Burned myself this morning... A customer brings me 2 4x4 composite aluminum panels and I cut 1 colour vinyl for a directory board. I used the laminator to apply it and then I am removing the premask and the graphics are lifting right off. On close examination I see that this composite aluminum...

I have a project to do multiple decals for vehicles. These are just rectangular solid white decals in a variety of sizes for trucks and equipment. Customer told me to use the GOOD STUFF. The issue to me is 3M and Avery may last 8 years, and Automark is listed at 7, but the ink is going to...

Just curious is there is a function to force the printer wipe the heads... Mimaki jv3 130 spll

Anybody know why just about every email I send to one of my customers gets bounced back at least 85% of the time? I try sending a second time and for the most part they get through but they can bounce back as well. They say I am the only one who has this problem, yet I don't have this issue...

I can't remember if I had read something about a product like this. Customer wants a 4'x 8' magnetic write erase board, but they are so expensive as I can't get a discounted price on them so out side of decorating it, I can't really mark it up. Is there a vinyl that has some form of metal in...

requirement is that it must withstand 350 degrees Celcisu or 660 farenheit. Even if there was such a product how would the ink fair? laminate?

Why would I want to do that...Simply my supplier ( the only one in Canada) are away until the 11th. I was pretty sure I had enough ink, but it seems that my yellow has gone down to the INK LOW warning way too soon. I figure I could just get an OEM Mimaki ink to use as we never needed to...

Maybe it's me but I have a pantone book lined up with this Avery colour chart and not even a close match...in fact the Avery pantone 293 is a better match. Normally I would not be so anal, but this is for a transit company that already has 100's of vehicles driving around, and I am being rushed...

Customer spilt coffee on their 4x3 hop up and wants to know if it can be dry cleaned or cleaned at all. The fabric I found out is a powerflex polyester with lycra. I only suggested that they try using a damp cloth with a very mild detergent first and if that does not work, try and find an...

I have had this issue in the past and a good cleaning of everything in the wiper area usually stops it from sitting idle until someone hits the enter button. Now I have cleaned everything heavy duty twice and it still happens. Not sure why, but wonder if it is best to just keep the printer...

Would a high pressure washer be the best way to remove large graphics from a raw aluminum trailer? pro's and con's?

I printed 9 panels of photographs for a client that has basically a hollywood squares wall in his board room. Each panel is actual frosted glass. It felt smooth to me and I never even gave it a second thought that I would run into trouble,. because each photo completely filled the panel I...

I just swapped out my old hard drive with a cloned new drive and everything is working fine, except I now seem to get a holding message in prod manager and it never sends the file out to print. If I send it again from the prod manager , then it re rips it and it goes to print. never had this...

A Customer is requesting something that probably works like a step stake but is designed to be held in one hand for events and protest marches. .

A customer brought in a 12' trailer that we lettered up about 8 - 10 years ago... We used that premium chrome vinyl by Coburn. One side that sits in the sun for the most part is completely faded to clear and he wants 1 side and the rear redone. I started with the steamer and a plastic razor...

Was vacuuming and found this little plastic gear on the floor. Not usre it came from the printer. JV3 It is 1/2" high. Anyone have any ideas if it fell out of my printer?

I am not sure why I always feel that I am supposed to run heat settings at 45c pre heat and 40 c print. I use it basically on all vinyls and scrim banner and seems to work. Where I seem to find an issue is on Grimco's Sihl banner material and other similar types of retractable banner...

...as the title says I somehow right clicked and removed an attachment. I can't say that I have ever done that before and not sure how to get it back. I looked in my recycle folder but nothing. any ideas before I sheepishly email the client back to resend it?

How do I get sequence plot to be on all the time? Thanks

I understand with large corp'ns, that trying to track an individual down can be quite exhausting, but I now find this seems to be a trend with smaller companies as well. Nobody wants to pick up a phone!!! I find that emailing can be such a slow process when you are trying to keep your...
