I am printing some decals on a supplied 3M white reflective and everytime the material sits for as little as a few minutes and then you advance it forward the rubber wheels leave black marks in the vinyl!!! I never get this with any of my material I run through, including reflective..... any...

I have used lots of different 3ml laminates in the last 5 years or so and ran into silvering issues that made cutting the graphics difficult as the opus reader would have difficulty reading the true registration mark. I found if something was rush and had to be laminated and cut, I would...

I always get caught with those lines that appear at the end of a roll of smooth banner material for retractables. The line in the material that is created from being rolled up with the final edge creating that mark in the material every 18" or so on the last 15 feet. I have heard it will go...

So this has been an ongoing concern for me over the last few years. For the most part the cutter works very well. I use it strictly to cut printed vinyl from Flexi that were printed on my Mimaki. I have tried just about everything today that I know but the opus reader refuses to co-operate...

I am not sure if it is the software or a file that has been imported from elsewhere. I do work for a Rolex 24 hr race team and when I set up the files I continually import older files with size changes and newer files that are sent to me so that everything for these 2 cars are together in one...

I have no idea what I did yesterday, but a file i was working on now consists of 3 pages. The final look seems to be on page 1 of 2. I don't know how I accomplished this, but I need to convert it back to a single page as when I open the file I see info missing although it seems to be on a nother...

I don't think I have seen this before, but I put the new cartridge in and the readout just shows a K in it's slot. I took it out and re-installed and it stills show K...WAIT!!!! Just realized it is the wrong ink!!!! damn it back I go to supplier....fak..friday aft

I have always sent gad files from my main computer (signlab 8 ) to my Edge computer running Omega 1.5 and in the last 3 months this strange issue has surfaced although not all the time.... Today I sent a very simple 1 colour file...I usually designate a second colour as the cut info so I can...

Signlab and flexi dont recognize this format....How can I oen this file? any ideas?

I am doing work, and have done work previously for a client who is contracted to do a renovation for a large public facility. I did the work last year and basically we printed an image that was purchased online and we scaled it up to the point where the dpi was about 50 dpi. I had the designer...

This is so typical...... What looks like an easy print cut job turns into an ongoing headache.... observe the file.... OK so this is what I am given.... I create a bleed cut to cut out all the shapes as I am applying it to a gemini routered white acrylic piece for mounting on a wall... only...

My neighbours next door are in the construction landscape business and for the most part their unit is used for storage all year.... Today they are cleaning up the equipment and doing some re-painting . I have no idea what chemicals they are using but it stinks like kerosene in here and...

Any suggestions on buying one of these? which units are cost effective and really work well, quietly? Muy Mimaki is vented, but I print 99% of the time with the front exposed and can get pretty stinky at times

Lately I have noticed that the silvering from laminating seems to be taking longer to settle down. I suppose it is due to the colder weather and not leaving the shop temp all that high, especially at night. I know it will go away over time, but if you need to cut the graphics afterwards...

I have watched these over and over for the last couple of days and can only say that it gets my adrenaline up up up....enjoy!!! Music and editing are marvelous..... http://vimeo.com/46856767 and then http://vimeo.com/53551115

This is a non recurring problem, but I am not sure why sometimes it happens and others it does not. If I set a file up in Signlab and put a white box around the graphic with a hairline stroke, sometimes the hairline does not export as an eps but everything else does. It can be frustrating...

arrrg... I can't quite figure this out.... Looks like a grotesque, but not sure. all I received was a 6, or maybe a 9. I need to do 0-9 a couple hindred times on yellow reflective.

I know I have printed on static cling vinyl in the past with no issues, but last week I had a small job and had some still in stock. The print looked weird with all the copy having a rounded corner look. Even the registaration squares looked more like rounded squares. I have to assume that the...

I have been using I tunes for so long now and all the different music and native files are a mess in all sorts of locations. Everytime I set up a new computer I have to mimick all the locations so that it finds the tunes. Many get lost or bypassed. This time I want to start fresh and put...

I have an opportunity to get a roll of optically clear laminate (cast) for $20 more than the cast regular laminate. The question is because I do not use optically clear laminate very much can I use it as a regular laminate on non perf vinyl? I ask this as when I do need optically clear lam, I...
