If your printhead is getting close to the end of its life (3/4 or so) it may drop color once it heats up. I have had that issue in the past with a different printer. I would replace your magenta printhead, even if it is not requesting it, even if your colour calibration prints okay.
A couple of things...I have a Mutoh which I have pretty much retired. I have always had an issue doing blues with it. There was one time though that when I tried to print the same image on my latex printer, it did the same thing. Figured out it was the stock which Avery has since discontinued. I...
Hi. I've done letters on corrugated metal like that. What I did was measure a 2' flat distance. I then took a piece of premask and followed the curves in that 2' distance, peeled it, measured it, then distorted the artwork accordingly. Installation was fairly easy, one letter at a time, started...

Thanks. Giving thought to printing it. Just not sure which calendared vinyl is latex printable or if it would even be a good idea to print with latex. Eco-solvent might be better, more translucent? Wondering as well if laminating would hinder the reflectiveness. Should be okay?
Thanks.
Well I know, that is why I am asking. Thinking non-reflective spot vinyl would be better, hoping to find someone who has created a sign like this and knows for sure.
Thanks.
Hi. Kind of new at signs still., wondering about making reflective signs. Was going to put a white reflective background on the dibond. Should I use reflective black and other reflective colors on top or would non-reflective vinyl work since the background is reflective? Thanks in advance.
