are you using absolute colormetric rendering intent? it does that.

maybe its some kind of condensation like the side of a cold glass? cold and wet snowy weather vould cause the window to sweat?

3551 is just a little less expensive... so for one wrap the savings aren't real huge, if you had a fleet of box trucks the savings would add up though. i only do one wrap at a time so it doesn't work for me to stock anything but 3m 180 or avery ezrs (i like it.. right now i'm using 3m)

i missed that part. you will get that warning about mixing spot and transparencies producing unexpected results.

i would think you would need to lam them together prior to paint... if you do it after its painted then the glue is really only stuck to the paint not the boards. i have never used Extira so this is just a guess really.

i have this problem sometimes when using raster effects (drop shadows are raster in illy) combined with vectors. the RIPs rendering intent for raster is perceptual and for vectors it's no correction or relative colormetric. i set both the intents in the rip to relative colormetric and it...

you will need a RIP and there aren't any cheap ones... so if it doesn't come with it... (most were sold bundled with flexisign) expect a learning curve , this won't be like a desktop inkjet that just prints when you send it a file... you will need to learn a lot about color management to...

i have one and it has been making money for me for 2 years now... it is slow but my operation is small and it is rarely a bottleneck. if it is a good deal and everything works , go for it .. there is alot to learn with any printer though. does it come with a RIP or do you have one?

your monitor profile is just so your monitor will display color correctly. sRGB or adobe 1998 are the 2 most common profiles for the program's rgb space. which ever one you use use it thru out and in your RIP too. now that is just one of the thousands of things that could be going on...

what is the big deal with people and seams? i never got it... is the graphic doing the job it supposed too? (yes.... ) is the seam just jumping out at you distracting? (no) so many things have seams, from clothes, to flooring, to metal on billboards, but you have a seam in a large...

It ain't great but here is kinda what i had in mind with stylized tile.. a real quickie design before i go home

i don't like the stylized grapes combined with the realistic textured tiles.. i would stylized the tiles maybe? the shadows are weird like pat said and i wouldn't make them go up, it looks unnatural to have the light source coming from the bottom (and the grapes light source from the top)

it's us as sign people that have set this up! there are those that have learned and run a real business but there are so many that don't. all plumbers charge a reasonble rate to be profitable and electricians too, but not us sign folk. i have began to realize that most of my gripes and...

i have had considerable fading on a wrap i did within 3 years.. it was 3m180c with the 8518, solvent print (megaink). i was shocked when i saw the van those 2-3 years later and how it had obviously faded. but i also have signs with 3651 and 210 that have been going on for 4-5 years and...

would a panel saw with the right blade in it do this? i just purchased a sawtrax but haven't tried it, has anyone else?

very nice!!!!

you must be loaded with money to be willing to drop 15k for personal use? and the more your printer sits idle the more likely it won't run the next time you need it... if its just for doing your stuff.. man you could do a full wrap and change it every year for 5 yrs for that money. or you...

these are the kinds of discussions i think we need more of... so many don't look at the whole pic of doing biz and how (or if ) you are making any money. i know i'm still struggling with the business aspects daily. who cares what your new truck wrap looks like if you aren't making money and...

what about clearshield? i use it on banners sometimes... it's waterbased and has uv inhibitors. has anybody ever used it for this app? i have used acrylics a lot for automotive airbrush work (createx) and then cleared with urethane... holds up well.

CMYKparts.com has a rebuild kit for around $800 i think... heads, maintanence station, dampers... the works. if you need it. i would just make sure it prints good .... how much is a good deal? and what about the RIP.
