Hitting vinyl is 100x better than hitting aluminum. A hump in the material will raise the guide plates up and then the head will crash on them. Bending a small piece of metal on the carriage shouldn't be an issue as long as it isn't part of the head.

Something is out of wack. Might be the head bearings are shot or it is really dirty? I'd remove the guide plates for now if your machine will allow it. Turn it off and move the head across manually and see what is going on.

We use Arlon DPF8000 for this.

I recommend the Epson 60600. the spectrum is very nice and it's LIGHTNING FAST.

I've been a designer / production manager for years and dealt with all kinds of printing... however - I'd probably never apply to a job looking for a video to be sent in, as I never deal with video. My honest advice is to keep an ad out there just in case someone who is unhappy at their current...

Print in reverse on clear vinyl, apply tape over cut marks, laminate the print with white vinyl, remove tape, cut print.

What is your nearest town? In NKY everything can be delivered. You can ship larger signs via freight, how far do your signs need to ship?

Start out with a spreadsheet if you have to and assign all jobs a unique ID number. That way you have a job identifier for when you need to go back and locate it later. You can transition the spreadsheet into a database later. After that design a work order you can print out and write on, I...

Here is a (used) hose truck I just drew up for a wrap project. Not sure if it'd ever be of use to anyone else here, but it's here anyways. It's an E-One.

Since you're applying to powder coated parts I'm assuming these are print/cut decals, and not something where the customer actually needs the flexibility/air release of 180c? I would recommend using Arlon DPF8000 for this if so. We do a lot of equipment graphics and use DPF8000 and 3M 8518 Gloss...

I have a friend that uses the Nazdar inks in his JV3s and says it prints great and doesn't have nozzle issues.

I've never seen humidity cause an issue like this before, but possibly if your shop isn't climate controlled well then the roller on the laminator might be warped from the humidity? There might also be to much tension on the laminator?

Your laminator problem is the pressure is too high. Your printer problem is your humidity is to high.

We've had our Epsons for about 4 years now and everything you will need to do (besides replace parts - keep your service contract current) can be don through the normal menus. Calibrate your media feeds on the printer and keep a few settings saved, but otherwise you wont need to do all that much...

I save my files as EPS files from Illustrator and use a "PDF Import Filter" as my import setting and everything has always been there when I import it to my router software.

That is not the proper install method for that type of groove. This is more of a bridge, heat, press in type of install as these are not deep grooves so no extra material is required.

I've ran them all, started with solvent, tried latex, went back to solvent. We're currently running a couple Epson eco-solvents and plan on our next purchase to be another Epson S60600. I do not recommend the 10-color printers, the 4-color dual head printers are much better. Find a vendor to...

Have your 3M wrap send you a sample roll of the 180mc Clear. Or, the 3M 180mc Silver to see if it would be close to the vehicle's silver.

Tom, if you're wanting to get this thing running and need parts a good friend of mine has a couple parts machines I'm sure he'd sell parts off of for a good price. Shoot me a pm. I can't help you much more with this issue but it does look like a slider/ribbon issue to me. Check all your ribbon...

We always call, a lot get directly shipped now that Grimco bought Advantage. They don't stock it like Advantage used to.
