that red looks kinda pink..

image sorry, forgot the image this image sucks, I think the general blue and red colors shown are ghosts because they are undetectable here in the shop, I think it is just a phone camera thing.

Came in this morning to find the print I had going last night mangled and the carriage separated. I restarted the printer, did a manual clean, ran a cleaning cycle, did a print test and got the Attached result. I ran a medium clean and it came out the same. this is my first major malfunction...

what is this?

MOTHER #@*&^$!!!! I just printed and laminated 100ft of the same (@*&#^ that we printed yesterday! I thought it was the new files because it wasnt RIP'ed yet. Apparently the other guy changed the file after it was printed which took away its RIP'ed status and threw me off... Looks like Im here...

...Part-timers... Currently printing my 3rd roll of wrap material in 3 days, I have to wrap over the weekend to be ready to start printing the next wrap on monday...making money sucks... wait these are all free wraps... SUN ON THE BEACH!

I have an independent substrate supplier (super nice guy which is why i still buy stuff from him even though hes not the cheapest) that sells aluminum composite panels out of his beat up old suv and he's always got a biblical reference baseball cap on, some kind of Jesus shirt, a fisher of men...

We have not been using the primer. We were a little put off by the idea when it was first brought up to us since we were already paying a premium for the vinyl, we didn't understand why we had to buy an adhesive promoter and spend the extra time painting it on. I've got 2 cans in the shop...

I am not trying to disrespect anyone who has been burned by Avery. I have only been in the biz for 3 years and wrapping for 1.5. Everything I have learned about the business I have either learned from this site, or by trial and error so I appreciate the input. I had asked my supplier about...

when designing an icon or logo with mass appeal, I dont think that relying on the basics of form, proportion and focus will come to a close.

I presume then that you use 180, and have no problems with lifting? Is there something we might be missing that you could expand on, or are you just enjoying your laugh?

i thought it seemed like a rather vague guarantee, but If i get it in writing...

the price savings is substantial, and we have been having some problems with the 3M 180 lifting in channels. Our supplier said that if we use the avery 1005EZ and the DOL 1460 overlam, avery guarantees it to not lift in channels.

I'm thinking of making the switch from 3M IJ180 to Avery 1005EZ RS. Has anyone used both of these and have an opinion on whether or not to switch?

I'd be most worried about support should something go wrong.

It probably was cling on both sides, the problem is if you do a full coverage print on cling, it covers the clingy substrate with ink, and it no longer works as well. If you want it to cling to the printed side, you are better off leaving a .5-1" border around the edge. Also as mentioned before...

For logos, I figure if you cant make it work in black and white, it doesnt work.

the two vinyls i named earlier are only about .30 a square unlaminated, and are meant for short term wraps.
