I've been printing for about 5 years, most jobs do not require laminating (temp wall coverings in secure galleries) so I have little experience on my Royal Sovereign cold laminator 54" I have worked out how to feed it without bubbles and wrinkles, how to get a good lam, but the skewing is...

I've been trying to make one and adjust the one Briteline provided, but can't get that sweet spot. Material gets too hot and stretches a lot.... I have a HP latex 315 and using onyx most of the time Flexi sometimes.

I am really stupid when it comes to tiling out jobs for walls with corners. My brain just cant think straight when there is a mural that needs to go around a corner or double back. I have learned to leave 2" bleed on all sides and to overlap corners with 2". My problem is the math, I get so...

I got a 315 that can get really cranky and print midtones pink. Always pink and its always a printhead issue either LMLC or YM. I have come to accept that printheads go faster than they are supposed to in my shop, maybe cause it gets hot in the summer and I am not always there to turn on AC. Who...

I been printing for 3-4 years now, I have struggled with how best to pack my prints because my customers do not require lamination so I am limited by how much I can move them around. My current process is to lay them out on a very clean floor or table. I then make sure all the edges are...

I got a HP latex 315. Every now and again, basically every 2-4 months of printing about 100-150 feet per month on average my HP will start printing greys with a pinkish hue. I usually print on 3m white vinyl, or Britline white vinyl, sometimes on phototex. Here is what I have tried: Head...

Ive been searching for a window frost for a massive job, I need about 200 feet by 48". Neither Grimco, Fellers or Glantz seems to have it all saying there is none on backorder either. Anyone out there have a good lead on this material? I need something that frosts the window white so its...

Recently I have had inconsistent weeds. I mostly cut large section texts for museums so lots of 1/2-3/4" sans serif letters. I use a graphtec and mostly Oracal matte material. This last job was cutting on Oracal 751 had it perfectly dialed in on the previous job, cut the new job and lost about...

I'm starting to get larger and larger LF print orders. I like to line up my tiles to make sure they are matching. I currently do this on the floor because my tiles range between 50-55" so on the table just doesn't work as my table is 60" x 12'. I'm thinking to get clamps and clamp prints at the...

HP 315 latex 54" printer. I’m having banding issues with my HP 315 It started happening on a few recent prints, I ran cleanings, alignment, test plots, nozzle tests, and color calibrations. All seemed normal. I printed solid CMYK squares and they printed with very little banding. So I...

I have a museum client that is going green. They asked about more green materials. I recall seeing a company at SIGA 2019. Any vendors out there or any signmakers know of anything like this that exists?

I am considering buying one. Just wondering what the general sign making communities thoughts are on this machine. https://thewallprinter.com/en/ Thoughts, experience, wait and see?

I am interested in outsourcing silkscreen wall text for clients. Does anyone out there still practice this way of signmaking? Dave

I have turned away too many clients for jobs that are needed as cut lettering but too small to do as cut lettering. What is this process and what machine makes it possible? https://unikportrait.com/products/3d-transfer-labels

I have an HP latex 315 I am running ONYX. A couple months ago I printed about 2000 stickers for a client on 3M ij35c. The bleed border and base (lightest parts) were color matched from the color matching system. The overall image came out perfect and had a purple tone to it. Today the client...

Looking for some large format installers in NYC area. We geenrate about 30-60k in installations a year. Need people who are proficient in indoor murals and floor murals.

I am printing on a HP 315 latex via ONYX. I'm making a mural with about 11 tiles, its an image that repeats so the tile numbering is crucial to installing it. I set it up in marks to print the Row# the Column# and the overlap. I did not check "copy information". The first two tiles that printed...

I have a client who does not want to use a floor lamination. So the risks to the client are that someone could slip and sue, so I want to absolve myself of that liability, Anyone out here have a generic legal waiver to that effect?

I have an HP latex 315. A while ago I made a print of about 10 tiles 50" x 10 feet on each tile. On the last tile it did not line up vertically The last tile was about 2" off in height. I was able to work around it as it was a line graphic (not a photograph) and have found by reading threads...

I am new to wrapping. I have explored 3M, and Orafol products. I have a car I'd like to practice on until I am proficient. I am looking for vendor or product recommendations as I have only come up with these 2 so far and I know there are more from the trade shows I have been to but I lost all my...
