  1. print changes colors halfway thru job

    definitely ink flow dropout in the magenta. *could be air in ink lines, causing it to "burp", solved by running a fillupink repeatedly until you see it drawn into the damper *could be broken manifold. (uncommon, but likely considering you're fiddling with the dampers) its the black plastic tip...

  3. Serif font, ideas?

    engraving & low res photo making it difficult for me to find a match
  4. What type of printing process is being used?

    flatbed printing, poly coated. as for the other 8-steps, I bet two of them are: drinking a beer while printing & drinking a beer while clear coat dries.
  5. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    if there was a fire big enough to take out our network room, we've got bigger problems than losing a few production files. we would, however, still have our core archive to reproduce/create everything we've accumulated over the past 20+ yrs....once we have built a new shop.
  6. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    cloud-based data storage is garbage for large files. bash me if you will, but $.03-0.09/GB/month sounds cheap til it adds up to $300/tb/year. I'd rather buy some gear of my own and keep everything in-house. our network drive is a NAS Raid 1, with an additional copy backed-up manually to a...
  7. textured overlaminate, exterior-grade?

    thanks guys! i guess yellowing wouldn't be that big of an issue as well, as it is a woodgrain print :) piedmont plastics is definitely a good referral, they've taken good care of me in the past.
  8. textured overlaminate, exterior-grade?

    shopping for options to add a textured overlaminate to 3M DiNOC Wood Grain vinyl, or printed wood-pattern version of, to incorporate into some Monument/Wayfinding signage for upcoming shopping complex project. Needs to be long-term exterior-grade, edges will be capped in aluminum framwork so...

  10. Pantone 377 C a tough color for the L360

    have you printed a test swatch to confirm all of your printheads are firing at 100%? my $$$ is on your light cyan missing just enough nozzles for the printer to deem acceptable to continue printing without forcing you to replace.

    greetings from across the pond!
  14. Please help! wrap print distorted (puckered?) prior to laminating

    maybe just try "stretching" it prior to lamination? worth a shot to: -wind it up on a cardboard-roll/tube, graphic-side out, and tighten as much as possible ....maybe even wand it with a little heatgun for some extra help, but mainly can just let it sit like that overnight. -when you laminate...

    measure twice. cut/apply once.
  16. Best drill bit for acrylic and polycarbonate?

    if you use a regular drill bit, but are worried about cracking the acrylic..... run your drill in reverse. you can actually punch a clean hole thru acrylic just by the friction of the bit, and it won't catch-break the plastic. btw, you're not going to get a clear hole. it's always white-ish...

  19. Maui Hawaii, Suggestions?

    my family vacations there annually but I, however, have only been once. Still, Maui is definitely one of the best destinations this side of the globe! one of my fav's... Sunrise @ Haleakalah. Gotta get up really early, and it's a bit chilly, but definitely worth the effort to watch the sunrise...
