  1. Question HP26500 crashing into side during scan

    reported myself, hoping to move this thread to HP Forum. lol aaaaanyways, while watching the mechanics of the scan, I determined the crash point to be this tiny metal arm/hook that sits above the ink cartridges on the far-left side of the printer. appears to be a trigger/emergency stop...
  2. Need Help Acrylic sign faces going wavy...

    +1 using .177 polycarb whenever possible. this never happens, no strips added. plenty signs up in my area, done by cheap bids on walmart projects, where thinner polycarb was used and constantly blows-out of the sign, or acrylic faces were used and wavy effects produced as OP has stated. all...
  3. Wrapping 24' Box Truck with Rivets

    anything less than cast wrap vinyl with cast overlaminate will fail. even if you managed to make something like IJ40 "work", every rivot will tent-up within a few weeks/months of install. Calendared vinyls tend to shrink-back over time, and this is accelerated by stretching it over rivots...
  4. Question HP26500 crashing into side during scan

    first for me, printing just fine for a couple of years, aside from media/ink errors, but suddenly today my HP26500 latex printer wants to SLAM into the far-side of the printer during its power-up/preparingsystem/scan processes. ...and then throws me a media jam error, even with no media in the...
  5. why is this happening??

    stroke? edited to add: seems odd that you are also scaled at 93% but still shows up as larger dimension.
  6. strange lines...

    would those LED lights on the inside of your printer cover have anything to do with it? the encoder sensor is a photo-eye, and maybe not reading correctly at those points on the strip due to some glare?
  7. Question Onsite large sign patterns

    you may want to consider an additional bucket truck rental for this install, as well. sign faces that large, are no easy task.
  8. Reverse Printed CAB Plastic??

    if using clear plastic as your substrate, then 2 layers of vinyl, printed clear & printed white trans. (unless you want to print on two layers of clear, and add a third-layer of white trans between them, but that seems like a waste when you can simply print on the white trans. BUT this could...
  9. Need help on custom numbers for a hotel.

    1/4" black acrylic lettering would look pretty clean on metal/wood. are you providing the panels, or is that part of the spec. for quote as well? wood/wood laminate or painted/stained/raw metal/wood?
  10. It's been a bad month

    So sorry for your loss. Best wishes for your family & business, and God bless your grand-daughter's amazing Grandparents!
  11. Reverse Printed CAB Plastic??

    you don't have to line-up double-print layers pixelxpixel, but you want to be as close as you can explained: if there is a transluscent white layer in between the two prints, then the pixels are diffused by the time the light hits the front layer. which is ultimately the goal of this process...
  12. Wall graphics job

    if you do any canvas printing, especially for wall murals, ALWAYS laminate it. just takes one rough rub of your felt squeegee or an overzealous cleaning crew, to ruin it. Liquid laminate anything printed on textured material, you can roll it on with a paintroller, or use matching lamination...

  14. What would you charge to install a 24" x 36" Aluminum sign into brick/block?

    shouldn't be too hard. i'd quote a do not exceed price of travel + 3hrs. I'm sure it would take only a little more than an hour to install but you never know.

    $20 says it was existing mounting hardware and new sign with eyebolts was made to replace.
  16. High Res/Vector Image Source for Aquatic Wraps

    I've installed that exact frame before, but the only ones I can find with similiar appearance is from VistaSystems and, unfortunately, the only item they carry has2 posts instead of the U-channel, and an attached vista sign frame. the one you're looking for might actually be from them , but may...
