  1. HP L26 Magenta head shift

    issue with encoder strip/sensor, possibly? otherwise, a failure in the scanning system may exist, causing incorrect values to be stored during alignment procedures.
  2. Looking to purchase new setup

    no, you're giving opinions about product supplied from 3rd parties without actually having any information about what they are providing you, how they produced it, what machine, etc. they call it hearsay for a reason: just because you heard someone say it ...does not make it fact. As a...
  3. Rounded Corners: Can Anyone Explain This!?

    +1 it was your method, for sure. major kudos to those that took the time to illustrate the correct math. big fan of tracing a radius on a piece of paper, scanning it and importing to illustrator, to check my math against. heck, even print your final result on another piece of paper if you...
  4. Helpful Tips On Installing Cast Letter On Rock Wall

    agreed. zero need for the pads. there won't be anything flat for them to sit-on, and you'll just end up seeing those obnoxious things sticking-out from the sides of the letters. use studs, and nuts for adjustment another way to go about this, to save you some effort, would be to have a clear...
  5. Need Help selling files to competitor/customer

    no way, josé. pay the designer, artwork ain't free. You setup at your own expense the last go-around, just to keep all parties happy on your project, but that doesn't mean you now have to cater to another source.
  6. Need Help Anyone have some tips for applying Flexcon Nusmark on box trucks?

    calendared vinyl known to begin curling after 6months. do not apply over rivots, and slice the vinyl where it hits edges of panels. post heat is always good.
  7. Suggestions Operation "Black Friday PC Build"

    intel has always been my choice, but I've always built-around a desire for videogaming. In this case, however, you can definitely save a buck going with AMD and shop-up your graphics card to meet/exceed flexi's requirements.

    newegg.com has some great builds by PC nerds, and the most competitive pricing/selection in one-spot.
  9. Window perf too transparent

    you don't get full effect of perforated graphics, unless one side of the glass is darker than the other. just like in the TVshows/Movies, where someone flips on the lightswitch in the room behind the oneway glass.... you see everything. frost the window with something like 3M 7725 Dusted...
  10. Minimum Charge

    $125 minimum here as well, which in itself offers little room for profit no matter what you're making. By the time you translate their order, produce, & bill, then you can easily call that an hour's worth of work that has already eaten into the project. I refer clients to .com's all the time...
  11. Source for these type of frames, etc.

    looks custom. 1/8"-1/4" photopolymer header (painted & stamped letters), unless the letters are a cast-color all the way through then it is most likely rasterbraille header instead. 1/8' white acrylic backer, & 1/8" clear acrylic "lens" with 1/16" spacers top/bottom & routed "thumb hole", &...
  12. Heat assist or cold roll

    heat assist. hands-down. I'm sure guys without it claim they have no issues with silvering, but I'm sure its something they've just gotten used-to. Run laminates with heat assist, and you immediately notice the difference whenever you run it without.
  13. How to speed up Channel letter Production

    let me guess, you're also drilling & popping rivots by hand? sooooo 2004. get a clincher, invaluable. THERE is your timesaver, if anything else. nails are just as fast as magnets for trim capping. i know people who actually prefer nails, because the table surface is less likely to scratch...
  14. How to speed up Channel letter Production

    I run the Accubend Model 26. It rocks. totally worth the $$$. Gemini actually runs a fleet of these for their There's options out there that will do the notching and bend marks, while the bending is done by hand, but if you're spending the $$$ then you may as well just get the machine that...

    Accubend p.s. UL Certification is a must-have, if you intend to produce electrical signage.
  16. Need Help horizontal banding in blue colors only (L26500)

    i do sometimes get slight banding on 10pass, which is why I rarely run it. 16pass fulltime, unless i'm in a rush and I dial it up to 12pass. I have a feeling those knocks in your magenta nozzle test might be the culprit. higher-pass rates fill-in deflected nozzles better, although the color...
  17. Need Help horizontal banding in blue colors only (L26500)

    you're looking at the cyan, but your banded image certainly has magenta in the mix. what does a 10pass magenta box look like? edited to add: your cyan cartridge should be fine despite accidentally depressurizing the system, as the system will keep prompting you to install ink cartridge if...
  18. Need Help horizontal banding in blue colors only (L26500)

    maybe ink starvation during fast print speeds? do you get the same result with 16pass? maybe a gunked-up maintenance kit? that ink drain funnel / wiper can get gunked up faster than the maintenance kit runs out. on that note, have you changed your waste ink line & container recently? if it...
  19. Substrate ID

    yeah, HDPE rocks! perfect for outdoors. also noted, that it won't accept anything but motorcross high-tack vinyl & requires flame-prepping the surface. if that's any part of your plan.
  20. Substrate ID

    not HDU, not Gatorfoam. both are soft & porous, can push a penny through them so you can definitely push a nail through them as well. that's definitely expanded PVC, like sintra/koma/etc brands carry. the shininess leads me to believe it is some form of exterior-grade, because if it was your...
