  1. Discussion Think Tank for sign makers. I wonder if there might be any interest. I am open for discussion.

    Once I get my brain chip from Elon Musk I'll be able to design directly in my brain and plug my finger in to the printer.
  2. Need Help Help with Storefront graphic - removing bkg.

    We've had images printed on clear by someone with white ink in the past. It's easy to adjust colours and make a separate white mask.
  3. Best Mice For Graphics?

    Basically whatever you find comfortable, everybody is different. That's why they used to have all the mice out for you to feel at the store. I always turn off "Enhance pointer precision" in windows. It actually does the opposite by trying to predict where you're trying to move the mouse to. It...
  4. Media for stencilled decal

    We get them routed out of styrene
  5. Latex, what would be your suggestions for improvement?

    I thought it was the heads at first too, but this has been going on long enough that every printhead was replaced, some more than once, and it hasn't made a difference. I was pretty convinced it's the encoder strip but I haven't heard of the trailing cable being a potential culprit until you...
  6. Latex, what would be your suggestions for improvement?

    It's consistent all the way across, scan axis test showed no issues. Some colours are worse than others but most people don't notice it unless I point it out anyways. It's just one of those things that irks me since I know it's there and can't find the solution. I'll take a look at replacing the...
  7. Latex, what would be your suggestions for improvement?

    Our printer developed a slight vertical banding problem that should be an easy fix but so far the techs I've talked to about it haven't been very helpful. Debating replacing the encoder.
  8. Question Alternatives to Avery 2611 (Wall Vinyl)

    We had same problems with 2611, though we still use it on rare occasions. 3M 40c is our go-to for murals, only issue we've had was with cut graphics on a recently painted wall that they claimed was painted months before.
  9. Need Help HP Latex 110 error and wont turn on

    Either means your carriage circuit board died or the cables got dislodged (mainly trailing cable). Open it up and double check the cables are snug, if that doesn't work you might need a new circuit board or the cable was damaged.
  10. Floor Graphics - MacTac MDot - no lam needed?

    We offer both, lots of Drytac Floortac textured with no laminate for more temporary jobs and Floortac smooth with a 6mil textured laminate for longer term.

    Something like this? https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/
  12. Vehicle Work Sheet/Work Order

    Ahhh that makes sense, mine just ran out.
  13. Vehicle Work Sheet/Work Order

    Like these? https://wrapinstitute.com/shop/pre-inspection-forms Though I swear I remember these being free... 3M has similar but they're not great.
  14. Vehicle Window Perf

    I don't think ever I've used 50/50 for anything. Also I've had issues with clear focus and moved away from their products. To avoid squeegee marks use a roller to install, but it's a bit tough to do on a curved car window.
  15. 4Over Closed Canadian Facility

    We've been using BDPrint quite a bit. Out of Scarborough. (Mostly for books.)
  16. clear & translucent vinyl installed- squeegee marks

    If I must dry apply this kind of thing, I wet my squeegee and use a lot more force than I usually would. I prefer wet applications for clear or translucents for this reason. But yea, usually stuff like that goes away after a few days unless it's really bad. Hard to tell from the picture.
  17. Skat Pack 392 Artowrk

    Be careful when you google that... lol
  18. Latex, what would be your suggestions for improvement?

    Better registration on double sided prints. Edge holders that don't cause more problems than they solve. Heater vents that are easier to access for cleaning. White ink would be nice. A calibration for the scan axis (this might exist but I can't find it, the service manual mentions it though...
  19. Do you do anything special for blade disposal

    We have a box with a slot cut in the top (think suggestion box) that all the blades go into. When it's full it gets taped shut and thrown directly into the dumpster.
  20. Question Never did this before..................

    We've done it a couple times, had best success with cut contouring the perf, then laminating and cutting the lam offset from the perf .25" to act as your edge sealer.
