plastidip basecoat, for removability, and chrome spray over the top. done and done.

no brainer. adhesive remover. Rapid Remover, Cut-Thru, GooGone, its all good. ...and some elbow grease. edited to add: I usually use a plastic squeegee or plastic scraper too of sorts to aid the RapidRemover. Helps break down the adhesive, save your knuckles some effort, and is great for...

easy answer: never put the blade to the paint and you'll never have issues. extended answer: pull on the negative vinyl to be weeded-away, and use the blade to score the vinyl as you travel. hard to explain, it's more of a feel/practice thing, but your action of lifting the tab of vinyl off of...

zero experience, minimum wage with incentives to grow: 90 days before benefits kick-in and renegotiation of wages based on effort & ability to learn/follow direction. zero competence, don't hire at all.... why are you even considering this? why is this even being debated? this is why we have...

extreme values within the alignment procedures would cause this. you should be replacing the existing values with the alignment results, not adding to them, and hopefully you are using the right values (which is all +/- decimals, I don't think I have a single whole number in my alignments).

if you look around, and others have it as well, then you should be granted a variance. its yet another step in the permit process but, with due diligence, your reasonable request will be heard. ordinances, regulations, & permits are really just a way for the city to be allowed the final say in...

:Welcome:2:signs101: they make adbots with feelings now? soooo if you're already involved with BitCoin trading, then why not accept payment to yourself in an X+15%bitcoin payment and then payX to USCutter for the invoice? bitcoin sounds like a really dumb business strategy.... sorry to say...

still, hard to say for sure what your issues may be without actually seeing pictures of the problem & test prints. sooooooo "pics or it never happened", or get a tech out there to diagnose your issues in-person.

p.s. pics or it never happened o, and :Welcome:2:signs101:

+1 wet sand or at least evenly sand with super fine grit. clear coat will do the rest.

like the ones that home depot and basically every hardware store carries already? heck yeah i'd do these in-house allday if I could find people to pay $3-5 a letter!

you wasted a bit of time by taking a truck out there and not get a complete survey. cabinet size, v.o., and retainer size is essential and it's also worth the effort to pull off one of the retainers to get a good look inside of the sign's construction & potential service needs ...or you may as...

BigFish!

also never hurts to assume there's a gremlin under the hood. a full-on cleaning and flush could be all it really needs. pass rates are usually wherever you can control the temperatures. no clue with vw here. onyx, its in the que and I right-click jobs to printer settings.

color dropout in either your cyan/yellow ink supply or a dirty encoder strip at that end of the printer. the former having many causes, such as an airbubble in the ink line/bad seat on the capping station/loose cable connections/list goes on but I think your C/Y line isn't being supplied with...

+1, no primer here unless necessary. and it's rarely necessary. if a surface is questionable, try applying a piece of vinyl to it - heat - cool - and try to remove, ezpz. usually, if the vinyl isn't sticking ...then you didn't clean it well. ...still, the last time i used primer was a few...

saving as a .pdf from illustrator creates a "clipping mask" using the original Illustrator's artboard. anything outside of that gets clipped, anything inside of it gets grouped into a mess within the clipping mask. preferable to save as an .ai or .eps, and even converting strokes/text to...

can combine multiple files, of all types, into a single .pdf using Adobe Acrobat Pro and you can print it from there via "multiple pages per sheet" option when you go to print. ...and maybe instead of printing it, why not just buy an old iPad for cheap and keep it "paperless" and cooler to...

its a porous material, and an aqueous printer, i'm curious if you would even be able to get those tiny letters/barcode lines to print perfect anways. i would go with the printable vinyl tabs trick as a quick-fix, but it won't help you much if your prints are coming out all smudged too.

ink limits would be my next guess otherwise, possibly to dial-up your settings for the print? max pass rate, slow speed, and highest temperature, to give the ink some more ability to dry before piling more on. OR pause the print when it starts making the marks & apply a piece of white print...
