The snap frames with a heavyweight banner in them will work fine. That is what you're looking for, but I can't recall who makes them anymore.

Where are you at in KY? Get out there and network and get some more business in. The sooner you get more in, the sooner you can get out of your other job. Make invoicing and networking (new business/customers) your first priority, and start thinking about who you know that is trustworthy enough...

Sorry, I only have local vendors who sell it to us. It is getting harder and harder to get.

How was the vinyl sitting after it was printed before it was laminated? Was it rolled up tightly on the take-up core? Solvents can't off-gas if they can't escape, and then they start going into the adhesive. Solvents are also heavier than air so they want to go downwards. Stand your rolls on...

They have come a long way from the GS6000. Epson SureColor S-Series Printers | Epson US See if your local sign supply dealer has a demo model running you can go look at.

Our old Gerber "Edge" (side opening machine) is finally getting ready to bite the dust after 20+ years of faithful service. We are looking for a decent deal on a Gerber Edge or Edge 2 to replace it with. Anyone have one for sale? PM me!

DPF8000 isn't that expensive, no where near regular cast wrap prices, let alone the high end new wrap film prices.

Switch materials. Use some DPF8000 and he wont have any issues.

Ours was always inconsistent. Even on panels printed the same day in a climate controlled environment. Couldn't trust it.

Different gradients or gradient locations on each section of the shield. Each section is its own layer in photoshop. Each layer also has a bevel layer effect.

ok, so somehow you can hit this blue. How is it that you hit the blue? I assume that the file you are trying to print is overriding RIP settings by having an embedded profile.

Different pass counts?

Check out the new Epsons. They have a real nice new interweave pattern. We used to have Mimaki JV3s here and tried switching to latex. Didn't like it and went with Epson. Everyone is happy now.

It seems two trucks are never the same, but maybe a list of "tips" for this type of job could be compiled. Avery and Oracal have materials that are NFPA compliant for chevron striping, so you are not locked into 3M DG material, but everyone usually makes you match what they are already using...

Awesome! I recently purchased a K40 co2 laser myself for hobby work. It sounds like you dabble in a bit of everything yourself. I am from up in Middletown, but moved down to NKY for a good job in the industry.
