  1. does everyone generally laminate perfed window graphics?

    yes but then you wont be able to see out the windows?
  2. does everyone generally laminate perfed window graphics?

    In this case the whole idea of what they want seems wasteful. There unit is the second last down the side of an industrial complex and there is the backwall of a storage facility directly in front of the windows. basically you will only see it when you park to go in. the graphic we designed...
  3. any Sign guys from London England?

    Anybody here from London England and close to Stanmore? I have a small vinyl lettering job job that needs to be installed on a store front window. anybody?
  4. does everyone generally laminate perfed window graphics?

    I am pretty sure most of the stuff I see out there is not laminated. Optically clear lam is so expensive it just drives the cost beyond where customers are willing to pay for it. do you think it will last 2-3 years with eco sol ink (Mimaki)? I am pretty sure it will, but curious as to how...
  5. why when you use 54" does the printer say 52.5"

  6. My printer sometimes reads the media smaller

    I believe the reader will have an issue if you dont have enough material pulled through. So for instance on mine you pull until you get that clicking sound and then lock the rollers down. Sometimes it is not far enough through and when the head goes to look for the edges it will have trouble...
  7. why when you use 54" does the printer say 52.5"

    I guess I understand that it takes an inch or 2 off the real reading to make sure that it can print in the given area. I would just like to have more control over it in certain cases
  8. die sub metal plates seem to be able to have the image wiped off?

    I ran a few thousand die sub metal plates for a car parts mfg'er a while back and they caledl to say the black graphics are completely coming off due to the degreasing chemicals they use to clean the grease off the cages. I have no idea how die sub works but it seems that if that wont...
  9. why when you use 54" does the printer say 52.5"

    This is a Mimaki question in the Mimaki section of the forum so why does anyone assume I have a Roland?
  10. why when you use 54" does the printer say 52.5"

    I have a Mimaki and pinch rollers go end to end...
  11. why when you use 54" does the printer say 52.5"

    I have never been able to figure this out. If you put 24" material in it reads both edges and says 22.5" 54" is 52.5" I am asking as I bought a roll of perf at 39" and now it says 37.8" and my graphic is 37.25" should I instruct the printer to start 0" from the edge? why does it do this...
  12. 1/4pvc tough to cut using hevay duty Olfa!!

    I am having far to much trouble cutting 1/4" pvc with a heavy duty Olfa. I guess I should mention that the digital graphics are applied with a keyline that I cut off. I can't put it in the panel saw as it will damage the graphics and the Fletcher sucks at cutting pvc. It seems the blades go...

  14. perferated vinyl and getting a brighter look to it

    Just wondering if a double hit would make perfed vinyl look better or brighter than the typical dull look it has with a single pass?

  17. wow this must bring in all sorts of business...not!!!

    I wish I had my phone ready for when I got up beside him, every line was crooked and the spacing was rediculous. There is a picture on it of a guy with some form of steam cleaner which was obviously stolen off the web with horrible resolution. Just awful. I cant think it can bring any business...

  19. is there a simple way to get files properly?

    well I was printing the job and it was all wrong.... so one might say that Flexi has not kept up with illustrator but I say dumb it down if your a designer so everyone can use it. It is simple to do and if your job is to set up a banner for print or cut, for heavens sake do it right and quit...
