Any luck yet? We are also searching for one (or more possibly) here in NKY without any luck!

There is bi-directional calibration tests you can run to get it printing better. Our old Mimaki tech fixed ours in a half hour or so last time we had a problem.

I have to agree with this user. We ran two JV3s here for 10 years, then our workload increased so much that even running both machines around the clock wasn't enough. We built a special "degassing" box to speed up production time also so that within 12 hours we were able to laminate after...

I have sprayed automotive clear coat over top of prints that were already installed on substrates. I wouldn't think it would work well to paint vinyl and then try to install it, as you'd get cracking, etc as you stretch/bend the print.

Print it as close as you can to color, some printers can add metallic to the ink or you can use a metallic over-laminate, but it wont be optically clear. Make sure they understand the ONLY way to make it an exact match, is to have it painted.

CheetahWraps (fellers) will sell it by the yard. get a hold of your local Avery supplier salesperson (grimco/fellers) and see what they can do for you.

We use a lot of Real Gold's products here and they are quality products. Worlds different from the quality of VINYLefx material which we also use a lot of.

Yes, put a different brand of media in there and report back if the problem continues.

Arlon DFP8000 works great for us for low energy plastics.

It looks like the motor is getting overloaded when rewinding at high speed. (Unless when you check the vinyl itself is damaged?) but it sounds like mechanical failure within the machine to me. First step is to take the whole case off the printer and blow out everywhere you can, while it's apart...

All of our installers primarily use Geek Wrap squeegees now, but they still keep oddballs like Golden Squeegees and the standard 3M blue ones around in their pouches also. They also use the little hooked chopped down squeegee things for tight areas... can't remember their names.

We are thinking of adding doming to our capabilities, but with no real experience producing actual domed decals I cannot recommend which machine to purchase. Can anyone here let me know what machine they prefer, or do not prefer for this?

3M has made some major materials changes just recently, so there are a lot of new options in 680CR solid color reflective materials. they should conform and stick well to black. Good luck getting one of their new swatch books though, we could only get one!

We're not IN Indy, but we do travel there. www.cruxroadboardz.com or our preferred contract installers (also PDAA) https://www.facebook.com/WrapRatz/

I'm not Deano55, but I would REALLY like to recommend Epson over HP for vibrant colors w/o hassle. We have both here and when you need vibrant colors we always turn to the Epson S70670.

You may be looking at a Gerber Edge print on reflective. It produces solid prints on reflective that don't have a "layered look" to them. Post up pics of the vinyl if you don't mind. Are you sure that the yellow striping doesn't come as yellow? I've only done a few buses, but the yellow I've...

Rubo, care to post up a write-up here? I have a buddy with a 6-color machine that would be useful if converted to 4-color. I'm sure everyone here would appreciate your knowledge!

Can you send your contact info to jason(at)cruxroadboardz.com ? (sorry to hijack the thread!)

I think it wants you to replace that down arrow button, looks like it's about worn out.... I haven't seen that warning yet on mine so I can't help ya, sorry. Your local tech support should be able to tell you what part to order, I know my local guy would tell me what it is. I would bet on...
