It is an xrite... And it auto uploads the ICC to onyx. But when I go into media management... I can't edit the ICC, everything is greyed out. The only thing I can do is have it build an HP spot color table. I presumed it's because it's generated by the printer... but this is the first time...

I love getting customer supplied files with CMYK values instead of pantones. Most of the time it looks pretty close... But theres always that rare occasion where it comes out slightly purple... so you go and check the pantone... find a CMYK value, then have no idea if it's what they want or not...

Just wondering... how do you guys find HP's built in spectrometer? For the most part it seems pretty good. I can't get a good grey via profiles for the life of me though - It always comes out purple. On our solvent, hand making a profile and changing the starting black generation gave us...

We've done dozens of wraps. All laminated same day. overlam. definately doesn't stick as well as with our solvent... It scared us a lot on our first wrap. We did a few police cars...then our installer messed up and was yanking the 680 off, and off came all the overlam. We thought for sure we'd...

That's your cyan/black head. Doesn't look like a simple head rub... You have the whole printhead touching there. Are you using really cheap non latex material? It looks like the material is bunching up and causing it to touch the head. It's a little weird how it's like a perfect imprint...

I'm not going to argue against not connecting it to a network is best practice. Especially if you don't know what your doing. A simple mistake can cause you to be down until you pay someone to come get you up. For us... We backup daily, and our machines get ghosted weekly. We can be back to...

Tell your printer it's 180.. And rip it using the 180 profile. The whites are close enough that it shouldn't make MUCH of a difference. Then you rule out the Avery being bad. I find most Grey's look like crap using the 560's interal profiler. It's good they included it as it makes it more...

Then how will the printer browse S101 for tips and tricks all day while printing?! Ours is connected to the network. Has been for 20 years. Only issue I ever ran into was updating Adobe illustrator.before cutting master was upgraded to work with it. Spent 30 mins rolling the install back...

Ij680 for 3m Nikkalite r8512GI for Nikkalite.

for 10+ we charge $110 for double sided, reflective lawn signs... then for the frames we charge $60 (we make them in house). So about $170 per reflective... Probably knock $10 off for non reflective. I don't think $220-230 is too much. We'd do them for cheaper, sure... but we do hundreds...

Have you tried their air egress version? I'll be ordering a roll soon. I love nikalite... The one caveat with them is none of their products seem to be removable. It's so thin that it rips anytime we try to lift it to reposition it.. I can't imagine trying to remove a whole vehicle wrapped in...

You don't need to edge seal it... There are reflective beads in it, and cutting into them causes you to lose some refectivity on the edges unless you cut it with a hot knife that'll seal the beads in, but when using a drag knife there is no need. We have 3M come in every year and watch / test...

For cutting easily... Use 3m 3290. It's thin like regular vinyl. Not as bright as 3930... But it all depends on your application. Real estate signs and stuff we print on 3290 and have zero problems. 3430 - 3290 - 3930 - 4080. All are white 3M vinyla in terms of pricing / reflectivity. We use...

We did a bunch of huge semi tow trucks with yellow DG. The cuts were like 11ft... With black vinyl shadow on-top. Once the file came up to me.. I told them no, not even going to try can't track more than a few ft accurately. They panicked because they upsold the tow Truck on dg... A fleet of...

Reflective is harder than sand stencil. you need a special blade.. The beads dull regular blades pretty quick. I don't know if the gerber could cut it, You need a pretty strong cut force to get through the top layer. We cut it fine... Our issue is usually getting it to cut even and consistent...

I've never done it in Flexi.. but it is possible with your package. You're looking to kiss cut the stickers, and perf cut them into sheets. I believe the summas call that flexcut. https://signs101.com/threads/contour-cut-then-die-perf-kiss-cut-with-summa-s120t.147012/ HP's cutters are...

Did you make these yourself, or are you swapping paid for ones?...

Because of the top it's always going to look crooked to the naked eye.. So it's a hard one. To get to level I'd use the bottom frame and measure from there. But you can bet the client will look at the distance of text from the top on both sides and say it looks crooked. And then take a level...

Without knowing what you use... Have you tried using heat to apply them? And I believe frank mistyped... He means cast, not calandered.

The way he talks to you, and saying he doesn't have time to answer simple questions is a red flag, if true. I'm not saying it's not true... Just I wasn't on the conversation, maybe your paraphrasing, or misunderstanding. If not... That company wouldn't earn a dime from me though. We had an...
