It'd look nice to print an alligator skin pattern on the windows. We did these animals for a local university's library and they looked awesome.

Oh yeah, on IJ680CR no less. Not an inexpensive wrap.

You cannot convert a 60600 (dual cmyk) to an 80600 (white ink model). If you need it printed in white ink, we can handle that for you; we have an Epson 70675 that prints white ink quite well.

What about using black reflective and printing black on that. Flood everything with black except for the logo and then laminate with black. We did white reflective this way (white ink) and it turned out really cool.

Epson 60600 if you're thinking production could ramp up; but if you're printing only that much vinyl (we print that much in 1-2 days) then a 40600 would be adequate for you. I agree with everything posted above in SignMeUpGraphics post about how ours is also.

60600 all the way. Sure you have to wait a few hours to laminate, but if you can't you're scheduling your printing/jobs wrong. And as far as cleaning/maintenance, yes, we have to empty the waste bottle every so often and rarely have to clean the heads/caps much (yes, we run it all day every...

I really recommend the 60600 over the 80600. The white, metallic, orange and other non-CMYK colors are NOT warranted and DO FADE. The 60600 is super fast and the prints carry the MCS warranty through 3M if you are in that program. We also have a 70675 with all the colors (running a non-orange...

The stock heaters work just fine for 99% of jobs, for the others we already have the downdraft cabinet.

Our installers are fine with either. They have more of a preference with vinyls than inks. Realistically, a really rich dark blue should wait til the next day as long as long as you have the time. It seems that blue is the worst color; worse than black. Loosening the vinyl on the roll to...

The one that we have that REALLY prints wraps fast in great quality is the 60600; dual-cmyk. Nice solid vibrant colors like our Mimakis used to print. We can print a full roll in around 2 hours. We also have the 70675, but this other printer blows it away. We purchased the 70675 thinking we'd...

I'm not looking to argue or accuse anyone, I'm just trying to get some info if you all really want others opinions or help with this situation. Can you at least tell me the materials used or the vehicle type that it is going on? Are all the failing materials from the same lot # or are different...

I've seen this happen when one of the ink chips is defective on a GS6000.

To me it looks like you have some vector images on top of super low res JPEG images with artifacts around them. If this is not correct, possibly there is a rasterization/resolution level setting that is incorrect. Sorry, I am not that familiar with your RIP setup.

I'm still not seeing any "exact info" or photos of the failed areas on this project, or even what type of vehicles or locations that it is failing to help you out... Exactly what material and laminate combo was this printed on? It could be that they are using an incorrect vinyl or laminate if...

it might not stick at all. Cut a test piece and put it on a worrysome looking area. Some of the flat wrap vinyl doesn't like other vinyl over it.

I will also put my voice in on recommending a GFP 563th to you. We have two of them now, kicking butt every day.

3M co-brands the MCS compatible inks (which actually ARE a different formulation of the pigment/ink than the standard inkset is), but the whole MCS/warranty compatibility program involves the whole production/documentation process start to finish. Without proper systems(like following MCS...

Pictures, pictures, pictures people! How are we to guess what's up without being able to see the failure and having somewhat vague references to materials/inks? And, yes, 3M Primer 94 or relief cuts are required/recommended for certain channels/recesses.

CompassMicro is the only USA parts seller.

I am not fully understanding what is failing or causing the failure you're seeing. Personally, we haven't seen any failures from any 3M products or 3M inks due to manufacturing errors any time that I can recall. What ink, printer, and what material are being used? You might be able to find out...
