Interesting. A simple mechanical failure generally fails in the same way every time. You might confirm that the carriage drive belt mechanism is solid by marking one tooth on the belt and the corresponding tooth on the drive wheel. No matter how much of what you cut the marked tooth on the...

There's all kinds of poster paper for solvent printers. I've be using InteliCoat 6mil to good effect. There's other brands as well. Poster paper is cheaper than photo paper, prints every bit as well, and it doesn't crack if you bend it too sharply.

Assuming then that the deviation is in the Y direction, carriage travel, and not the X direction, media travel. Does it gain or lose? In other words, does the carriage travel too far or not far enough? Since the error seems to increase with speed, this would indicate some some sort of...

Close? Did your guide dog concur with your analysis?

It's probably not the mark sensing tackle. If it were then all of the cuts should be off by the same offset. It's probably not that the media is initially skewed, if it were the marks would not have been read. If the marks are read then any initial media skew would be mitigated by the...

Drawing an arc chord across the top of a windshield as you have done assumes that the curve is a portion of a circle. It is not. The objective is to flatten out the windshield into two-space and fit the lettering to that shape. Here's the foolproof way to do it... Tape a piece of paper...

The green is good. Unfortunately the script you chose is in complete discord with the Roman 'ESTATES'. This incompatibility is aggravated by the mildly questionable typography of all upper case Roman as well having the two lines of copy touch without any accommodation of their respective drop...

M is printerese for 1000.

Flexi tends to do this with bitmaps of gradients. You can reduce the banding somewhat by selecting a higher quality dither algorithm. The only way to eliminate it is to do the gradient in Flexi, set it to CMYK [the ONLY time you want to do this] and select the highest quality gradient and dither...

True, the dither pattern seems more visible in reds. You can mitigate this some by opting for a higher quality dither algorithm. Supposedly the higher quality the dither algorithm the longer the RIP times. I routinely use the top of the line dither and I don't see any appreciable increase in RIP...

The look of the application suggests that everything except the mediocre hand painted script was applied one character at a time, ala mail box letters.

Perhaps we would be better served to pull back the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.

The script is not a type face, it's hand painted. And not particularly well at that.

14 at $58.39 each plus a flat $50 to install them all.

More like 4:40. The traditional explanation for this is that it shows the hands, has a pleasing symmetry, and puts them out of the way of any name or other text that usually is placed between 12 and the center. There are other apocryphal explanations having to do with the the time some notable...

This is one of those things that just because you can do something is not sufficient reason to do it. A blade designed to cut vinyl is perhaps the worst possible choice for a blade to cut paper. Paper is incredibly abrasive and will take the tip off a vinyl blade instantly. Not to mention the...

Bilious color, bad design, and hideous typography. That thing is one of the worst pieces of dreck seen in quite some time. It looks like one of those pathetic slides they used to show at intermission in movie theaters, the ones with the dancing popcorn and the singing hot dogs. This thing...

I do it all the time. All you have to so is print or somehow get the registration marks in the media. Then use the plotter's auto sense feature. It will read the marks and will then map the plot data into that region. Make sure the job has 0 margin and no weed box in the the cut dialog, thus...

$104.00 for one, 15 for $1308.00 which comes to $87.20 per copy.

First, clean your encoder strip.
