  1. Central Ohio looking to hire graphics installers

    One of the lasts threads I created here was about trying to find a job opening in the continental US, and that was over six months ago. I haven't been on here as steadily as I used to because I was able to get that position I wanted. I've been working here in Central Ohio for little over six...
  2. Capping Units not draining.

    Hey guys. Working with a JV3-130 that is not allowing Three of the four capping units to drain immediately. We are under the impression that the drain hoses may be clogged somewhere after the capping units. We have disassembled the capping station and have the each individual unit free and...

    Ok, New Printhead. New Sub Tank Valves. New Dampers. New Cap Top. Ran som flush through the new head before running ink. Filled with ink and ran a test nozzle. Missing the first block of black (this after three little charges to see if cleared it). And now, I'm getting a sutank lo error for the...
  6. Neon Wrap Layout

    I made this initial concept and am liking the direction is going. It still needs the contact information on there so it will probably change since the space is limited. Just wanted to get your views on the concept and direction I have taken this. jc
  7. 2006 Dodge Sprinter: Which Vinyl?

    Hey guys, I've been asked to quote on a 2006 Dodge Sprinter and am wondering if I should go with the IJ 380C from 3M or go with the Avery SuperCast. The former scares me a bit because of their history, but since I've never really used the IJ-380 I don't have any history to fallback on either...
  8. 3M IJ3552C for short term wraps

    What do you guys think of this? It's promoted as short term vehicle wraps vinyl by 3M. The following site states a one year warranty for compound curves if applied with proper heating procedures. ( http://www.totalsupply.co.nz/shop/Digital+Film/Promotional/3M+IJ3552C.html ) What are your...
  9. Food Truck Layout

    Hey guys. Here's a layout I'm working on for a local food truck. The first layout is the original concept I had come up with. He decided he wanted it in black so I modified it and came up with the last two layouts after some additions he requested. The first one of the black version has the...

  12. Dektop Printers: Inkjet vs Laser

    I personally prefer printing using a laser printer (b&w or color) than using an inkjet. Seems to be less expensive to keep up as well with the ink pricing. What do you all think? jc
  13. Anyone know the name of this van

    It's an 18 passenger 2000 Ford Van. Just had a prospect call regarding wrapping this, an F150 and another regular van. I'm expecting some photos, but would like to find the template for this. Cheers
  14. Is there a specialty vinyl for this?

    I have been contacted to provide a print for a private plane. Nothing huge, 12" x 24". I was planning on using regular vehicle media with lam for it but am wondering if there is a specialty vinyl for this, or any other vinyl would be better than vehicle media. Client is requesting the best...
  15. No K in nozzle test yet prints + cyan disappearing on print

    Hello guys, So a thread yesterday made me look into my issues again with my printhead. For a while I have been having no black come through on the nozzle test as shown on one of the images. You can see that it only has a couple of nozzles firing. I normally print 720x720v and after that issue...
  16. How does diesel affect the vinyl?

    I have wrapped a couple of tankers previously and really have not heard of any issues from the gasoline spilling over them. Wondering if you guys have had any experience with diesel and how it affects the installed vinyl on full wraps. jc
  17. Cement Mixer Truck....Full Color Wrap

    So I have a client that wants a proposal (quote) for the rotating drum of this truck. I'm planning on quoting with the use of the heavy convex material and their heavy laminate for better thickness and adhesive on onto the surface of the drum. Any suggestions and/or remarks regarding this...
  18. For those that have used Rolle Pro

    I have recently had the chance to use it and must say it saves time if the install allows its proper use. However, I did notice that with that there's always a small amount of material that doesn't quite conform to the rivet. I've had to heat and go over with my finger in order to get it to...
  19. Full Wrap for 3 month promotion

    Hey guys, I have a request by a client as stated on the title. For wraps I like to use either 3M IJ180C or Oracal 3951/3551 RA with their respective laminates. I'm inclined to used this anyway for this wrap just to make sure that removal is just as smooth and that any curves don't lift at all...
  20. 22' Box Truck Install....My First!!!!

    Hey Guys, Just wanted to show you an image of my first install on a 22' Box Truck. It took me and another installer 11 hours ( way more than it should have in my opinion, though I improved as the hours moved along). The graphics came with transfer tape over them, which made it a bit more...
