  1. Installation Only Pricing Help

    I'm focusing on providing installation services to local sign and wrap shops. I was wondering what a fair rate would be to charge for installation only of dimensional wall signage. I'm not sure how to charge for it at all to be honest. I'm pretty good when it comes to estimating for wall-vinyl...
  2. Graphic Tracer Pro vs. Adobe Illustrator

    Just curious if anyone who uses both could give a comparison (pros/cons) between the two. I'm pretty fast with Illustrator, and with the What The Font app on Android I'm generally able to reconstruct a low res logo within a matter of minutes. By tweaking the advanced settings in Illustrator one...
  3. Computer wont turn on when connecting Mimaki CJV30-160

    Connecting the printer to the computer's USB port shouldn't have anything to do with power supply. Does it only happen when the printer is plugged into the USB port? Does it happen regardless of which USB port you use? Does plugging other USB devices into the port make it freeze/crash? If the...
  4. What is causing discoloration in print

    It could be, but we printed a different image after this and the issue didn't present. Almost leads me to believe it could be the heater settings in that profile (Flexi 11). If so I'm not sure which (pre, post, etc). I emailed the pic(s) to our 3M rep who's usually pretty good about getting back...
  5. What is causing discoloration in print

    We have a Mimaki JV33-160 which most of the time we get pretty good prints from. Every once in a while it does this (see image) though, and no one seems to know why. Printing on the same media (though a different lot; this was a brand-new roll of 3M IJ-180CV3) a few days ago with the same...
  6. I never wrapped before, but it's my truck ????

    If you've never wrapped before get lots of vinyl. Start with 25 yards of something with air release/egress. Remove everything you can (handles, fender flares, mirrors when possible, etc.) for as seamless a wrap as possible. Wrap the vehicle using the advice and pointers you've gleaned after...
  7. Flexi 11 and Mimaki jv33-160 profiles

    I am having an issue with Flexi 11 profiles for a Mimaki jv33-160 (SS21 inks) and horizontal banding with IJ180 cv3 and sv480 mc media. I either get great color but horizontal banding and/or pixellation, or no banding and/or pixellation but color is off. It isn't a feed compensation issue, I've...
  8. Intro(ish)

    A little about myself, eh? Well I work as a graphic designer/production manager/vinyl installer for a small business in central NC. When I'm not printing stuff, wrestling with flexi, or wrapping vehicles I tend to be home with the family or out on a trail somewhere snapping pictures or dragging...
