I did a bunch of research before i picked this vinyl but somehow missed the detail about the white border. :banghead: Do you think going back over with heat will fix the problem? Or should I plan to redo it with the Avery?

Good morning all- i've read through the forum archives and apparently this is a somewhat common problem D: I installed a wall decal job on Dec. 17th and customer just emailed to let me know that the decals are peeling up! These were contour cut printed decals, some ±1" text, not laminated...

Scratching my head on this, but I feel like it will be an obvious one.... Any ideas, kind folks? Thanks

Come on folks, i know someone uses DPF 6500 with versaworks... plz help!

Hey all! I'm trying to print on a roll of DPF 6500 and I've tried several Versaworks profiles but am not getting good print quality. I'm printing on a Soljet Pro4 xr640 with Versaworks. My question is 2-fold: If the media's past the shelf life, will the print quality be degraded pretty badly...

I have a Roland Soljet SR640. We bought it new last year and I have had an intermittant, inconsistent problem with cutting material after laminating using the crop marks in versaworks. 9 times out of 10 jobs would come out fine- the 10th would be WAYYYY off in the scan direction, and i would...

Thank you for the good insights, folks. Every job is a learning experience. I'm gonna go with the oracal 631. This is for a gallery that we have done a lot of vinyl wall graphics for, and have always had good luck with removing the graphics, but I'm not sure what their wall was painted with...

This project is a cut vinyl graphic, so the phototex isn't a good option. I've used it before though and it was easy to install and looked great, i would use it again for any project requiring full coverage. I would like to be able to use an Avery, Arlon, Oracal or 3M matte black vinyl. I...

Good morning all, i'm hoping someone can help me figure out a matte black vinyl to use for a temporary wall graphic installation. The wall was recently repainted with "SHERWIN - WILLIAMS HARMONY ZERO VOC INTERIOR ACRYLIC LATEX FLAT" paint and I want to make sure the vinyl sticks and lasts, and...

Yeah, true about the trans film having a matte finish... that makes sense I'm just trying to get away from switching laminate all the time, and if I can use a gloss uv lam instead of matte on the trans prints, that would save a lot of switching. Would the gloss lam adversely affect the...

Hi folks! The printer that I took over for insisted on using a matte laminate with translucent graphics, and gloss for just about everything else. He said that the matte finish made up for the muddled look of the translucent print. That seemed to be his only reason. Our project manager sticks by...

^^^thanks!!

Hey folks, i'm a little confused on what PVC versus non-pvc film. For example 3M Envision 8548G is a non-pvc film. Is it OK to use with both cast and calandered digitally printed media? can someone explain the differences and applications? I'm using calendered media for our opaque and...

Hey guys, I know versaworks can make a perf cut pattern. Has anyone used this on paper to make a pounce pattern for a mural? I had a customer come in wanting a pounce pattern for some large lettering he is going to paint himself. Can anyone share info or experience on the best way to produce...

^^^^^ Yes! this is the trick. You have to look at the cmyk values, (whether in RGB or CMYK mode in PSD)and then match those in the black that you create to blend to. for example, A rich black usually works well but you will see MASSIVE differences in the gradient tones by adjusting the levels...

i guessed i had about 7 feet left. I was a few inches short. I hate that........:doh: but thanks for the custom cut tip- looks like maybe if I load a sheet, then select custom cut it may display the length.

Wow, thanks for sharing! that's fantastic.

Hi all, i'm using Roland versaworks with an xr-640 printer, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the printer/versaworks to detect the length of sheet media. The printer will roll it out and stop at the end, but Versaworks still doesn't display the length, only the width. Not sure if this is a...

Mine still has "freshman" and I have 35 posts... so 25-200 is freshman.... gotcha.

... the little designation under everyone's names??? Mine says "college freshman," some say "college senior," some say "phD", some say "Preppie" or "Premium Subscriber." Is this based on number of posts or responses? This has confused me for years. thought i would finally ask....
