We have fixed this issue successfully with a combination of higher quality vinyl and using the straightness optimization feature in the firmware. Flawless cuts most of the time now. I love this machine.

got it sorted well. thanks folks. applied 2" of premask to the perimeter to prevent stretching and went wet with no problem.

Thanks guys. We'll get this sorted. Hi MGraphics - I appreciate the friendliness. Marc's great to work with.

I haven't tried to premask this, I've been attempting the install wet. getting the backing paper off and getting the 8' high panel to the window without creasing it or stretching it where we're holding onto it is the issue. Once this is wet and on the window I'm sure this won't be a problem.

While I appreciate the advice to install wet, I've tried installing wet and am looking for a deeper level of advice. Regarding those nice panels in the office, there is no frame around those windows and they're not full coverage. I could install what I see in those photos no problem. We've...

this is one solid piece of frosting with no graphics on it at all. Complete window coverage.

Hey guys, I'm at a loss. We just completed a massive office install of 24", 18" and 6" stripes and we have one piece left to go - the boardroom windows. We have two windows that require full coverage - 49.5" by 91" in size. If course there's a nice 2" deep frame around that window. We're...

Problem solved. I sent the photos to the installer and he fortunately stood up to the plate and agreed it looked horrible. I'll replace the panels and he'll do the install. Relationship remains good, which is important. Lots of jerks out there in this business!

I appreciate that this should have been competed dry, but it wasn't and I'm on the hook for a replacement set of panels in the event that we can't get this sorted as it was installed... Ideas...

Hey guys, I've spent some time searching with no luck... I outsourced an installation to another city for some window perf that was installed wet. The perf is laminated and the customer is very unhappy that after four days there is still a lot of water behind the laminate, causing it to...

You guys once again rock. Thanks a ton. I'm so much more in the digital world that I can't see the forest through the trees when it comes to cut vinyl!

Just wondering how to assemble these decals - black is apparently on top of these (the funky part is holographic vinyl). Thanks guys! (Using a graphtec FC8000.)

I have done this with no problems.

Now you're rockin' with that registration. Also, I have an L25500 - I just want to do these in cut vinyl and learn another skill in the process. Sometimes having the awesome printer makes your mind a bit lazy. Thanks for the input!

Ok, I've been at this sign thing for a couple of years and I've amazingly never had to deal with decals where the customer wants cut vinyl lettering for his logo in two colours. For example, he wants 50 stickers with the first word in white and the rest in a different color, 10 of each...

I'm trying to do this flattening and as soon as I try to export - pdf in this case, it crashes corel... Hmmm? help?!

Ok, now my customer wants to step it up a knotch. She wants battery powered lights on the pole to shine light onto the banner for night events... ideas???

Holy smokes, you guys are awesome (and apparently not busy today!!) Thanks for the great advice. I'm going to look into the threaded aluminum idea.

Hey folks, I'm looking for an idea to have a collapsible 12 foot pole for a parade banner - the type that is held by one person on each end as the pole goes across the top of the banner widthwise. Right now the customer is packing it up as 12' long and they go all over the country with it and...

Pinch rollers - no issues there. My supplier also couldn't get it to cut properly although he was having the exact same but opposite issue (out of alignment to start and the it went INTO alignment as the print cut more in the feed direction.
