how's your encoder strip look at the point on the printer?

we paint with mathews acrylic polyurethane, no primer necessary and actually not recommended unless it's an acrylic primer. paints great and is our standard for use of sintra signage. especially for outdoor panels, as sunlight/weather turns uncoated sintra to a faded-white version of whatever...

say what you will, but Fellers recently stepped-up bigtime and recalled a bunch of rolls of new product :dog42 .... because it wouldn't take crap from anyone :Big Laugh

hinge & wet apply. moisture kills the static. can even overuse your application fluid to flush the surface of your acrylic prior to setting the vinyl-down. ...and keep a clean area. I get smacked when I buff sign panels, especially recently-routed acrylic/aluminum with scotchbrite/sandpaper...

weak, this stuff is still being spec'd? its for lazy people that would rather spec. an exotic, overpriced, material than actually clean their surfaces/graphics properly. Meant for food service, public transit, or hospitals that want to add a stat-line to their interior design, at about...

pricey if you're buying more than a yard or so, but easily accessible via ebay resellers

dogs love me, no stealing necessary :) :blueboy:(<---this guy too. whatever the heck it is.) (dang, fred quoted me before removing my lemonparty comment.... I regretted posting that as soon as I realized that some really nice, abeit naive, people reading this thread might fall for it) back to...

suck it up, newbie. :dog42 let the snarks, snark, and let the good advice shine through (...in shorter rants than my own) take your battles to PM if you're really that hell-bent on sticking long-winded rants to someone for your hurt feelings. Texans are way too...

since the letter is already trim-capped, you're gonna have a heck of a time applying vinyl and covering-up every nook/cranny of the letter inside the pan of that letter. paint it white/lightgrey acrylic primer and black acrylic polyurethane paint. Needs the primer, because acrylic is like...

+1 that's what I've always done.

o hello, 2yr old thread. although it's interesting to see that I'm not the only one in SE Wisconsin still making their own Neon Signs :) cheers! :toasting:

many of my initial theories have already been stated. ..but i'm leaning-towards anything but install faillure. a year later, everything else is pristine, and there's no way someone would mis-prep the exact spot that "S" falls on both sides of the vehicle. ....approx. 3' difference between...

matte is my preferance, for overall use, it also hides wear/tear & imperfections in the print quality much better and doesn't leave as many noticeable scuffs when applied in a hurry. always gloss for reflectives, as matte seems to dull the effect a bit.

:clapping:sweeeeeeeeet!:thumb:

greetings from Racine, WI!

zombie thread BUT so glad you took the time to read my post, now a year later.... p.s. o and i'm STILL using OEM, as predicted, but thanks for the heads-up.

:goodpost::signs101: comeon Oracal, what the heck?!? just when I thought I could trust another brand besides 3M, they go and pull this? thank you so very much for this thread ...and, unfortunately, this giant pit that's growing in my stomach. :frustrated: I've just recently cut/weeded/masked two...

greetings from Wisconsin USA! ...just booked my flight to Prague this week! will be my first-time to visit my grandfather's homeland, can't wait!

printhead ribbon cable, and yes it is connected to your issue. the cable itself is comprised of x-amount of individual wires that aren't meant to be bridged, which is what the spilled-ink is doing within the connection. how the ink got there? its not that hard really. the ribs of the...
