Makes perfect sense that an HP file labeled as 30x20 is only 30x14. :)

The TODAY/TWO WEEKS AGO photo makes the colors look a lot closer than they are. Two weeks ago it was almost fluorescent....today it's almost a mossy color.

We brought in a new HP 365 back in July and everything was great. Bright, vivid colors. Good Pantone matching. Good color matching between jobs. About a month ago that all went to hell. We didn't change anything but suddenly banners are horrible. Lifeless, almost washed out colors...

Thanks.Fellers and Grimco are higher on EVERYTHING aren't they?

I have an art file that I was send by a franchisee. This is a simple, three color, printed and cut graphics job on a van. Shouldn't be a big deal, adjust to artwork for the van, print, cut, apply, collect a check. They sent me a pdf, looks easy enough, bring the van in next week, I'll knock...

Looks like Swiss 721 Black Condensed Italic that's been stretched about 20%

FOLLOW UP: Turns out that there was a piece of double stick tape that was on one of the advance rollers. You could only see it when the roller was stopped in the correct position. It was grabbing the vinyl periodically just enough to cause a pucker. Cleaned the roller, everything is copacetic.

Yes, the boat anchor the Roland tech support and Roland sales reps spent YEARS denying that anyone was having problems with the machines...meanwhile every sign website was full of complaints, there were individual websites people created to show off the problems and when Roland did finally come...

A few months ago we started getting head strikes in our prints using 3M IJ35. Now it's progressed to the point where it doesn't matter what material we run, we are getting head strikes every 3-4' and they are always in the same place on the vinyl. Using the takeup reel doesn't seem to change...

Wow....10 years later and this is back

It's the "foot in ass" theory. Some things you want to be able to go to a supplier and raise hell when it doesn't do what they said it will do. Its easy to ignore an email, it's much harder to ignore the intimidating guy standing in your office.

This always bugged the crap out of me with FlexiSign before I switched to Illustrator. There are issues, things that could be improved or actual problems. I called repeatedly about some of them (this was a decade ago) and asked if there were any plans to correct them. Every single time the...

Just a follow up. Putting the printer on the MESH setting allows it to print without head strikes. I'm not sure how cured the ink is but it doesn't smear and this is only for temporary stuff so we're gonna use this setting to get us through these two rolls.

The curfew in Montgomery is because people are idiots. Most of y'all would not believe what goes on in places like Montgomery whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Covid 19, stay home, be safe.....these people's first thought is "Oh shit, I'm off work tomorrow. I'm gonna go hang out...

The same way they've dealt with the other $25 TRILLION dollars in debt....just pass it on down the road. Keep in mind that the individual bailout checks aren't a government grant, they are just giving you an early tax refund. A whole lot of people are gonna be pissed when they do their taxes...

Okay, I'll try to answer everything in one go.... We've tried increasing and decreasing the temps and vacuum. Nothing helped. Using the takeup reel doesn't help. We've used two rolls of matte and two rolls of gloss purchased months apart. Same problem on both. Three different people load the...
