  2. Short term removable reflective?

    That may be a good option. I am putting temporary lettering on a fire truck until I can get the gold leaf ready to install. The removable reflective would work perfect, but I may just use regular removable vinyl and not worry about putting reflective over top because it doesn't technically have...
  3. Short term removable reflective?

    Well it appears that this material has been discontinued... any other ideas?
  4. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    That was my first thought, but the scratches line up perfectly with the two spots on the print head.
  5. Short term removable reflective?

    Thank you sir! That is the exact material I was looking for!
  6. Short term removable reflective?

    I am looking for short term removable reflective vinyl, preferably 15" punched. I remember seeing it somewhere, I just can't find it now that I need it.
  7. Falcon Jr Parts

    I am selling a whole complete Falcon Junior. Everything is working with the exception of the color print head, I refurbished it and got a bad print head so I have decided to sell it instead of buying another print head. I wasn't planning on parting it out but you can PM me if you're interested.
  8. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    This is a picture of one of the spots on the printhead: And these are pictures from the print test. One block is normal and the other was set to "light" because I don't think there is an option for 50% in flexi. You have to hold the print in just the right light to see the "scratches", but...
  9. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    I will run the test first thing in the morning and report back. The funny part about this is none of this happened until after I took the printer to the "tune up" promotion Gerber was running. I got it back in the shop and noticed the first "scratch" in the prints. I just figured it was dust...
  10. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    I have never had a blown pixel though so I could be wrong. I just thought it would be more pronounced, I didn't think that was something that laminating would fix?
  11. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    I don't think they are pixel blow outs, I don't have any lines missing in the print- just the two scratches. Once I laminate the prints they are fine. It looks more like debris stuck to the head.
  12. Printed gold leaf

    This is the old thread: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?117895-Printed-quot-Gold-Leaf-quot I think I am pretty happy with the pattern, the swirl marks need to be a little more pronounced but other than that it looks really close to my real hand laid gold. What I don't like is the...
  13. Specs on Gerber Edge printhead

    I noticed the prints coming off of my Edge have two faint scratches in them running the length of the material. After checking the wipers I looked at the printhead and found two very small specs of something stuck to the printhead... they are smaller than the tip of a ball point pen. Wiping the...
  14. Manufacturer Refurbished Printhead?

    I was going to post a link to the ebay listing, but it is no longer there. So I guess there is a good possibility it was a scam...
  15. Printed gold leaf

    I posted a while back asking for suggestions on how to make a printed imitation of real hand laid and turned gold leaf. I have never been satisfied with the seamless tile fills or even AlienSkin's version, it just doesn't look like the real thing. I got some great suggestions in the original...
  16. Bubbles in 5600 reflective

    No they weren't in any kind of lines, they were random. On the second side after I noticed the problem I used a brand new squeegee.
  17. Bubbles in 5600 reflective

    Pictures of the job: I just thought of this, but the sides of this truck may be plastic- if it is what is called a "wet side" tank the poly tank is a one piece full width design that isn't sheeted with aluminum. Either way it is still painted just like the rest of the truck, so I wouldn't...
  18. Bubbles in 5600 reflective

    So today I went to do an install on an airport fire truck. It should have been a simple install... two color logo on the front doors using Oracal metallic silver with black Oracal 5600 on top, and then a two part logo on the sides of the tank using more black 5600 and printed/laminated 5600 in...

  20. Best settings for printing a gradient on the Edge?

    Thank you all for the quick help! Converting to a bitmap and adding noise did help somewhat, but opened up some other issues. Flexi actually has a ton of settings and options for gradients when you dig into it, so by playing with all of those I found something that I think works very well...
