  1. Latex 315 Didn't Print Overlap. Color Band Issue?

    Why use color the color bars on a full color print? I only ever turn that on when I'm doing something with like 80% white space and few colors. Also it looks to me like you tiled the print before sending to the RIP, and possibly have something set that cut off those inside edges. Just send the...
  2. grainy yard signs

    We have had this problem A LOT lately. We've picked up some new customers (new to us anyway, we absorbed a customer base from another shop we purchased) and many of these jobs the customer has returned with the signs and bitched that the colors are off. We match them up with the PMS chart to the...
  3. Suggestions HP 360 preferred vinyl

    ALWAYS Color Correction ON. Otherwise it isn't using the profile. If colors are off when you have it on, that is a profile problem. Now if you run a job with it off and you're happy with it, make sure you note that somewhere in your file or production notes so you remember for repeat orders...
  4. Lexel & VHB foam tape

    Lord Adhesive Signlok 810 is what we use. You get about 5 minutes before it starts to dry. No tape needed.
  5. Good companion vinyl for Oracal 631

    Just use any cheap printable vinyl. Your Oracal 631 isn't gonna know what brand it is.
  6. Name everything wrong with this sign

    In all actuality, for the area this is in, it should be in Hindi or Bengali.
  7. Name everything wrong with this sign

    What kind of stupid question is that?
  8. Name everything wrong with this sign

    Yeah I hate that one, but its the last standing DIY wash around. I generally just go to AutoSplash.
  9. Name everything wrong with this sign

    So do I.... right off Hillcrest/Rolater.
  10. Name everything wrong with this sign

    Hey you weren't far from where I live! I know what company did those signs....not gonna mention their name. Pretty bad though yes.
  11. Scratch resistant laminate

    Yes, I'm using 8519 for ALL vehicle graphics, and most outdoor stuff that needs laminate.
  12. HP Latex 315 Printing On IJ 180Cv3

    Absolutely you can print on it. Trying to remember if we installed from online server or if it was a default profile in our RIP. What are you using, Flexi? Onyx? EDIT: Come to think of it, I believe I had to create that profile by cloning something else and running the full calibration bit...
  13. Question What's the deal with 60" vinyl?

    I order my banner from GSG...they have their line Starprint, and it comes in 39"! It is perfect for 36" banners with 1" hems.
  14. Need Help Drying on take up roll for Vehicle Wraps

    LOL..someone disagreed with this. Uh, ok. I mean, I get it if buying a whole new machine just isn't in the budget for you, but nothing I said is untrue.
  15. HP 560 frozen after cancelling job

    I have this problem as well on our 560. I think a hardware update is needed, as I don't think I had this happen until the latest one. It's a pain, especially when I'm in a hurry, cancel a job for whatever reason, restart and then wonder why nothing is printing 15 minutes later.
  16. Need Help Drying on take up roll for Vehicle Wraps

    There IS a right answer....if this is a common problem (meaning you are printing lots of vehicle wraps/full rolls), then it may be wise to invest in a Latex printer. Nice and dry, ready for laminate right off the printer.
  17. Suggestions agressive adhesive vinyl

    Avery 3303 is a promotional grade cheap cal vinyl. You say you want strong adhesive? That has normal adhesive. If you want really high tack, then you want Arlon DFP 8000 or even GF 201 HTAP. If you just need a regular permanent adhesive on an air-egress vinyl, I recommend Avery 2903, which I...
  18. What Direction Do You Weed Your Cut Vinyl?

    Yes and it depends on which hemisphere you live in.... LOL. Never have I heard a reasoning for weed direction being based on the blade angle. What happens to vinyl cut with a 35 blade?
  19. Whats the ideal pricing for banner and stickers?

    Those prices need to be a scaled price....meaning smaller jobs are higher per s/f than a larger job. For example, a 2x6 banner might be at $8 s/f, whereas a 5' x 10' banner might be at $6.50 a s/f (not saying that's our pricing...but not far off).
  20. Anyone update to 19 yet?

    We have updated a couple of Designer only subscriptions to 19. So far haven't seen any more problems than we usually have with Flexi. Have not updated our FlexiSign & Print yet; still on 12, and it's not subscription so not shelling out the money yet. Seeing the issues others are having with...
