  1. Frosted Glass Vinyl for Race Stripes?

    Avery Etchmark https://graphics.averydennison.com/content/dam/averydennison/graphics/na/en/documents/Product-Data-Sheets-NA-ONLY/SandC/opaque-sign-cut/supercast/pds-sc-900-specialty-window-films.pdf
  2. Epson S80600 Wasting a lot of Material

    We roll the media back until it's only about 3/4" under the media holding plate to start a print.
  3. Epson S80600 Wasting a lot of Material

    My 80600 will start printing exactly where I set the material. It does not run out any leader before starting to print. Maybe you have set it to run out a leader and need to turn it off?
  4. Printing on wristbands (BW and Color) - What printer?

    The printable Tyvek wristbands I've seen advertise that they can be printed with a desktop inkjet printer (the kind you use in an office)
  5. Need Help Laminating ACM/Max Metal

    Rather than trying to laminate to solve an ink adhesion problem, you should probably solve the ink adhesion problem. A building is only as good as its foundation, and in this case, the bond of the ink to the panel is the foundation. Same reason why just slapping another wrap over an old...
  6. Customer requesting relief cuts in vinyl

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with cutting around those recesses. The resulting white gap is small and is far less obtrusive and damaging than the vinyl lifting out over time and then breaking and peeling on its own. Even with wrap materials like this it happens.
  7. DTF Decals

    1 Dollar Transfers is the company I have settled on.
  8. DTF Decals

    I guess I have seen instructional videos about putting the heat press DTF onto mugs and figured that's what you were talking about. This is obviously a different technology. I wonder about the longevity of the adhesive to the mug. It wouldn't be difficult to improve on vinyl lettering on a Yeti...
  9. DTF Decals

    They're not really stickers in the way we think of stickers. The adhesive is a similar (or maybe the same) heat press adhesive that the garment DTF uses. So you have to heat press the sticker onto the coffee mug or whatever else you want to put it on.
  10. Reading registration marks on Substance chrome material

    We deal with that by putting application tape over the mark and drawing the mark with a Sharpie
  11. DTF Decals

    I have used DTF for garments. It is superior to print-cut heat press film for sure, and so far (we've been using it a year or so) it is superior to both screenprinted transfers and also actual screenprinting. The detail and color and clarity of the printing is as good as a wide format inkjet...
  12. MDO Panels - Primed vs Painted?

    You can do an installation with less bracing/stringers if you use 1/2" MDO because the face can be a structural member of the installation. But you do have to take into consideration the shop time of prepping the board (especially if you have no painting tools and supplies).
  13. MDO Panels - Primed vs Painted?

    HAS to be painted, front and edges. Best to use oil-based bulletin paint like Ronan. Roll it on with a thin foam roller (after thinning with the appropriate reducer to get the right viscosity) and then brush out smooth with a high quality, soft wet 4" brush. Let dry at least 24 hours until...
  14. Black streaks??? WTH?

    The OP says he thoroughly cleaned the whole printhead and carriage area and there is no fuzz present. In addition, fuzz on the printhead/carriage usually presents as discrete droplets and will also occur on the edges of the material outside the print area, on the hold-down devices, anywhere the...
  15. Is there any way to salvage these???

    In my experience, if you spent as long uploading photos and posting to customer support at Signs365 as you did here, they'd have sent you new ones free.
  16. The joys of customers...

    Yeah, I love the people that want to wrap so it covers up accident damage.
  17. Black streaks??? WTH?

    Static electricity due to low humidity. Get a humidifier and keep the humidity in the room up around 40% before printing.
  18. Need Help Prep Illustrator ATV / Snowmobile Graphic Files for Printing

    If they had the objects combined as large ones, you need to break them apart before you start adding your graphics so that each individual piece of vinyl is an individual object. Those with holes you will have to recombine the outline with the hole. Then when you go to print, you can handle each...
  19. What's this called?

    Gravoply
  20. Need Help Prep Illustrator ATV / Snowmobile Graphic Files for Printing

    The templates are set up so that you can visualize how they fit together on the ski. They aren't meant to be printed in that arrangement. Take the pieces and rearrange them to fit in your print width.
