    Yes, we run 180 cv3
  2. 1105 ON HP 700W DARK COLOURS BANDING

    What color are you having issues with? Upload a swatch and I'll run it on our 700... We never have banding and only ever run anything at 9 pass.... Or was it 6 pass. I forget
  3. HP315

    Generally only cheap vinyl buckles... Or more importantly vinyl that uses thin cheap backing paper. Cheap 3m and cheap Avery works great. You can turn down the temp.... I'ts been awhile since I used our 3xx printer, but you should be able to do it in media settings. If you turn it down, you...
  4. Pricing 420sq/ft of Vinyl Lettering

    Im guessing you don't do next day turn around though. How busy is your shop? We're at pretty much full capacity in my shop - we have 15 employees currently.... We do a 3-5 day turn around, that allows us to fill up our day so everyone is busy and we don't have people standing around doing...
  5. Roland BN2 - Can you set up a timer to print once a day while I'm away?

    3 days is fine.... You think no shop has weekends? It's when you leave it sitting for a week, multiple times a year. And it's not like it breaks all at once, it slowly degrades.... So if you're just going away for a few days, it'll run its own cleaning and be fine. Even if you're gone for 2...
  6. Hi-Viz reflective Red stock in Canada

    Reach out to wri - they stock all of these I believe. What you'd want is 3m 3932.... The above looks like Avery, but 3m looks pretty close. Google then3m version though, it has lines through it and looks slightly different. That could be diamond grade... 3m 4092 - it's pure red without the...

  8. Static electricity on media

    https://staticclean.com/product/4103-high-speed-static-bar/ we use something like this... It eliminated all our static issues. (we got 2, in the size of the carriage head, 1 for each side / direction) - one of them is failing so our statics coming back.... But when they were new they were great
  9. Static electricity on media

    We spray it down with alcohol and wipe it off, and it helps. You can use a humidifier, or if you print a lot... Buy a deonizer bar if your flatbed doesn't have one
  10. Movie Poster sources?

    Ever try to buy movie posters or something from a wholesaler / Vistaprint? We were doing store graphics for a comic store that was just opening - We had to outsource a print that was too big for our printers... And it had the superman logo on it. Sent it to... I think 4over? Maybe...
  11. Movie Poster sources?

    You might not get caught if you're printing them just for yourself around the shop... But as soon as a customer sees it, and asks for it... What do you tell them? I feel like copyright laws are way too strict, but when dealing with your livelihood you should follow the rules!
  12. Movie Poster sources?

    You mean, copyrighted, illegal to print posters?
  13. What lamination to use on printed reflective?

    None of those are traffic series. Try this - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/2169456O/3m-permanent-signage-warranty-brochure.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwisyIPkg6eEAxWZHTQIHZgZBekQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw10P3P88X_Th7m8iY3NPpht Actually...
  14. What lamination to use on printed reflective?

    https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/661149O/3mtm-mcstm-accessories-for-traffic-sign-production-flyer.pdf on my.phone so I can't find it. Above it says "up to 12". Diamond grade is 12... And I believe the rest is 10. IIRC, the warranty is higher for digital than it is for screens... But I...
  15. What lamination to use on printed reflective?

    3M Digitally printed traffic signage has a higher warranty than screen printed does now - 3M Warranties for 12 years when digitally printed on a Latex. Screen printing inks have gotten more and more "Eco" friendly... which means screen printing is on par, or worst than digital these days...
  16. Does anyone here run Linux with use of the Adobe Suite?

    I disagree that people use Windows because it's what they're used to - our shop has a dozen or so people on computers.... Some in their 60s, some in their 40s, and some in their 20s. The 20 year olds are just as bad or worst at operating a computer - they're used to android / apples point and...
  17. Need Help Coroplast issues - seeking tips and tricks

    It works great. Fits into the honeycomb perfectly... Keeps it level, and they're cheap for when you run the laser right through them:roflmao: The acrylic being raised a quarter inch off of the metal prevents any flashback too, since it defocuses the laser beam. It's win-win, I use them all the...
  18. Whats the max width for a sign on a single post?

    Give them a price for 1/8, then give them the price for 081 and tell him first wind storm it will look like the Loch Ness monster ate it, their choice! 8 out of 10 times the customer listens when we tell them they need a beefier spec, the other two on a 10 times when they come back complaining...
  19. Whats the max width for a sign on a single post?

    There are some 24x36-in signage that is mot ( Canadian dot) specs with two holes in the center so they are made for poll mounting. If it gets really windy there they might get bent a little from the wind, but it would have to get really really windy in order for the aluminum to rip. .081...
  20. Need Help Coroplast issues - seeking tips and tricks

    I havent had to use it, so I cant say. i use a honeycomb... and I dont get any flashback on coro... just on acyrlics. I think if your cut settings are dead on there will be no / minimal flashback. Theoretically you could use a non reflective material for it to avoid any flashbacks - Throw a...
