Ok, I get it. Not sure why you're splitting hairs.

It seems like opinions are really divided. I just wanted to know how it was done... I still don't know what kind of cast vinyl would be fine to use because I am interested in protecting the gold material, regardless of it is already coated or not.

I would agree

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight!

What kind of clear cast vinyl do you use? Do you throw it on a plotter and have it cut to shape and then lay it over top of the graphic?

Hi All, This truck was in our shop and I have no idea how their decals were done. I should've grabbed a photo before it left, but they had gold engine turn overlaid on black and the two layers were laminated together but the laminate was bigger by about 1/4 inch so it sealed the edges...

SOLUTION: I got in touch with the vendor that we got the printer from and they were very helpful. I sent him tons of photos showing that the printer, printheads, and inks were all in good condition. He said that in rare cases, the print profile could become corrected. We were printing on 3M...

How do you turn color correction off?

Our printer has been the least problematic of all of our equipment. I guess it's taking it's turn to become a thorn in my side, though I definitely think its not helped by my lack of experience. I've only been in this industry for 2 years and this is the only printer I've ever worked with. And...

I've noticed that as well, but its definitely a much larger difference than what the material or laminate could account for. I found another old graphic from a different customer that had gray in it. It came out purple too and it was much more obvious.

I didn't swap the bad ones back in. I removed the old ones and replaced them. I had to replace more than I thought initially because the print was still not coming out correctly. I will try the color calibration Ronny Axelsson suggested. The 315 has the ability to do it itself, but I haven't had...

I will replace the C/K that I didn't replace yesterday when the new one comes in tomorrow. All of the other printheads that are in now were put in today or yesterday. It seems really costly to have to change out the printheads every time we want to print a grey like this.

Hi guys, I'm really hoping I can get some help here before I have to call HP or explain to my boss what's going on. I'm honestly at a loss and feeling really frustrated by my lack of knowledge about these large format printers. I replaced a C/K and both M/Y printheads yesterday after noticing...

That's pretty much what I was told by our vendor as well. Thanks!

Hi All, A local fire department purchased a new rescue boat (aluminum) and they want reflective vinyl graphics in a location where the vinyl would be submerged in water. I don't have experience with putting graphics on a boat so I don't know how the material I have on hand (3M-IJ680CR-48) would...
