I can’t tell if there is a font for this one or if it was created by hand. The “a” look identical but the “l” looks like they are different sizes. Thanks for any help.

I have used both in my machine and the colors and output have been equal. I currently am using Bordeaux in a bulk system and having great results. I will say that the Bordeaux is cheaper and available in amazon for $65 per liter or $48 for the cartridge. The seller Has been very quick to ship...

It’s post set concrete that is set in about 20 minutes or so. You pour it around the post dry. I usually pour it in and pack it into place with everything plumb and then some people will leave it and walk to let moisture from the ground or rain finish it but I pour water over it and then throw...

Definitely a proflie issue. If you are running Rasterlink, you have have some options without modifying the profile (but fixing the profile is best). You can increase your passes, run unidirectional and add an inter-pass delay. This will allow the media to be on the heater longer to get it more...

Fully Operational!

I would be interested in knowing what the room is like overnight or where your materials are being stored. Since it’s summertime and humidity is up, you may be collecting additional moisture in your backing paper that is drying out during printing. You would probably also be surprised at how...

As a wholesale sign printer, I’ll print whatever is requested. My reputation is on putting out quality product only since I don’t deal with retail customers. That aside, being a retired officer myself, I don’t believe any officer should be making a public opinion on anything, anywhere. It shows...

There may be a cost saving sub out for you as well if you hang the letters and just bring in an electrician to do the electrical connections. That part only takes about 15-20 minutes so it shouldn’t cost much. (Assuming power is at the sign location which it usually is in strip malls and...

In Indiana the state does not do any electrical licensing. They leave it up to each municipality to regulate electrical contractors. Generally you don’t have to have any type of electrical license to install them as long as the power to the sign is within 6’ of your sign connection. Since it’s...

You can also get a fantastic resize by manually doing it in Photoshop. Step one is to open the image and then make the image size changed to 300 dpi. Next, having the bicuboc smoother checked, change the image size from what it is to 5% larger. Example: of the image is 8x10”, multiply 10x1.05...

There is regular maintenance of the encoder strip mentioned in the service manual so there could be some possibility to that. I emailed your info to another tech friend and I’m awaiting his response. I don’t think it’s encoder because it’s not consistently doing it. I assume that the first...

It’s not uncommon with these heads to have multiple jets out and keep running. If you call tech support, they will likely have you run a force drop detection and then run 4 straight cleaning cycles and then another drop detection test to see if it gets the detection number under 200 or...

Flatbed cutter is definitely on the list. I did find immediately that since I sped up production, now my bottleneck has moved to finishing. It seems to be a never ending hole. Today, I spent most of the day screen printing t-shirts and thinking about how much faster it would be if I had an auto...

I appreciated your info on this. I was up in the air a little and your post helped to push me over the edge and take the leap. I've had it in the shop for about 3 weeks already and have already run a couple hundred yard signs and about 100 4x8 panels through it already. It's an amazing printer...

Are you sure the paper isn’t from cutting too deep? I have had that happen on many jobs on different printers with different media’s. If you break through the top layer of the liner, it will often do that. Cutting should be just through the vinyl and barely make a line if any on the liner. Some...

I started printing on a L25500 and I still have it. It is an extremely versatile printer that doesn’t really care much about what you shove through it. Problem media’s have only been cheap, non curl vinyls (like PET but the knock off brands) and I had an 18oz Heytex banner that had plasticizer...

And note that many service contracts don’t cover printheads. The Service contract for My HP FB550 would cost me about $4k per year and doesn’t cover any printheads. It only covers parts and labor for the rest of the machine. The most expensive part I could find for it is a power supply that cost...

I suspect the onyx profile settings are causing the problem. The printer profile setting may have the ink set improperly set up and/or the substrate profile may have improper settings. If those don’t match up, you won’t get it to work right. I know for a fact on my Mimaki (cjv-150) that I can...

As far as the pixelation, I found a way to blow up a lot of small images to sizes like the event requires with minimal pixelation. I was able to blow up a photo that was natively about 5x7 at 300dpi to 29’wx9’tall. (Obviously we cropped the top and bottoms quite a bit) It was not pixelated but...
