Ref: Graphtec FC-7000-160 (Signwarehouse Q-160) So last night I used my arrows keys as I have for years to move the media forward after a cut job was finished to cut off the job.

Whenever I make decals of stickers the edges peel back. If i print stickers and don't use them right away then the edges want to pull away and can't make them look presentable unless I put release tape on them first. I also noticed some other signs that were done peeling at the edges and curling...

3M Envision SV480Cv3 vinyl with matching laminate. Printed on a Roland TruVis VG-540. The vinyl was printed and left to degas overnight. Laminated the next morning, then cut. I used clear R-Tape application tape on the graphic due to some floating elements. When I tried to apply this graphic...

Does anyone on here offer wholesale printing (I am looking for one on one,not some huge online business). So far I haven't found anyone good. Its all intermediate and high performance printed vinyl I need printed with contour cut. Pretty simple. I hate jumping around from this person to the...

The thing I liked about this carved sign was no gold leaf, as much as I love gold leaf it's nice to take a break from it on a carved sign. This is 1.5" HDU with the company name carved. Two products panels from ACM that can be changed. Finished with black acrylic enamel & silver metallic acrylic...

I typically like to sleuth these out on my own, but I'm up against a deadline on a rush job. This is the only pic I have and I have to cut the vinyl for the customer to apply on the trailer, which is on the other side of the country in Washington state or somewhere. Thanks.

Basically have to strip current logos off of 9 truck doors (aluminum) and re-letter with basically 3 lines of generic copy. Easy job, except it is now winter and too cold to work outside. They have no indoor facilities and I suggested that we need to cover up whats on there now and wait till...

I need a way to make sub-surface acrylic signs that do not bubble on the back. I have applied vinyl letters and painted the back. I have Gerber Edge printed on clear vinyl, then painted, or added solid color vinyl behind that. Either way, sometimes the vinyl and/or paint pulls away where the...

We print several rolls of phototex per month. We just did an install and I have one panel that have one 1/2in crease on the edge of a seam and like a 1/4in bubble on the bottom part of the panel. It wasn't there when I've applied the panel. I can sqeegee it down flat, but it still cumming up...

I have two printers and can't get a good double strike print out of either. One printer is a HP 310 Latex printer using the Flexiprint HP Basic RIP. I can not find any option in the RIP that allows me to double strike a print. Is it possible with my RIP? Second printer is VS-540 using...

Seems like any roll I feed through my printers, buckles up on the back end. I see it happen as soon as I lock my rollers on my printer. I have a mutoh 1624 valuejet. My shop is pretty cold this time of year. Could it be bad rollers or the weather affecting the material?

Hello everyone, I would want to know if i can have some help with this issue. I have a 1304 Mutoh VJ. When i print on gloss oracal vinyl I get this banding on my prints (see attached picture please) I am thinking it is the profile I am using. Any suggestion on a profile that i can use? When I...

OK, This is the first time I have ever really had material not take ink properly. I'm printing on 60" rolls on my HP L26500. The center 40 inches or so print PERFECTLY, but the sides are mottled and you can see the ink is not being accepted well by the vinyl as it's beading up. What I did...

I have a customer who wants floating (unseen hardware) second surface acrylic signs and the only hardware I can think of is Z CLIPS or French Cleats. However, our standard "recipe" for second surface acrylic signs is we print the graphic on clear (reverse image), then apply opaque white vinyl on...
