  3. To Laminate or not-window perf continued

    Desert, do you laminate the wrap film that goes on the paint? I'm not sure on the lam or no lam for windows we lam ours but almost all of our vehicle wraps are commercial vehicles - vans & high cubes so there is not much of an issue seeing through the perf'd windows. I try to talk my...
  4. To Laminate or not-window perf

    You should definitely wrap that knee with lam, I'd use calendered, the extra 2mils of thickness will add support. wayne k guam usa
  5. Stripping old banners

    I agree with Marlene and Fresh. Banners are throw away signage for the most part. As far as digital vs cut vinyl - both look about the same in the dumpster at the end of a promotion. wayne k guam usa

    For those that remove them before installing the material: How do avoid twisting the vinyl under the head of the screw when you re-seat them? wayne k guam usa

  8. Problems with print quality

    I'm not totally sold on it being the encoder. Usually it is terminal error as the head looses it's place it does not get back on track & the printer shuts down without finishing the print. Maybe the 1624 has some self correcting built in that pulls it back on line but who knows, mine is a...
  9. How to be a Successful Sign Shop

    What if you take them fishing once a month instead? wayne k guam usa
  10. Problems with print quality

    Can you post up a cropped section of the jpg that shows the issue? It looks almost like the kind of glitch I get when the encoder strip is dirty, but mine runs all the way across scan width. Do the outer edges of the black background show a similar defect in line with the problems on the...
  11. How to reset lifetime VJ1604

    With the printer off hold down the left "<" right ">" and forward "-" keys all at once then hit the power button to start up in Maintenance mode 2 Go down to the second option, the initialize counter. Then down to number 11, the pump The enter key should zero it out (I think). Restart the...

  13. So Just how fast IS your Plotter...Really!

    If you can go with your plotter back in time can you go back to when Old Paint was making $600 hand painting a set of doors with a quart of muddy 1-Shot and a dirty Q-Tip and tell him to invest heavily in Roland, Summa & Graphtec......... :smile: wayne k guam usa

  15. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    You are likely right, I was thinking it would be a matter of the added weight causing issues with the head changing direction at speed. Inertia trying to keep the head moving in the same direction. Does a UV printer run the carriage at high speed? wayne k guam usa
  16. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    Looks pretty neat. Do you think you will have issues with the added weight on the leading edge of the carriage? wayne k guam usa

  19. Best Way To Re-Stick Lifting Decal Edge?

    Don't put tape under the decal - would be the same as using carpet staples or blind rivets to hold the edge - not a pro move. wayne k guam usa
  20. Best Way To Re-Stick Lifting Decal Edge?

    It's 3M primer 94 adhesive promoter that you don't want to use on Oracal. The edge sealer should be fine. The stuff in the sealer pens is clear acrylic paint - about the same as over the counter nail polish. Just read that these are garbage trucks. After you get the edge back down cut thin...
