I have to price out some pole banners and I have only done them once before sourcing them out years back. They were printed dbl sided on the regular banner material, sewn and grommeted which made them stiff. They did not last. I assume mesh banners last longer and is what everyone is using now...
I am working on some banners and I’ve run out of banner tape. If I can’t get it in time is carpet tape a good replacement or any other suggestions? I am doing 16’ banners and it is spliced in the middle. I put 2 strips of banner tape at the splice to join them. Should I be doing anything else...
Is there any way I can fix the black issue? I manually cleaned it and did a medium clean. I have replaced a few black printheads. (More than I would like). This printhead was replaced in the spring I think. So not that old. I can print black much better than what my test print shows. Any...
We are installing backlit plexi inserts tomorrow. We just finished cutting the plexi and after we cut it we notice cracking at the top edge. I think it happened when we let the cutoff piece fall as we cut it. The top edge now has cracks 1/2” to 1.5” along the top. Maybe 6-8 of them. I am worried...
I have a one time cut to make on the alupanel for a decorative shape at the top as seen in the picture. I used a jig saw which worked fine until I did the other side using the cutout piece for a template. I would like to properly learn how to do this. I normally send them out but that’s becoming...
I have been having a problem with the tension in laminating. I used the 210 without any problem laminating then switched it over to 290 and I can’t seem to get it smooth. I never changed the tension. Tried several times and wasted a lot. I switched back to 210 and it worked fine. I’m not sure...
I am putting a 2-2.5” stripe on a truck boxes where it meets the truck liner so right at the top. I always find it hard to make any slight curve with a stripe this wide and trying not to have a splice. What is the best way to make that curve at the end that goes around to the tailgate? I precut...
I have to put vinyl on a new snow machine windshield. I don’t do wraps so this is all new to me. I plan on using black cast vinyl. I have never done this and usually turn away jobs like this or try it and it fails. I hate saying no when I have done other jobs for them. What’s the best way to...
I have a 7’ x 9’ one colour logo (Semi circle) going on a transport trailer both sides, tons of rivets. I only have a few days to get it ready to install. Should I print chocolate brown on white or cut out in chocolate brown cast vinyl? The trailer is white with silver rivets pretty sure. The...
I have this logo to create and I am trying to curve the top word around the top of a circle shape and the second word around the bottom of a circle shape. Any ideas how to in Corel. It wants to distort the sides. I just want to move the corners and the centre’s if possible. I am using enevelope...
I am used to printing on gloss Orajet 3651 for an intermediate vinyl. I have a lot of prints to do ASAP and was sent matte instead of gloss which they are out of stock. Should I use it or order a different brand? If so what is best? Matte vs gloss? I have gloss 210 laminate. Thanks in advance.
With my cold laminator when the paper scrap gets to be a large amount on the roll I have to take it off by hand which is frustrating. I’m sure there’s a way to take it off easier. Reverse the roll? I only have one inner cardboard roll that the scrap paper rolls back on. I’m sure I’ve just been...
I have a Roland sp300i. By looking at the test print I’m sure I need a new black print head. I replaced it not long ago which is frustrating. Been through 4 or more! This has been going on for a while now.
But I notice the lines on the entire print colours are fuzzy and complete mess. I...
