:thumb: Very nice. Definitely like the classic look.

Neat. Never thought you could do that. Learn sumthin' everyday.

:ROFLMAO: Perfect!

Fair enough. Although during my short stint with 3rd party inks in a non-calibrated environment two things stuck out. First was gamut. Have to admit they hit color well. Second thing was the amount of ink used. Holy Cow!!!!! It went through cartridges like they only cost a nickel...

3rd party ink suppliers constantly exclaim: "We are exactly like OEM just plug and play. Never any mention of color calibrated workflows or other exceptions to avoid "issues". Now you'll need to explain how stock profiles and non calibrated workflow can damage a printer with 3rd party inks...

Yup. I have over $800 of 3rd party inks sitting in plain sight so I NEVER forget what a disaster they were. My wife insists on getting rid of them. I think I'll frame them as a monument to my stupidity. To the point: It will take me years to recover any money I "saved". Some clients will...

If I had the resources I would have a full lab analysis comparing my Roland ink to Triangle, Bordeaux, Marabu etc... Could do the same with any OEM for that matter. This would put to rest once and for all the claims of "Just like OEM". My bet is the 3rd party ink manufacturers are relying on...

Cap tops may not be sealing correctly. You may have an air leak or a bad ink cartridge. Can you do a fill test?

I wonder if you could get away with attaching foam letters to a flex face on the 4' x 60"? Just typing out loud.

Thank you for explaining. One of our clients raises Alpacas. I should probably go and visit.

I said I'd stay out of the 3rd party ink debate for the duration, but I will add this. Reps, techs, whatever you call them are in business to make money for themselves or the company, period. NO matter what you are BUYING everything is sunshine and roses until something F's up. That's when...

Thank you for the Christmas wishes. Ummm....Llamas with Hats? If they're Alpacas I apologize profusely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZUPCB9533Y This is one of the the things I learned about in college. That and Charlie the Unicorn.:covereyes:

Absolutely smashing idea! When they're done with the sign it can be disassembled and the "ballast" left on site.:thumb: Gold star for you.

Welcome to the Big Squeegee brotherhood.

It is entirely possible they changed the material. AFAIK they don't call every shop and tell them what they're up to. I'd still put money on a defective batch if in fact it is supposed to be receptive. You can put ink on anything. It doesn't guarantee it will stay put.

What about attaching a structure to a couple concrete highway barriers? Ten footers weigh 4000lbs. Can get new or used. Buy or rent. I'll go lay down now...

3M may have incorporated a graffiti proof surface. If they didn't I'd say the material is defective.

What is this thing called Facebook? :rolleyes: I guess I have an account because the wife set it up. S'posed to be good for business. IIRC I posted on it once. 4 years ago...

Just remembered something. Check the power supply on your computer. Long shot I know, but we had one that was going out and it caused all kinds of issues. After it died and was replaced everything was right with the world.

Your print error is relatively consistent across a wide range of media. To me this would rule out media and profiles. I'd be checking cables and electrical connections and calling a tech.
