swissQ is currently my dream flatbed/hybrid. +1 to discussing color concerns with sales, they'll be certain to impress ...especially at that pricetag.

pics?

i like the idea of combining it with signage as well, in the form of projection mapping, instead of sweating running power to EVERYTHING you want illuminated or stuffing wiring into thinner&thinner sign profiles. i'd imagine the outdoor issue being moisture and thermal fluctuations, but those...

crap you guys are right, forgot i've always sheet laminated for car windows for that very reason and griped about inability to wetapply.

either: the ink that was printed into the holes could have transferred onto the sheet lamination. or you sheet laminated with a matte overlam or you wet applied and the moisture is trapped in the holes either way, if you sheet lam perf with intent to view through it, you should either sheet lam...

its a trap! dude shows up to your shop for the graphics, doesn't pay the bill, and then magically produces a receipt of sorts that validates his tenant claims & squatter's rights ensue.

i'd plan my tile line to be at one of those horizontal seams, and you'll never notice it. ...and also pre-removing those hazard lights, so I don't have to work around them. if they're caulked-on, then just rip it off and cleanup best you can, and then caulk them back on

not a fan of sending live text to production. so many instances in the past of fonts/kerning/etc changing ever-so-slightly between design & cutting. just create outlines and send it however you like.

projector would be tough, as you would need a fairly tall boom and a really bright projector to make that work. +1 to tiling it into a grid. pretty easy to mark a center and run a 25ft string from the center and mark the perimeter of the circle, and then grid that out to whatever sized tiles...

that's a bummer. I definitely never once assumed they went under from lack of quality work. Wish our shop & flow was big enough to simply absorb all the employees looking for a new home, because you guys had a lot of talented staff.

the fast signs in my area still has a 1star review from a semitruck driver that once rated me for not having my delivery doors open until 8am but I got it deleted via reporting irrelevance. ...totally gives me SouthPark Yelp Reviewer vibes.

oh? i only see the option to delete my own reviews or delete my responses. currently can only report reviews or reply to them.

i'd go with versatility and get a printer with white/silver or at the very least an expanded gamut beyond lmlc inks

i've noticed that long plots tend to drift out of square between long back&forths/tugging on the roll/crumpling/etc allowing slight shifts/slips of paper through the pinchrollers that add up to failure. ....but my remedy was simply to convert the paths to dashed-lines and simply run a sequence...

saw the swissQ in action last year at ISA. super cool but a helluvah footpr$nt really hope 2.5D keeps developing, cause textures really make things POP!

yeah, luckily we use vehicle wrap vinyl even for these "easy flat-panel" jobs. vinyl is still contoured to the brushlines now nearly a year later. i still remember my gfx guy complaining while he was postheating that it smelled like he washed his shirt in a sharpee marker.

double check your magenta cartridge as well, sometimes it says 20mL remaining on the screen but when you pull out the cart it feels bone-dry.

i think google review only lets you post pics on an original review, unless i just didn't see the option to insert my own image in the response. leaving out the gfx&business name cause I don't wanna out some guy on the internet that's already going to jail for ~10yrs and still has two months...

+1 to solventinkjet's reply. its almost like speaking to a child that absorbs EVERYTHING. my process for this one was: "can you write a professional response to a bad google review for me, if I give you important context?" "here's the review" "here's the context" "can you write it again but...

Having a laminator if you're a printshop is pretty standard, that $4k pays for itself pretty quick in manual labor alone. if you're not ready to take the plunge into new equipment, i'm certain any sign shop in your area would do it for you for minimal expense. I can laminate a 50yd roll in...
