  1. Best Material for Commercially Used Agriculture Equipment (Tractors, Mowers, etc...)

    I just heard back from a rep with Orafol, the 270 Stoneguard will work with all of the 3951 line, not just 3951HT, so I'll probably stick with that. I feel more comfortable running a 10 year product + laminate. I'll definitely reach out to Substance and get some samples. I'd like to see how it...
  2. Best Material for Commercially Used Agriculture Equipment (Tractors, Mowers, etc...)

    Our business model has solely been in automobiles, but we may have an opportunity coming with a tractor manufacturer to sell custom and factory reproduction decals. For automotive decals, we've always used Orajet 3751/3951 with Oraguard 290. For the Ag side, we assumed we would need to go with...
  3. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    Looks like the easiest way to do this manually is by manipulating rotation in the transform panel. You can make 0.1, or smaller, rotations and stop when the width goes back up. Not a perfect way to do it, but it's way better than dragging the rotation with your mouse.
  4. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    I don't need the resizing portion. Rotation to find smallest width is all that is needed.
  5. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    Here's a crude example of what I mean. Art board denoted with pink outline. By rotating the black shape, you can increase the size of the object. The trial and error approach, you can manually rotate the object and watch the width value increase and decrease.
  6. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    See if what works? You haven't suggested anything.
  7. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    The height doesn't matter. The only limitation is the width of the material the shape will be printed on. So the script would rotate the object to find the skinniest width.
  8. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    Yeah, the script would be used to find the correct rotation that produces the smallest width. Beyond that, scaling it is easy enough to manually do.
  9. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    Yes, trying to maximize the height based on material width.
  10. Maximize Size of Object on Artboard

    Does anyone know of a script or tool to maximize the size of an object by rotating and scaling to the artboard? I know I can get close by trial and error, but thought there might be something out there.
  11. Blotchy (Splotchy) Solid Colors HP Latex 315

    Put the old M/Y printheads back in and it prints fine.
  12. Blotchy (Splotchy) Solid Colors HP Latex 315

    Okay, this problem is really killing me now. I have new printheads and new ink. Everything looks good, but I'm getting zero yellow after the printhead change. Yellow was, more or less, fine before. When I pulled the M/Y printheads, there is a bunch of ink inside. Is this a bad printhead?
  13. Blotchy (Splotchy) Solid Colors HP Latex 315

    Anyone know how much ink is inside the printer? Meaning, how many mLs of ink are there in between the cartridges and the heads? This issue looks like it's the inks. I installed all new inks, and after several prints, I'm still having issues. I've run about 11 mL of ink from each color since the...
  14. Blotchy (Splotchy) Solid Colors HP Latex 315

    Looks like a media issue. Ran some wall vinyl on it and it printed great. What's everyone's experience dealing with getting replacements on vinyl? The vinyl was bought from Grimco.
  15. Blotchy (Splotchy) Solid Colors HP Latex 315

    I thought it could be a plasticizer issue. I wiped down the media with alcohol, but no change.
