Hi Fella, thanks for your reply. I understand it isn't an exact science. But changing the head did not require taking the ribbon cable off the board, they only removed it to view the ink lines that ran under it. The ribbon cable is approximately 2" wide and has some mighty small pins in it in...

Hey Gino, yes this was very similar to what happened with my printer. But I was down for over two weeks until they had it fixed. When they put power back to it, it immediately blew the fuses on the head board which was the board that did not have the cables that they removed and reinstalled. The...

I just talked to another company Roland serviceman and told him my problem and he said if he did that, they would be responsible to fix it. I can't have a service contract on the printer, they don't sell them after the warranty goes off. I asked they said no. What this would be like, is when...

I recently had a Roland serviceman come in to repair my printer. It had been dripping black ink out of the head, so I assumed it was the dampener, at least hoping it was. They came and did tests and then assumed it was a print head. They installed the print head and then attempted to start up...

I like this idea. How does this work exactly, would you need to anchor it on top and bottom as well as the zipper so it doesn't fall down? Plus I have an outlet that is flush to the columns that would need to be cut out. Does the fabric stay taught? I see that some places use velcro, would this...

I have a client that wants two pillars wrapped or decorated with graphics from top to bottom. I am hoping someone has had experience wrapping pillars before and can give me some insight on what technique to install the wrap. Pillars are 140" tall and 84" circumference. Would it be best to wrap 3...

What do you all use for anchors in drywall? The only thing I found that works well is the zip toggle anchor, but the hole is 1/2". So basically, taking a sign off with VHB tape will pull the paper off the drywall in spots, or if you use fasteners like this you have a 1/2" hole in all the places...

I haven't seen one trailer that wrapped over the screws where it wasn't pulling up and then cracking then pulling apart. It is almost impossible to keep all your vinyl around down around the screws. I take them out everytime. Some get stripped, some won't come out, you can buy new screws from...

Does anyone have experience hanging 1/8" polymetal sheets that are 2'x3' on a painted wall, drywall? I haven't used VHB tape on a painted wall before, and just wondering if anyone has had success using VHB tape using Polymetal on a painted drywall wall. I think it can work, if the wall is smooth...

I haven't had any 3M vinyl fail with the mc at all. All the solid colors for wrapping use this adhesive. But the banding on 180CV3 and sv480mc using eco sol max 2 inks XR640 Roland printer. I don't get banding on IJ35 C, banner material, and gloss paper, only on the 3M 180CV3 and sv480mc. The...

I have been printing on 180CV3 and SV480mc and both materials will band in most colors. It is totally frustrating. I have tried everything to reduce it but it won't go away. I print on IJ35C and it hardly has any banding at all. I print on ESM-GPP2 10 pt. by Roland and it is flawless. no...

How have you determined the micro comply is broken and will fail?

It is printed on the backing paper "SV480mc". Plus I bought another roll thinking the first one is bad and they both print the same. Is there anyone that has printed on this material using an XR640 Roland with Eco sol max 2 inks? Quite confusing not to be able to print without banding in the...

Hello! I am having printing problems on sv480mc. It seems that the ink doesn’t cover the vinyl very well. I can see lots of small white spots. It is like the ink is running away. I also get the same results with 180cv3. I put 3M IJ35C in printer and use same profile and it prints great...

Hi Ben! I need Phototex OPAS information on how it performs for you. I have issues with the aggressiveness of the adhesive when using on slightly textured walls. What are your experiences with installing onto walls? Can you install onto primer?

Awesome, thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments!

I have a client requesting acrylic signs that are 39" wide by 51" tall, using 1/4" clear acrylic. They want 4 edge standoffs, one in each corner. Is 4 edge standoffs sufficient to hold this size and thickness of sign to wall without bowing? Would it need any support in the center of the acrylic...

Yes, Installation to wall will include threaded rods to inside of building. Plus there will also be guide wires attached to sign frame.

What is/are the correct fabrication techniques for doing a two sided sign and then finish the edges to make it look like one solid sign, instead of just attaching the two faces to each side of bracket? What is the best substrate and the best way to finish the edges? Attached drawing shows shape...
