I have been having the same issues. I've been wondering if it is a humidity issue, heater settings, or a different backing paper. It seemed to have started after the Covid related shortages. It doesn't seem to happen with the other materials, only the 4600. I use a Mutoh VJ-1624.

I've been looking too. I may have to create one. If I do, I will let you know. The one I need is all across the front, grill and covered headlight look.

I have been thinking of adding one to my shop. May I ask who you ordered from? I tried to zoom in on the number on the end of the box, but to no avail! Thanks!

I've been a member on her since 2013, in the sign industry since 1987 (my profile still says I am a new member, lol). I don't post very much at all. Part of the reason is I am not anywhere close to a guru, so I don't feel I may not have the right answers, but at the same time, I don't post...

I have a 7 year old Mutoh VJ-1624. It has been a workhorse. I perform all the maintenance (Cap station, head changes, faithful cleaning). I'm not sure if it is a machine problem or the switch over to the MS31 inks, but since the change, I no longer receive the low ink warning. After using this...

Race cars are always welcome in my shop. I built my sign business by hand lettering, then cut vinyl, now wraps. A car with 10 sponsors, means I have contact with 10 potential customers. And with people in the stands, they see something cool, they become potential customers. Of course, it helped...

ams is correct. Rivets and the "ribs" are very time consuming. I am doing a 200 truck fleet, 2'x10' printed graphic, run at a 45 degree angle on the front of the trailers. Just in that small area, I encounter 12-16 ribs and on average 60 rivets. Takes about 45 minutes per side to install simple...

Sounds to me like it needs a capping station replacement. I also was not informed from my vender that it needs to be replaced yearly. Mine was over 3 years old when I learned this valuable lesson. You also need to change the wiper blade on the maintenance (capping) station about every 6 months...

I have done several, and also am a drummer. I wrapped my personal set a little over 2 years ago using Arlon 4600 with Arlon 3420G overlaminate. I have had great results with it. My shells were a stained wood, so all I did was completely disassemble all the hardwear, cleaned with alcohol, and...

Sorry for your loss, but I applaud you in wanting to continue! As far as finding help and advertising, one of the least expensive ways to do both is through Facebook. Set up a page and ask all your friends on your personal page to like your new sign shop page. Post lots of pics of your work...
