  1. Customer wet applied wrap material

    Agree with the others on edge taping.... trim it and add the tape. But yeah - if a customer gets graphics that they want to install themselves we always tell them that the warranty ends the second we hand them the material with a quick explanation why.
  2. DMCA takedown notice phishing scheme

    Even taking the end off the URL - the luhuhu domain by itself just redirects and forcibly downloads a .js Javascript file.... I'm taking it apart out of curiosity. So far though it tries to use WMI (Windows Management Interface) calls to determine your network map and then attach and map your...
  3. Pinch Rollers not detected on cutter

    I've been using Flexi for 20 years and have never heard of Flexi having any sort of ability to update the firmware on a device before??? Its an independent software not specifically related to any brand of hardware (sometimes gets a limited version bundled with some devices though). Typically...
  4. mimaki cjv150 print head and pump problem

    Likely will not be any issues with it. We have a JV150 (basically the same printer without the cutter is all) that sat in its crate in our bay for 3 years before we finally opened it up and it works perfectly fine and the bay sometimes will have large temperature swings from as low as about 45...
  5. What are some ways to show gratitude to past clients?

    For a few specific customers who you get to know well and you know something specific they like then a more personal gift can be excellent. As an example but coming to me - I had mentioned at some point in conversation with our old Fellers sales rep (Ann Poole - she was totally awesome) that I...
  6. What material is this?

    Either hand laid gold on sizing or possibly Realgold (or Signgold) Florentine would be a good substitute.....
  7. Possible bad batch of 3M 180CV3

    Well ours was finally resolved.... sent 3M samples (they provided a shipping label) of the defective material back when I first posted about this. Finally were refunded for for the defective rolls plus a roll of lam for the roll we printed. Of course nothing for the ink, time wasted, etc... but...
  8. Digital Print Material for Garage Doors

    We have used cast high tack for that pebble textured stuff before. Use a rollepro and heat gun to work it into the texture.
  9. Need Help Saving in PS as a tiff thats over the 4gb limit

    If 300 dpi at 1/4 scale then it will make a final resolution of 75 dpi at full size which should be fine. I just tested myself to see using 202x78.5 inches at 300dpi. RGB mode, flattened, and saved as a tiff with LZW compression. Blank white file was only 16mb. Added a random fairly complex...
  10. Moldy vinyl?

    Then why is it also doing that on the unprinted white areas and also still looks perfect at the edge that was under the trim?
  11. Possible bad batch of 3M 180CV3

    Bump to see if anyone else has been having issues..... we got some in for a contract install from another company and had a similar issue. Not quite as aggressive and the rolls we had but still moreso than normal and another issue we ran into was the unprinted white areas would break and tear...
  12. News Save $ on JetBest Ink

    I wouldn't necessarily say delete the thread but maybe state. Found this but before I can really recommend it let me try it for a couple of months and will come back and update when I'm certain its the real deal or not.
  13. Question side by side not working out

    Agree with Eric. Too much going on and impossible to wrap those in one piece. Some of those parts are going to require inlays and seams. Do the inlays first. Like that first pic - the inner corner with the flat bottom above the rectangle hole, impossible to do that as one piece.
  14. _

    He still trying to make this go away... now he came on and deleted the tread title. This has been an entertaining read. lol
  15. JV33 ink cart configuration

    Its on page 33 of the machine setup guide...
  16. Need Help Need help to find a new supplier!

    You dont just accept the pricing on their website do you??? I hope not anyways..... for materials you regularly use you need to ask your sales rep for better pricing.
  17. Question Acceptable size for banner

    That is exactly why they make 38" rolls. You need no registration marks or at most if a white background then a single thin line on the short ends. Adding a very thin line is actually how I'd set the job (regardless of the background) up just to ease cutting them apart. So I'd take the artwork...
  18. Font of The year

    Kind of old but still awesome....
  19. Customer requesting relief cuts in vinyl

    I'd also mention.... one above said they have seen rust where vinyl has been cut on a vehicle. If you are incapable of cutting vinyl on a vehicle without, not just scratching the clear, but cutting all the way to the steel.... you need to be stopped from touching any other vehicle until you have...
  20. Self healing Cutting Table life expectancy

    A major key is employee training. They need to understand that they are not trying to cut through the mat itself.... Typically the standard type would last us several years on our main table. Last new one we got was a Crystal one from Yellotools. Expensive but much better than the typical type...
