My biggest banner client would freak if I did that. He specs 31.5" on his banners and they need to be within 1/16" of that so I am using a house brand material similar to ultraflex pet blockout. Fantastic material and pretty forgiving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only division in graphics that sells single rolls is traffic safety that I know of but that is a $5k minimum order usually. The only reason they sell direct is because they don't have distributors for those products. If they have distributors, you have to buy from them for good reason...

Did you ever come up with an answer to this problem? I have been having his problem on my 25500 lately. I ran banner material and everything was perfect. Then I ran orafol 3640g and the first several inches was perfect. Then I began getting spots in the print and vinyl pulling off of the backing...

This is what I have been using for the last few years and it has been holding up great. Essentially the same as the dewalt but a little less money and dewalt didn't have one when I got this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you absolutely have to use solid colors and overlap, maybe butt the two pieces up perfectly, but then add clear overtop to keep them from pulling apart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mondo Trimmer is where it's at for something like this. I originally bought the largest one to do 8' cuts when making banners. It was such a great price that I bought the 70" as well because I seldom use a straight edge and ruler anymore and an 8' cutter is a little unwieldy when you are cutting...

I am fortunate so far that I haven't had that problem with my 25500. I have had other issues but nothing I couldn't fix myself. I had an ink flood when working on replacing a fan and found that he waste ink had backed up in the printer. That was a mess to clean up. I have also had complete...

I had a "designer" send me PowerPoint files a couple weeks ago. I was the one who had to open them in PowerPoint and export them as PDF and then fix the background that didn't read properly because they didn't have a clue. I am completely self taught and know a million more things than these...

When I bought my l25500 a few years ago, it was sitting in a closet for 6 months before I bought it. They rolled it out, plugged it in and I was in business. It takes heat to cure the ink so they don't mind sitting for months without being plugged in. Don't worry about. Worst case, if some jets...

I like the idea of the wall wrap. That's and outside the box solution to the problem. When the OP said he had to mount a sign, I'm sure many of us were thinking "how do we attach this?" but given the parameters, the solution is "no sign at all, it's a wrap." The wrap should outlast the building...

I agree. I learned this the hard way myself. There is another shop I do a lot of work with and he sends me customers to work with directly when he is buried. 90% of the time, they are from the Middle East. Since I didn't know the bartering culture, the first few times, I gave them a price and...

Let me guess, he always negotiates the price when you give him a quote as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you guys laminate solvent prints going on temp items like yard signs that are only for short term, temporary jobs? Seems like a waste to me. The outdoor life is rated usually for 2-3 years without lam and a yard sign life is 6 months at best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree that you should check out the Epson s80600 but also look at the cjv300. I have one and am running it CMYKLcLm and white but I don't use the white all that often right now so I am going to change the system to CMYKLkOrW and maybe silver or keep the dual white carts. I don't know if I want...

That software is probably the best design/editing software available but I was never able to get it to work with my printers either so I do my work in it and then export everything as PDF and then use flexi for cutting/setting up contours or illustrator for pms color setup. I really wish they...

That's why I love vector magic. Have a vector in 10 seconds and then tweak the nodes as needed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn't able to get it straight on either. Only saw it on a brochure for the boat and could tell it was reflective. I think the pic you posted was as good as it will get but it's and easy vector and then cut it out of chrome vinyl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem with that material, while it prints beautifully, it can have the edges damaged easily when retracting the banner if you aren't careful to make sure it's centered.

I saw a photo of a boat for sale that had this on it. It was chrome. You should be able to vectorize this as it is and cut it. Here is a pic of the boat that I was able to find that distracted me from finding the font. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That line is so defined and follows the green as well so I believe it's the file. I had a file similar on a banner that looked fine and everything was well until I printed it. I assume it's a PDF. I would resave that file as a jpg and let Onyx rip that and see what happens. It has something to...
