    I dont understand lower resolution and a banding correlation. Can't you media adjust the printer to offset the banding? Maybe you could explain the type of banding you mean?
  3. Windows....Cal vs. Cast

    OH yes I know that. If I were to use a 2ml I would probably go with the 3m controltac. Sorry I thought the question was in reference to calenedered vinyl. As a side note I have heard that general formulations is going to introduce a comply high end calendered vinyl that is supposed to be...
  4. Windows....Cal vs. Cast

    I use General Formualtions and have had good results with it. It is not a vinyl that is generally known as they make branded vinyl for major suppliers in the US. It is very similar to Oracle 3651, but cheaper!!!! no grey blockout back either. I am in Canada and it is sold as General...
  5. Windows....Cal vs. Cast

    Calendered vinyl has a pretty high shrink rate and a southerly exposure would increase the shrinkage. Having said that I would give the customer the option as I have tested calendered vinyl on a southerly application and yes it does shrink but you will get 5 years out of it and the ink will be...

  10. How is business....

    I was pretty busy all summer and Oct it has slowed down. I am a little concerned as to how you guys deal with employee costs. I always have something to do because I wear so many hats here but one of my employees is basically a weeder , masker installer and when the work slows down I am...
  11. Ever have one of those moments....

    LMFAO!!!! I indeed can relate as our washroom is similarly placed close to the front reception. I have learnt that you have to time the flush with gastronomic expullsion!!!! It's incredibly embarassing...I hope you shook their hands on the way out!!:U Rock:
  12. my laptop has a mind of its own!!!!1

    the virus scanner has picked up the usual cookies and I have not heard a peep out of the speakers now for over 90 minutes. Stranger things have happened.
  13. JV3-160SP Pull Battery to reset Date?

    I agree with Isign to a certain degree and thats why I have not pulled the battery. I am sure the inks will go way past the due dates, but where do you draw the line. Sort of reminds me in a way back when Duracoat came out with cartridges for the Edge. My Gerber rep tried scaring the heck out me...

    I run xp. This lame radio program keeps repeating itself every 15 minutes or so and this chick is talking about birth control and breast feeding..wtf have I done? Running a full virus scan to see if any spyware has invaded. It couldn't be the fact that these speakers are plugged in could it...
  15. my laptop has a mind of its own!!!!1

    I have no idea what is going on here but yesterday I decided to set up my Logitech USB speakers for my laptop so I could listen to the radio on line with decent sound. In any case this morning I set up the laptop and plug in all my devices and out of nowhere I hear yapping going on from my...

  17. HELP ink limits in Flexi rip

    I dont mean to ask a dumb question but have you checked your media compensation on the Mimaki? I seem to always be adjusting it from job to job.
  18. 1 shot not drying

    I also remember my ex partner would transfer the paint from a can to a coffee cup but there were certain cups that released something that made the paint never dry. Banners too can have those properties. We had a banner hanging here now as a sample that took 3 years to tack up.
  19. JV3 Error 10 - wtf???
