  1. GERBER JOB NEEDING COLOURS HELP IN THE UK

    In the world of digital communications, typing in all caps is considered yelling. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  2. Question Printing Scrim banner material on roland XR640

    Looks rather cool up there. What is the humidity in your shop? It sounds like you may have a static problem where the wheel tracks are either attracting or repelling the ink. there is a ground strap under the cover that goes from the frame to the pinch wheel lever that will help (somewhat)...
  3. Help me understand 4bit vs 8bit Grayscale - EFI 16H Vs 1625

    Then I think they're talking about drop sizes which is a good thing. More is generally better, but like I said, get some prints and watch the printers work. Stats really mean nothing compared to the output. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  4. Help me understand 4bit vs 8bit Grayscale - EFI 16H Vs 1625

    I'm a little confused - you say 4 bit vs 8 bit grayscale in the subject and 4 levels vs 8 levels in the body of the post. 4 bit would have 8 levels and 8 bit would a have 128 levels. A big difference. In the end, I would agree with you - see prints off of both machines. If you're concerned...
  5. Employee Morale

    We ask our techs what they want to learn new each year and then figure out a way to help them learn it. We also let them lead on projects that they express an interest in and try our best to make their efforts succesful.
  6. Vehicle Wrap DPI, how to manage customer expectations

    Your pricing was based on the image they supplied. If you have to purchase a high quality stock image somewhere, that should be passed on to the customer (with a mark up). So why look for free images? Look for good images.
  7. Using Onyx cut marks on Roland xc-540

    Or try adjusting the sensor level, but that can be tricky to get it to read the black from another printer. You would probably need to print a large black square and just let the printer think it was printing the black target before it goes to read the output level.
  8. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) is quite popular around here. It's typically made from urethane rather than vinyl and is almost bullet proof. It will take a rock hit at highway speeds and not even show a mark. It mostly gets applied to the leading surfaces like your grill, side view mirrors, etc...
  9. Need Help tax exemption responsibilities (TX)

    I would check with your CPA with regards to the specifics as they vary from state to state and he would be the most knowledgeable about your particular situation. You're asking a bunch of us who can't even agree on what the best printer is or what the best wrap film is. Get this answer from an...
  10. Mutoh VJ1624 [KCMY] S/C Read Error

    Is this Mutoh ink or a third party ink? Mutoh has the toughest system for preventing smart card duplication. If the above trick doesn't do it, you probably have a burnt smart card. If it's Mutoh ink (or not, I guess) get with your ink supplier. If it happens frequently, you may need to get a...
  11. Vp-540 head issue

    I see way more than 3 missing nozzles and they appear to be at the back of the head. Can you share how you syringe a local area of the print head like the front or back? I've only just done it through the cap top which pulls all the nozzles equally.
  12. Printing and cutting colored vinyl

    what cutter are you using?
  13. Vp-540 head issue

    whenever I see damaged lined up like that across more than one head, I suspect a head strike. Take a look at the bottom of the head and see if you can see any physical damage. Have you replaced the captops? I would do that before replacing a head. Also, make sure that it is level in the...
  14. Need Help Gerber Envision Pouncing

    I think the problem is that by the time the enVision series came out, there really weren't any customers needing to pounce a pattern, so finding one second hand will be really tough as well. The older GS and HS plotters all used to come with the pounce tool as a standard part of the tool kit...
  15. Printing dark blue L25500

    I would also use RGB rather than CMYK - especially if you're trying to hit a blue.
  16. Service contract renewal-Yay or Nay?

    I think Vander was referring to regular preventative maintenance visits by a tech. I whole heartedly agree with that from a service provider's point of view. It sounds like their giving you a free qualification inspection to prove that you don't have any pre-existing conditions. Sent from my...

    Check with a Mutoh dealer in your area. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  18. Service contract renewal-Yay or Nay?

    A service contract will allow you to budget your maintenance expenses target than let them surprise you all at once. This known, fixed expense is easier to incorporate into your calculations for shop time as well, allowing you to be more accurate when pricing your products. Most service...
