Response Just to add closure to this, for anyone searching the forums in the future... The only way I could get the printer to read the full width was by replacing the cutter carriage ribbon. The repair took about an hour to complete. So in a nutshell there is no way to override the printer...

Hello I have searched the forums and also called my printer supplier and it looks like my cut carriage cable has a kink in it and needs to be replaced. It will only read 13.5" across. I have a couple 27" wide jobs to run and was wondering if anyone here has any idea how to manual set the media...

I have been doing outdoor signs and vehicle wraps, but wonder what people are using in the Oracal line of inkjet printable vinyl for Laptop and Phone skins? I have done research on the web and signs 101, but it seems most are using 3M products that seem to be be on the thick side - 4 mil plus...

This is turning into a lesson of Copyright vs. Trade Marks or Service Marks. I have been involved in corporate branding for many years and I highly recommend anyone working with designs has a good understanding of the differences in their country, region, state or province and etc. -sheldon

Great post and glad to see it as a sticky! I am one of those that got a University Degree in design and branding and worked in the advertising for many years before moving into the sign business - you get thick-skinned showing your ideas and the more negative/creative feedback you get, the...

Hello, Just a quick introduction... I am a designer by trade and in the past 4 years moved into the sign/clothing side of things by slowly bringing the production in house. As my market seems to be continually growing in the small custom job arena, I could no longer rely on outsourcing my...
