  3. 12 Or 14ft Overhead Door?

    We're planning to build an addition where we will do all of our vehicle graphic installs and I was wondering if a 14ft overhead door is necessary. We are going with a 16ft high clearance so that's not the issue, I just can't ever remember needing to wrap or letter anything over 12ft. The space...
  4. suggestions for this partial wrap

    This isn't the actual design, but it's close. My question is what makes the most sense. Printing the blue swoosh & lettering and stopping the wrap just behind the front door, or printing only the swoosh & using cut vinyl for the lettering? If you print the swoosh only, what's the best method...
  5. flexi 12/production manager L26500 - print as spot colors preference

    Is there a way to make this a default? If I print Pantone colors, I have to check the "use printer spot colors" then click on "mapping" and switch every one to print as process color. If I forget, it just prints a solid black, yellow, etc. And I keep forgetting :banghead:
  6. Who knows this one?

  7. ARMS sensor replacement

    This is actually for a Vinyl Express Q54, I picked it up used as a back up cutter knowing that the PO had problems with the ARMS. He said it used to work for him but then quit. I've read through all the work arounds of adjusting the sense levels, going over the reg. marks with a sharpie...
  8. L26500 setting base point & sheet cut on command

    I thought I read about this but can't find it here or in any manuals. Is there a way to set some sort of "base point" for the printer to start printing at? For example, if I want to test print 4 different profiles on a 54" roll, I want to print them right to left, width-wise, not length-wise...
  9. Roland CJ-500 54" Printer/Cutter w/extras $2500

    Roland CJ-500 54" Printer/Cutter still set up with pigment inks but can easily be converted to use Roland Eco-Sol Max inks. New cutter strip installed, printheads, capping station & dampers only have 57 hours of print time on them. I did have a head strike while printing canvas that clogged a...
  10. window perf troubles, pic attached

    I've ordered quite a few window perf prints from signs365 lately, I can't find on their site what product they use but I'm not impressed. The liner tears and parts stay on the print, also it doesn't lay down too well. When you look at it in the right light there are inconsistencies. From...
  11. Help with seams on a cargo van

    Working on a Ford E350 extended van. I laid it out for a horizontal seam close to the bottom. Normally I do vertical but after reading a bit I thought I'd give the horizontal seam a shot. My question is about getting the panels to line up exactly when installed. We need to install the bottom...
  12. Designing to simulate window perf?

    How is everyone doing this? If tried a few quick methods but finally wanted to create a file I could use repeatedly. So, I made a billion circles in Flexi to make the look but it keeps bogging down the program. There's gotta be an easier way, right? :banghead:
  13. in search of dark gray vinyl, darker than normal

    I have 2 customers with a really dark gray in their logo. One is Pantone Black 7c, the other is 85%K (cmyk). They are both needing vehicle graphics. One is rebranding and doing about 20 vehicles, so I want to get the colors right. I've looked through samples of Oracal, 3M, FDC & Avery, but...
  14. Mactac B-free premask or no?

    I have a bunch of windows to do in the below layout. I've never used the mactac b-free but decided to switch to it after hearing good things. This is the B-free frosted, and there will be no printing, just using it for the frosted glass look. It will be installed indoors and the complete width...
  15. 2-color cut vinyl on one premask for customer install?

    Kind of a newb question but I've never had to do this. I need to ship some cut vinyl to a customer who has no installation experience. It will be black text with a blue logo (nothing layered). What is the best way to have this ready for them to install in one piece? The graphics are only 13"h...
  16. Wrapping trailer with seams.

    This trailer has the aluminum sheets overlapping each other. Should be an easy install vs. rivets. I'm working on the layout and was looking for some input as to how to approach this. The big blank side is approx. 77"h x 237"w of useable area. It has 4 seams with 45" to 48" width between them...
  17. CJ-500 cutting curves crooked - PIC

    I have a problem when cutting small curves. My guess is something is off but not noticeable on bigger cuts. When cutting small lettering, anything that has curves gets a bit of a wobble. Here are some small circles I cut for example. Look closely. The carriage motor was bad when I first got...
  18. Mimaki JV3-160SP for parts or repair. $950 or trade for plotter

    Same old story... This unit was working before the previous owner bought a latex and shoved this into the back of the shop, unplugged! I spent some time soaking the heads & trying to clear them up but haven't had much luck. You may be able to clear them with an ultra sonic cleaner or some...
  19. CS6 - change object size by typing in number? window disappeared

    CS6 - I used to have the window at the top that would give you height and width of an object (or multiple objects selected). Then you could type in whatever size you wanted to change it to. I can't seem to find it anymore. Is it in preferences? window? kind of an illy newb here
  20. Signs 365 quality/resolution and printing photos?

    I need some big decals printed that have a companies logo and some pictures of their work. These will be installed on the recessed panels & back door of Dodge's version of a Sprinter. I have professional photographs and a vector logo but I'm concerned about the quality that signs 365 will put...
