  2. newb .tiff question

    Both are correct. Open in Photoshop. If it was saved as a layered .tiff and file was layered you should be able to move elements around. If the elements were vectored and brought in as a 'smart object', you can double click on them and they might open in Illustrator.
  3. Question looking for advice for a first time digital printer purchase

    Almost anything other than banner you will probably have to laminate. As far a printer, latex might be a great fit for you and HP has a print/cut, #bigfishDM has deals all the time. We made the transition from eco-solvent to latex about a year ago and it's been the best decision. With the...

  5. Having problem with Printing please help me out !!!!

    So as the material runs through the printer it can create a small static charge. This charge will pull the ink to different areas as well as pull in dust that's in the air. This happens to a lot of shops in really dry areas or at times of the year with low humidity. Go buy a humidifier that...

    It looks almost like a dirt and static issue....
  7. Suggestions Wrap on wrap

    Wiping with IPA should be fine. Don't use a torch as the flame will gloss the matte finish. But like #jfiscus said it might not stick at all or it might come of pretty easily.
  8. High visual orange or green vinyl or substrate?

    Most likely HIP or DG reflective. If this is for road construction they might require specific manufacture as well.
  9. Suggestions Wondering if you would..............................

    I'm pretty sure those handles are released with the set screw in the door. That being said, how long would it take to remove them and than put them back compared to cutting around them and fighting them during the install?
  10. Anyone ele having issues with 3M ink Over-saturation?

    I wasn't aware that 3M made inks....Also what's failing? Are the graphics coming off, is the laminate coming off, is it in the same spot on all the vehicles or is it different places? How soon after installing them are they failing? What type of material is it or supposed to be? Are these...
  11. HP 315 black ink not drying

    I think that 's true for most machines as the dealer often only gives a few hours of training and are limited on their knowledge, on line videos and tutorials are usually outdated.
  12. Is there a latex respirator anyone can recommend?

    We just switched to latex about a year ago. My co-worker said that they smell like an MRI machine, but I very rarely noticed a smell, what are you printing on when you smell it the most?

  14. Storefront Window Graphics

    So I'm 3M certified and we're a 3M shop, so from my own two cents I would say yes that 3M would be a step up, but in reality it might not be depending on your conditions and overhead. If your happy with Oracal maybe just look at upgrading to their equivalent of 3M IJ180 and see how it works for...
  15. Reverse print on back of clear acrylic help

    Depends on what your using. For clear we use 3650-114 and don't have that issue. Also it could be that you're not laying down enough ink, the colors aren't correct, etc.... there could be a few issues. Also how are you applying it, dry, soapy water,?
  16. Storefront Window Graphics

    I say it's pretty much up to the customer. What's in their budget and their needs. If they want something that's going to last longer, better quality it's going to cost more. If they want cheap, it'll be cheap. Just make sure they're aware of all the factors.
  17. HP 315 black ink not drying

    With latex the higher pass count does not equal more ink. To increase or decrease your ink you need to use the ink density. With heavy saturated areas not drying.... increase your heat, the material might become deformed in the 'curing area' a little deformation is ok but a lot means that...
  18. How do you get chain stores as clients?

    Most is not all of these 'corporate' business have companies that they deal with that do massive national roll outs. They contract out companies that pay local installers to take site survey's and install the graphics. They pay very little for the work involved, kits can be incorrect, getting...
  19. Transfer Media

    Most media isn't a one fit all. Heat transfer material is very specific to that purpose and should really be used for anything else. For vehicles and most stickers, our 'go to' material is IJ180 CV3 with 8518 lam. As far as purchase you can reach our to BigfishDM. He has deals all the time...
