I bought some optically clear laminate for the window perf. The instructions on the sheet say to let it lay flat for 12 hours before applying. Can someone tell me why? and will it mess up if we apply it now rather than wait 12 hours?

So in the past week we have had 3 customers change designs and graphics up to (thankfully) we begin printing. When it gets to that point we have been able to tell them "This is your last change". They have been fine with it. This last one, I finally told my partner that if he makes another...

I am printing 30ij5100R (reflective) on my hp315. I need to know which profile to use for it. Anyone have an idea which one comes closest? Thanks.

I have an old Roland Camm 1 PRO (GX500). I bought it used. I've been having a little issue with it. I have avoided really working with the issue until NOW. I have a pool company that has a whole bunch of circles in the logo. I printed 6 yards of material and went to cut it and everything is OFF...

if someone sends you artwork. A sketch. And you have to vectorize and/or redraw it, who owns the artwork?

Yea. I got my prices down. Now I have my share of crazy in the customer department. Dude comes in wanting a decal for a motorcycle. It's a nude sketch of his wife. He came in June. Picked the blue for the outline off of a pantone color chart I have on my wall. I printed it on a black...

So, I have a pretty old plotter. A Roland Camm-1 Pro. (GX500). I've had it for a couple of years now. I bought it used. I've been told these things just don't die. I've been able to figure out pretty much everything on it...except this: SOMETIMES the test plot cuts with weird curves. I don't...

So, I used to be a teacher. I have a lot of teacher friends and they are always asking for things I can provide for them. Some are really getting creative during this coronavirus pandemic and the start of school. One teacher will be doing her all of her classes remotely through zoom. She wants...

I seem to always be curious about pricing. I just want to make sure I'm priced right in my market....Trying to stay abreast pricing in the area. I know the generalities in the area, but I'm curious. Does anyone else use this website? http://thesignexpert.com Is it fairly accurate? I kind of...

I got a graphic from someone who wanted a 4x4 (foot) sign for his trailer. and 3x10 (inches) decals. The image in a jpeg was too small so I asked for another version. He gave me the PDF. It had a gradient in it. I put it in flexi and then put a contour around it, then duplicated it. I flipped...

So, I keep having to replace the printheads. The optimizer. I ran 2 jobs on a brand new printhead and now the optimizer printhead shows a lot of nozzles out AGAIN. What is wrong with the machine?

Ok, so I had print issues thinking that it was printheads and optimizers. ALL of those have been replaced and everything prints nicely EXCEPT ON my heat transfer vinyl. For some reason the black is fuzzy. like it's dropping too much ink. I have selected another color profile and changed the...

My HP315 suddenly starts printing fuzzy images. I'm thinking it's a print head but when I look at the status on the printheads it says that the optimizer's nozzles have a bunch out. But I just replaced it. Like 2 weeks ago. The other printheads don't seem to have as many nozzels out. What else...

can anyone tell me what font this is?

Last week I had my HP315 looked at and checked over by my supplier. It was giving me an error message 61:03. Because of this forum I figured out that it was possibly the internet connection, but it kept happening so I called a guy in. He told me the printer was drying at too high of a...

Anyone know where I can get some on the cheap? Apparently the local stores are out. I accidentally bought ethyl alcohol (no I'm not drinking it). And it's an odd smell. Like GIN. I normally buy alcohol at walmart, but with this silly coronavirus, I'm having a hard time locating it. That...

I have just moved into a new shop and we are printing graphics for the walls. They are super cool graphics with a lot of elements to them. Large files. One wall was 39,000 KB. So, I am trying to print and it takes FOREVER to load the graphic. Once I get it to the RIP and Print, it seems...

So, my business is growing and I love it. But I'm having a hard time with art fees, design fees and set up fees. For example. I had a customer call today. I told her the standard banner is 3 ft a 6 ft and I charged $4 a square foot. So the banner is $72. She had a general idea on what she...

So, I need a little extensive help on security signs. I have a security company for a neighbor who wants to purchase a large quantity of signs for me. He wants them for the customers' yard signs. I THINK the substrate I found is aluminum 4 ft x 10 ft with .040 mil. Then I was going to print...
