  1. Does my customer have a dirty mind ? ?

    LOL You could not have made that as well if you had done it on purpose. SC
  2. Ugly truck with stupid body lines..in my opinion

    That is nothing compared to the new Ford Transit Custom. Even the lines you think are level are not! It is as if the designers have made a car derived commercial vehicle. The Transit Custom only looks good wrapped or with no graphics at all. At least your truck has some sort of levelness! SC
  3. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    Cheers for that but sadly the client hasn't a clue what they want!!!! I have just spent 4 hours designing something to what specs they gave me and now they "Just don't know"! I wish their was an app that was available to get out what is in someone's head!!!!!! SC
  4. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    I am looking for some cake design artwork for a customers car. The customer supplied me this picture of a vehicle they have seen on the internet. Does anyone know where to get such artwork? Cheers SC
  5. I quit a year ago, but now I'm back to Signmaking, questions..

    Getting back to the question asked.....- In answer to your issues... 100% payment either up font or on day of completion, whichever one you feel comfortable with. I normally find if the client can't afford the whole bill before the job proceeds, I am 100% certain they will not be at the end of...
  6. wind load on signs

    I had a similair issue with a job many years ago. it was a 45'x10' Aluminium sign on three 8" wide posts. In the end I got my ground engineer friend to work out wind loadings etc. but this did not help for what happened next. The sign was sited on a small hill and on the day the sign was fitted...
  7. Terrible Print Quality - Need Help Troubleshooting

    I didn't even realise this machine existed!! When was the manufacturing date as their is very little info on it anywhere? It seems a very over complex machine especially having 12 print heads and by the videos I have seen of it in action very very slow print speeds. I do not want to sound harsh...
  8. 3M IJ-180C for Wraps

    Our favourite wrap material at the moment. Super conformable and takes a lot of beating. This material maybe a little overkill on a flat panel trailer unless it is covered in rivets and fixings. SC
  9. "Ink Near End" - What do?

    Firstly I thought the 1204 was superseded a long time ago (2008/9) by the 1304 and now the 1324. But it seems to come up on Mutohs US web site so it must be still sold over there. Secondly unlike the bigger 1604, 1614 and 1624 with subtanks the 1204 does not have internal ink subtanks. Meaning...
  10. Customers wants me to install this.....

    I have come across this stuff on truck deflectors. So it must be strong stuff. SC
  11. Possibly time for a new printer.... suggestions.

    I think on the latex machines you have to replace heads every six months. But they are a lot cheaper......but for how long? SC
  12. Possibly time for a new printer.... suggestions.

    We are also in the stages of sorting a new printer to replace our vj1604 or run alongside. We originally looked at the 1304 but I am glad we went for the bigger machine. But on looking at what is new and innovative their is very little that is new. Unless you are moving into latex printers I...
  13. Looking for Real Tree

    Hi all thanks for the advise but I am in the UK. It would not be wise especially if I damaged a panel and I had not printed it myself. I am not keen on using another design as the customer has insisted it has to be real tree. I am looking at the aurora graphics stuff but it is a lot more...
  14. mutoh vj 1304 head replacment

    I have not done a head replacement on the valuejet personally but I have watched it being done and would feel confident to replace one myself. Their is very little adjustment required as all 4 colours are on the same head. I would replace the whole maintenance station as the pump and wiper...
  15. Looking for Real Tree

    I have a client who wants his Toyota Hilux completley wrapped in Real Tree. Either APG, Xtra Green or Xtra. Does anyone know where I will be able to purchase this artwork? SC
  16. Laptop vs Desktop

    The answer to this question is Desktop all day long. I have had a number of laptops over the years and all have had failures that resulted in the machine been uneconomical to repair. At least with a desktop if a video card, network card or PSU goes down you can replace with a new one. Doing...
  17. Mimaki JV3 Help - Head won't print, capping station won't fill

    Hi Lauren I have a JV3 3 head machine like yours that I have been playing around with for the last year. Which has given me a lot of experience on how these machines work. By the looks of thing your Black and Magenta head is not getting any ink pulled though by the pump as the cap is clean...
  18. temorary wrap on powder coated metal?

    I would wrap with the 3M material as it comes of clean. As I say wrapping anything, "it is only as good as the surface you are applying it to". If the materials are flaky it will not work. On a sub note even if these are a temporary wrap they should be priced the same as normal. I had a...
  19. Anybody ever use 180C on ATV Plastics?

    Substance is like Convex material which is used for low energy PVC panels on ATV and MotoX machines. But I firmly believe you will not be able to complete wrap with it as once the laminate is applied to the material it is a lot thicker than wrap material. I do not think their is a self adhesive...
