  1. Replicated Worn-Off Hand Lettering

    I did this job recently and I thought it was pretty cool. Curious what others think. The goal was to replicate worn off painted lettering with vinyl. The old timer at my job said only real sign painters will know what I got wrong, can you tell? :big laugh: (kinda dreading finding out all the...
  2. Aslan DryApply Window Frost - have you applied this wet?

    Hey, so I just realized that I've been wet applying a "dry apply" vinyl. I wanted to know if anybody has done this and if the vinyl will fail because of this? Thanks.
  3. Just a FYI about a US Marshal scam going around

    I just wanted to warn people about a scam that involves people impersonating the US Marshal. They'll say they've intercepted a package with drugs, money and fake ID's in your name. Hang up if they call you! This is a horrible scam, they really had everything well planned out. They'll say "if...
  4. So this is looking bad... s80600 has been turned off for a week :(

    So we went on vacation on the 23rd and during the storm we lost power. Today I turned it on. So it was probably about 7-10 days that it was completely powered off. Right now it's doing lots of automatic cleanings and maintenance, been about 15 minutes of cycling, and I'm hoping someone can give...
  5. Printing white under color is muting the color? S80600

    So in the picture I was trying to do a "triple layer print" with a solid block of green, then I printed the same color green on top with a white under layer. You can see that the colors are very different in luminosity. I have done this method plenty of times but it seems to work only with reds...
  6. Need Help This banding has stumped me. s80600

    The banding starts happening after about 2' of printing and continues to worsen the longer the print goes. I've manually cleaned, auto clean, done the feed adjustments and head adjustments both manual and auto.. I think it's something beyond my grasp and I'm wondering what the next step should...
  7. Suggestions What media would be good for art prints on an eco solvent printer? *not canvas*

    I usually order Giclee prints on Somerset Velvet or other nice fine art papers. I got a roll of matte white epson photo paper and it kinda sucks with the darks no matter what media setting. Just seems suboptimal. Any suggestions?
  8. Removable Printable Translucent vinyl?

    I'm looking for a removable, printable translucent vinyl to replace our usual stock of IJ63, which seems to be getting discontinued. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
  9. Color difference between 3m 1080 & 2080 Matte Deep Black?

    Hey, I have to order some vinyl to match a 1080 Matte Deep Black wrap. Does anybody know if there is much of a difference in color? I assume it wouldn't be much if anything, but it has to be an ~*~*exact~*~* match so I figured I'd ask you guys before ordering the 2080. Thanks!
  10. Wacky error when importing cut-only files into Onyx

    I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. It happens every time I try to import a SVG file into Onyx as a cut-only file. Work flow starts in Omega 6.5, save or copy/paste cut lines into Illustrator so I can export as a SVG file, import to Onyx cut server Any ideas? :thankyou:
  11. Do you charge no-show fees?

    I saw that post about rush fees and that reminded me of this question.. Do any of you fine people charge for no shows? We seem to be having a problem with vehicles not showing up for their appointments. They also seem to get mad they have to wait another month before we can fit them in again.
  12. Has anybody integrated VR programs such as Gravity Sketch in sign design?

    I'm embarrassingly obsessed with these design programs for VR. I'm not looking forward to the whole Metaverse future buuut I think it's really cool to be able to design in 3d, literally IN 3d. I was thinking that it would be cool to design that way and transfer the "sketch" to a 3d printer or...
  13. s80600 banding.. damaged print head? pic

    Soooo this looks bad? I am having some banding issues that seem to come and go. Nozzle check looks great, head alignment test looks great, media alignment test... NOT great. I didn't see any explanation of this "look" online. I have cleaned the head manually and ran a cleaning. Media is...
  14. ISO ideas for April Fools shop pranks

    I work in the vinyl department and I have a lot of scraps I need to get rid of, thought maybe I could use them for some pranks of some sort. I need some ideas though. My intended targets are my bosses, the road/shop guys and the graphic designers. Any input appreciated, doesn't have to be with...
  15. How much more ink does a 12 pass use than a 4 pass?

    I'm using the Epson s80600 with Onyx. We are printing a vehicle wrap that is basically a solid color (slight gradient throughout) and I'm worried about banding as we had some to start. I got that sorted out and suggested we run it on a higher pass. I used 4 vs 12 as an example. Now we aren't...
  16. Paint mask won't adhere to awning

    We are in a pinch so we are using Briteline MultiGrip because nothing is sticking to this awning fabric. The multigrip works but is obviously not ideal. I read online about using mod podge to seal the edges (the real concern) and that would also keep the vinyl stuck down. Since we haven't done...
  17. Help! Epson s80600 "call for service" but they're still closed for New Year

    So we just had from Christmas eve until today off from work. I expressed concern about leaving the printer and a few of the guys who would be here throughout the week assured me they would shake the white ink cartridge. Well yeah, they admittedly only did once. We didn't put it into storage mode...
  18. Question Onyx PosterShop and Vehicle Wraps

    Hi! I was wondering if you are able to print tiles separately in PosterShop. We have been using the free version but it became clear that we need to upgrade as soon as a wrap job came in. I just want to know if it's possible to tile a half size photo, send one tile at a time to print and change...
  19. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    My hands are always covered in minor cuts and scrapes from materials and, I guess, a lack of coordination with the xacto :oops: I don't really care but outside of work I get a lot of comments that I should wear gloves. I can't imagine working with vinyl with gloves on, I'm frustrated just...
  20. White Ink Waste: Does the s80600 use white to mix colors?

    We got the printer recently and we haven't printed much white so far however it was the first cartridge to run out. I am wondering, is white used to make other colors? Thanks :)
