  1. SP-540V Printing Issues

    I unplugged the lines and siphoned some through manually with a syringe. The yellow/magenta appeared to be clogged at first but is flowing good towards the waste now. I just did a medium cleaning & am now printing a large swatch of only magenta. The magenta line leading to the head is now...
  2. SP-540V Printing Issues

    Here is a test print (again, I apologize about the fuzziness!) The black looks a little funny and "oversprays" around some of the lines, but I have seen worse.... The Yellow and Cyan both are the exact same color on the sheet, but it looks like all nozzles are firing correctly. Where do I...
  3. SP-540V Printing Issues

    The Yellow/Magenta Capping Station(?Is this what it's called?) doesn't appear to be draining like the Cyan/Black one does. How do I check that out? I know my photos suck, they're the best this Verizon phone can do.
  4. SP-540V Printing Issues

    A buddy is having troubles with his Roland, the lines look cross-contaminated to me, as both look the same color of yellow-orange. The test prints are showing major issues also. The customer just recently had two different techs out to do service on the machine a month ago. One put in new...
  5. cutting small objects with plotter

    How Big? It could be printed on clear; that's what I would do. The slower the speed and sharper the blade, the better cutting it will do. However, a job like this would NEVER work out on our large format cutter, I would only be able to possibly get away with it on our smaller 15" plotter as...
  6. 4 color cut vinyl sign (video)

    I forgot how much cut vinyl sucks until I saw that... I would have just outsourced the printing if my printer was broken. Nice work.
  7. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    edit: I finally got it uploaded... Also, I found the fonts: VolvoBroadPro VolvoSansPro
  8. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    It is shown as a proprietary Volvo font in the PDF files. Here is one converted to outlines with part of what you need. I downloaded the file from the site, placed it in another illustrator file, then flattened the transparency (convert all fonts to outlines) of the placed artwork to get the...
  9. logo color research

    Green and orange looks like Quizno's logo to me. I know it's been done to death for the chiro industry, but I'd suggest the dark blue with a lighter blue to accompany it.
  10. Tool Holder

    Many standard tool pouches that you can buy at standard stores like Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, etc will work great for graphics installation purposes. Now I have to find one with a metal area on it to hold the magnets, lol. Edit: It looks like Fellers sells just what I am looking for.
  11. Which Laminator to get??

    I have a GFP 455TH and I LOVE IT. I had a cheapo before and the difference is night and day.
  12. Sick to death of Ferrari's BS

    Sihl has a few new materials out that we haven't tried yet, but the samples look interesting.
  13. Concrete graphics.

    We've used the mactac stuff, works great for what you're describing. There are many options for non-skid floor laminates out there, I think we used mactac for that also.
  14. FC8000, CM3, Mark Scan Errors...

    Read down (now above), they got me straightened out. Ours could read the marks, I was just telling it the wrong way to look for them, lol. The first tech I talked to said it needed sent to them for repair ($$$$$), then another tech called 1/2 hour later from another location and knew as soon...
  15. Outdoor rated, inexpensive engine turn gold "vinyl"

    I like Leo's Gold Lion products, they seem to hold up well long-term on firetrucks as long as they are laminated with 1/8" over-extended lamination around the graphics. Everything else (like VinylEFX) is cheap but hold up decent on flat surfaces (again laminated), but don't hold up for poo on...
  16. Invisible window cling

    Reverse cut the vinyl and install it on the inside of the window. if it's a serious business, there's no reason to go with static cling.
  17. Edge Sealing a Wrap :: Question

    yes, but that will not help it stick to what is under it.
  18. Edge Sealing a Wrap :: Question

    Trim it back now, or expect failure soon. Possibly, you could peel it back, throw on some primer94, then put it back down and heat the crap out of it. And even then it might only hold for a little while.
  19. Conspicuity Tape

    It's a gray area as far as other fire apparatus like cars, pickups, quads, golf carts, sideXsides, etc. We are doing a lot of different things for a lot of different departments. Most are chevron-ing the rear tailgates of their pickup trucks, SUVs and cars. Many police departments and wheelchair...
  20. Vector Logo Locating

    There is(was) a way around editing password protected PDFs, but it has been a while since I encountered one... it involved placing the PDF into another program (like illustrator or Indesign), then exporting a new PDF...
