ive

Hello, I'm looking for the best option to adhere vinyl to wood. I've just attempted vinyl on painted plywood and it won't stick. I've noticed other signs that appear that they are adhered straight to wood. Is there a special type of wood I should be using? Is there a specific paint that works...

So i've got a new ambulance in the shop and we need to cover the back in the high intensity reflective stripes. ive done a few before but not this large of a scale and never anything im happy with. My question is how do most of you go about deciding where the start, how to you keep it lined up...

Printing with a HP Latex 360 I was having some banding issues with my 360 lately. It looks like every time I send out my yellow with 10% magenta, the yellow starts off with heavy banding then I stop it, send it out again and it's back to normal. I've diagnosed it, nozzle firing looks good, my...

Hey everyone, ive got a little side project between all the wraps and fleet stuff. I'm cutting very small dots (1/8") in reflective materials but I'm having a hard time getting them to stick to the metal I'm working on. I've got oracle that I cut but was wondering what brands give a higher...

Hi Everyone, I had a complete hard drive fail and updated to a new machine. Long story short and lots of reading on here to have my printer back on the network. I have more issues now, and have tried so many avenues but no luck. I'm running Flexi 12 and my printer is a HP 26500. I've downloaded...

Ive had my printer for a couple of years and I love it , but for some reason any contour cuts that I do on a sheet that is 30 inches or longer its ALWAYS OFF ... The media for some reason wont stay lined up at all. Ive even trimmed the lamination over the crop marks thinking the lamination was...

Boy sure has been a LONG time since I've been on signs 101. Nice to see it still active. I've proofed a few substitutes but my Fire Chief still isn't 100% keen on anything just yet. He sent in a request for lad2der / create outlines but I highly doubt they will send him anything. Any help is...

Hi, I need help identifying this font, I know I've seen it before. I've looked through my font and cant find a match. Thanks Chris

Just a couple recent things Ive been working on

Hi folks, wondering if anyone knows of a reasonable source for the media edge holders for my L28500. I've included a pic. I've talked to my vendor who can't get them and says that they are apparently discontinued from HP? This blows my mind, the printer isn't that old. I've found them here...

I'm in the process of trying to do print and cut graphics for a customer on chrome media. I've had issues with ARMS detecting the registration marks, but I've gotten it to work a few times by putting scotch tape over them. However, after the register "successfully", the cuts are WAY off. See...

Hi guys! I've been working with my hobby vinyl shop for some years now. And I keep thinking there must be an easier way to remove excess vinyl from the backing paper. I've seen products like the weeder sheeter: Welcome to WEEDER SHEETER.com! and the super expensive automated machine...

Sorry for the small sample image attached. I've been pouring through different font libraries and can't seem to match the one matching the "heritage" letters in the sample image. Any help is appreciated. I know I've seen the typeface before.

I'm in need of help to get back printing. I tried searching the forums to no avail. Here's the situation. My RIP computer may be shot.(it's out for repair, maybe) Good news is I have a brand new replacement with Win 7 Pro. So I figure I'll go to the Roland site and download VW, but I need...

Hey guys, I had a little tool I thought could be useful to share. I'm not sure if there's something quite like this that people use (Customizable)- If there is, I've missed it. I've made a "calculator" (Google Spreadsheet) to determine how much material is left on a roll of vinyl (or whatever...

I've three rolls, all returned, in the last two weeks that appear to be contaminated. The 3rd roll I received last night and attempted to print this morning. All from Fellers, different warehouses, different lot numbers. The ink develops a plethora of small fish-eyes everywhere. I've run off...

Hey, I've been asked to make a decal on a clear vinyl that will go on an automobile back window. I have a HP310 latex printer. I've gathered that the best way to make these decals stand out on a window is to make them white, but of course my printer does not print white ink. What's the next...

so I've been printing for a while and have recently been asked on a weekly basis for decals from local businesses ive been turning them away just because ive never known how to price these and as much as i get asked i think it could be a good source of income. basically everyone is wanting 100...

I'm looking for an alternative to the DuraSol mentioned above. (12mil) I really like the material but the price is a little high and after a few days of outgassing, I've noticed the ends have a drastic curl. Does anyone know of alternative?

Hello... It's been a long time since I've posted here but I'm stuck and I've searched for several days and found nothing on this exact topic. I've got a CJV30-130 that was set up with CMYKLcLm + white and I need to convert it down to the standard dual cmyk that is the standard configuration...
