We had finish problems with our last Gemini order too. It's so out of character, I wonder if they are having staffing issues like a lot of other companies.

We punch the vacuum holes out with a pushpin every so often to clear any dried ink.

My first inclination is wrap it since it would be the lightest application. As an alternative, since it’s a tilt up door and not a roll-up, you could use a banner with industrial Velcro. It goes on a lot faster than either a wrap or panels and be much less expensive to change graphics every few...

What wall thickness on the tube?

Welcome from Houston Texas. I’m always looking to connect with other local shops.

One way we’ve handled it is by adding a non-printing box the size of the substrate. Then put an oversized sheet of styrene on the laser and cut the box and use the matrix left on the laser as a registration template.

Reds are tough. We paid Mike Adams at Correct Color to build color matched profiles for 2 printers. One thing we learned in the process was head temp made a big difference in magenta saturation. Recommended max temp is 48, we run magenta at 52. We now get great reds at 300 - 2 pass

We also use Caldera with our TruFire.

Global Garage is a used equipment marketplace.

Digitech makes a solid printer. We are very happy with ours. They run flawlessly 8-10 hours a day and ink costs are excellent.

When I first got in the business there were 3 Sign painters on staff. It seemed like magic watching them take a sketch and hand paint a sign. There are still a few around here mostly doing temporary graphics on retail windows during the Holidays.

Houston is a great city for sign companies. Good luck, let me know if I can help.

A friend of mine got almost exactly the same request 2 years ago. Definitely suspicious.

Put it on Craigslist as siding for a deer blind

Has anyone heard why both FEDEX and UPS websites are down this morning?

The HP printers are sensitive to voltage. We had to put in a buck boost for our HP 360 and HP 570 after the third board replacement. Power here runs 240 with regular surges. We haven’t had an issue since adding the buck boost. That was a few years ago and they didn’t check power at...

2 things to check. The temperature could be too high and drying ink on the nozzles. It could also be the head height is too high and overspray is collecting back on the heads.

We usually run better material, but with supplies they way they have been recently, we have run low end material with the hairs because it was all we could find. So far no issues with the heads. If you run it, keep an eye on your prints because the hairs will get stuck on the carriage and drag...
