    Issues printing 1" round labels with lots of detail

    Looks like a file issue to me, try to swap it to. Few different file types and see if that fixes it

  2. Techniques with vehicle wrap / livery

    Do an overlay with the red using knifeless tape. I’d just do an 1/8th inch overlay with the Red.

    vinyl recommendation for painted concrete - long term

    Alumigraphic or try 3M 3662 with a cast lam. We did 40’ lettering on a textured masonry surface with 3M 3662 and it’s been up for a few years and still going…

    High Tack Vinyl issue

    Arlon 8000, Substance X1 or X2, or 3M 3662

  5. Should you laminate Arlon DPF 8200?

    Arlon 3170, 3220, or 3270 would be great

  6. Suggestions Epson S80670 or S40600 or something else?

    As a long time HP user, the Epson eco-solvent is hard to beat. Everything about it is better than our HP’s except for the wait time to lam. For most graphics we wait at least 3-4 hours to lam depending on ink coverage. We’ve laminated in as little as an hour and haven’t had issues. Ink isn’t...

    Looking to "wrap" a Dirt Track Car

    Substance Pm-2755 with Laminate is what we use. Great Air Release film, for a really cheap price.

    Substance vinyl issues

    We run 30” rolls of substance x1 everyday and have for years with no issues on our hp115. We currently run all of our stuff on a 3M profile on their media and have great results. I’m thinking it’s something printer related with the heat curing temp. That would be my first guess. Other than...

  10. HP315

    What’s the material, and what cure temp is it set to?

  11. Frosted Glass Vinyl for Race Stripes?

    I would recommend Orafol 951 Clear with a Matte Laminate. Or another possible option would be Arlon Ever Etched with Flite technology. It’s a frosted glass film with air egress to help with install and should be fine on a vehicle.

  12. Old VE LXi files not opening in SAi Flexi.

    With Flexi open, open a new window and navigate to your file you want to open. Click and drag the desired VE Lxi file into your Flexi software. Should paste the contents in with no issue.

  13. .EPS files from AI

    I had this issue with eps files as well. Cutting paths twice when there was one cut line. It would do it on 90% of files. That was with the Flexi Rip. I Switched to onyx and the same files cut correctly with only one cut every time.

    Printing 70/30 Solvex Perf on a Hp Latex 360 - dry ink areas

    More than likely a curing problem, try it with a different profile or different curing temps and see if it still does it. Could be a bad roll, but I would think it’s a curing issue from what I see

  15. Will a properly set up HP 115 latex printer print grainy images?

    It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. My Latex 115 prints amazing for most things. I run a lot of 3-4” stickers, some colors can have some light grain, some are super smooth. Printing environment, media, and settings will affect it too to some degree as well. I’ve never had anyone...
