Might try copying the image to a new page, then exporting it to versa. I had a couple of files from another PC and it would come up corrupted. Tried this and it worked. Dave

I think it's your print/cut length settings. Not for sure, but I think you have to enter a length that will be longer than your print or you'll get this. Even though your default is set to xx", if the print is longer, the printer will not just stop, it will readjust and keep printing the...

I would think there's a seem or overlap in the aluminum somewhere on the sides where you'll be cutting a relief so the vinyl won't lift. I would start at the closest seam towards the front and continue the stripe forward.I also would overlap it. I do stripes like these on the hoods of tow...

You really need to slow down and read your manual for the printer. Most of your posts can be figured out just knowing your machine. 1. I always remove the knife when printing banners. No need to have it in there possibly taking a chance of scratching the media. 2. If the media starts to...

If you're using Versa in the layout page there's a box to check that says "Center image on Media" Dave

When we moved we just parked the head and used the attachment that came with the machine to lock it down. Also remove the ink waste bottle and put the cap on where the bottle goes. After you get to the new location, hook the printer up and run a test print a couple of times. Don't want to...

You wouldn't be saying these things if my Dad/Uncle was standing there. We better leave Mosh's thread alone. By the way, good looking girl Mosh. My youngest daughter will be going to her senior prom next month. And no, she isn't also my neice. :) Dave

Good looking sign and clean install. What's up next, the Pizza sign in the back ground? Dave

Watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked for five years before I found the "perfect" building. I leased for those five years. The contract was for the same $$/mo for all five years. When the contract was ready to expire, the landlord wanted us to re-up for another five. I told him I would only go for a year at a time with no...

Call all your customers and bad mouth your old shop. Dave

We did quite well with the political signs this year. Some we outsourced, others we did in-house. We charged the same price for both. To date we've done signs for 8 different people running for office. We have a talk radio show in town where the host invites anyone running for office on his...

We are the exception to the rule. We have two employees. One for now because one is off for medical reasons. Anyhow, we pay them for lunch. Also, if they have a doctor's appointment and can't get it after work hours, we let them go and come back and pay them while their gone. $300 Christmas...

I have the same machine. It's about 7 years old. I've only had to change one black head, the encoder strip 4 times, and the cut carriage cable 3 times. Have never changed the caps, dampers, or any boards. Other than the usual like wipers, sponges, blades, etc. this machine has made me plenty of...

This is the reason we have a big sticker on the printer Saying " Did you check the ink level this morning?" Dave

Welcome from down the road in Wheeling, WV. I have relatives in Dover and go up there quite often. Might look you up sometime. Dave

Heard somewhere, maybe on here, that Easy Off oven cleaner will make the vinyl shrivel up and all you have to do is scrape it off. It was also stated not to let it sit too long because it will damage the clear coat on the vechicle. I've been too chicken to try it, so don't have hands on...

Want to say thanks to Mike for all his help and great service he provided to our shop. We're down a couple of employees so I had to out source some jobs. Sent the info to another of our wholesalers and their printer took a dump. Put a post on here and FatCat [thanks] suggested Mike @...

There's a search function at the top of the page. Drop it down and type in what you're problem is. I think it will bring up posts pertaining to it. Head strikes are caused mainly from your media not laying flat on your platten. Too much heat, media running off. pinch rollers on backwards...

Do a search. Most people don't like to hear this right off the get go, but it will help more if you don't get your hand held. From what you're discribing and with no pictures to actually see, it sounds like a head strike. some things to look at: Is the media buckling from the heat in the...
