  1. I need to install these 3-color decals today. Quick question on 'where' to layer.

    I am just going to confuse the issue...but if it were me... I would use air release vinyl (apply dry !) for the bottom layer and apply the top layer(s) in the shop, because you have time to fix things before going on site. Apply the top layers in the shop, hinging (vertical, horizontal...
  2. Matte Black 1080

    Nice ! The job, I mean. I have a Ferrari 458 in my imaginary stable of unobtainable cars. Red, not wrapped. The FF looks too much like a station wagon - or Shooting Brake, were I a Brit - which I guess it is. But I ramble. Anyway, I was wondering if you used knifeless tape to trim the...
  3. Light whining noise on sp-300

    Belt = Cable, that is, not the metal cable that pulls the carriage, but the white belt / cable above it that powers / controls the carriage.
  4. Light whining noise on sp-300

    Could be the belt that powers the carriages. That is a weak point on these machines. You might try cleaning the tray where the belt rides then using a silicon lube. First spray the lube on a Q-tip or rag outside the printer room (so it doesn't get in the wrong places.) Then wipe the tray with...
  5. Help With Media Feeding Askew

    We use, what we call, the "Steer it into the skid" method to straighten our vinyl (Roland SP 300). That is, if the front edge of the material is running to the left, say 1/2" in five feet, we "steer" the media, say 1/32" or so (it is all by feel) to the left. You really have to move the media...
  6. Attaching Jewelite to Acrylic

    Thanks to everyone for the information. We used Weld-On 3, followed by 40, dabbed on the crease. Used the nail method to hold it and it worked just fine. Don't think we will make a habit of it - not a fan of climbing / holding ladders or renting lifts - but the weather was nice for the install...

    Mask and Contour Cut Here are a couple extra tricks I added to earlier instructions:
  8. Attaching Jewelite to Acrylic

    One of our truck wrap customers has asked us to replace a shaped acrylic sign face that fell in a windstorm. This is not a product we make in our normal routine, but is a project that we should be able to handle. Getting the shape made was no problem and in the past, we have attached Jewelite...
  9. Roland Versacam 300v

    Static Makes Sense It is cold and dry here this winter and we have had some issues with spray. Hopefully it is just an environmental issue - And I also hope it's not the heads. Thanks for the Roland memo!
