I manage the graphics department for a printing company, but sometimes I will do installs for people outside of work. I have been doing this for years, never had a real issue. My uncle (by-marriage) 's brother, has a 1973 Ford Maverick. He bought a graphics package online and had me install the...

I have been designing, printing, and installing car wraps for 8 years now. I have never had anyone willing to pay for a chrome wrap, so I have never seen this stuff in person. I have a crazy rush job for a state agency this week, and they are drop shipping me some of the Avery SF100 Conform...

Hello Everybody, I have run into a bit of a problem and will try to explain the best I can. I am working on a large box truck wrap for our company's paper supplier. Our printer has been having terrible problems printing solids and is under an active call with Roland and no progress has...

I have a political client, that is requesting a banner print of his campaign art, to hang from a vehicle window during parades. I originally suggested vehicle magnets, as this is my normal solution to temporary graphics. The customer does not want magnets, they want a banner. They are...

I just received my Banner Ups starter kit today. It came with clear Bravo Tabs, PowerTape, and a heavy duty hole puncher. The process goes much quicker than the tape hemming and punching grommets I have always used before. Just wondering what everyone's experience was with these tabs, and how...

I'm in search of an eco-solvent printable dry erase poster material. I have a large order that needs filled by next Friday. In the past we have printed normal poster material and laminated with a dry erase laminate. Not only is dry erase laminate out of stock everywhere, but I would like to...

My 3rd print head was replaced yesterday, the tech did all of the calibrations but now all of my prints have a grainy fuzziness to them. I have tried several different profiles that I usually use to no avail. The test print is perfect. Anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this, or a...

I have recently started using MAX METAL from Grimco for outdoor signage. The first few signs were 4x8 so I didn't have to worry about cutting it down. Idk if this MAX METAL product name is widely used as I can't find any previous posts about it here, but it is two sides of .15mm Aluminum bonded...

Well, just when I thought I had finally got over all of the issues with our Roland VG-540, it drops yet another print head. We still haven't hit the one year mark with this machine and it will make the 3rd print head to be replaced. This is not head strike related, I don't think I have ever...
