  1. Question Should I Dare Ask?

    Comparing it to the xeno sample forums... Can I stack year extensions? I can get 5-7 replies, depending on how big they are. [edit] And dont get me wrong, their forums are very plain.. not saying signs101 should be like that. Just pointing out why it feels like its made for the visually...
  2. Question Should I Dare Ask?

    I think because of all the blocks on the left, it makes everything huge. a 1 line reply takes up as much space as a 30 line reply. I can get 2 posts per screen, in 1920x1080 resolution. It's never really "bugged" me, but it does seem pretty low.
  3. Reversing Sensors

    Careful. The way the sensors work is ultrasonic sounds. Some dirt can prevent them from working properly, maybe they will work with vinyl, but who knows if vinyl + dirt will block them out completely. If you do decide to cover them, at the very least put it in the contract that its not...
  4. Question Wall Vinyl Help.

    You don't NEED laminate, but why not? Yes, it'll increase install price... but it'll also increase longevity by a lot. This is a church...there will be tons of people, and kids, getting their grimy fingers all over the pretty picture. All it takes is 1 cleaner to use the wrong cleaning...
  5. Need Help Need To Match Truck Color To Cmyk

    How often do you match colors? Nix Pro Color Sensor - - Amazon.com $350. Kind of expensive... But worth it if you plan on matching a lot. It'll tell you closest vinyl match, CMYK values (unless your printer is profiled 100%, CMYK values will only get you close.. you can use them values to...
  6. Reversing Sensors

    I'd remove the sensors if possible. I'm not sure how factory installed ones are.. but I put some into my truck, and it was just a bolt on the back to hold it in. Remove them, wrap it, put them back in. If you cover them, they won't work anymore. And last thing you want is for the customer to...
  7. Quotes Needed On Small Cut Vinyl

    I just did a cut on 7930 series. On a graphtec. A thick vinyl... Just to see if it'd cut. There's a little issue with offset... Which h lead me to realize someone has it setup to use the wrong tool on this settingnever been an issue before... But I guess since it's so small it is. Circles are...
  8. Uv Printing On Reflective

    HP fb500.
  9. New HP Latex Printer Model

    Got to love Grimco ;) I'm putting my order in today and paying for it Tomorrow. Finally buying my own printer.. (I work for a company and do all the wide format printing). This machine seems like the best option for Small operations / starting businesses...cant beat the price, and with Latex...
  10. Uv Printing On Reflective

    We print a lot of real estate signs. It all depends on the material... 3M 3290 we've never had a problem. DG.. no problem (Though its rare). 3M 7930... That thing clogs up our printheads pretty good. Usually a cleaning or two fixes it, but why waste so much ink, to print 1-2 signs. We just use...
  11. Selling Rolls Of Vinyl To Customers

    I don't see why someone who does vinyl crafts needs full rolls of vinyl. If anything, sell it to them by the sqft... and double what you pay. Your customers could also be trying to figure out how much you pay for vinyl, so they can see how "inflated" your prices are.
  12. Odd Color Shift On Hp 360

    I'd bet more it's onyx, and not the printers. HP came with a free copy of a different rip, did it not? I'd install that and try. I know our older onyx version gives us a ton of issues, so if yours isn't the newest I'd consider that. You could also try to rasterize the file and print it that way.
  13. Everyone's Invited

    Our PM kicked his ass at his own handshake though. Never mess with a Canadian :Canada 2:
  14. Everyone's Invited

    I try to identify as neither. No party is right 100℅ of the time. ;P though if I were a Republican, I'd probably try to distance myself from Trump... (I know a lot of you guys support him... But some things are just insane... ) Has signs101 ever actually had a real meetup? Or does going to a...
  15. Problem Perhaps A Problem................................

    Just wanted to post it was happening to me too. I have an adblocker, but have the site whitelisted (And I do see the ads). I find the ads actually relevant, and click on them quite a bit. so I had the site whitelisted. The popup was pretty annoying though, so I added a rule that blocks the...
  16. News We're Back Online With Our New Design!

    Off topic , I know... Sorry. I felt the same way as the above people. But I opened a ticket, and both of you replied to it. I didn't get banned, and the end of the day... It's your forum to run. You'll either make it better and gain more people, or make it worst and lose some. Either way...
  17. Best Printer For Indoor Vinyl

    Yeah, something definitely looks wrong with your printer. It looks almost as if your printing on media thats already rugged (never used IJ36, but I'm presuming from my search its not). Have you spoke to the dealer about taking it back? A lot of times they won't... and you dont want to be out...
  18. Best Printer For Indoor Vinyl

    Your printer should give you the quality your looking for. I know it's frustrating, but I wouldn't give up just yet. Roland make some of the best printers, it should look way better than that. Problem is finding out why is not. Can you send one of the files your printing to me, so I can look...
  19. Best Printer For Indoor Vinyl

    Do you have any other material you can test on, just to rule out the printer not liking that material? The good news is your prints should not look like that. Now we just need to figure out why they do - What is your tech guy saying about it? If he's been there 12 hours, he obviously doesn't...
  20. Best Printer For Indoor Vinyl

    Have any pictures? Solvent and latex are both "grainy", its the way they print. But it also depends on the material you are using. What material are you using? The cheaper material doesn't soak up ink that good. I know IJ35 looks like crap compared to 180. how bad does it look? Can't...
