  1. Can I print on this stuff?

    o, well if its that many then you may as well get some proper material... Sihl SyntiSOL PP Film EasyTack 300 this stuff is low-tack, but has been stuck to my shop wall for the past 6 months and have moved it to different walls along the way. No curls/lifting. i could imagine it should hold up...
  2. Can I print on this stuff?

    Shoot, maybe just laminate a sheet of transfer tape with your digital print if you need to mcguyver a temp overlay. No need to order a roll of material at that point
  3. 8 pass is purple!

    that's the culprit! black printhead! +1 to your print being purple because your printhead isn't laying the black ink on top of the magenta ink properly to make the color your profile is specifying. printing at 4pass/8pass may reflect differences because your printhead will use different lines...
  4. Can I print on this stuff?

    if you have a solvent printer, you most likely can pull it off. latex as well. eco-solvent, not so much. there's also plenty of low-tack vinyl out there that's made for any printer.

  8. Mimaki Head error 007

    power-down your machine, unplug from wall, and press your power button a couple of times to discharge any stored energy. then unplug the cables from the head that's throwing the error code and reseat them properly. may have just come loose?
  9. 8 pass is purple!

    pix of test print, 4-pass color, and the "purple" 8-pass color.
  10. Mimaki Head error 007

    done anything out of the ordinary with your printer lately? I think that's the code I received when I accidentally flip-flopped the two ribbon cables on one of my heads during an install.
  11. 8 pass is purple!

    posting pics also helps us help you too.
  12. 8 pass is purple!

    channel - ink line. like my mimaki jv3 has 4 printheads and 8 channels each controlled by their own ribbon cable.
  13. 8 pass is purple!

    what does the nozzle print test look like? my money's on you're missing a block on one of your channels
  14. Wanting to buy a printer!!!

    if not finding a job at a sign shop... outsource your prints. learn how to build a client-base and what you need to charge to make a profit before "diving in" to printing. whatever you think you're going to spend on a used setup.... double, or even triple, the cost. someone's selling it cheap...
  15. White Cotton Gloves???

    i get 12 pairs for $7 at Blain's Farm & Fleet. Great for polishing installed projects and clients have praised the "white glove treatment".
  16. Smokin'-wrap

    hopefully not a duplicate thread, but came across this and thought it was a pretty slick idea :) curious if its exhaust fumes or a built-in fog machine, bonus points for the former.
  17. Room temperature for laminating

    hot, cold, humid, doesn't matter. cold laminate is just clear vinyl, and will stick just fine without heat. "heat assist" won't really warm your media, but it softens the adhesive of the laminate and helps it "flow" better. "silvering" comes out with care during application, but I have yet to...
  18. Room temperature for laminating

    mid-50's lows? shoot, i can't imagine you would have a problem. mainly need to keep the space clean/dust-free. if anything, store your media in a controlled environment and bring it out to the laminator as needed. also, get a cold laminator with "heat assist". 100degree rollers help eliminate...
  19. mounting plastic letters to glass block?

    tabs of thick double-sided tape (thickness is KEY), VHB thickness being a minimum. And smears/dabs of 100% silicone caulk between the tabs. If you use thin double-sided tape, you spread the silicone too thin and its worthless.
