    looks like neoprene.. you know what they make mouse pads out of. but without actually seeing and feeling it. that's only my guess.
  2. Vinyl removal

    i call it "glue boogers"... up here in canada.. bahaha.
  3. red tones being brown

    we have a mimaki jv300-160 plus and i'm trying to figure out why on earth is this machine printing my red tones a brownish tint? i ran some pantone samples in the "cardinal red" type color, and they all came out with a brown tint, no where near the pantone color. our other mimaki was pretty much...
  4. Vinyl lettering for a vehicle

    we decal vehicles all the time and we use Oracal products. For simple, fleet vehicles or decals that don't require gong over strong curves, 3551 G is what we use with a 215 overlaminate. i would suggest you upgrade to the 751 series. the lifespan is much longer and your customers will be happier...
  5. Display Insert Board Challenges

    really finy peices of clear DS tape? or we use a product called "resinbond" to adhere acrylic peices together. it's a liquid that you squirt onto your surface andthen you press the two peices together, holding for a few seconds and then you have a permanent bond. it dries superfast so you have...
  6. Review ORAJET 3971RA, Review

    Just a slightly off question, because your topic caught my eye. we recently wrapped a GMC express van and i was told that the 3951 RA (is that what you are using or the non RA?) is "the bee's knees" so to speak, but after having it installed it was lifting in certain areas, body creases and in...
  7. Need Help jv33-130 issue

    i looked and it appears to be capped properly. how do i really tell though? key things to look for?
  8. Need Help jv33-130 issue

    recently our older printer model started doing this. see photo for example. when the printer sits idle for a few moments, colors start to take over each other's channels when i run a test print.. i'm not quite sure how to word this.. it's weird anyways. if i do a normal or hard clean, it seems...

    Looks similar to a font i got off of dafont.com called JackInput
  10. Fonts

    https://dafont101.com/azo-sans-font/ whenever i need a font that i don't have, i just google "insert font here" free download and usually have luck.
  11. Anyone have these issues with laminated product?

    Recently we've been getting this problem quite often. I will print something that needs to be contour cut after. After gassing off for the appropriate hours, it's laminated and then comes back to me for cutting. I cut this on friday, it sat for the weekend and i come back to the edges curling in...
  12. Bubbles with metallic vinyl

    have you ever tried using a rubber roller / speed roller for this type of application? i've had to lay vinyls to magnetic like this before. that's what I use. good luck!
  13. printing grey and getting red/blue/green undertones

    Just wondering if anyone else experiences this issue when printing greys. it seems that when you look at the color under real sunlight, (ie outside) the color appears to have undertones of blue or green and i've heard of reds from other persons. Is there an adjustment or setting i can use in the...
  14. Washed out colors with illuminated lightboxes

    I find that i get the results i want when i do a 2 overprint method. before i send it to RIP i adjust the colors to between 85% and 80% or the originals so that the colors don't come out TOO dark when you're running a 2 overpass. We generally use a clear print media for illuminated sign...
