Gil Sans?

I've actually had success using 1" double sided tape from Uline. I wedge an allen wrench in the key slot to keep the banner from retracting while I work. There is a great tutorial on youtube.

My Acuity (Fuji branded Arizona) is located in an area very difficult to climate control. I run several different weights of polystyrene which loves static. I do two things when she starts spitting at me: 1 - clean the undercarriage with isopropyl alcohol 99% 2 - run an invisible vapor...

I'm trying to replicate a customer's current piece of POP signage. I'm guessing its a solvent based print mounted on 3/16" foam board. The customer is open to production modifications. My first job will be around 175 signs 23" x 13". I have: Roland SG2-300 Fuji Acuity Select 26 (OCE Arizona) UV...

I've had the same thought about the signs that protesters hold in front of clinics. Somebody prints those. All beliefs aside, I couldn't stomach working with the files, or setting up the art, or pulling it off the press. I'm sure those groups have someone within their membership with direct...

"BLACK" looks like maybe a really distorted version of a Futura?

For what it's worth, I was having a similar issue with my newly installed SG2-300 (VW 6). I'm not sure if you are on a network, but this was my solution, which baffled my IT department. The following came straight from my Roland rep: "This is definitely a network connectivity issue. The best...

Yes - the barcodes are vector and I have them set as a spot color I can control in the RIP so they print 100K and there is no rich black conversion happening. Unfortunately, there are barcodes in both directions on the documents - it's POP that goes behind the product with a reorder barcode. I...

Also another excellent suggestion. I will certainly try this. I can't wait to do some more troubleshooting and hopefully get this figured out. Trying to stay moderately productive while my second printer is down with a network issue. My brand new Roland TrueVIS SG2-300, that I haven't even...

Fantastic, thank you. That's what I will try next.:)

Not likely. The bed is clean and the vacuum is holding the material down tightly. I even tried on a thicker .035" polystyrene with a different finish and I get the same results. I'm running in circles! Thanks for responding.

Currently running: Fuji Acuity Select 26 (OCE Arizona) CMYKWW, ripping with ProductionServer 9, printing on .018" white clay coated polystyrene. I print a lot of POP signage, some of which has many many barcodes. I'm finding that when I reprint files from a couple years back, the smaller...
