Personally I would've blurred out the letters before sharing those pictures..........I bet you would have had a lot more useful feedback. Those letters are just horrible! Sorry I can't help with the structural parts, but please make sure they don't get their hands on the new letters.

Do you have a laminator? That's how we mount our vinyl most of the time. If not, I'd soak the crap out of it with rapid tac and squeegee it down. Use light pressure with a felt squeegee then come back full force with a straight (fresh) teflon squeegee or similar. I've with 220 silver for a...

I know it's not what you're asking, but we use General Formulations GF 201HTAP for all our exterior signs. It has worked extremely well for us and it's our go to for a lot of applications. Probably about a third of the cost of 3M IJ180cv3 (which is what we use for all vehicle graphics).

This is the only time I use overprints - as far as I'm concerned they shouldn't be used otherwise!

Yeah you don't want much more than than on windows, otherwise it makes things more difficult. Maybe they did the ol' "all the the windows will be the same" trick and the gaskets weren't consistent. Is this a company that you hired to install for you, or they hired you to print only? If...

This is very true. One thing that hasn't been addressed beyond assets/liabilities and volume is how well the company is running. Do they have systems in place? Are employees cross-trained? Our numbers/size are very similar to the company the OP is evaluating. I'm really curious what that...

Might be worth a shot to submit a request here..... https://adendo.com/onsite-training/ I don't see anyone listed with Gerber experience but it can't hurt to try. I know it's been a real challenge getting our old Gerber plotters serviced - have had to crate them up and ship them half way...

Thanks Pauly, will try this as well.

Thank you - I've re-created a new profile using Epson workflow and it's much faster and seems much better. Also just came across the Gamut Report portion which did confirm my first created profile was awful - new one is significantly better. Will share my findings tomorrow. Does it make...

Thank you - will go back to the drawing board and start over with a new profile and will share my results.

And you're sure they were printed on the same printer? I take it you have clear ink on your unit?

That's a big difference. Did I miss the part where you explained why you use clear vinyl for your faces? We don't do much any more, thankfully, but always used 3850 when we printed graphics for faces.

The installer did no such thing. If it wasn't for the fact that we loaded up a roll and sent a print down, they would have left without even checking that the heads were firing and not DOA from the factory. But I digress........ I suppose I should have. I'm just not sure where I went wrong...

Wow, that's a hell of a report. Very interesting. I'd still love to know how they expect most shops to "bake" their large sign faces for an hour.

It's been a couple of years since I made a profile, and even back then I was no expert. (I know how to go through the "for dummies" onyx steps, but beyond that I'm clueless. ) We just had an Epson S60600 installed last week and I got right to creating custom profiles. I created this 720x720...

Are you printing in High Quality 720x1440? I'd try that, and if need be slow down the head speed. You'll need a high pass count + slow head speed in order for the ink to lay down smoothly on that material. Worst case scenario, you could always try using 3M IJ180mC-120 (Basically digital...

What kind of marks/RIP are you using? If you're using Onyx you should be able to control the frequency/spacing of marks. I get this error all the time when I create my own marks, but it will still read them fine and cut accurately.

We have a Mimaki UV-LED printer and the color shift is huge over time. You may have checked already and maybe it's not the case but just thought I'd mention it, try comparing colors 30ish minutes later and see if they match the previous day's prints. (I'm not even sure if this is across the...

Well that was an entertaining rant!
