-Free frost/etch material it's air release and dry install. use it all the time with no issues. if you get small wrinkles you can usually get them out with a little heat from the torch

the only thing i would be concerned about is your studs are long enough on the peaks to get enough stud in to the plywood so it holds properly

I WOULD JUST EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO THEM ABOUT THE COLD TEMP AND INSTALLING VINYL. I FIGURE THEY HAVE TWO OPTIONS, 1 GO WITH THE VINYL AND TAKE THE RISK OR 2 MAKE A BANNER YOU CAN FASTEN TO THE EXISTING SIGN UNTIL IT'S WARM ENOUGH TO INSTALL THE VINYL. I WOULD THINK YOU COULD JUST SCREW IN TO...

try hangups.com they have all sorts of mounting/hanging hardware and specifically for this application
