  1. Question How to save art for vehicle wraps?

    Always, always use the flip every other panel option.
  2. Vinyl by the yard

    It seems to happen a LOT even with major brands like 3M.
  3. EPSON S50610 Pausing during printing

    I think it is network traffic, but I still have not pinpointed it here either. Mostly it happens around when people are on lunch streaming netflix, etc. Fortunately it doesn't happen that much. You may also have a computer with a virus somewhere on your network that you don't know about.
  4. Opinions for new laminator needed - interested in one with take-up...

    As mentioned above, seriously look into the GFP 563th. We use the heck out of ours and have had no issues. A couple of us here like to use the top heat function and a couple never use it, I think it gets rid of the silvering that you sometimes see. We have run thousands of rolls through ours; if...
  5. Ving 60" Economical Full - auto Low Temp Wide Format Cold Laminato

    Get a GFP 563th. Just taught a new guy how to run ours yesterday; within 2 hours he was running it 100% on his own. He has already ran 10+ full rolls through it.
  6. Question How to save art for vehicle wraps?

    I let the RIP do the tiling unless it is a pickup truck (bedsides) or the customer requests a seamless wrap. Flattened CMYK TIFF files are what RIPs like best for prints.
  7. After cutting, reset blade to left position

    Push it with your hand? Use the arrow keys to move it?
  8. Looking for Printer to Use In New Company

    See who services locally, that is most important.
  9. What is this material?

    That really really looks like Gerber LexEdge material. Roll-based lexan material; virtually indestructible and unscratchable since the print is 2nd surface. We pwint a lot of it for faceplates of generators/machines where buttons are constantly being pushed and levers flipped.
  10. CHEVROLET GLADIATOR

    The "Gladiator" is a conversion van made by Glaval. It is a "Glaval Gladiator van". I had a Glaval Ford HalfBack van for years that I loved... Looks like they used the standard chevrolet knockoff font.
  11. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Here is a "fair trailer" template, @ 10 pct scale. Enjoy!

    You will have to deal with someone in sales; I am just the Art Director here, but give us a shout at CruxRoadboardz.com , our installers are certified professionals and I'm sure we'd be glad to work with you.
  13. Mutoh Printer keeps turning itself off - please help!

    Start by keeping it simple. Unplug every cord plugged into it besides the power cord and leave them unplugged for now, go ahead and remove the print media also. Now go ahead and unplug the printer, now hit the power button and hold it 10 seconds. Leave it unplugged and off 15 minutes. Plug the...
  14. Photo enlargement for wall mural.

    Maybe the original image (even though it is 12") just aint ever going to work out that large. OnOne is great software for enlargements, I use it all the time.
  15. Chevron Production

    Even though the NFPA regualtion has been out for quite a few years now specifying the required materials for chevron striping, the majority of what we do still does NOT comply due to customer/dept requests. Some customers know & understand the reasons for the regulations/material, and some don't...

    Friends don't let friends use cheap material.
  17. Wood Grain Films

    Do you have any photos of completed installs?
  18. Tool for manually cutting stripes?

    For STRAIGHT stripes you need a sprocket fed plotter and vinyl. Something like a Gerber plotter; that is what we have here. With sprockets it cannot walk to either side, you can run the whole length of a roll on one and have the stripe perfect.
  19. Equipment prefrence

    If you are in Indianapolis, stop by Advantage Sign Supply and have them demo some equipment for you. personally, the latex wasn't a good fit for us and we now run Epson machines. They sell both. Also, be sure to check out a GFP laminator while you're there, they're awesome. I am not going to...
  20. Suggestions photo sites to buy large files

    We primarily use iStock here, but I have got a few off of unsplash before. Find a good local photgrapher and partner with them; it seems that the majority of our customers want "local" images for their murals.
