For Hertz Car rental. anybody know it?

I was laminating a print for cutting and kept staring at the registration squares and realized that they are not square. I even measured them and they are indeed rectangular. I print and cut from Flexi and thought why it would do this when 99.9% of the time they are perfectly square. I was...

I am Canadian, but I just had to watch the debate last night. WOW!!! Would love to know how the sign people here, reacted to the debate....

I made this sign for a rather large car parts mfg. I have done quite a few for different plants as they pass my name off and they need them on the production floor. I did one about 2 months ago...rush naturally and today I receive an email from them telling me they have no where to hang it and...

I was washing my sons car and I was looking at this flat black paint, or so I thought around the window area when I saw this.... I can't believe they use vinyl on something like this...How long could it last?

My Edge le loves to do the beeping thing, now about once every month or so. I know to put it on the side and basically push on the boards to make sure they are in and fiddle with different connections. Sometimes I seem to find it on the first try and sometimes it can take 3 or 4 tries. The...

I have a customer who wants a vinyl to put on machinery that can withstand 200 degree temperatures. They sent me pics of the machinery and it really does not make sense as where the graphics go are on the outside of the units...Cant think the outside of the machine would get that hot as it...

I am just wondering when running a job through Flexi for print, how the settings get saved. I know they do get saved as I see them on some files when I open them at a later date. Today for instance I am running a file that I run probably once every few months and everytime I open it and send...

I have written about this before and I still have issues with these new permanent chips my 3rd party ink supplier has given me. When I finally decided to go 3rd party I was told permanent meant forever....not so.... 2.5 years.. In any case, just wondered if I could use a permanent chip...

A client called me and tells me they have 18 vehicles that were fully wrapped. They are a subsidized govt non profit agency. They have changed the logo and want it replaced in 4 areas on the vehicle. The older logos were vinyl cut and applied over the main wrap. The areas are pretty small, I...

I ran 9 decals last week for a customers client. the spec was that they wanted a removeable vinyl with a matte laminate and that is what we did. the colour was pantone 306 (light sky blue) and white with a small bit of 116 yellow. My customer forwarded their clients email complaining that...

My printer is 8 years old and I was considering updating to a newer Mimaki. I print from Flexi, but hear that Mimakis run their own rip now. How does one convert the files and colour info across to the new platform? Can it be done or do you basically re work all the files?

I have a small order requesting removable vinyl. I have lots of wall vinyl hanging around and know it is removable.... should I use it? I assume it is for short term

I have Signlab 8 and received a pdf file that has bitmaps and vectors mixed. When I import the file a box opens asking me the resolution I want. When the file opens on screen it seems to be one bitmap and can't seem to find a way to separate the vector parts. Now I also run an older...

I have been using the bottle type replacement cartridges for my Mimaki now for over 2.5 years. Prints great, in fact I feel the ink is better than OEM. Having said that, I have now been experiencing problems for the last 3 or 4 months. One day when starting up the printer, it had trouble...

I have a designer who works with me, but not for me. One of his friends worked at a company and they gave him a fair amount of business. the friend has now quit his job and the client is asking for their files as they do have someone working on site that can design ( not one tenth as good as...

My printer is having trouble reading chips...suggested to update firmware, have no idea where to get it? anyone know?

Other than the price being about $3.00 more per yard in the 15" size from my supplier....just wondering if there are any actual differences. One is Edge ready, the other is not...that basically means it might be a bit cleaner, but outside of that I have no clue I am a little ticked off as I...

I knew it would be problematic. I ran some tests for some 3' x 6' banners that have a complete grey background. I matched the colour pretty good under indoor lighting. I took the swatch outside and I will say that if I wanted to see a slight mossy greey grey I could, but I could also...

As the title says.... Why?
