Make sure it's printing where it's supposed to. Had somewhat the same issue when I had my Roland.
Figured out the print was skewing. Was a long time ago and don't recall what the exact fix was.
Could be something as simple as trusting the sheet cut function. Don't. Make sure your vinyl...
1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. Some basic grade school math for volume will tell you the rest. When I dome decals the dome is roughly 3/32"/2.38mm tall.
10.858cc's of fluid per decal.
Trimmed 17 pounds by walking our dog seven days a week. Stopped drinking 1-2 gallons of milk per week too. Had to do something to stay off statins and so far it's working.
I use an old blueprint cabinet. Drawers are 45" x 35" x 1.5". Super handy for organizing. Client was going to throw it so we loaded it on my truck instead.
That's a new one for me too. Based on the pictures I would tent over the bars then do a cut and drop. The human eye/brain interface can "fix" a lot of visuals that drive us sign people crazy.

Supply shortages are simple economics:
1)Manufacturers of sign panels, lumber, whatever, shutdown or slowed operations to a crawl laying off workers in the process.
No point paying staff to make product you can't sell.
2)These manufacturers calculated needs based on a nationwide shut down so...
We're in a phase of what I'll call Covid Catch Up. The shut down created the business surge we are seeing right now. I wonder what things will look like once the backlog is gone.
Note: When I say business I mean all of them. From global manufacturers, construction, to mom and pop operations...
If it worked fine before then you will have to backtrack and try to make a list of things that could have changed. Humidity? Different laminate? New substrate? Something jacked up with the rollers or drive?
I used to build precision equipment for the paper industry and sometimes the...
Slow right now, but my business has always run in streaks. Goes from wanting a shade more work to wondering how I'll get all of it done. Right now slack time is welcome as I'm in the finishing stages of a kitchen remodel.
