Sounds like you were possibly misinterpreting/or getting some bad information. Curing/outgassing is only relevant for prints that you will be laminating. If the prints are not laminated, they will still be able to outgas/cure when applied to a substrate. Even if you are laminating, if you...

i usually print on a low/mid tack clear calendered vinyl for the dates. It holds up for the month or so leading up to an event, and is easily removed without any residue afterwards. No weeding, no masking and no tedious peeling of vinyl numbers and letters afterwards.

Build your cutlines with illustrator and send the files directly to production manager from illustrator. Search setting up cut files in illustrator. Importing gradients to flexi from illustrator is an exercise in torture.

yellow tools U.S. has some pretty slow turnaround times. I ordered a handful of things from them last year at the isa show and it took well over a month to get everything. I think it is just a few people running the U.S. distribution so they may be overloaded.

There are a lot of variable when it comes to specifying pantones. Are you working off of the same book as the client? Pantone + Color Bridge Coated is the best for sign making, but there are a handful of books that use the same numbers but they are printed on different stocks with different...

What are your heat settings when you are printing on the frosted? Any issues with the clear liner buckling?

design at 1:10 scale to keep your file size down. You shouldn't have working files running at 2gb, that will drag any system to a crawl.

Seems that the color bars did the trick, thanks for all the tips.

Talked to hp, they suggested printing color bars when doing long runs to keep all the heads wet. He suggested that the heat and long periods of inactivity for a dark head while printing a light background, or vice versa, might cause some drying out of the inactive heads during the print. Which...

Well, that only lasted an hour or so. it is back to doing it again, any other suggestions? :banghead:

did an alignment and replaced one head, all the cartridges are more than half full. Seems good on the test run, time to fire it back up.

As the hp hits a solid block of color that is different from the background it is slowly fading to full saturation, anyone seen this? Any ideas on fixing it? It happens at all pass levels.

Thank you for the detailed response, that is very helpful and makes perfect sense. I will just run through a handful of current profiles until i find something suitable.

might be a bad roll of material. It happens once in a great while.

I can't get the eye one to read the reflective. Every time I press the button to measure the test it tells me to recalibrate the eye one. I then recalibrate to a white tile, and try again with the same results, can anyone help me on this?

$12/hr, I would have interviewed the person first to determine if they are competent. Part of being the person doing the hiring is being able to judge peoples strengths and weaknesses within the confines of an interview, or two if you aren't sure after the first. If you are regretting hiring...

I find a good way to achieve a faster output is to tell them exactly how long i anticipate it should take to complete a task. If they don't finish in time, let them know that their goal for the next one is to get it closer to the goal time. When the goal time is achieved you acknowledge it...

I would say if you have an out of the way place to keep them there is no harm in holding on to it. If you are hurting for space, mail a letter that states they need to make a decision within x number of days before you will be disposing of the product. You can send the letter certified mail...

Durst all the way.
