ok. i just didn't want the reflective lettering to curl on top and thought maybe the lam would keep it in place

i plotted the reflective out to lay right on top of the lettering thats printed. we just wanted an extra "pop" for it. the letters are already thin so the reflective will give it that pop. She's doing this as an interim until she can get the full sign redone.

I'm going to have to see about that one. I think MAYBE i've printed 53. NOW, I HAVE fudged my plotting on occassion. If it gets too close to the edge and my plotter won't read it without falling off, I will add strips to the sides to make it fit in the plotter.

did you plot with that width as well? I seem to have some sort of "guard" that won't allow me to print beyond 52 (with plotter), but I don't think I've gone past 52 without plottering.

52 includes the registration marks. i don't use the barcode function. but its probably the same as the registration marks. Stacey K , what's the widest youve printed on yours?

I always tell them they must come into the shop and bring cash. Usually it's a number like $20,500 plus tax. Nothing goes into production until after I receive payment and there are no refunds. I never get a response back.

The widest I've ever been able to print on mine is 52"

if it's not too cold yet where you are, 70s ish? you can get away with wrapping it outside. box trucks are pretty quick and easy.

what machine were you running (or not running) that you had a problem with your print heads?
