I don't know what you are talking about, I haven't had to worry about calling them on a warranty issue yet, nothing has failed.... for me anyway.

Hahaha, probably 1 rep, 1 district sales manager, and the regional sales manager. They just called themselves techs to keep from getting thrown out on their asses. :Big Laugh

If they are trying to make up for it, they can start by paying ma all the labor time I lost having to replace their product, that they wouldn't stand behind. Untill then, they can talk all they want about their new great product. Remember, reps are just sales people. How do you know when a...

I am not a huge fan of Avery either, as I had some failure with them in the past. I do however have some Utlra Met and will give it a try.

Thanks for the info. I know I can lam printable clear on it. Just wonder if one was made for printing, which doesnt sound like there is. I think a manufacturer should make something like this. I also understand color shifting with the different white points of the metallics vinyls.

Are there any metallic printable vinyls out there? Something like a white or silver metallic? Maybe even a printable white pearl vinyl. With the trend going towards metalics, something that I used to print on (high performance die cut vinyl) with a thermal transfer printer, 3-4 years ago...

I would do it one peice horizontal. Make a template of the side of the boat before designing graphics, the graphics will migrate up, in the front, due to the shape of the hull.

Thanks, O'll look into it. Any ideas on working with it?

I have a promo wakeboard boat that I am gettin ready to rewrap. The customer wants a combo of matt black and gloss gray scale. I have no problem doing this, but was wondering everyones feelings on the best products to use. I don't want to print the whole thing. I looked around a bit, but would...

Don't worry about those guys, they have nothing better to do, besides shovel snow. :Big Laugh I may just ride my beach crusier down the board walk to dinner tonight! :toasting:

I am sure you've NEVER pirated music. :notworthy:

I found that using, tripod halogen utlity lights work great to heat up large areas. I use 2 sets, if it's a large area. Put the light a few feet away and let it heat up the entire area, then move them out of the way, but still close enough to supply heat, while removing the vinyl. You may need...

I agree, I would outsource the printing to a large format eco-solvent printer. 3m 180 with a 3m 8518 lam. Thermal print would be very costly.

Thanks anyways, but I was able to pull the logo off on of their catalog pdf's.

Ok, you guy are good so I got a font I need to identify. Thanks for your help!

That may be true, but if they weren't profiled for the higher res settings, then the profile wouldn't be accurate.

The learning curve on the PC600 was fairly immense, but once you firgured it out it worked well. Yes it was slow, but for the price and small runs it had it's place. That being said, I now have a vp300, which is an all around WAY better machine. I sold my 600 just before the solvent ink...

I also found that slowing the cut to 10 mm makes the world of difference. At higher speeds you can watch the vinyl start to skew as it tracks.

The encoder strip is dirty.

It is a very simple fix. The encoder strip is dirty. Take a soft cloth and gently wipe it down. It is located behind the track that the print head/cutter rides on. It runs the lenght of the printer track, you can see a spring on the left side of the track that attached to the strip.
