A "potential customer" who owns a construction company walked in a few minutes ago. Says he has a friend with a large format printer who makes signs and wraps. He just lives down the road and needs some yard sign blanks (for his buddy to put prints on) and wants to know where we buy them...

X2 on knifeless tape for the hood. The wheel decal looks like a dark silver-metallic cut vinyl. The grill is also wrapped with the matte black wrapping vinyl.

yeah, I thought my earlier post said that. lots of extra posts in this thread.

if you are trying to upload a JPEG and it is CMYK, that will not work. I have had that trouble before. Otherwise, I think you need one of those lil blue pills. I have NOT had that trouble before.

I cannot see a picture, but I assume that it is an Edge print on an unknown gold vinyl from your description. You're gonna probably need a decent photo to determine the material accurately as a lot of them are very similar.

Post a picture of the stall you're wanting to wrap. I have a printer and am local.

it is not as bad as the sprinters and it is a single indent, not a "V". No primer necessary; maybe .75" depth.

Brands of the world has a lot of similar that I think you could make work.

It sounds like you have it running through a router? I would suggest a direct connection from the computer to the machine. (I think the one I used to run had a cross-over cable?) There might also be a certain brand of network card that is recommended for use with Roland printers? I know our...

Shouldn't you let the paint cure more than 24 minutes before installing the hardware and banner? Don't get me wrong, this looks like a great system/product for us to be able to sell, but don't tell me that from when you drove the truck onto the parking lot till when it left was 24 minutes.

Is it also the end of the line for Gerber as far as machine development?

Make sure that they sent you the correct material, there are different versions of Phototex out now, and some of them are not solvent printable. There should be a letter code in the product identifier. (EXS should mean solvent printable) http://www.phototexgroup.com/sizes/ I might not have...

I would still recommend getting those screws replaced asap! Great work so far getting it fixed yourself.

Yes, bridge and roll in, the thin 3M rollers (expensive) and geek wrap squeegees are good for these smaller recesses. It may lift back up later in the horizontal groove, can't really guarantee it not to on that small of a recess, but it should stay down fine on the "super duty" lettering area...

Put the panels vertical. Your RIP should show you which material will work best for you based upon the overall vehicle length. (48" material versus 54") Be careful on the hood layout, Those hood vents are a lot lower than you think, we almost had to reprint the hood panel on a transit wrap last...

If the pumps aren't working or there is a clog in the line going from the caps to the pump you can get this problem. I would take off the capping station/pump parts and clean all the caps, lines, etc well. I would bet that it is NOT a bad head.

Put guides in illustrator. 1" overlap. (so one at 47.5 & one at 48.5") Put a rectangle in and use it as clipping masks to make 2 or 4 separate art files to send to your print vendor. Personally, when we print other peoples' artwork here, I request they leave it alone and I use my RIP software...

We go through about a roll each or both 48" and 54" 180c here daily and about a roll per week of the 180cv3, but we only use it in 36" widths for a certain customer. Never had that kind of trouble that I can recall.

Not ALL of these links are still good, but I think that you are still able to download the manuals you will need to carry out the head alignment procedures. I pay a tech to align our heads here when they are replaced, I just don't have that kind of patience...

I've done them as soon as same day per the customer demand, however I try to inform customers that 1 week is a good minimum. I have had no problems when waiting a week, but I HAVE had problems with next-day installs outgassing and ruining the vinyls.
