Do you have it connected via USB? I was experiencing this issue when we first got our s80600 and when we switched from USB to a wifi connection the issue was resolved. You may need a new USB cord or better yet switch to wifi

Yeah I'm not sure either. You could reinforce it with 3m exterior grade double sided tape, that stuff seems to stay stuck lol

Could you apply an adhesive magnetic strip to the area the dates will be changed? then you could supply him with 0-9 magnetic numbers to change out as needed, or whatever days of the week, months, etc.

I mean you aren't wrong, it will do the job and look nice, just with a few caveats and a shorter lifespan. I'm in New Hampshire (basically Canada) and with temperature fluctuations throughout the year we avoid calendared whenever possible because it's more likely to get wear and tear with the...

1) The vinyl alone should be fine, the laminate is only needed for printed media that is correct 2) We use this vinyl for our cheapest, lowest quality signs. Usually temporary signs or coroplast yard signs. It's cheap, which is nice, but it's better to have a good quality product. I'd recommend...

try hitting the "media" button on the control panel, go to "media remaining" and then "remaining alert" and try messing with the settings there. You may have already tried this, it would be helpful if you could list what you have tried in regards to working with the control panel.

Unfortunately that was a plane, but I think I'm gonna tell people it was a shooting star because that sounds much cooler

I pretty much had to drive to Canada to avoid cloud coverage, but it was so worth it

We also have issues printing greys, if you use a Pantone color it should come out accurately but the CMYK can be all over the place.

I roll my media all the way back to the rollers and it prints fine 90% of the time, what is the reasoning for leaving that much? Lamination? Corners getting caught on the head? Just curious.

That's essentially what the old timer had to say haha. He said that when you do hand lettering you always cross the ends of the letters with a brush stroke in the opposite direction. The more you know :p My only participation was in making it look old and the application, so no comment haha...

I did this job recently and I thought it was pretty cool. Curious what others think. The goal was to replicate worn off painted lettering with vinyl. The old timer at my job said only real sign painters will know what I got wrong, can you tell? :big laugh: (kinda dreading finding out all the...

Make sure you're using a Pantone and it's not being converted to CMYK pre rip. I use the IJ180 CV3 Premium Cast Vinyl setting for pretty much all my printing, regardless of material. The colors always hit, but grey is tricky and will often look pink or green if a specific Pantone isn't assigned.

I rarely use Illustrator but when I do I have to assign a spot color to strokes named CutContour (exactly that) for it to be read as a cut line

What have you done so far to try to combat the banding? I'm surprised they said to buy the cleaning ink cartridges before some other steps you could try first.

I saw a huge chain of them up in New Hampshire a few weeks ago, I didn't realize there were so many. Gotta say it's a bit alarming when you aren't expecting it!

the s80600 has trouble with grays it seems. I always use a Pantone color for grays and they come out perfect, but with CMYK there can be issues. It could also be due to the profile you're using. I'd try messing around with those two options before you go for the damper.

I like the bendy 3M blue squeegees but all my coworkers hate them.

looks like my mental state whenever I find myself eating Taco Bell

Could it be that there are two blue layers? I've run into that before, whoever makes the file accidentally duplicates a layer and if it's a spot color it prints twice and is darker.
