  1. What res. do you print at?

    The profile for 180 was created by my dealer who used to have an inside guy who did nothing but profiling for all the machines they sold. I run the heat at 43 / 38 adhesion seems ok. Not sure the difference between great adhesion and poor adhesion. I will try running it even hotter if it means...
  2. Where to buy Magnetic Dry Erase Boards

    I Use 20 gauge galvanized steel and I get it at a heating air conditioning supplier that has a shear. I don't know wht even the wholesale office supply places charge so much for these boards over regular write on eraseable.

  4. What res. do you print at?

    I run exclusively 720 x 720 and mostly 4 pass bidirectional with high speed turned off. I find with 360 x 540 the colours are all wrong for me, but that would be the fact that I cant profile for myself so I rely on you know who's profiles which suck lol. I cant get profiles from Flexi as...
  5. JV3 160 SPII Quality issues

    yup my greens and blues also have banding and 8 pass helps but the best way to deal with it is to lower the heads if you need the print to be really clean. 720 x 720 8 pass. I thought I had damaged my cyan head accidentally but maybe it's a known issue. I might add that for the longest time...
  6. pbs indpendent lens last night?

    Anybody catch this program. It was entirely on TYPE. Helvetica to be precise and its impact on the world. I was blown away and couldn't get enough of this program. They interviewed the creator of the font and discussed opinions from many high end graphic designers of its impact on the world...
  7. jv3 130 spII - low ink, heads not getting wiped

    so swap the cartridges? well there both sitting on 1 so I suppose the low ink warning will probably pop up in a few days
  8. 3m reflective misbehaving

    low grade? It's 3m comply. Had to buy 5 yard minimum 48" $60.00 per yard....gulp. You just dont want to replace a piece,especially when you have very little left.
  9. Pricing for digital printing

    The thing is if you outsource your printing then chances are you will never have something every day because there are other ways of making signs..ie cut vinyl. If you purchase a printer slowly over time you will eventualy start printing more and more signs that you would have done with cut...
  10. jv3 130 spII - low ink, heads not getting wiped

    Yes exactly I did a 1 hour nozzle wash friday night but becasue the black ink is low I guess when the wash is finished it does not go through the routine of wiping the heads, hence my magenta head clogged up a bit. Normally once you get the ink near end message, it doesn't take long for the...

  13. jv3 130 spII - low ink, heads not getting wiped

    When I put low cartridges back in they dont work and I get some command about adding ink or something, but I am afraid to get aire in the lines if I am wrong.
  14. do digital prints on calendered shrink a lot?

    what i normally do with coro signs is put a border on the sign and then cut either right on the edge or leave .1 of an inch over the border, then eye ball it down and use the big squeegee. I just seem to notice that onm larger prints it seems that my final size is always smaller than it should...
  15. do digital prints on calendered shrink a lot?

    I have this bad habit of printing coro signs to the finished size of the blank and find many times when I apply them that they dont quite make it to the edges all around. Is the stuff shrinking that fast? I use a big squeegee to put them down so I like the print to be the size of the blank so I...
  16. 5/8" clear plexi and fine scratches

    I have to strip the paper off both sides as the logo goes on the reverse side, but the left over compound has to be wiped off as I have to put a strip of blue on the underside of the plexi and the brown stuff is all over the place. I like the idea of using the latex gloves and I have them for...
  17. jv3 130 spII - low ink, heads not getting wiped

    OK so here is the thing. I am low on black ink and from what I can tell those suckers take for ever to empty,which is not a bad thing but when the ink is "near end" the little wiper does not perform its task until there are no low inks. Friday night I did a 60 minute nozzle wash and then swung...
  18. Fletcher fc cutter

    Who out here in Sign land can help me understand this beast. I for the life of me cant figure out how sometimes it seems accurate on a cut and other times it can be out by over 1/2". It seems each time I use it to cut multiple cuts it seems to act differently. Lets take the rulers that are on...

  20. 3m reflective misbehaving

    I am putting these 8" stripes on this Ford expedition and I find if I fold back the vinyl to pull half the backing paper off without folding it back on itself but just bending it back on itself, afterwards I get this horrible non descript black line visible on the surface of the reflective. It...
