hah, i think i know exactly whom you're talking about. :) so you're most likely rocking a mimaki jv3 160sp or similiar. right up my alley. ink contamination would be result of a dirty wiper blade & or capping station, unless there was some crazy stuff going on like swapping dampers. can you...

CadTools by HotDoor been a timesaver for us for 20years now. sure, a few lines with a dimension attached can be hand-drawn and scale can be math'd out with a calculator BUT seriously just try it out & thank me later. scales & dimension labels aside, this thing has TONS of useful tricks. One of...

I sheet-laminate square/flat window perf for storefronts BUT I spray-laminate perf graphics for car windows....looks wayyyy better & easier to work with, imho.

always willing to accept money, BUT I might have zero experience with your machine, i think....still uncertain what it is aside from a mimaki. always willing to brainstorm issues for free on this forum, however. besides, keeping the thread updated is helpful since others may be able to...

media thickness only has two settings high for thick and low for regular media. ....and i pretty much ran it fulltime on high without issue. it actually helped reduce headstriking on most media and the quality reduction was almost nonexistent. also, if youre nozzle check isn't firing close to...

empty ink cartridge? what mimaki model? what specifically happened leading up to the issue? post pics of nozzle check and condition of your printhead carriage & capping station and i'm sure there will be some ideas when we have somethign to work with.

never too late to pitch plexiglass dividers in your area, for coronavirus considerations upon reopening. a lot of businesses in the service industry (nail salons, retail, reception areas) will be in need of 1/4" self-standing "spit shields" as most convenient places to order online are out of...

-super glue is awful. should only be used to fix acrylic, misc. plastic & ceramic pieces that fit perfectly/flat together. If epoxy was the cucumber, then superglue is cucumber water. :) re-adhering vinyl, however: -spray 77 is nice, but can be messy since you have to spray an aerosol can...

greetings from Racine, WI. :welcome::signs101smilie: I've still got my jv3-160 in storage.... and plenty of threads on this forum related to your issue. you need to run "Printhead Alignment" procedures, for both bi-directional and uni-directional, if your having registration issues unrelated...

been using 3M IJ35 or 40c, mostly. BUT my new favorite intermediate-economy air egress vinyl is Grimco's Briteline 3201X.

low voc paint... a simple google will reveal that you should wait 6-8weeks before you'll see proper adhesion. any earlier, either the vinyl won't stick or your masking tape will peel-up large scabs of the wall paint. buzkill, i know. but that's just how its gotta be. (higher temps and airflow...

pretty straight forward here, would be different if if was in the air and you would have to adjust install time for access via ladders/lift. vinyl plus install plus travel plus room for error & profit.

if it was all 2nd surface originally and your client removed his own graphics...I would bet five dollhairs that its most likely scratched-up so bad that any vinyl you would lay 2nd-surface, would not look so hot when viewed through the face.

those things blow, right? my first thought was mesh banner, but it might obstruct the airflow a bit. Just shootin' from the hip here. Or maybe instead of trying to cover the front of it, you could add mounts for a flag-banner or a wind cone/cube to utilize the airflow to flutter out. Ooooo...

if your UV printer doesn't have white, would it be possiblet to just backspray with some white acrylic polyurethane?

yeah, those grey-adhesive controltac vinyls are ruined once you get them wet..... or at least definitely ruined once you wet & scrub.

:welcome::signs101smilie::welcome::signs101smilie: grimco or eplastics.com, if you're in a pinch and want to order online. else pretty much any glass shop, sign supply company, plastic supply company in your area has black acrylic readily available.

truest white at night and black in daytime? trick question really. black perf on white acrylic, day/night acrylic, etc.....they all have about the same level of "grey" when illuminated.

France and Sloan. sloan got a bad wrap from a bad batch on their manufacturing-end, BUT they owned it and credited us for every single power supply we pulled and replaced.

+1 pigment fades & chalks, not the acrylic that is completely inert and won't yellow in the sunlight like polycarb does.
