Has anyone encountered this? Video here: It reads the first two marks fine, then skips past the third and fourth and reads the rest. It tries to go past the final mark (I believe it thinks there is another row remaining since one row was skipped) and then I get an error telling me to move the...

Hey all, not sure what you think this could be. I have white dots showing up in my solid colors. This image shows an area of the print that is about 6" x 6". We're using a Latex 310 for reference. Does this look like a bad printhead, or maybe plasticizer migration? I'm printing rich black on 3M...

We currently use a lot of 3M 3645, which is 8 mil, and this stuff is extremely tough. It is pretty expensive. I'm also not a huge fan of the surface texture, which I can best describe as kind of pebbly. I'm looking for suggestions if anyone knows of a similar laminate, or even something...

Just wondering what avenues work best for everyone. We have a couple of local suppliers, but when they run out of stock, we have to go through Grimco or Fellers, and their prices can be a little insane depending on the product. Any alternative suppliers that you recommend?

Hi all, we've been using Gerbermask Ultra Yellow as paint mask for a long time and loving it because it has really good chemical resistance, and we use it for extremely heavy duty paint and wood stain. We also prefer it over other paint masks because it's nice and pliable as opposed to some of...

I'm wondering what people recommend for a high tack transfer tape. I'm trying to do lettering with Briteline Multigrip or Texwalk, but none of the transfer tape that we use for our other vinyl is sticking well to the texture of this material. Does anyone here have experience with a product that...

For large, contour cut logos that span 2 or more panels, I've been setting up separate cut lines and their overlaps in Illustrator. Are there any RIPs that can do this automatically? I'd like to be able to just have my logo and the one cut line, then send it to the RIP where I can set my overlap...

I apologize if this isn't the ideal forum for this topic. We are having major issues with our Latex 310. The left side of the heating element is not getting up to temp and our prints are coming out still wet on that side. It's also revving up and running VERY loudly and high-pitched, although...

I apologize if this isn't the best forum for this, as this question isn't about print to cut software. We cut a lot of unprinted vinyl, and we're currently using Cutting Master 3, and I'm wondering what other people use. We use Cutting Master 3 instead of Cutting Master 4 because it's so much...

All I can seem to find is high/medium tack when it comes to application/transfer tape. I'm trying to find the lowest tack tape that I can for large vinyl paint masks, but I'm hitting a wall. Everything we try is sticking way more aggressively than we'd like. Has anyone been able to find a...

We're looking at some jobs that are specced for type II wall coverings - really thick commercial wallpaper. I've looked into different products from Dreamscapes, Korographics, and Vescom, and there are a lot of good options to choose from, but I'm hesitant because I don't know much about their...

Does anyone know of any good removable cast vinyls? We'd like to use this for temporary floor graphics. What we're using right now looks great, but it's too much of a pain to peel up. We're also laminating with a slip resistant laminate, so it doesn't have to be slip resistant on its own...

I want to use a cast metallic vinyl (either Oracal 951 or Gerber 220) for a project, but I need to be able to laminate it. Neither of these products' specs indicate recommended overlaminates. Could I just use any quality cast laminate? We have some 3M 8509 and 8518 lying around. Generally we...

Hey all. I've been wondering how far I can push my ink cartridges. I'm using HP Latex 310, and the cartridges are 775 ml. I was told by my sales rep to replace inks as soon as the machine says they're low, which usually happens around 100ml. This seems kind of insane to replace such a huge...

We found a textured material that would be perfect for us, but it's 20 mil thick, and the max mil thickness that our HP Latex 310 can supposedly handle is 19.7. Has anyone here pushed the mil thickness limit on their machine before? .3 mil doesn't seem like a huge amount to go over by, but I...

I'm having trouble with perf/flex cuts on my Graphtec 8600. My kiss cuts are pretty much fine - they're off by maybe 1/64 inch on the x axis and I can work around that for now. On the exact same file, though, my perf cuts are off by almost 3/16" on the x axis. I have a picture attached if that...
