Dirty encoder wheel?

Can you benefit from rotating every other panel or is the shift consistent from side to side?

I would test one of the following: General Formulations Moto Mark FlexMark Billboard RTS MacTac HTO Motomark is probably the most agressive. Moto Mark and FlexMark RTS both have a really thick adhesive which will help to adhere to this product. I would not claim for either to last over year...

If the profiles for your rip/media are accurate, you should try to running with lab values. L: 42 A: 18 B: -58

Ultramount already has the adhesive applied at the factory. Look into it for your foam boards.

I am not sure why illustrator is more limited in what sizes it can rasterize as opposed to the rest of the creative suite. I like working in illustrator for complex layouts so I deal with it. You can save your AI file as a PDF. Acrobat will export tiffs at a higher resolution than you can get...

Fred, Crisis averted. I made it through with ink to spare. This thread can be deleted if you like.

We are running a big job this weekend that keeps getting bigger. I am in Danger of running out of some of my light colors and / or yellow. Would anyone with an GS6000 in the Orlando Florida area be willing to trade out, sell or loan GS6000 ink this weekend if I run into problems?

Congratulations! That is really cool. I have been entertaining the idea of bee keeping as a future hobby.

Sorry, but I've got to stick it to you PC guys here. On a mac, smart quotes and special characters are handled with corded strokes. Its just as easy as typing a capital letter Open quotes are “option > left bracket” Close quotes are “option > shift > left bracket”

No, unfortunately, the Z printer is super slow and the resulting models are fragile. The finished medium is similar to plaster. I like Dimension's 3D printers better although they cost a lot more. http://www.dimensionprinting.com/3d-printers/3d-printing-sst.aspx The resulting models are very...

3M 3647 will fit the bill I believe. It is the most heavily textured slip resistant product I know of.

What rip will you be using with your latex printer? Can you describe your current work flow in more detail? Generally speaking, I think you will have to purchase an extra print driver for your rip if I am understanding you correctly. Set up your second driver to rip to tiff or pdf with enough...

Any transit vinyl would be ok like Busmark, MacTac Digitrans, or 3M IJ 36 would work. Lexjet makes a product that might be worth a try called simple low tac. It would probably be easier for the layman to install than the above.

To the original poster: Act with uncompromising honesty, integrity and respect. Let your printers know what your expectations are and be clear on what you are providing. If you do so, everyone on this forum will be happy to see you walk in the door. If you come in with a briefcase, a suit, a...

Load the vinyl. create a couple of notches with a razor blade on the left and right side of the media using a straight edge on your machine as a reference. Print a few inches of your graphic for testing when you get around to printing the back side. Advance the media a few inches and create...

Does anyone know of a blockout tyvek material for UV printing? I have a client for whom I print short term lamp post banners. They want to switch from vinyl to tyvek. Does this even exist?

The GS 6000 ink carts are 950 ml so keep that in mind when considering ink cost. I monitor my ink cost through my rip software and I am typically around $.19 per sqft for most of the full coverage work I produce.

Billboards need to pass the 60/60 quality test. Which means they need to look good from 60' while traveling 60 mph. If you are incorporating images, 10 ppi at final size is usually passable but I try to get 25-30 ppi if possible. Be sure to include 4" of bleed. Most billboards need 3" but 4" are...
