  1. Issues with 3m 180mc

    Change profile! Check the total ink limitations in that particular profile and try to lower it or pick another profile with lower number or make a custom one. That's what i did when i couldn't get a decent red out of the avery 1105 profile because total ink limitation was at %180 (out of the...
  2. Question Removal of old graphics

    I agree that you get a signed paper! I had a customer who didn't wanted to pay for glue removal only for the vinyl removal. Anyway. make sure you charge by the hour and let them know that removing of the glue and final cleaning is included in the price. We never ever estimate time for the...

    yeah it helps that you don't have to work with and rip a 20-30yd length of graphics if you do a pattern or something.Printed some yesterday and it worked out perfect. Just make sure the sides are matching when you try to tile them together in photoshop
  6. Need Help Onyx 12 continuous or pattern print. How?

    I found it. I was looking at placement options and the space between setting was all 0.0" which it supposed to be but what fixed the problem was the "Print All Rows at a Time" check box was unchecked. Maybe it's me but this line is faaaar from being clear on what it does. Anyway Onyx support was...

  9. Question Wrapping with 3m

    if you want to stay with 3M go with the 180cv3. 180mc has Micro Channel air channel and traps air that does not go away no matter how you try to push it out. You can also destroy the air channel by letting the vinyl touch itself or if you pool the vinyl back. Then it will leave visible marks...

  11. Need Help What a FAIL. Glass door all scretched up. Anything to fix it?
