  1. Need Help wavy printing like a mountain range

    Looks like plasticizer migration, but if it happens on different brands of material, it may not be. Interesting.
  2. Optically Clear Back Mounting Film

    Can't you cut the roll down?
  3. MACTAC Be Free Clear on Latex

    Yes, on the 560/570. It replaces the feed roller underneath and supposedly wipes any contaminants off of your vinyl or banner. It's noisy. And it apparently works! I ran the job with it on and my color was nice and solid.
  4. MACTAC Be Free Clear on Latex

    Anyone have issues with this stuff on their HP Latex? I tried printing a job that is a solid color blue basically and it looks like crap....ink is blotchy. I'm about to reload and put in the Wiper Roller, looks like the vinyl is not perfectly clean. Wondering if others have to use the wiper...
  5. helicopter email... ...for a banner?

    I can tell you right now, 4' tall isn't big enough for anything. That will look like a party streamer at 1000 ft. Check this site out for info: Banner Towing : Sky Banners : Aerial Advertising : Flying Banners : Airplane Banners : FlySigns.com '
  6. Suggestions Printable material for industrial equipment labels?

    Any cast vinyl, without air release (not needed), and laminate with 5 or 10 mil Polycarbonate laminate. This lam will add the "heft", giving a super resilient protective layer.
  7. What is this vinyl?

    It's the same mentality behind the customer that calls wanting a price for a sign, you give it to them, and they tell you "my guy does it for half that price." THEN WHY ARE YOU FREAKING CALLING ME?!!!
  8. Sign Warehouse Q54 more expensive than 54" Graphtec...... how?

    We have the Q54 and it most definitely has ARMS.
  9. What is this vinyl?

    That first pic looks like diffuser vinyl....too opaque to be etch.
  10. Difficult Customers

    You kidding? This is a daily thing for sign companies.
  11. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    Ha...ok. I'm not telling you what to charge. But it kinda goes with TimToad's point regarding some shops cut-rate pricing affecting the industry as a whole. You and I are in the same market....if someone calls your shop and then ours for a 4'x8' banner, there is a major gap between our prices...
  12. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    $126 FOR 4 X 8???? We're more than double that. If you're not $8/ft on your banners over 20 sf you're losing money.
  13. HP 5500ps converted to latex ink,, what's it worth??

    I'm calling BS. No way that can run Latex. Would need new everything, including curing module, retrofitted ink cartridge setup, waste collector, and on and on. Would cost as much as a new printer.
  14. Suggestions Wondering if you would..............................

    Looks like only a little bit of blue stripe hits the rear handles, that's not an issue
  15. Question Corner Hole Template

    Not the same, but a good tool.
  16. This has to be one of our members.

    But living with your parents and not doing jack-sh*t isn't. If he had a job, paid them for rent or at the very least helped with food and utilities, I see no problem. He's a lazy punk and they enabled him 12-15 years too long.
  17. Custom License Plate Frames???

    Too bad there isn't some sort of search engine or something on the internet where you could type in 'Custom License Plate frames' and then it gives links to websites of companies that sell said objects. I should come up with something like that. Maybe call it "Google" or some catchy name.
  18. Need Help Color Trapping with Flexi

    I have always found it to work well. You can only do two different colored objects at a time. And you have to make sure all pieces of one color are combined objects....sometimes only having object grouped can give you problems. EDIT: Take that back...just tried with 4 different colors and...
  19. Removing used Liner from take up roll

    I just chunk the tube with the liner on it. We go through so many rolls there's always enough tubes.
  20. Suggestions Your Opinion - HP Latex 115 Print & Cut vs Separates

    This is all correct...it is pretty much full version of Flexi. And with this setup, cutting is WAY easier and pretty much automated. Your prints will have a barcode printed with each batch of decals that the plotter reads and cuts, more precise than any I have seen. You can have a full roll of...
