  1. Filling year end capacity

    Geez, I didn't see the original post but personally wouldn't get offended by someone trying to hit/beat their goals. I get what y'all are griping about, but at the end of the day it's not like he's asking for donations - Firesprint is obviously a trade partner and it's a mutually beneficial...
  2. xr-640, dripping ink while printing

    Looks like it could be a combination of having lint/fibers on the heads (or beside them, on the head carriage) and buckling media.
  3. Question How do you make a transmissive profile for a clear film when it has permanent adhesive and an opaque backer?

    I was curious about what a transmissive profile was so I googled it, and found this which may or may not help: https://www.northlight-images.co.uk/downloads/TransmissiveHelp.pdf Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in profiling can chime in, my experience has been fairly limited. We have made a...
  4. Sign Tape?

    Could this be it perhaps? https://www.findtape.com/Scapa-136-Polyethylene-Film-Tape/p158/?id=158 (it will let you select 1/2" green rolls as the option) PS. How are things out there, getting back to normal yet? I hope you are staying safe and dry!
  5. Quickbooks 2022?

    That looks pretty slick! I think my buddy uses this app for his business and he loves it. For QBO, are you on the Plus plan? I'm assuming we would need to get that so that we can cut PO's. The email glitch sounds like PITA but hopefully there is a fix. Looks like we'll have to move over...
  6. Hello from Edmonton Canada

    Welcome from Winnipeg!
  7. Print Quality

    Sorry, what was the question? :roflmao:
  8. Best no parking sign

    Ah oui. You're right eh!
  9. Lifting heavy rolls

    That's some impressive rigging you've got going there! Well done sir. :thumb:
  10. Best no parking sign

    We made a parking sign a couple years ago that said something along the lines of "No parking - This is not a drop-off zone, unattended children will be eaten" or something like that. Customer had lazy soccer moms dropping off their kids in his private lot every day, and got fed up. He had a...
  11. State of large format printing businesses

    FYI this original thread was from over 5 years ago, and the OP never came back. Guess he came to his senses!
  12. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    That's a really nice finished product! Looking at the completed pictures you would never guess it has a wood skeleton inside. Do you use ACM or MDO for the faces/cladding?
  13. Print quality

    Laying down too much ink too quickly. When printing heavy coverage on gloss media (on Rolands) we generally print in high quality so it has time to dry the ink between passes.
  14. Customers Not Planning Ahead is Costing Me $$$

    Fixed that for ya. Nothing worth than having someone breathing down your neck only to stare at that damn order on the counter for a week after the "due date".
  15. Fuzzy barcodes

    Another angle, you may be getting overspray due to change in environment/humidity levels? Just a thought. I know we have to keep humidifiers running to keep our printers happy, although our Arizona will usually have ink drips rather than printing fuzzy.
  16. Fuzzy barcodes

    Try printing in uni-directional, or lowering your head gap, and see if it improves.
  17. F Performance on Summa f1612

    Sure about that? Pretty sure there are a couple of members here that would tend to disagree with you. You may not have personally encountered any issues but I would have to say "zero board failures" is incorrect.
  18. Customers Not Planning Ahead is Costing Me $$$

    Ding ding ding. Keep lots of common material on hand, make the ordering process painfully simple for your customers, and just say no when they don't play by your rules & ask for unreasonable turnaround times. Either that or just double your price and hire more people to relieve some of your...
  19. Seeking pantone-matched acrylic

    What is the end use? I mean you could get white acrylic and paint it to match any pantone you want. Or order it from Gemini if you don't have those capabilities.
  20. First time buyer for Large Format Printer

    If I'm understanding you correctly........are you saying you're wrapping vehicles with unlaminated UCJV prints? Would love to hear more about this, because I find it hard to believe. Which ink-set are you running? Out of all our printers, the UCJV has the hardest and most scratch-resistant...
