    I'm about to start punching babies... Printing on 3m 780 reflective (epson s80600), laminating with avery 1360.

  2. Banding on Epson s80600

    Hey folks, I’m getting weird banding when printing solid gray on my Epson. It’s hard to see in the pic but the banding doesn’t go all the way across the sheet. It drops in and out throughout the middle of the sheet. It also moves around the sheet as it’s coming through the printer. I’ve already...

  4. cutting after printing

    Hey guys, I'm new to the flatbed world and looking at adding a cnc router to finish cut to wood. The units I've been looking at simply read gcode. Coming from the vinyl world, we print corner bomb site marks on a printcut job, the cutter reads the marks (either manually or automatically...
  5. best flatbed for fine art printing

    Hey guys, I'm looking to add a flatbed to the mix (we have a couple of Mutoh ecosol printers). This machine would be primarily printing on plywood blanks at high resolutions (fine art).

    Getting weird glitch banding on one of my Mutoh 1624 printers. Seems to happen more frequently on fast printing jobs (like banners), or when attempting to rip and send more than one file at a time. Only happens on the one printer. Anybody else come across this problem and have a solution...

    hey guys, i'm looking for recommendations on the best printer that has BOTH on board white and metallic ink.

  10. Question How To Leave Signvox

    Has anyone successfully migrated from Signvox to another product? I'm at the end of my rope. Customer service is horrible, and strictly limited to online chat - when someone is there. When you do get someone online they rarely can help you, I'm not sure what they're being trained on. I've left...

  15. 1604 Heater Control Board/PF encoder errors, alternately do you have a parts machine?

    I've got a dead 1604 that keeps popping up pf errors upon initialization. So far we've replaced the main board, the power supply, the pf motor, the encoder and the encoder wheel, all to no avail as the problem persists. I found a schematic for this machine with voltages and after some sleuthing...
  16. shelf talkers and wobblers

    anybody making these things? I've got a customer that wants to order a couple thousand, but with different messages on each 100 or so. So I probably need to make them in house. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, that they'd like to pass along. thanks
  17. I need an installer in Houston for tomorrow, possibly wednesday

    I just found out that my customer intends to install a full wrap on a 24x8 box truck using some moving guys that are just hanging around. Highly recommended a professional installer to customer, and he agreed. It's only one side of the truck, six panels, single color logo on white background...
  18. how to handle a stolen design

    so, in over five years this is the first time I've seen this happen. A long standing (I guess now former) customer asked for a redesign of their vehicle wrap package for a new van. We put together a couple of looks and sent them over in December of last year. Never heard back so contacted them...

    Hey Guys, I've got a Dell Optiplex that I bought about 3 years ago to run flexi. It's only purpose is to act as a RIP for my mutoh and graphtec and I do no design work on it (illustrator and photoshop on my mac for that). It's running xp 2002 version on it as well.
