I would first start with a quality primer and then paint it with anything you like. Typically, I have used Sherwin Williams outdoor Latex (Super Paint) coupled with their primer with good results.

Yes, 1/8" stretch (if not more) over a 12' panel is definitely going to happen. Especially if using a softer vinyl. Heck, just the weight of it hanging against the wall will stretch it on it's own. The key is to either design with that in mind (no continuous tight fitting elements all the way...

A lot of sign companies advertise they do wraps and in the end they don't have the manpower or know-how to actually install them. I would think if you are an above average wrapper, and you have other sign shops coming to you for the install work then why not? Installation of wraps requires...

I wouldn't waste the money on a chip charger. You can buy a lot of chips for $250. However, I would still only buy a few of each color to test your problem and then keep them on hand for future issues. This should allow you to determine if the problem lies with the chips/carts or is a printer...

I often use one of my BS yard sign tools to help lay big pieces of vinyl faster. The soft felt edge doesn't damage un-laminated prints (if applicable) and the size really makes it go faster. However, depending on the circumstances you still may need to go back and touch up with a small...

Sometimes placement of the card itself is to blame. The ValueJets are very picky about where the chip itself is located and if it doesn't make perfect contact with the sensor it will throw that code. You can try measuring a cartridge that works against one that doesn't and see if there is more...

I am guessing you got a 1204? If so, and if it is has sat for 3 years without being properly flushed for long-term storage, I would expect you'll likely need to replace everything in the ink train. (Maintenance station, head, dampers and ink lines.) Parts alone will likely be around...

Hmm, OK -weird. Everyone lists this as a cast laminate Grimco, Fellers, even on 3M's site; "Scotchcal overlaminate 8508 is an excellent option for those looking for an intermediate cast product at a calendared price," explains Adam Larson, business development supervisor for 3M Commercial...

Typically, we've been using 8518 on most of our long-term outdoor prints. However, wondering if we can get by with something a little less pricey on flat prints mounted to poly-metal, MDO, etc. or decals applied to flat surfaces. Was looking at the 8508 but it only rates for 3 yrs. on a cast...

AMEN!!!!! :U Rock:

Yes, please let us know how the increased exposure is affecting your business.

Welcome from Columbus!

Welcome fellow Buckeye!

Try using a uni-directional profile and see what you get. If it goes away, you likely have too many missing black nozzles. If it doesn't then I would guess you need to do a PF adjustment for that specific material.

We have a 64 and a 48 here. The 64 is great, but we most often run 54" on it - which our 48" can't do. But like others have said, banner is the only thing you commonly find in 63-64". If you were able to get a 72" machine, you'd probably have a very small list of vendors that could get you...

Not to sound harsh, but no amount of disbelief or questioning will deny the fact that the maintenance station is a replaceable item. These are very simple machines and the more time you spend with them the easier it is to understand and diagnose problems. Trust me, I've seen my fair share of...

My best guess is that your maintenance station is due for replacement. If you haven't done it since new then I guarantee it is due. I've discovered that typically when you get missing nozzles on either the black channels or the magenta channels it is due to the head not sitting squarely on the...

There, Bob said it best - a hypo would definitely do the trick. I personally don't use the cleaning carts, I buy cleaning solution in a litre bottle from my ink supplier. Anyway, no, I don't think you'd find much benefit in running the cleaning carts at this point. There is a chance that it...

The cleaning cartridges are usually only used when you are trying to purge the machine for storage or shipping. However, you can crack them open to get the cleaning solution out which is what you would use to clean your drain lines, capping station and also what you would put on the swab to dab...
