    you probably have a big scab of ink on the bottom of your head. do a maintenance cleaning where the carriage goes to the far left. open the hatch and look really closely under the head with a flashlight. clean it really good. if it is dried up and crusty you can use some head cleaning...

  5. Best way to make reflective signs

    the solid 1170 will not fade or scuff as easily as the clear printed vinyl. You should probably laminate the printed clear. also the solid blues will be solid. not sure about you but i can always see a slight wave pattern when i print clears. I hate printing clears.

  12. copywrite issues

    i doubt they will go after a one off job. if you mass produce them and set up a website selling them then probably yes. it has to be an evil enterprise. i have done one off mercury boat engine decals because the factory ones are crappy and fade after about 2 years.
  13. full bleeds are curling

    please buy decent media. you need to let it sit 24hours before laminating. also on such a small piece use a calendared vinyl. all the cheap stuff will shrink back and leave adhesive residue ring around the edge. it is a small piece that will be looked at closely. it is not some large sign...

  16. Waste?

    the backer rolls from laminating we use to wrap finished foamboard posters. we also use it on the floor to keep 20 foot banner clean while we hem them together. the weeded waste goes in garbage. we try to gang it up real good so we dont have a lot of waste.
  17. Absolutely 100% Green Newbie to Printing Help Appreciated

  18. offset cutting

    try using some transfer tape on the backside to keep the letter in place. adjust blade depth so it only cuts stencil and not the transfer tape. also use the red blade holder and a cb15u blade.
