  2. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    Hello. So it seems ever since it started getting really chilly this winter we've begun having issues with our Orajet 3164m developing bubbles, before we even print onto it, and only partway into the roll too which is very inconvenient. We use an HP Latex 110. The room rarely gets below 40 even...

  4. Need Help Bubble on captop with HI-PRO Kiian

    Hi, I have been using Kiian's HI-PRO ink recently on a JV-300 and since then I have a bubble problem that forms on the captop during a long print. The ink seems very easy to lather.

  5. Bubbles When Layering

    I preassembled this sticker using the registration mark method. What is causing the bubbles around the layers? How can I prevent this, or can it even be prevented? This is my second one, and though this one is slightly better than the first, it's still bad.
  6. I need advice with laminating

    I’m looking for some help, please. Recently I printed on 3M IJ180CV3 adhesive vinyl and laminated the prints. The printing was done on a Mimaki CJV 150-160 with Mimaki Inks. We allowed the printed vinyl to outgas for 48 hours before laminating. We then used a Seal 400 laminator to apply premium...
  7. Bubbles & Creases when laminating

    Not sure what to do at this point? We have never had luck laminating anything that is over 36" wide and tend to shy away from jobs that require long vinyl laminates. We have a 62 Seal Pro S which is probably a great laminator, however, we simply cannot seam to figure out how to laminate with...

  12. Severe Bubbles on Layered Vinyl

    I recently installed some multi-colored logos on a van and some doors for a friend of mine and there are a LOT of bubbles. I used the layering technique for the multiple colors and many of the bubbles appear to be between the layers of vinyl, not underneath the vinyl on the surface. So I am...
  13. Royal Sovereign RSC-1650c - issues

    I've had my laminator for probably 4 years now and purchases it as a display model from my dealer. It has always kind of had this issue but I think its getting a little worse and was wondering if anyone has had similar issues or have any advice. The issue is that on some large format pieces...
