  1. Question Accurate Vehicle Template?

    I always trust Pro Vehicle Outlines over anyone else, only ones we've never had any accuracy issues with except for Bad Wrap which is really my go-to unless they don't have the vehicle I need.
  2. Flatbed Print limits?

    Haha good point! And kudos to Bill! That'll show them, if you can get a low-res internet upload to print right there's definitely no excuse for the other vendor in question to have this issue. Hopefully they fix it for you Kentucky.
  3. Flatbed Print limits?

    Hey Adam, I'll respectfully disagree... I could run that job in billboard mode all day long and it'll look correct (it may not look amazing compared to a higher pass count, but billboard mode wouldn't ignore shades of gray like that). I really don't think this is a print speed issue. To me it...
  4. CET = Handtop = CET??

    Give Dave a chance. He's a busy guy and bear in mind he's the president of the company, not a salesperson, so he's not sitting at his desk waiting for customers to call in, he's running a company. I will tell you this, we bought our CET having not seen one in person or even seen a print off of...
  5. CET = Handtop = CET??

    CET does equal Handtop. CET has some ownership in Handtop, but I don't know all the details of their relationship. Adhesion to coroplast, acrylic, and other tough substrates is like superglue, at least with the 50 series inks. We have the 100" hybrid with Spectra heads, feel free to email or...
  6. Dreamscape Wall Mural

    Can I ask why you are using a self-adhesive material over a true paste-up media? I'm guessing by the nature of this post you don't have a ton of experience with wall murals like this. I don't mean that to be offensive so please don't take it that way, just curious. If you've not don much of...
  7. CET Flatbed Printer Electrical Issues

    I'll echo everything Aaron said. We experienced a very frustrating year or so, but in the end we've been made whole and have a machine that is printing perfectly and finally making us money. I obviously wish we didn't have to go through what we did, and I know Dave wishes the same, but it is...
  8. stilt fun guy....

    Was wondering the same thing...
  9. Did I get a bad roll of media? Orajet 3751 RA

    Heh. Printed 4 or 5 rolls of 3751 over the last couple weeks flawlessly, opened a roll this morning and having this issue again. Oracal definitely has a problem on their hands. I really want to like this vinyl, when it prints right it prints beautifully, and same when it applies right, but...
  10. Customer buys printer

    I'm with you on this. I'd be mad too that a customer tried to cut me out of the equation, but he still needs you, take advantage of that, take the money and run. Better to make some money off the guy than none at all, right? I get it's the principal and all, but it sounds like he's going to...
  11. JVV vs SS21

    We've been using Triangle JVV in our JV33 for a few years now, it's pretty good, although honestly I didn't really see any noticeable increase in durability or gamut over OEM. It is significantly less expensive though. We just switched to Nazdar/Lyson this week because we were having some...
  12. Blank panface signs

    Hendricks. www.hvfi.com Neon Engineering is the local dealer for them, you can order through them or direct through Hendricks, but you'll be billed through Neon.
  13. Help JV33 Fabric Ink sinking in

    We've found fabrics, even those meant for use in solvent/ecosolvent machines, to be extremely finicky and difficult to print. We have the best results with the heaters fairly high and by printing in unidirectional at a lower resolution and high pass count, and sometimes by double-striking the...
  14. Flat Bed Printer oce / Fuji Acuity

    Aren't those the same machine, just rebranded?
  15. Cordless tool combo, what you like?

    I've been a long time Milwaukee fan. Currently we have a few of their V28 combo kits. The V28 line is a few years old not and isn't made anymore, and the batteries are starting to fade a bit, so I'm probably going to go with their new M28 line. I've got an electrician buddy who swears by...
