Salmon tacos... Can't see that without thinking of King of the Hill. I watch waaay too much of this stuff :p

Yeah, that's not good... Best way to keep em' running good is regular maintenance and cleaning. The dampers have filters in them, never changing them is akin to changing oil in your car and never replacing the filter... Eventually it's going to plug and not let anything through. SInce ink is...

Check for ink flow, if lines are empty or have air in them it's hard to get it back just by cleaning cycles. I've had my yellow lines go completely empty a couple of times when a cartridge went empty and didn't detect it. Fill ink can work, but I had to bleed it manually. If you have to do that...

If memory serves me right, the XC feeds forward on the 2nd pass of the test print with the head over the printed area, and it looks like something is rubbing in the feed direction... You might not have needed that new head, if my hunch is right, check the bottom of the head carriage/ head...

Use a high tac vinyl designed for low energy plastics (3M, Avery, Oracal, Prizm, pretty much all have them), a polycarb or floor lam, and it helps to do like Sightline says to have the lam larger than the print.

One of ours is glass, the other has a sheet of clear poly-carbonate on it. It ain't self healing, but it'll take some abuse.

I'd just print white vinyl with the blue & black, laminate it, cut it, and call it a day. Cheap, quick & easy, no adhesion issues... You just won't get UV inks to stick to already laminated colored wrap vinyl, they're not meant for printing. Even if you do get it to stick long enough to apply...

Just because a UV will print on just about anything doesn't mean it'll adhere. Colored wrap films that fall into the 1080, 2080, and other series are because the vinyl and adhesive properties are the same, not print-ability. They aren't coated for print, they're coated with a lam to repel...

Oracal 820, available in 55"x150'. What ever happened to creative use of rattle rockets for tagging? Using decals seems kinda lame and lazy.

Check with PCA (Packaging Corp of America), they have a corrugated sheet plant in Akron, might be worth a call to see if they'll do small quantity orders. We use a Green Bay Packaging sheet plant here (PCA's competitor), and they're more than happy to sell sheets and boxes direct to local...

Used to print hundreds of sheets of coro at a clip for large orders. The only way you'll ever get halfway clean stuff IN the door is to order pre-packed like RabidOne does, or by the skid where no one touches it between the Mfgr and you (which is what we did). Ordering by the sheets, it's like...

Always do what you're most comfortable with. But if you decide to try to tackle it, that's not a real hard one to wrap. All the real tricky parts are beyond where you'd be ending it, would be a good one for you to learn on. To make it easier, print plenty of black bleed around it to help with...

For a black vehicle I would just wrap the sides with a printed vinyl, it's easy to design the flag to be however faded or color adjusted you want, and I'd overlay all the other graphics, gives you more wiggle room on laying the wrap part making aligning them a breeze. There's good seams and trim...

With Rolands, not sure if it's the proper way, but couldn't you load them up with cleaning cartridges and use them to flush and pump out all the ink for longer term storage?

If the car is straight up black, I'd print it as a wrap & do everything below the window line, trim it off at the hood line, front & rear bumper seams, and trim it to the stripe for the transition between the back door and back window. Everything else, logo, police, etc, I'd do as separate...

If you have no luck finding what you had, I've always used the Rhino Self Healing Mats. They last years, you can get them with or without grids, they're translucent if your tables have grids, or you can print your own custom grids on anything and lay it under them... They go all the way up to...

I was with a display company for over 15 years, and we used a lot of these PET films. We got them from Big Systems (bigsys.com). They have films like you describe, roll-up, lay flat block out films with grey or white backs, prices aren't bad. The only hitch for you is they're only from 9-11mil...

Kapco makes a 10mil gloss thermal polyester.

Don't feel bad Stacey. No hangover here either, after the bills for Christmas for 6 kids, 11 grand kids, 3 great grand kids... Who can afford to have fun? Maybe on New Years Eve ;)

Well, now you know where it came from, a retailer in the UK. Hard to support sellers in your own country to keep them in business and stay competitive on prices... None of our money stays here anymore, and most of the time you don't even know it. Wonder how many people in other countries get US...
