You can get brushed finish polymetal in a few colors.

BE SURE TO FLIP EVERY OTHER PANEL in the rip. Had a huge trailer wrap once and due to the dimensions it would crash the old rip. Had to send panels individually; and forgot to flip the odd panels. Had to reprint 1/2 the truck... :(

We have had our Epsons with metallic option for around 3-4 years and have not used it once. You can insert a cleaning cartridge to cut down on ink costs when you're not using the metallic ink. We do use the white ink frequently though. Our most recent purchase was the 60600 (dual cmyk); we are...

Check this thread out from a few years back. This is how I make templates of weird stuff like this. https://signs101.com/threads/phototex-for-templates.119932/#post-1205280

The best way to do this is to use a Gerber Edge printer to print the 3 colors onto 1 roll of vinyl. Then you plot it and cut them all together. Then you mask them and apply them. The sprockets that the Gerber/Edge use keep everything 100% straight.

Why can't you just print that onto the striping?

Here is another food truck I just drew today. Hopefully this helps someone else not have to draw these, lol. 1/10 scale.

X2 on Topaz Gigapixel. It takes images I would have said "no way" to before, and makes them look pretty decent once blown up. Requires a decent computer, but is very cheap (free trial also!)

Unless I specifically want a double-strike profile, I always use the regular profile on everything. Just use your regular vinyl profile.

I would bet that spraying them with clear paint would be the best bet for longevity. Like a set of new aluminum rims.

Carriages do not have to actually be disconnected to receive this message. The carriage just has to read that it is at an incorrect location along the encoder strip for it to think it is disconnected. Hence, the strip needs replaced or cleaned. I believe that you can get the replacement...

Clean the encoder strip again with regular alcohol. Clean the encoder eye sensor also if you can get to it. You can flip the encoder strip also if it is too far gone, but then you have to go to service mode and re-calibrate.

When we've bought our last few printers from Epson they've all came with some demo (10yd?) rolls of 3M vinyls. Look in the cores and you should be able to tell what you have.

I've only been here 10 years, but they've been good ones.

Our installers have more issues with the CV3 trapping air in channels than 180c. 480 is real nice but a LOT more expensive so we only use it where needed. I have heard a lot of issues with removing the 175?

Upgrade to the newer Gerber software, get the Gerber USB converter cables, and keep on running them. We run ours on Win 7 here just fine and anticipate no problems upgrading to the newest version soon.

What was the print that was installed? Did you print it? What Machine? What was the off-gas/dry time before you laminated it? What laminate? Are you SURE it was that laminate? We use 180c here every day and we do get defective rolls, about 5 per year, but the defects are obvious (missing...

FWIW, these are definitely NOT 3D Printed. pretty nifty though, but no idea how they're made.

It certainly has its advantages, I would look at investing in a better laminator as your next step and then think about changing to Gerber vinyls. We have a couple Edge printers here and routinely run full rolls through our laminator.

You aren't going to get that lifespan out of un-laminated Edge prints.
