  1. loading prints in to cutter backwards

    Turned out to be a glitch. After restarting my production manager and turning the cutter off and on from the rear switch it started cutting properly. Guess I should have tried the old restart everything method first! haha
  2. loading prints in to cutter backwards

    Sorry I’m using flexi that came with the machine. Yes I have a laminator but it does not have a take up reel so I have do it manually . these are un laminated stickers
  3. loading prints in to cutter backwards

    I was under the belief that the barcode system allowed us to load the prints in any direction in to the cutter? Ive printed almost a full roll of stickers and loaded the printed ROLL on the back of the cutter using the roll holders. when the machine went to cut the first stickers its cutting...
  4. Window Perf Holes Clogging

    Sorry to hear about the major loss of vinyl that sucks. For future jobs on untested material you should really print a test piece before going to the extent of printing half a roll. That’s what I do anyways. start with low heat and work your way up until it is dry. Depending on ink load you can...
  5. channel letter spacers /stand offs

    So the wholesaler I get channel letters made from does not supply spacers, as these particular ones are halo lit and they come with whimpy 1/8" studs. I want to put 1 1.5"-2" spacer on them that fits snug to the the studs to help strengthen and of course space them away from the backer panel...
  6. Print & Cut Longer than 8' issues

    sounds like a printer/cutter all in 1 machine... Mimkai cjv130 had that and had the same issues, have separate cutter now (HP latex/Summa) and it cuts incredibly accurate
  7. Gray Back Banner Stand Film in Canada?

    Did you ever give the GB Roll up film from All Graphics a try on the latex? Im literally in the exact same situation you were in, was using the sihl for rollups and I hate how it prints. Was going to try the Magic POSPRO+LX but its 239 compared to 99 for the GB from AGS.
  8. Discussion Perforated Window Vinyl - Best for flat panel windows?

    Been very happy with Contravision 70/30. I use the performance line not the promotional. I’ve got jobs out there over 3 years and they still look great, and for storefronts I don’t typically laminate either so the visibility from inside is great and it’s way cheaper than 3m. I run the stock...
  9. Printing on Sihl 3216 pull up banner

    This banner does not print very well. My rep had recommended it as a "most popular" choice among customers but it sure doesn't impress me. I cant find any info on it online, even the sihl website does not state what type of material it, PET or PVC?? nor can I find a profile for it. It has fine...
  10. 48" x 96" digital print mounted to a customer furnished MDO signboard?

    Wow I’m in Canada and those prices seem really high even if they were Canadian dollars!! Wish we could make that much profit here!
  11. Folding Alupanel

    Thanks, this is what I was thinking. Where did you find the guides?
  12. Folding Alupanel

    Hi, so im hoping to start folding aluminum composite panels, what basic tools do I need to do this? Is there any good guides I can find online? I have a job coming up that ive sourced out the channel letters for and im planning on making the backer panels myself, id like to use alupanel and...
  13. 115 or 315 HP system? looking for advice

    for stickers/labels I absolutely prefer the latex over any eco solvent printer!! Why? because the latex ink does NOT saturate the vinyl like solvent does. Therefore print/cut labels without lamination are still easy to handle and don't get all flimsy when there saturated with a black background...
  14. HP Pricing Scheme

    Dealers can sell higher they just cant sell lower than a certain price. Where they tend to differ is in the shipping and installation/ training pricing. Let me guess ND was more expensive and Grimco was cheaper??? Some come with INK and some don't so make sure to check that as well. I paid...
  15. 19 foot american flag boat wrap went wrong

    3mij180cv3-10 or mc-10 are your best choices for boat wraps. I say this based on the higher tack they seem to have. I’ve wrapped lots of boats, and it always goes below the waterline, especially near the rear of boat. I’ve got boats sitting in the lake all summer with 6” of wrap under water. No...
  16. Applying etched vinyl

    Try metamark brand dry apply. It is pretty nice. It also recovers very well with heat. When you get a kink or whatever and the frost turns white a little bit of heat and it goes right back . I’m not a fan of metamarks customer service or how they stand behind there products at all but this...
  17. HP Flexi Tiling overlap

    Ok, thank you, I guess because the arrows were pointed left and right I didn't think it was doing my overlap as im printing up/down. One more question? How can I select to just print 1 or 2 tiles at a time? I don't like running more than 20ft thru my laminator at a time as its got a horrible...
  18. HP Flexi Tiling overlap

    So normally when im tiling its verticalpanels and setting the overlap is simple. However this time im wrapping a big wall that is going to be 4ft x 115 feet so I want to print it horizontally, since im not about to do it in long 115 piece I want to break it up in to 10-12 foot sections, but the...
