Perfect answer. (now why didn't I say that...?)

Hiker grommets. Hiker press. Haven't tried any others.

Here ya go. I pulled the rolls out a bit so you could see the fine craftsmanship.LOL

Some static cling material won't work. At least that's been my experience with my Roland. We tried using a generic cling material and had nothing but trouble. Ink everywhere. Put in a name brand and it printed perfectly. Age may have an effect on how well it prints too.

artbot may be along shortly. He figured out the "secret" blend some time ago. I use a single component of his blend that will rip eco-sol ink right off a banner. Got my last gallon of it for less than 30 bucks.

I think you'll see a lot of this with HP. Happens every time they figure out Bigger, Better or Faster. Of course it's no different with other manufacturers. All done to keep you on the path of perpetual upgrades. If you don't have the latest bit of kit you might as well close the doors...

Try these guys: http://www.westernrubber.com/materials/weslastomer-sponge/silicone-sponge/ Or Google Silicone Rubber Sponge. That should get you what you're after. Silicone rubber is naturally heat resistant.

Not sure if the blades are interchangeable. You shouldn't need many though. As I recall I've only had three in mine over 12 or 13 years. First one was seven years old and cutting fine, but I wanted to see the edge. (7 years is not a typo) Took it out, dropped in on the concrete and ruined...

Only one issue with static so far. One was from an off brand static cling material. We also had over spray issues when we tried third party inks. Got on everything and stopped the printer in its tracks. Guess we've been fortunate.

You may need new cap tops. Not real familiar with the head set up on your rig. Does it have 2, 3 6 heads? 3rd party inks tend to eat up cap tops and dampers faster.

Start by cleaning the encoder strip. That will help clean up the over spray. Someone just posted about their rig printing curvy. Said they thoroughly cleaned the carriage rail and lubed it. Said that cured the curve in the test. Looking at the test print you have deflection from head...

Something that is going to take that kind of abuse I'd bury in Imron clear coat. Imron is used on aircraft. Probably outlast the truck.:cool:

THIS^^^^ At my previous job I'd work shipping. Going on anything but our own truck meant the crate was built bomb proof. Until you've seen how some trucks are umm... loaded and not secured you'd never believe what I tell you. Smaller shipments went like this. Want it fast but smashed...

Had an angry client tell us the sign we just anchored to the building was not plumb. He calmed down(a little) after we showed him his building was tipping/falling into the parking lot. That certainly took the focus off us.

If its a single color make a stencil and paint it. OP didn't say how many colors.

Sometimes when a client specs a material they really don't know anything about it, or if it's even necessary for the application.

Safety glass or MarGard MR10 Lexan.

Makes a bit more sense then. I tend look at things like this through my midwest "glasses". New Yorkers seem to have an unlimited supply of disposable income.

Nice lettering. Still a few examples in my hometown. That building though...OOF. And somebody is going to pay good money to dismantle, move then rebuild it?:omg: Surprised someone didn't already throw a match in it and call it a day.
