Some vinyls print better or worse with certain printers. Try printing the same file on another manufacturer's material. Most suppliers can get you sample rolls to test different products with your printer. For some reason MacTac looks the best/smoothest on our Mimakis here, but we primarily...

Pneumatic post hole driver. They are ran by a (large) portable air compressor/trailer. Your local tool rental store should have them both available. It should take about 5 minutes per pole once you get it figured out. Still be sure to "Call before you dig" when carrying out this job, you never...

Sihl has some interesting materials, but I know nothing about how they print on latex. Possibly their wet strength poster paper 3196? or their 3629 polypropylene film?

possibly a no-curl banner material? or a flag type of material?

Sounds like the paint is off-gassing, I bet the trailer was just painted the day before you got it. The attachment shows what happens when you put vinyl on the day after painting a truck. Post pics of the problem!

Well it certainly prints like crap on Mimaki JV3 printers.

actual printing experience.

Do you have the material placement setting to "Conserve Media" instead of "print jobs separately"?

looks great, kind of looks like a bird in flight.

with laminate and a laminator of course.

yes, it is possible - they did them here for years with our edge before they bought the solvent printers. I would recommend using 3m 180c (fellers sells 15" punched) if you go this route, however I would also recommend subbing this job out.

Wraps are graphics that are using advanced "comply" materials that confirm to the curvature of the object. A tailgate wrap is a wrap as it wraps the entire tailgate. Large print/cut graphics on a tailgate are not wraps. Attached is a (bad) photo of a tailgate wrap.

phototex.

Just get a rubber stamp.

the ink issue: you should be laminating your prints. the cut marks issue: you are loading the material crooked, find an easy way to verify it is loaded straight.

I would like to recommend a very close friend's business for this service: gorillabackups.com He has been a data recovery specialist and computer forensics investigator for MANY years, and started his own off-sitebackup program a few years back. Sure, you can get cheaper, but if you ever need...

X2 on Jill's answer.

Balls to the walls here too. We've added more installers this past week, and we're still booking 2-3 weeks out! The "new jobs" stack is buried under and proofs are like 1 week lead time... Every machine seems to be running all day every day (and night!).

Bought a couple Edges this year. Nothing last year.
