Should be an easy one? Help is appreciated!!

I'm looking for someone to do some gold leaf and hand lettering in Central Oregon—if anyone does such a thing. What's the best way to locate someone? Every shop I've called just comments on how that's "old school."

We were having trouble with a print, splotchy ink, bleeding between colors. I had our team replace an aging optimizer head. It pops this out. Yikes! This looks worse. What would cause this? HP Latex370 Calendered Vinyl (never had issues with this media) Any ideas?

Our 570 has colors bleeding into each other. Saturation settings don't seem to have an effect--even at 50% color were bleeding but print was really losing saturation. What causes this?

I'm looking for an ADA vendor who can handle all types of architectural/ADA/wayfinding signage. Below are some of the more basic requested designs, but project also includes wayfinding elements that have various components that would require waterjet/laser cut aluminum, router cutting, etc...

We installed some contour cut wrapping vinyl on fairly rough cedar. It's peeling and now we're wondering if there is any way to save the graphic or abate the peeling, even if just for a few weeks. When originally installed, we hit it with some 3M edge sealer. Some edges are fine, while other are...

There was a company I worked with long ago that had a modular post and panel system that worked great for signs as small as 36" x 24". It was mainly based off aluminum extrusions, end caps, and then panels to comprise the sign itself. Does anyone know of a system similar that they could recommend?

We just replaced a new large cartridge on our 370 with a full one. The printer seems to think it's empty. We've tried unplugging and replacing multiple times, but the screen keeps saying 0.0L and "Empty." Anyone have any experience with this? at the same time our color seems to be...

Hello, We have a 370 and a 570. I understand we'll likely not get consistent color between the two across all medias, however everything that comes off the 570-every material, every print-seems to have a magenta hue to it. Everything is a little warmer, or a lot warmer, depending on your level...

I recently replaced the door to our spectrophotometer (the little black plastic hook busted off) and also replaced the door actuator (the cause of the break). With all that working fine, I set out to calibrate some media, as it hadn't been done in months and our prints seem to be coming out...

Our 570 is a pill to print static cling on. Currently trying to print reverse on clear and have both wavy lines from the rollers and two long streaks of head strikes. Lowering the heat seems to help with the head strikes, but then the print won't dry. I'm using a 10-12 pass profile so that the...

Does anyone know of a good vendor to get custom LED interior promo signs made. Something kind of like you would see in a bar. I have attached a sample even closer to what we are looking for. Does anyone create these? 3'-4' wide. 10-15 signs total.

We are creating a fairly simple, low cost overhead sign. I'm looking for some basic hardware to mount it to an overhang (see image). I checked Sign Bracket Store and poked around Outwater, but didn't find anything that would work well. Also looked at Grimco, but they didn't have much. Any...

Hello, Trying to cut some small (3/8" lc, 1/2" UC) lettering on our Summa S2 T160. The letters aren't cutting cleanly, and weeding isn't making anyone around here happy. See attached image. It looks like it's ripping around curves. Letters aren't coming out cleanly, and I swear our old Graphtec...

Our Summa started cutting poorly so I went to unscrew and lift the knife. The holder came out, but the blade is stuck in the cutting head. I cannot get it out from below, and can no longer push the holder in to get it out through the top. Trying to get the silver part of the blade holder out...

Hello, I'm hoping to get a recommendation on a product that would allow us to blind mount about a dozen 6" x 6" ACM signs for tenant identification on outdoor units. We would want to be able to switch them out without damaging the exterior of the building. I think they're a little to small for a...

Hello, We typically outsource our metal work to a fab shop. They closed their doors a while back, and we've been unsuccessful in finding a place to send our metal work. I've contemplated handling some of the easier metal work in-house. I've welded in the past, as have some of our employees...

We're running a HP 370, and have a reoccurring issue. This time we're printing a longer project that has a darker green on it. over the course of about 3 feet it lightens up and then is a slightly banded lighter green. So a head must be going bad right? Check the heads, none are above 3,000...

We're experiencing issues with our latex printers. Currently we run both a 370 and a 570. Neither seem to be able to produce consistent colors. For example, a recent wrap had each panel printing progressively lighter, which wasn't noticed until they were laminated and laid out next to each...

I'm looking to create 1,000 of the attached "tags," 125 each of 8 files. I'm thinking screen printing would be the best approach, but open to options. Please note - UV flatbed has been tried and rejected due to lack of clarity/color, hence my thoughts on screen printing. They are 3" x 1-3/4"...
