switched-over from 3M to Arlon wrap vinyl about 4 years ago and haven't looked back. Never had issues with 3M, aside from them frequently jacking-up the prices. Arlon installs wonderfully & has yet to fail, leading me to trust that it will last just as long as the others assuming proper...

setting ink limits is not automated, but rather, it is a step in an automated process when profiling your media on the 26500. this is the part where you need to personally examine the printed swatches and tell the program, yourself, what value is "too much ink" so that it knows not to attempt to...

matthews has a color selector chart available. out-of-can colors only, of course. To match PMS, 3M Vinyl, or other color systems you must request a formula to mix these stock colors. an illustrator/photoshop swatchbook, however, can be quickly made in <1hr by just using the chart above and an...

pretty sure I've never heard of ADA compliance actually referring to wayfinding but merely identification as to what the room/exit/stairwell/elevator they are entering and other fire safety warnings such as "do not use elevator" or "push button for assistance" etc. We have, however, added...

quoting from an old thread, there's better explanation with linked .pdf's I'm sure, but I don't have the time to dig at the moment (I searched "Jv3 alignment", gave me like 50results)

that banding tho'. definitely result of misalignment. but hey, that's pretty damn close considering you only did mechanical alignments.

there are profiles for phototex on the 26500, make sure you have the proper media as there are different types for different inksets. the textured surface will definitely allow for the ink to scratch/rub-off if you do not liquid laminate it, which is also an issue when you go to trim... as the...

160 is the same as the 130, essentially. if you cannot find manuals for the 130, the 160 will do just fine.

that's their calendared overlaminate. 8519/20 is 3M's cast overlam

+1 your vertical alignment won't usually be off much after replacement, as the head doesn't have much room to move here. I'll dig around for my manuals, with notes, as its been a few years since I've had to use them BUT you definitely have to start with a physical/mechanical alignment to make...

never had a problem with Arlon 6000XRP. Less expensive than 180cv3 as well.

Sam's Club & Ebay/Amazon. Not kiddin'.

for painting small cylinders, I'll just string them together with some wire & spacers and hang from the ceiling on my paintbooth. recordplayer would do the trick, one or a couple at a time, but painting a LOT of them would become tedious.

"normal" wraps, we cut clean to edge and hit it good with the post-heat.... has yet to fail. color changes & "showcase" wraps, for really nice clients willing to pay an extra $$$ for the extra effort, I'll wrap the edges. I think it looks a LOT nicer, but definitely takes a LOT more effort when...

chemetal and treefrog have textured finishes, and yes rated for indoor use only.

I'll usually start with a "data cable swap". search these forums for that term and you'll find threads with Artbot's diagram explaining it but it's really simple: powering-down the machine, and swapping the yellow ribbon cables at the printhead with another printhead and checking to see if the...

did you look into ChemMetal laminates?

what is the daytime image? most likely print a graphic on perforated vinyl, applied to face of lexan. then, on backside of lexan, blockout entire panel with black vinyl with the word "OPEN" weeded-out. image shows during daylight, and at nighttime the word "OPEN" glows bright right through the...

basically, you want printed posters with adhesive backing? brilliant! phototex, graphitex, walltex, jarhead, fathead are all brands of existing wallscaping materials. find someone in your area that has access to these materials, like a sign company, that has a liquid laminator and will work...
