  1. Dancing on vinyl

    We've been doing a 100ft runway for a local fashion show every year for the past 3 years. We use Avery 2921 and DOL 2080(anti-slip), prices aren't bad and you can use it for other stuff if you have a bunch left over. They are always happy with the results. The venue has a pretty uneven tile...
  2. Dumb Mistakes

    lol
  3. Printing on static cling problems

    I only ever get the zig zag lines from the rollers on old or really cheap stuff (plasticizers). The rest of it however looks like incompatibility issue. Have you tried to do an optimizer test to see if increasing or decreasing the optimizer makes any difference? Typically that blotchiness is...
  4. best way to impose 200 cut vinyl

    I'll either use a script to place all the pages into an illustrator file and arrange them, or send it through Onyx and just cancel the print so that it sends an imposed cut file to the cutter. Sending it through the RIP is faster but wastes a bit more vinyl because it leaves space for the cut...
  5. Question Biker patches

    Stahls, we've never ordered them but we got a couple in a sample kit they sent us. Quality was good. I don't know about their pricing though, we've only ordered rolls from them.
  6. An Annoying Outlook issue..I need help with plz.

    Does it kick in if you hit F7 while writing an email? Edit: I think Outlook uses Word for spell checking, so you may want to make sure both are up to date.
  7. Question How do you lift large signs into place >10ft high?

    We would probably just walk it up on ladders, that sign isn't very heavy considering other things we've done it with. We did a 4x8 recently this way on 2 A-frames, wouldn't be much different for a 5x10. Get two corners set first and then add the rest of your anchors. When it gets above 12 feet...
  8. HP Latex 560 :: Error 98:03

    My money is on too many nozzles out in that yellow-magenta head.
  9. School me on Grommets

    We use a hiker and #2 grommets. Grimco sent us another brand of #2 by accident and they did NOT fit, so be careful. That may have just been that one brand though, I forget what they were exactly. Test as suggested.
  10. Home made Take up reel? Take up Reel hacks?

    You could definitely rig something up with some simple code on a raspberry pi and a contact sensor that would queue a motor for a second or two when material gets low enough. I've thought about it when we had a Roland that had no automatic take-up, but we ended up getting an hp so I never had to...

  12. Vinyl cutter recommendation

    We do 90% of our labels on IJ35 or IJ40, depending on permanent or removable, works like a charm.
  13. Vinyl cutter recommendation

    Something like this? https://www.brother.ca/en/p/CM650W Never used one and I can't imagine it's very efficient, loading one sheet at a time. Seems more like a hobby tool.
  14. Google image search not working

    Yea, mine's working again too. Looks like they woke up.
  15. Google image search not working

    Doesn't seem to work from main page. If you do a google search for anything and then hit images, you can do it from there and it should work.
  16. Ultraflex DSS 12 oz blockout banner icc profile?

    I ended up tuning another smooth banner when I had to run this stuff. I forget which one. I will warn you, our 360 hated this stuff, head strikes were very common.
  17. HP 560 Line Sensor?

    I just got this on my 360, I'm assuming it's gonna be very similar if not exactly the same on the 560. It's really easy to get to, take off the right cover and then unclip the metal cover on the carriage that covers the PCB. The line sensor is on the right side attached with a ribbon cable and...
  18. 360 Print Issues

    Update: It was a dirty encoder sensor. I was hoping not to have to take it apart that much but ended up doing it, we're back up and running. Thanks for the input.
  19. 360 Print Issues

    The pads are touching, I never even noticed those were there before. The first time I cleaned the encoder strip, a tiny bit of dirt came off, nothing compared to when I do monthly cleanings, but you could tell there was at least something there. The next two times, absolutely nothing. I even...
  20. 360 Print Issues

    I’ve been fighting with this thing for a bit now and can’t get it to print properly. It started with every so often I would get a couple inches of the print where everything was blurry like the heads weren’t aligned. It would fade in and out. (There was another recent thread with this issue)...
