+1 don't know what you've been printing, but with proper ink limits set/profiling, reflective prints are still reflective....

yes/no. depending on your ink set. also depending on whether you can print white for certain elements of your print. an additional issue that may arise, is that the material wasn't prepared for print... so there might be some random debris/fingerprints throughout the roll depending on how it...

you can buy short rolls of window tint from Home Depot/etc. and laminate it onto clear vinyl. i do this to make my own chrome day/night illumination film.

ya, that's just window tint.

just dealt with this for a recent project.... architect wanted it all. color & optical transparency. red trans. was the color he wanted me to match, but the stock transluscent vinyl was "too opaque", ugh. what to do? ....I grabbed some clear vinyl, and printed similiar reds in varying...

somewhere between retail minus removal/reinstall/repair/regraphic/repaint costs, so basically half retail ....and current scrap-metal prices (<$50). honestly, waste of time unless you have the sign already sold. don't see too many "used signs-for-sale" lots for a reason. higher likelihood...

+1. you're the pro, that's why they're coming to you. install rate, no warranty on materials provided.

Garbage. For a couple hundred more you can find a bigger,newer, more advanced/trusted brand like mimaki or graphitec

Angel lithographic in Racine, Wi used to offer this but I believe they were absorbed by another company. I only know this because they were designing our brochures I once referred to this style as a "ski resort map". Shoot, I just came home from riding in Snowbird this last week. I'll see if I...

Overthinking this. If there's lit modules, then it is safe to "assume" that the power supply is working. You're most likely dealing with bad modules or bad wiring between modules. Cheap LEDs will quickly corrode outside, due to exposure to elements/moisture while the power supply operates in...

Speaking of hypocrites, please refer to OP and checkout their forum posts and see how big of a waste of space this thread has become. Get over it people. Stop asking stupid, repeated/searchable questions or at least start having more fun dealing with snarky responses.

Soooo you're saying that I not only have to payoff access to premium sections of this forum, but I also have to hold your hand and whisper sweet-nothings into your ear when your clearly being a whiny princess? Ummm no thanks. Get some thicker skin or get off the internet. Censorship is a tool...

Very impressed as well. Print speed is mainly increased by diminished warm-up time. Instead of a gigantic print heater, there's a smaller heater right on the printheads carriage and the new ink set doesn't require nearly as much juice to cure. Added note, 3rd party ink for the 26500 (STS) is...

Just spent the last two days here at the sign show, and the new HP looks AMAZING! Honestly, if I wAsnt already invested in my new hp26500 (which is also 95% as amazing) then I'd be alllll about buying it right here on the spot! On that note, I just had a few drinks with the president of Grimco...

...ahem. Let me then explain the term hypocrite. Read on, and keep learning, rather than preaching.

hitting the bars fri/sat night, around the convention center, and hoping to run-into some fellow sign guys. what's everyone getting into? Howl at the Moon has been my favorite in year's-past, but i'm open to suggestions. who wants to DRINK?!?

sounds like a hydrophobic coating, like Rustoleum now offers.

arlon DPF 8000 will stick great, but it won't conform to the mortar lines.

big fan of simply taking a screen shot of my drawings/layout for emailing to clients. resolution is good enough for viewing on a computer screen, but is horrible for reproduction. it also cuts the file size to ~1mB, which is also awesome for quick emailing.

ain't broke, don't fix it. replacing the dampers "just because" creates the potential for opening up a can-of-worms: bubbles in ink lines, broken manifolds, fried printheads, soooo many headaches just waiting to happen. ...although, it never hurts to set a "cap" on it, for the sake of...
