  1. Onyx 22 / Thrive wont auto rotate when nesting?

    Good to know, thanks for reporting back! Happy printing. :thumb:
  2. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    Thanks for this, will check them out!
  3. Question Ford Transit sealant between panels

    We cut them back here as well. I noticed on the Dodge Promasters they're painted over, which I would imagine would make them safe to cover.
  4. Cutting laminated material

    That's actually a really good article, don't think I've ever seen that formally discussed online. Saving it for training purposes, thanks.
  5. Cutting laminated material

    What is "the" material?? Any plotter should be able to cut cleanly through vinyl/ink/laminate in a single pass, assuming you're not using polycarbonate or thick laminates like substance etc.
  6. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    Interesting, I don't know that I've ever heard of urethane laminates before.
  7. Questions for making stickers.

    This is more common with calendared materials, or with oversaturated prints. Waiting a full 24hrs before laminating and not having too much tension on the laminator can help avoid this, along with using quality materials.
  8. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    I feel your frustration, I've been in same boat with equipment before and hearing the old "we haven't come across this before" bit is never helpful. I'd be really curious to hear if there are other members here with your same inkset successfully printing and installing wraps. (I know that...
  9. Your order pickup process

    Yeah the 3 invoice and different copies sorted different ways seems crazy & redundant. For a majority of our customers w/ payment terms: Customer is emailed that their order is ready. Invoice is emailed to their A/P department. We print 1 copy of invoice, gets filed with all job-related...
  10. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    Yikes, not what you want to see when installing graphics. I would honestly suggest checking out Onyx or if you're otherwise happy with Rasterlink, see if you're able to create/use custom profiles within that workflow. I would really think that reducing ink limits would help with the vinyl...
  11. I cleaned my machine, what do I have here…

    Either your feed or scan needs to be aligned/calibrated. What kind of printer are you talking about here? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
  12. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    We have a UCJV w/ LUS-170 inks, and we've done a few flat wraps (cube vans, food trucks) successfully over the years. I believe we used MPI 1105 w/ 1360z. The silvering (like with any laminate on UV ink) does go away over time, especially after being exposed to sunlight. Are you using...
  13. Just got the Roland Tru VIS MG UV, considering air scrubber for smell does it work?

    Interesting set up. Sounds like it worked much better than ours, will get a pic when I'm in the shop. Corroded everything to crap and just shorted itself out. This was our 2nd unit and I don't think we'll make the same mistake...thrice.
  14. Just got the Roland Tru VIS MG UV, considering air scrubber for smell does it work?

    Do you have more info on the waterfall humidifier part? We have an inline steam humidifier hooked up to our hvac but we only get about 2 years out of them before they die. I bought a $250 humidifier from Amazon and it surprisingly does an amazing job in our 2,500 sqft production area, but...
  15. Questions for making stickers.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of roll to roll printing! I remember getting our first roll printer and not having any idea what to use. We started off with Oracal calendered vinyls and laminates and quickly learned how lousy they are when it comes to shrinking and curling. 10+ years later...
  16. What's wrong with this poster...................................................................... ??

    The tail on the "Q" is going the wrong way? Everything else looks great.
  17. ECUT FOR AI PROBLEMS

    Did you try contacting the developer? I seem to remember emailing them a while back and they were pretty responsive.
  18. How do you store / organize your overs?

    That's what I'd like to move to. Have a laminated and unlaminated swatch of their critical colors with all print settings/color adjustments notes etc.
  19. How do you store / organize your overs?

    Okay so here's another angle, I like to keep samples/extras for 2 reasons: 1. Regular/reorder parts. Some decals/kits take hours to print then need at least a day to off-gas and finish. Having some repeat/re-order parts in stock can turn a 3 day turnaround to a 1 day turnaround for our good...
  20. Secondary Market for Material

    I'm no admin, but the way I see it you can inquire all you want, but if you want to actually sell said material on this site you would need a premium membership?
