I am upgrading my current XC-540 due to the insane trade amount that my dealer just offered me.. Literally cannot pass it up. I am looking at both the RF-640 and EJ-640. Do any of you have any hands on experience with either.. I am trying to decide and am having a hard time doing so.. Also...

I just pulled a corner off and there is definitely adhesive, or at least it is tacky anyways. I dont know how the thermal ones work..

I do know who the company is.. But do you think they would tell me? I would imagine they probably wont let that info out.. I could try i guess. It like super super glossy. And its very rigid. If I had to guess its probably about 5mil thick.

I just recently got a bunch of work from a company that requires lots of labels and decals to be printed. They are used on their packaging boxes and buckets. The company that was doing all of their printing was backlogged all of the time so they needed to find someone local. I am trying to...

Do you have a large format scanner? I have to cut all the damn pieces that wont fit in the scanner and make these stupid reference marks to line them up and trace in Illy. Its time consuming. And I also tried the photo method and i found the same as you. If the camera isnt perfectly in plane...

Yeah I have used a Romer before.. But I am saying like a stylus that you run along the edge of a snowmobile hood say and its linked wireless to say illustrator to full scale.. basically like a wacom stylus.

I was thinking about how someone should make a digitizer that you can make use to template with.. So on the big panels how do you get everything to line up right after?? Thats is the part i get confused with..

I changed nothing. I printed this all as one continuous print. I don't know where how the settings could have changed after it was Ripped...

Thanks everyone. No I didnt flip the tiles.. I had no idea that made a difference to be honest.. Learn something new everyday. Andy D ill try that, sounds like a good thing to do. For the extra time it takes to do that it could save you in the end.

Ok so I have purchased some templates for sled wraps from a few places and non of them seem to fit to my liking.. I have made some templates myself before by using clear lam and tracing areas with sharpie and then cutting them and making lines and then scanning them in and tracing the lines...

I have a Roland XC540 and I just wrapped a 12' trailer last friday. I had each side of the trailer design tiled in 3 sections in versaworks. The design had a lime green color that faded into a sky blue color. I printed the 3 tiles for each side in succession and everything went perfectly. But...

anybody?? Can thermal apply a spot clear?

I have a Polaris RZR in my shop I am doing door overlay graphics on. I was looking at the factory graphics and I am wondering how the hell they do those? They have matte, gloss and metallic all in the same print?? Is it thermally printed? Does anyone know what printer they use? I am seriously...

Yes you are right man. I agree with you. And my work is always done the right way. With the exception of this one time being that the customer does not want pan faces. The box is 6" deep according to him... I'm not trying to argue either just came to get some advice on the extrusion. Sorry if I...

Gino I see your point.. but when someone says I want this and only wants to pay for that you kind of have to give them what they want.. I mean if you went to a tattoo artist and said I want a butterfly on my neck and the artist said no I don't want to do that because down the road you may regret...

I made him aware of that possibility as well. He doesn't care. He called me and ordered "two 4x8 lit sign faces" I asked him if the previous faces were flat or pan and he said pan but wanted flat. I told him the issues that could occur with not using the correct face for the box. He stated that...

They were pan faces and I made the customer aware that there was most likely going to be hot spots but he didn't care. And he plans to retrofit to side lit leds at some point.. Basically I am wonderin if forgoing the normal backer strips would hurt anything since it's only a little more than...

I am replacing a set of old 4x8 sign faces from a sign box and the retaining slot is a hair under 5/16. I got 3/16 polycarbonate. Do you think it is necessary to use hanging strip still? I would only be able to use a 1/16 thick strip.. and would aluminum strip work OK in this scenario riveted...

Ok thanks everybody I will do some testing tomorrow and see what I come up with! Again thanks for taking the time to try and help me out! You guys are all great helpful people!

I saw that he said to use rgb, I was just explaining what I was doing. Also I just had someone tell me that I shouldn't do any designs in PS over 150ppi because when versaworks rips it, that it actually degrades the file due to the multiplication or something? Is this true or is the complete bs?
