Isn't doing CMYK on a thermal printer a pain in the ass / not good quality? Sure it'll do a nice white underbase.... But then you're limited to the colors on top. $2 a sticker - is that retail? One at a time? Or bulk, selling 100 of them for $200? If the former... $2 isn't much and you'll...

Lets put it another way... What does not giving them the files accomplish? It's obvious at this point they're not going to pay for them. So the only reason not to give it to them is spite / principle. Is it worth it? Now this is all public knowledge. Whenever someone googles your...

Even if they paid you to make the artwork, you're not obligated to send it to them a year later. We usually hand our clients their files when they ask - even if we know they're leaving us for someone else. It doesn't cost us nothing.... Their files are of no use to us.. and if you be a dick to...

Roland makes a self adhesive paper. Anything non PVC should work - ij 48c, ij480c... Not sure on the Avery equivalents, look for PVC free vinyl, there's a few out there. Don't forget about the overlam either. 8048 and 8548 are PVC free overlams to match with 48/480. Also... It's not as...

If you scroll up, signmeup posted it - you're measuring the resistance between a few pins / spots. Odds are its a fried mainboard - Good to test if you dont want to order one, but since you already did you're probably best to wait. Keep the power turned off when replacing - It took the tech a...

The main board has imbedded fuses (forget the technical name) that can't be replaced without soldering. It seems to happen a lot - the tech who did my printer didnthe same thing... Machine was powered off, but he blew a fuse on the board and had to replace it. The manual should have diagrams...

Have you profiled your printer, or are you just running it default? With a profiled printer, it'll hit most pantones pretty good - Not every pantone/color can be hit by a CMYK printer... So even with a perfectly profiled printer, there will be ones that will be off and you'll need to tweak...

You dont want CMYK colors - Every printer prints CMYK Differently. You need to profile your machine so its accurate, then use Pantones or LAB colors - But even if you profile your machine, then put in CMYK colors... it's going to bypass your profile and just use the CMYK Color. Color muse is...

How often do you print? Solvent printers like to be used on a daily basis... or every other day, worst case. Not using them causes them to go through a ton of cleanings and waste ink, ontop of its not good for the heads. It's a fine line - Not using the printer enough, or using it often...

Have you installed any of the mural yet? Let me know how your alignment goes... Our 560 was great on alignment, We've done 50-60 FT wide murals with no issues - but never one that continues into a second roll. Our 700 Sucks for alignment, no matter what we cant get it to print aligned since...

I don't believe the s50s had head strike problems - so you may have a lemon.. that or you're loading the material wrong / use media's that are prone to curling and strokes, in which case the s80 won't help you as you'll still have to replace the heads on it after it gets too many rubs / strikes...

We had a tight deadline, 30ish rolls of some government must be 18+ to smoke decals for stores. We ran it on 2x 560 printers - took about 4-4.5 hours a roll. I live 10 mins from work... So I had an alarm for every 5 hours... Went into work, unloaded and loaded a new roll and hit print again...

Reflective glass beads doesn't generally go by cast or calandered, it's made a different way. 5100r is for vehicles... But no, not air egress. 3m codes - C is comply... Their normal air egress. Mc is micro comply - tiny dots for air egress, better to not see lines in the final print. R is...

Cut vinyl is a valid way to create a sign, is it not? I wouldn't redo it for him unless there was something wrong with it. The peeling off was allegedly him, so it doesn't seem like there's an issue with the sign. Sure he has a complaint, but it's not a valid complaint. Unless he was a good...

Google font name + *.otf, 99% of the time you can find it. Add + GitHub to the end if all you get are paid links. - Such as helvetica neue *.otf github Font activation has never worked on one of my illy pcs .. so when I'm editing something using an Adobe font and it won't download, that's...

You weed it, pre mask it, align it with the extra letter and throw al1-2 3" pieces of tape on - now your spacing is perfect. You tape up one side at the store / level it, throw it up... Then you have your second piece pre/marked and can throw it up without any measurements. Your way would you...

The places name is Thai wellness massage. The front of the store is a little better than the side .. the front also has "unique accupuncture" on the window, so maybe they just spelled it wrong on the side and spliced it in.

I don't like to do super large cut vinyl all at once. If it's 6 ft long and 3 lines, even if I were to cut it into one piece odds are once it's taped up, I'd cut each row of text into its own section and apply them one line at a time. I'm small, 5'8... To me that looks like I'd be on at least a...

50 cent a minute - you only charge $30 for labor an hour? That's the real travesty here! Even our lowest paid employee is at around $20. After insurance / vacation pay / everything else, true cost is likely in the $27-28 range. We bill at $75-100 an hour... Usually $100ish. Some people...

The first picture reminds me of an install I saw last week - We were across the street doing a dozen or so window perfs... Went to lunch and I walked by this. I couldn't believe they measured wrong and then just went around the corner to make it work. And then they must have had to do a...
