re-working a set of existing cast aluminum gemini letters, with the hollow backs, that the client does not like how birds/bees are making their nests in currently due to being stood-off the wall a few inches. we would like to fill and/or cap the recess permanently, but uncertain of an...

base print is either white ink on silver foil vinyl, or silver on white media. hologram comes from overlaminate. Can't tell you which brand, but I can say that most I've seen are quite bad. They look great, and adds so much depth when viewing at certain angles BUT cars I've seen wrapped with...

i only use studs or VHB+silicone combo for wall mounted lettering

lol, don't edge-seal drywall installations... wasted effort AND potential to make a mess in the form of a "wet" outline around your graphic. microfiber rag to dry-clean the wall, apply, and use heat gun to give your graphic (especially the perimeter) some lovin' with a felt squeegee. should...

thanks guys! I don't know why I didn't think of the 3M 1100 ElectroCut series, although its a shame that the color selection is basically limited to standard DOT colors (green, dark green, blue, red, orange, black, brown, yellow). SolarGraphics seems impressive and I have just put in a request...

I've got this sample book of Hexis' Luxtac C4000, basically window-tint in various colors. not to be confused with transluscent vinyl, as I can literally read this computer screen through the sample card (pic attached) Unfortunately, this is a calendared film with only a 2yr durability and I'm...

hah, I remember that one too. thanks for reposting. Its funny because people use it as evidence to "debunk" outgassing, where the article actually acknowledges the existence of outgassing as an issue. Their solution was dialing-down ink limits and profiling their machines like you're...

its your combination of materials. sounds like the laminate is crap (for the conditions), and is taking your intermediate-grade vinyl down along with it. go with a cast laminate OR liquid-laminate (to save a few $$$), or at the very least use 3M's recommended laminate (8509) for the application...

+1 to rethinking your options to include the HP Latex printers. I was a solvent printer for nearly a decade and wasn't so quick to jump-ship, BUT I have been headache-free ever since I swapped-over to this HP26500. Instant-dry, no solvent odor, and even does its own color profiling &...

looks more like misalignment than an overspray issue.

can't expect anyone to give you advice without proper printer description & nozzle test print. could be as simple a fix as a media feed compensation or a good-cleaning. linearization of your printer may be a fix, or may be your demise... done improperly, you'll have two identical printers with...

new captops too? that could be another cause for the dropout on the yellow. if the cap doesn't make a snug-fit when the printheads park on it, it will not have enough suction to refresh the siphon-effect of the ink supply and your printhead will stop laying-down ink once its no longer able to...

this is a 3-sided sign right? with a 1" return? build your structure, skin with panels, fill-in missing return for the circle with plastic/wood edited: oops! nvm, misread the OP. its just a LARGE sign that will require 3panels to complete. I got it now. if you're still looking to make a...

hard to diagnose with only half of the story. what were the issues leading-up to your desire to change the printheads? which printheads did you change? +plus a dozen other questions I'm not sure where to start. there's no "quick fix" for these things unless you can isolate the gremlin under the...

laminator + roll of mounting adhesive + paper. 1) laminated paper with mounting adhesive 2) laminate laminated paper with paper

+1 bottleneck logo is awesome.

I'd be saving myself a headache trying to fabricate the return for the rounded-part, by subsituting some "filler" in the form of 1" HDU. 1) build a triangular frame with your 1" returns, bottom-square portion-only 2) secure your routed panel to the frame, however you wish, this includes round...

what RIP are you using? My onyx has a "calculate ink usage" option when sending files to RIP, and is pretty spot-on.

do you have a operator's manual? linked here, cause I'm a nice guy. The "Color Pattern" option is somewhere in the Print Mode options, I believe. been a long time since I operated mine, so I don't know exactly where you'll have to dig but I'm sure you can figure it out :)

I can imagine a downside being that it may require a clear-path to follow. Tree branches/ski lifts/etc. suddenly get in the way and you'll be having a fun time tracking-down where it crashed.
