We recently learned that we can print on canvas material on our solvent printer, we've gotten a lot of interest just from other employees here, so we ordered a roll to try it out. The prints look GREAT, however we do not have current supplier for the frames that you stretch it onto. We've looked...

I have a client; a local police department, that recently had someone (Hopefully it was none of you!) do some hideous artwork for their uniform patch. The vendor did the artwork "for free" with their order of patches. (see where this is going?) Now, they want some small decals printed with the...

Similar to the issues discussed in the thread "the old switcheroo" so I stole the thread title... Our last couple boxes of the "double H" step-stakes for signs have been made with an inferior grade of metal than we are used to seeing. The stakes bend over with mild winds & the signs stay there...

I have two upcoming projects for wrapping the inside of box ambulances. I know "in theory" how I think I am going to go about it, but would love to hear from someone else who has done it before. Has anyone? It seems like just about all flat surfaces, but making everything meet up on 4 sides...

Here is a regular customer of mine. Normally they do their ambulances in Metallic Blue & Silver; but an employee lost the battle against breast cancer - so they decided to dedicate an ambulance in her memory. They liked the look so much that they changed another one to a similar motif. The rear...

I've recently ran into a problem with receiving a shipment of laminate that I thought would be commonplace... When I print with my EdgeFX onto materials, I laminate with 3M 8519 that comes in 13.5" rolls from my supplier. However, last time I ordered about 8 rolls - so it's been a while...

Has anyone wrapped the rear of a Leaf here? I have the PVO template & it is not correct at all, the vehicle is quite a ways away from my shop; so I cannot go measure it myself; yesterday my installer called with the bad news that the vinyl was too small... so I'm getting ready to reprint a...

The little black media smoother that is close to the right side of the printer occasionally seems to be contacting with my print head. I haven't had any problem resulting from it, but I just wanted to see if there was any reason that I should NOT take it out of the printer for "just in case"...

I left the printer to finish up a wrap on the take-up reel last night, came in this morning & the print is finished on the reel without problems. (YEAH!) However..... The pink light is flashing on the machine. The error message on the screen reads: NO CARTRIDGE - INSTALL INK CARTRIDGE (and...

We've been struggling with a "cheapo Chinese laminator" for years now, it's time to upgrade. What features and/or models would you recommend? Our printer is a GS6000, but we have not had to laminate anything wider than 54" media, so a 54" laminator is what we're looking for. One of our...

Recently my Illustrator started saving two copies of all files. Now, every time I make a new file I have that file and another file in the folder called "filename_01.eps" in the folder also. I cannot remember changing any preferences and do not see any to change about my saving preferences...

Customer comes into the office, saying they need a logo designed for their trucks, trailer, signs, etc. Usually, you tell them your price for the artwork/design fee; this "new customer" also happens to be a local sheriff & good friend of the owner; just needing something for his horse farm...

I have a customer that needs a new set of the changeable letters "alphabet" for their illuminated sign. I've bought them years ago, and remember them being ridiculously expensive but not who I bought them from; does anyone have a recommendation of who supplies them?

I have been having off and on problems with my FC8000. Does anyone know how to work on these things around here without it costing a fortune? I am calling my suppliers now to get quotes, but not looking forward to what I'm expecting to hear... I need to be back up and running as soon as...

...but it's not coming to mind. Any of you have an answer?

I have been using my Edge FX to print onto thermal transfer (Siser Colorprint II & Siser Colorprint Extra) with no problems for a while. Now I have a job in that requires a few different selected colors be printed - one of them a light blue. I have tried just printing Cyan & Transparent...
