  1. Issue with 50/50 perf + laminate

    Perf is a one to two year product. Our printers uses a 3 year ink product. Lam? What? Why? If you really feel that you need to lam try using ClearJet Hi Performance Protective Coating. Comes in an aeresol spray can, costs about $12 a can. One can will do a pretty good size window job or more.
  2. My Cut On Decals is Off Graphtec 86-130

    Check your pinch roller settings on the back of the cutting bar. Our graphtec has 4. The two outside should be set all the way down and the center ones halfway on a 54" sheet. When our cuts start to wander this is the first thing we check.
  3. HP Latex 365

    I have an 8 and a half year old 360 and a brand new 700. I would buy the 360 again if I could. Kind of bummed I bought the 700. I still prefer the 360.
  4. Mounting vinyl onto wood

    We buy MDO with one side painted, one side primed. The whole thing comes white, even the edges. Stock item at our sign supply warehouse.
  5. Vinyl Recommendation

    70/30 perforated window vinyl. About a 2-3 year product. Advertisement on the outside and gives you full view of outside, looks like tinted windows on the inside. Applies first surface outside. Spray lam or not. 3 year ink on 2 year vinyl? Any solid vinyl will block your view. Hope this helps.
  6. Golf Cart

    You might consider a color change with overlays. Unless the printed wrap is a solid or pattern that lies easy, it is hard to get everyhting straight unless your a really good wrapper. Between the time and the reprints its not worth it. We try to get $925 - $1500 for a regular EZGO 2 seater...
  7. Has busy melowed out and if so, does spring time bring sales back up?

    January was a record month for us. People are spending money. I think it may have something to do with the new Sheriff. Not sure, but hope seems to have returned.
  8. What software are you using for Sigange Designing?

    Corel, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Onyx, depending on the need. Corel and Onyx 90% of the time.
  9. laminating experience, different methods actually used by members. mono print with poly lam?

    We put 8518 on Ij35C all the time for vehicle graphics on flat panel vehicle graphics mostly. Vehicle wraps need cast on cast.
  10. Ij35/8518 Graphtec Cut through Setting?

    Got it. Thx!
  11. Ij35/8518 Graphtec Cut through Setting?

    What setting do you use on your graphtec for this type of cut contour/cut through decal? Graphtec says use tool#3 at a speed of 20 and force 10+ over the kiss cut setting. Also when setting the cut pattern depth, the settings give you 7 options, but then the graphtec video say, instead use...
  12. Suggestions Onyx Go

    I appreciate the knowledge! Thank you!
  13. Suggestions Onyx Go

  14. Suggestions Onyx Go

    Just purchased a new HP 700 that comes with a free year to ONYX Go. On our old ONYX 12.2 version, we could see how much vinyl a print will take up. This was very helpful, because we could see how much vinyl was on a roll, then load print files, and know that we had enough substrate on the...
  15. For Sale HP Latex 360 for sale

    We just replaced our HP Latex 360 with a new HP Latex 700. The 360 has been on a maintenance contract since we purchased it in 2016. Having to reinvest in our business rather than paying Uncle Sam, we decided to purchase a new printer this end of year. To be honest I am missing using the...
