  4. 3m vinyl

  5. entire cartridges siphoned empty over night

    I think I did something similar with my roland. I did a head soak and left the heads capped(maybe too tight) and next morning I lost all my ink. I believe you need to turn on the machine after a head soak and let the capping station reset itself to the heads. Hope this makes sense. John

  17. Please read if your are considering Arlon GTX

    I'm glad I waited to try it. Had a supplier try to get me to drop oracal for that stuff. Haven't read many good things about it. On the other hand, i've had very little problems with any oracal products i've used. I just started using 3551 on some flat trailers and it is awesome imho. Their...
