  1. Opinion on Arlon Wrap Material

    Has anyone used Arlon DPF 6000 series films for wraps. I am just trying to compare it to 3m IJ180 materials. Their is almost a third in price saving between both materials, and every saving counts. But not at the risk of failures! SC
  2. PET/POP UP Material what profile?!!

    I have a Valuejet 1604 with Wasatch 6.2 RIP. I am wondering what profile I should use when printing PET/POP UP Banner material? I have none on my huge list of profiles. Many Thanks SC
  3. Urgent help needed with Mimaki JV3 firmware update

    Some of the firmware on the JV3 is not able to be removed once installed (I think). If just to get the machine running again and the chips are out of date, not empty. Is to pull out the main board battery leave for a few minutes and reinstall. This resets the dates back to when it was built...

  6. How would you create this effect?

    Thank you everyone. What is skillz? SC
  7. Mutoh Ultima SC1400D

    We have also used the SC1400D to cut moto-x graphics. To be brutally honest, "it is not up to the job". We had a guy here in the UK supply us a 60 degree blade but the amount of extra pressure and how slow the machine has to be made to cut the material it just wrecks the machine. It should be...
  8. How would you create this effect?

    How would you create this effect? I realise this is just Stencil font but it looks like it has chunks and bits out of the edges. Almost grungy. Thanks SC
  9. SC540 Head Board F3 Blown

    OMG!!! If a fuse blows it normally specifies a fault on the circuit. The fuse is their to protect other parts of the circuit. This sounds like your head board or cables has a fault. I would be replacing these items first BEFORE fitting a new fuse. SC
  10. VJ1204 that sat for 3 months

    Unless this was stored with the cleaning cartridges in it or left on standby (running cleaning cycles). You will need a new head. These machines thrive on being used a lot. But they are a disaster when used little or not at all. You can try soaking the head for long periods but if blocked you...
  11. Droplet sizes?

    FatCat What version of wasatch are you running your 1604 off? I am running Wasatch 6.2 on our VJ1604 and can't find an ink cost estimator on it. I also thought like me you were running bulk inks through your machine. So ink costs must be a hell of a lot lower than if you were running OEM inks...
  12. Does my customer have a dirty mind ? ?

    LOL You could not have made that as well if you had done it on purpose. SC
  13. Ugly truck with stupid body lines..in my opinion

    That is nothing compared to the new Ford Transit Custom. Even the lines you think are level are not! It is as if the designers have made a car derived commercial vehicle. The Transit Custom only looks good wrapped or with no graphics at all. At least your truck has some sort of levelness! SC
  14. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    Cheers for that but sadly the client hasn't a clue what they want!!!! I have just spent 4 hours designing something to what specs they gave me and now they "Just don't know"! I wish their was an app that was available to get out what is in someone's head!!!!!! SC
  15. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    I am looking for some cake design artwork for a customers car. The customer supplied me this picture of a vehicle they have seen on the internet. Does anyone know where to get such artwork? Cheers SC
  16. I quit a year ago, but now I'm back to Signmaking, questions..

    Getting back to the question asked.....- In answer to your issues... 100% payment either up font or on day of completion, whichever one you feel comfortable with. I normally find if the client can't afford the whole bill before the job proceeds, I am 100% certain they will not be at the end of...
  17. wind load on signs

    I had a similair issue with a job many years ago. it was a 45'x10' Aluminium sign on three 8" wide posts. In the end I got my ground engineer friend to work out wind loadings etc. but this did not help for what happened next. The sign was sited on a small hill and on the day the sign was fitted...
  18. Terrible Print Quality - Need Help Troubleshooting

    I didn't even realise this machine existed!! When was the manufacturing date as their is very little info on it anywhere? It seems a very over complex machine especially having 12 print heads and by the videos I have seen of it in action very very slow print speeds. I do not want to sound harsh...
  19. 3M IJ-180C for Wraps

    Our favourite wrap material at the moment. Super conformable and takes a lot of beating. This material maybe a little overkill on a flat panel trailer unless it is covered in rivets and fixings. SC
