yep, shakey shakey every time it asks....I thought that was the only way to stop the beeping! ;) Never did like how they went back in. Most of our work is not super colour matching, so if we didn't do it, I'm sure nobody would care! Still, what the hell is with the MELTING????? how can the...

Gloss? how about polished stainless rear doors on a semi? how is THAT legal? Back to the OP, the example pic has the usual failure to think about the design...the whole wrap could have been moved up 3", and then you could read the copy, rather than obscured with the reflective tape. Agree 100%...

Hi there, do you still have the software? might be interested, let me know. I'm in BC. thx Perry signshop@kelowna.ca

I'm not a pro fabricator, but done my share....first question is; what are you making? Sounds like you need this perfect joint. ok. Lexan comes in rolls, so perhaps it would make sense ( next time) to avoid the joint. A bevel on a 1/8" joint is not going to add much strength over a simple butt...

The equipment is important, sure. What hasn't been mentioned is the operator, or physical plant, so I'll touch on that. I ran a Gerber 4'x8' table for years...good solid machine, rather overpriced, like all Gerber stuff! some points...... space: you don't just need room to walk around it...

Welcome to the crazy inconsistency of Roland. I also had perfect printing this week....then the next job had significant banding. Changed the media profile, the next run printed perfectly. Calibrating to fix banding doesn't seem to 'fix' anything, nor does running a 'clean' when the banding...

After losing money doing a few trucks with domed rivets ( when we expected the flatter ones) we started to suggest mounting something like .060" white enameled aluminum ( same as the trailer sides essentially) after we had applied the graphics flat on a table in the shop. They took the panels...

The one I saw a video of, maybe 10-15 years ago, I think a Japanese firm developed it, it was printing graphics on the side of a VAN!...yep, just had a wheel that tracked ahead of the printhead, and it would ensure the head ran over and cleared hinges, door handles, etc. Great, except for...

ah funfunfunfun troubleshooting....ok, admitting I haven't used an edge for the last 12 years, but did use it daily for 4 years. If I saw this, I'd try running the vinyl thru machine #1 again. The same roll may not be consistent for all 50 yds. Try wiping the surface with isopropyl, and see if...

Pretty sure I don't know nuttin'...'bout nuttin', but simple logic would say; put a simple valve in the line feeding the printer, say on the nearest wall, you probably have a union there anyway. check that it's reasonably airtight...you'll know the first morning. turn the valve 'off' at the...

Assuming it has NO faces now, another option to 'cheap out' would be to stretch heavy banner material over the box, hold in place with the current retainer. In bold letters on the invoice: " temporary sign panel, not to code, no warranty express or implied" if you think that will help.

Looks like my Graphtec panel....perhaps goto their tech support site and see if the reboot procedure is in the FAQ. bummer. I've never tried the 'power on' process, worth a try eh?

Pretty sure that font is called " ...a guy with some masking tape - italic.." and, to the painters' credit, it does pretty much meet the regs, unlike 90% of the marks out there. The one provided by Aerographics, well, kudos to them for trying to meet the regs, but any competent sign guy can take...

Funny the service guys wouldn't know who really made the cutter; I thought most larger Gerber were re-branded Mutoh plotters, but I may be a decade behind the times! I agree the actual roller is likely fairly generic, why not try some from a wide format printer, rather than cutter only?

a few weeks ago, everything pretty much normal. NOW....the printer will pause in the middle of a 5- minute print job and run a 'clean'. On larger jobs, obviously this can cause marks in solid colour areas. What happened? Why is it doing this, and how do I turn it off, or 'back' to normal. any...

I have an Edge FX, and print to it from FlexiSign 12....using the Flexi Production manager, set it up as a 'printer'. works about 50% of the time. VERY frustrating, some jobs run fine, others either have bizarre lines appear or simply refuse to print, with the usual inscrutable messages on the...

I have both 12 on one machine, and 19 on the other. what the hell is a 'rendering intent'? I've always used Versaworks as the RIP, and always have problems with transparencies...any kind of 'effect' makes that off-color box around the graphic. Word was it's a 'pdf' problem, and they are...

I also tried in Flexi....using the 'distort' function. had to do it once, then rotate 90 degrees, do again, as the envelope was not a perfect sphere. didn't quite nail it. often I find you need to put the object inside another, larger shape so that all the distortion doesn't happen right at the...

well guys, our VS540 does the same thing, makes that rough sound, but only on occasion. short runs are quiet. Longer runs, more than 5 or 10 min print time, halfway thru it will start growling away! THen on the next job, quiet. Sent a recording to our tech, who didn't really troubleshoot it...

hey Frank, looks like there is no way to PM folks on here, unlike some other forums I'm on....if you want some feedback from a 35-year vet of the industry, send an email to signshop@kelowna.ca and we'll chat. Perry
