  1. Need Help Perforation Cutting

    What machine(s) are you using to print and cut? No one can really help you without that information.
  2. Vinyl print "faded" to black? What happened?

    Update: I found out the inks we used for the Mimaki printer and they were Triangle brand JVS inks, made to work with the JV3 Mimaki. I'm not sure if they're dye-based, however.
  3. Vinyl print "faded" to black? What happened?

    While I can't guarantee 100%, the materials we should have been using were Orajet 3651 Gloss vinyl with Oraguard 210 Semi Gloss laminate, and were printed on an old solvent Mimaki JV3 printer. We don't have that printer anymore, but continue to use those vinyls. We haven't seen this problem with...
  4. Vinyl print "faded" to black? What happened?

    Hi all, We installed this sign about three and a half years ago, and the guy who handled the sale and put it together is unfortunately no longer with us so we can't ask questions, but according to our records, it's a foam building sign with an aluminum face and then a vinyl print over the...
  5. Oracal 651 Discoloration?

    I don't have a pic with he discoloration all in one picture, but here is after we installed it at first. I'm pretty sure the white vinyl was ordered in the past year at the latest. The other colors (red, blue, green, and yellow) maybe be older, but they're all showing the same problem...
  6. Oracal 651 Discoloration?

    A few months ago we put some Oracal 651 on the back window of one of our customer's cars. Yesterday he brought it back in because it's starting to discolor? It's on a dark back window that's angled up so it's facing the sun, so I'm wondering if this is some sort of burn that's happening? We...
  7. What printer would you recommend?

    1.) We mostly do signage on various substrates, banners, and vehicle graphics (not many full wraps). We rarely print on paper, we have an old HP for the odd non-vinyl job. As for Economy/High End, I'd say we're in the middle and it depends on the job. 2.) We need to print up to 63" banner and...
  8. What printer would you recommend?

    How is latex better? I've heard mixed reviews and not very many details so I was just planning to stick with that we already know.
  9. What printer would you recommend?

    Hi all, Our shop has an old Mimaki JV3-160 that we've been using for about 10 years or so that is finally getting to be more trouble than it's worth. We're looking at getting a new printer, but the person that bought all our hardware before is gone an no one here is really an expert on...
  10. Material recommendation for clear adhesive prints on windows?

    I'll check them out, thanks!
  11. Material recommendation for clear adhesive prints on windows?

    We have a customer that's wanting full print coverage on the windows of their conference room. The panels will be 8 ft high and 48" wide for 13 feet. Normally we use 3MIJ40C/3M40C for our large prints going on relatively smooth surfaces, but the customer wants the back to be white and not grey...
  12. Engine Font ID

    Close, but the A, E, and G are completely different. I think I'm just going to have to trace it. :/
  13. Engine Font ID

    No luck? Is it possible that it's not a font?
  14. Engine Font ID

    Having a customer request this exact font for a refacing job we're working on. I've found a lot of close matches, but the exact font eludes me. Maybe you guys will have better luck than me.
  15. Font ID?

    Yeah, this is the closest I can seem to find so it's what I think I'm gonna have to use. Neutraface 2 Display was one of my first guesses, but the G is different.
  16. Font ID?

    Having trouble IDing this font. It looks really similar to Ano Bold, but I cant find any weight that has all caps and the pointed corners on the N. Any other ideas?
  17. font help

    Yeah, even Variable is close though. The only big difference is the lack of stems on the letters.
  18. font help

    Are you being facetious? I mean I know it's not exactly the same, but still...
  19. font help

    Closest I can find right now is Variable http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/madtype/variable/ Edit: DIN Next Rounded is pretty close as well http://www.fonts.com/font/linotype/din-next/rounded-regular
