Let me say what you don't want to hear first: you should have matched the vinyl to the ribbon material. Running a test when working with new material should always come before running the whole job. Next, you haven't said what vinyl you are currently using. That might be useful in trying to...

Clean it with a surface prep for plastics like Solv S1000 or Supply55 AP3155

Is there a difference between the White, Black and Silver squeegees besides color? Is one color softer than the others or harder than the others?

We have a few Oshee 100% felt squeegees. I never found them useful, though I am certain other folks like them.

We do wrap the hard edge of our squeegees with 3M Teflon tape. Really like that when using for wraps. But we use the same squeegee felt of Velcro fuzz on the other edge. And we use the same squeegees for everything (which tend to be hard instead of flexible). But I will say the slightly softer...

We love the Blue Avery Squeegees with felt. When the felt wears out we pull it off and coat with tightly woven Velcro fuzz. they are expensive and hard to find now, so started buying red wrap squeegees from Cobra. https://cobrawraptools.com/product/cobra-wrap-squeegee-2/ They make one with...

A lot depends on the paint. Full cure on paint is usually 30 days - that is off gassing has stopped. Best to always do a test to see if it will stick or which to use. We have used 3164HT Mac Tac Rebel 528 High Tack, and General Formulations 226HTR (high tack and removable, love this stuff) and...

Calendared is the formation process for basic vinyl. It is a process by which the material is flattened into shape. Another word is Intermediate. Most calendared vinyls are less dimensionally stable as they have a manufactured memory and tend to attempt to return to their initial shape...

We print it on our UV flatbed all the time - of course it doesn't move as it would for a hybrid printer. We use Solv S1000 to prep and clean the plastic and print. never had an issue. As others have said, lower heat or increase passes. On ours we can set the LED lamp intensity, so if your lamps...

We off gas for 2 hours or overnight if printing late in the day. Main thing is the prints are dry to the touch completely. We usually use a premium vinyl profile, though we do have one specifically for Arlon SLX as well

Photo would be helpful... Is it over a compound curve or rivets? after pressure washing, did you clean with alcohol to remove detergent residue?

We have the FluidColor R84F with one row of heads CMYKW and love it. Looking at the Vanguard VKM600t-HS the biggest advantages are the 50x99" print area (for full bleeds on 4x8 materials) and adding up to three rows of heads for speed. Both have LED lamps and anti-static bars (which you will...

He may be fishing to see if he can get a few more dollars off. I would let him know you have already given him your B2B discount. True also that 10 sqft is a very small amount to expect a big discount

Bubbles are installer error as well. This is your business and not a settlement, so if you want to keep your customer and have them spread good things about you then you should stand behind your work and be willing to correct most of these things. As to Cracks, all manufacturers offer a material...

FWIW, we have the same machine and I highly recommend against using a filter in the chiller - had one fail during a heavy ink job with both lamps on, lead to an ink line melting and a mess. FluidColor says you don't really need to use a filter as long as you change the water and and use a...

Two tips on things that worked for us: 1. rasterize the doctor 2. ungroup the doctor Don't try both, just one at a time. There is an issue going on in the RIP that is causing this. Most likely the desired color is a screen percentage of a color and the screen drops out. Sometimes grouping...

Both are good but I favor the FC series as they put more down force and cut reflective with ease. The 8600 was discontinued in favor of the 9000 series. Here are some old threads about this: https://www.signs101.com/threads/graphtec-ce6000-120-or-fc8600-130.129753/...
