  1. Reversed Vinyl (not a plotter question)

    ? reflect should work. i just simply design per usual, and when I go to cut... I flip the graphic (reflect tool in Gerber Plot) so it cuts reverse. EDITED: o wait, i see where you can be messing up. horizontal/vertical, doesn't matter... horizontal just leaves your reflected graphic...
  2. 3M vs. Oracal- calendered vinyl comparison only please

    3551RA is gold... i use it for my flat graphics that I don't want to spend the dough on 180C. zero failures in extreme conditions, most times on bare (sanded,cleaned) aluminum but my MDO signage has held up just fine, over the years, as well.

We mainly deal with Watchfire, but have also worked with Daktronics and a few others. biggest PITA... city approvals. we currently have one 5' x 12' double-sided full color EMC up, that took the city over a year of approvals and now a business...
  8. Clogged heads - suggestions needed

    new wiper blade and a good cleaning, at the very least. hard to make out from the photo, and under all the ink, but it wasn't as clear of a scratch as I expected it to be. regardless, clean those heads!

  11. Temporary Logos on Spandex

    Ew. I really like your projection idea tho'. That's one heck of a puzzle u got there. Paint stencil and spray chalk? I'd test how good it cleans up from spandex tho, can't say I've tried it.
  12. Vertical faint lines

    +1 encoder strip behind where the head carriage travels. look for a speck of ink right above where the lines appear on the printer.

  17. Clogged heads - suggestions needed

    usually, yes, you would need alignment after reinstalling a printhead but that can wait until after you've solved your printhead problem. test prints don't require perfect alignment.
  18. Clogged heads - suggestions needed

    flushing won't cure that... you should be looking at your yellow head (and possibly a part of the cyan head) for a scratch across the nozzles. In that case, you need at least a new yellow head. I'm guessing cyan as well because it appears that the displacement carries from one pattern into the...
  19. Pricing question

    time + materials plus sales tax. travel + removal of old vinyl should be included in your install time. you'll also have to cut/prep the vinyl, of which a proper upcharge should be included in your materials price. 21 locations in 2 days? that's pretty optimistic. I'm going to guess 3 days...
