Just print some stickers of grommets on metallic vinyl. Apply to your substrate, then drill a 3/8" hole through the middle. Nobody will ever notice. :D LMAO! j/k. you can get the long barrel ones and pre-drill first, as Boudica mentioned.

Sounds a lot like a hardware or consumable problem to me. A nozzle check only tells you what's happening in a very small controlled test -- not actual production. Your magenta is probably dropping out -- I'd guess air in your lines (or heck, even a bad batch of ink). Are you using OEM inks...

heat + industrial citrus cleaner. I've got rapid remover too, but the citrus works as good or better (92% concentrate - crazy strong), and is only about 1/3 of the cost of Rapid Remover.

new heads does not equal a new printer. how much run time are we looking at?

Why is this post under "Classifieds"? What is this... the window of a panel van? In any case... you're asking too much of this vinyl. Wrap films aren't designed to be stretched that much, regardless of how much you heat it up (even if you use primer). It's going to lift back up in no time...

I agree with the comments above. This thing is scary and needs to be taken down before someone gets hurt (or at the very least, falls down and gets destroyed). Yes, it does need a frame, supports, solid anchoring etc... but if those things were already skipped the first time around, I'd be...

Flexi 12 on Win 11 here... no problems at all.

Not just "if" but "when" drives fail. Remember that all drives will fail at some point -- 100% guaranteed to die -- whether it's a few years, 5 years, etc. So if you decide to go with the local backup option, make sure your server is configured as RAID 1 (drive replication). Avoid the...

I have the take up option on the 160 (6 or 7 years old maybe?), but the opportunity to use it doesn't come up as often as I expected because I'm typically running 1 job at a time. You either need a healthy front leader to tape up to the reel (probably 2 to 3 feet worth, because it has to reach...

Nothing beats a Summa.

I've used a tabletop Hiker for the past 15 years. Zero problems. For larger jobs I prefer to use this beast: https://www.edwardsegalinc.com/index.cfm?level=3&pg=3&pid=10

weeding reflective sucks. I've had better success with reverse weeding though. (mask the whole thing, then weed away from the masking)

Or depending on how you're going to hang it... have 'em weld in some top/bottom pole pockets. Each banner will probably weigh around 15lbs. A piece of conduit and a couple of brackets on each side of the window should do the trick. (and another piece of conduit in the bottom to keep it taut)

+1 for citrus cleaner, but get the good stuff -- not the trash from Walmart or automotive stores. You want 85% concentrate (in spray) or up to 92% (in aerosol). It can be found in the bigger roofing supply stores -- my friend manufactures it and sells to to a lot of the big roofing supply...

Thanks :)
