well... I see the issues with the ridges - but my bigger question is where is the reverse image coming from? it would be too easy to just say "off-gassing..." but can you tell if the reverse image is the same effect as the ridge silvering? Or is it possibly a surface effect from being stacked?

yeah, but unless it is all but light proof, you can see a difference on different substrates... the prints can be made to look awesome.... may point, going back the the OPs original question about there being 100% opaque white on the fluorescent stickers on the motorbike in the picture - the...

Definitely a surface effect/drying issue - please post if the Tech is able to resolve your problem.

yes, I made profiles up to 250% and under-flood - you can still see a mag-light shining through it - though the prints look good. Most very opaque things in this world are slightly transparent when thinned out to a 1000th of on inch.... even transparent glass can be designed to look black...

coming from offset printing the saying is "There is no such thing as opaque white" meaning anytime you print white it will always have some transmittance of light (but they do sell it as "Opaque White") - you just plan on it in the design so the minimal transmittance is not a dominant...

I see no one has jumped in yet.... I am not too familiar with your printer, but I have a 700W that had similar issues reporting the wrong size of media.... The install tech from UBEO fixed the problem about 2 years ago - right after install - There was a setting that would let it measure the...

quick note for the other end of the quality spectrum - we have found the 700W to be pretty amazing at trying to compensate for plugged nozzles. Now, not things I would use for highest quality, but we print a whole lot of posters for classrooms. even with only about 50% of nozzles working, you...

(of course, I am assuming you already checked the printheads and all nozzles are firing....)

I highly recommend setting up your own profiles - you may already be doing this.... more passes absolutely makes for smoother gradients and better prints overall. Our 700W printing quality went up dramatically as soon as we started optimizing our own profiles... Use the scratch tests (I...

I was going to say "every item I checked" - though it seems this was mostly the 3M products... looking a little more, it seems all the 3M and Avery are sold in 1 yard lengths, but the Oracal is by 10 yard....

I just checked - Grimco sells by the yard here in the States too....

I am not sure of your customers needs, but sometimes making the quick and dirty banner just looks better than trying to have a changeable date field... ,,, I work for a school district. We have a lot of banners that change every year - banners that announce things like the start of...

a quick and dirty fix would be to lie to the printer and get the result you want... the better fix is something like profiling a new media/ink or however it works on you printer....

no worries - you are also missing the point. YOU have a problem with a profile that should be printing white ink behind the image - you have already said as much. there are many ways to fix this. I have zero first hand knowledge of your equipment as I have never seen you, your shop, or your...

no worries, keep following how to profile without white - or make the white work for this media on your setup. There are many way to put ink on paper. the physics do not change, but what methods we can practically do is completely driven by both our equipment and our knowledge. best of wishes...

what does the print on clear look like when placed on an opaque white background? I would bet it looks much closer to the red you have spec'd.... if you cannot print whit behind the image (your stated you want to print white, but it will only let you if you say you are printing on PET...

I believe the problem you are having is that most inks are translucent and they work by removing colors of light as the light passes through the ink - so there needs to be something neutral (white) behind the ink to allow the light to reflect back through. However, you can also use opaque inks...

I work at a school District that uses a lot of the anti-graffiti paint - basically a very low surface energy product. Most adhesives need higher surface energy to allow adhesives to bond. Substance is a solid choice - it sticks to any of the LSE paint our District uses. It also will stick to...

Make sure almost all, if not all, nozzles are firing, make a fresh calibration and then try again.... greys are tricky if the hardware is not perfect.

this is usually a software setting, in onyx from the cut server, there is a dropdown that has the options..... If you are not currently printing marks down the length of the image, there is also a setting in the print server to tell it to make the marks.... (try YouTube - there are a few...
