  1. Gold Leaf Help

    Yup, spinning way too soon, and it looks like you didn't let the size dry long enough. As mentioned, purchase real velvet and stuff with cotton. I'll sometimes wait until the next day to spin the gold.
  2. Russian dash cams

    Some of those accidents were so arbitrary - a pedestrian just standing in the road. Most of the trucks were just stupid driving, like turning left from the right lane with no signals. Nothing like seeing a careening tanker coming at you sideways!
  3. Another Mutoh Profile question... faded & washed out prints

    If Bob's suggestion doesn't work, try a double strike - lay down two layers per pass and see what you get. Takes a little longer and uses more ink, but sometimes it'll get you by..
  4. Printing on DG3 ?

    Been doing more fire/rescue vehicles lately with the wonderful chevrons on the rear. I've got a customer that is requesting the stuff in all one piece rather than individual strips and I didn't think that was doable in the lime yellow/red combination. He sent me a link to a company that offers...
  5. Mutoh VJ 1304 - Not Printing -- Any Help from the wise?

    Can't say for sure as I've never seen that particular printer being referenced as using the same head as the Mutoh, regardless of being Epson. My guess is that there are some subtle differences within the head that won't allow the transplant. Can you reference where you saw you can use that...
  6. For one of the Disney resort stores.

    Very cool, especially since the initial drawing you were sent left lots to the imagination.
  7. Lighting effect for graphic

    EL tubing: http://autolumination.com/lightbright.html Lots of manufacturers out there.
  8. Fluroescent Chrome Vinyl

    Sometimes you learn the hard way. Chrome vinyls are the worst for exterior use, I've never heard of any that have a 5 year warranty that actually held up. If it was a mylar base, 2 years is about their limit on a vertical surface; horizontal (and windshields would be considered that) less than...
  9. Fur and velvet wraps?

    No accounting for taste. It's from a company in Texas: http://www.velvet-cars.com/contact-us On the plus side, if someone wanted to flock the inside of a gun cabinet or something like that, this would be the stuff to do it with.
  10. Chemical Polishing

    @Khai; that's weird. It was one of the first links in a Google search for "PETG chemical polishing". There are others, all .pdf's that won't link.
  11. Chemical Polishing

    Pretty much. You'll need a solvent that basically melts the plastic. Certainly not the easy way to do it and not the quickest, nor does it afford the crystal clear properties of a flame polish. Some good reading here - see page 3: www.eastman.com/Literature_Center/Misc/EdgePolishIAPDNov07.pdf‎
  12. Any ideas.............??

    Looks like an older style halo collar to me...
  13. VJ1204 Strange hairline banding *detailed description & pics*

    I've just started experiencing the same issue, with the added issue of a dropout about 14" from the home rest. The rest of the print is fine, save for those fine lines. I do have some clogged nozzles on the black, but that shouldn't impact the rest of the colors as it does. I talked with my...
  14. Strange ink dropout

    Hello all, Encountering a strange ink dropout recently. On this particular print it's very noticeable; the print has a solid block of color at the bottom with the text reversed and the same at the top. Center text is the block color. The blocks are printing fine; when the head gets to the center...
  15. CDL Truck or not?

    Oh, I never said it wasn't the law, I simply stated they were bullsh*t rules randomly enforced. I never said I couldn't find it, either. RV's are exempt at the moment... their time is coming in PA, along with all other privately held vehicles that are 10K pounds plus. Count on it. Harrisburg is...
  16. CDL Truck or not?

    PennDot has bullsh*t rules and it seems to change depending on who wants to enforce them. Local townships clean up on the F350 and 450 work trucks hauling mowing equipment if they don't have a DOT number on the side of the truck. I've always been told it's 10,000 pounds single or combined from...
  17. How can I get this 3m diamond grade vinyl to stay down?!!

    Yep, been wrestling with the same thing on some fire support vehicles. Finally convinced them that it isn't going to work - period. DG3 is meant for flat surfaces only. Slight curves, ok, but only in one direction. Body lines and wrapping a tailgate, never. Either figure out a simpler install...
  18. material advance before job starts cutting

    I'm using CoCut out of Corel. Can't find anything related to 'prefeed'. There might be something with 'sort before output' so I'll have to investigate that.
  19. material advance before job starts cutting

    I know I had it before, but with a computer reset and clean out it seems my settings have been changed. A Summa T750 - when I send a job to plot, the machine will roll off as much material as it thinks it needs before actually cutting the job, i.e. if the plot length is 8', the machine will roll...
  20. Would you sue?

    Unless the artwork is something special, you will have a hard time enforcing it. Just perusing your website, one of your firearm stickers is a simple block white copy on black. Anyone could come up with that. And I've seen multiple versions of some of your zombie hunting licenses here on the...
