We had a client that was a hot air balloon company that we did trailer wraps for come to us once with a question about how to "fix" their balloon. Apparently they had a balloon made with a QR code on it that redirected you through their website for tracking; the company went out of business and...

I've recently been (almost) running into issues with trustworthy QR code generators. Who do you use/trust for generating QR codes? I do NOT want to use one that is a forwarding QR code, that goes through a 3rd party website, just simple QR codes that take you to your destination.

Shoot me a PM!

They are really looking for Edge 1/2, but are also open to newer FX model setup.

I have a friend looking for a Gerber Edge setup and also foils if anyone is selling out.

Bringing back up an old thread. I have a GSX that's dead with a good roller, and an HS15+ with a bad roller. Removed both rollers and everything is identical, except the center chrome shaft's position. It is further out on different ends between the two machines. I tried gently tapping on it to...

I use wordart.com, has a ton of options, saves all of your work, and is cheap once you finalize the design to download the art.

Since you are in Ohio, call Trigon Imaging in Cincinnati and see what their cost is to come replace the head. They'll do it right and probably be a bit cheaper, although the heads aren't cheap no matter who you use as you/they can only buy them from D1 in the USA.

This is one thing I've noticed every once in a great while in this software: Check out his chin. It occasionally really likes to add hair where it wasn't before if it thinks there is supposed to be hair there. I've used this on a few low-res (female) athlete photos had a couple of them turn...

Yes, you CAN add resolution to an image now with AI. Check out Gigapixel AI if you haven't already. There are a couple other alternatives now, but it is still the best I've used.

Measuring this will probably be tricky so that the banner is tight; so measure twice, print once.

Get a GFP, we love ours and have GREAT support from our vendor nearby in Ohio. (Trigon Imaging) We had GBC & Seal laminators previously, but replaced all of them with GFP laminators. They run all day every day roll-to-roll and small pieces. We did have one act up and needed to adjust the roller...

It will need to be done in a couple pieces to stay down in place, too many complex curves and potentials for failure due to overstretching the vinyl. Knifeless tape is your friend here. Ask the customer to do the disassembly before the truck gets to your shop and reassembly after, a lot of...

I think your problem may be that you're "too diversified" in your skillset. It is not a problem in itself, but if you stuck to one aspect of your skillset and mastered that, then this particular specialty can pay higher than a person that can do a bit of everything "decently". (If that makes...

The reason that the airflow needs to go out the bottom of the rolls/box is that solvents are heavier than regular air, so they want to go downwards. Loosen the rolls up as much as you can and put it into the box, it definitely makes a difference; leaving it tightly rolled overnight just traps...

No, but do NOT laminate your prints until they out-gas; we wait overnight here before we laminate. I would really recommend just getting an S60, do you REALLY need the extra color gamut? We've never had any of our picky customers complain that we can't hit their colors. The extra inks are more...

We use a setting in our Onyx RIP to increase the ink density across all channels and still print at 6 pass.

S60 all day long. S40 is just a single head and half as quick. We ran Mimaki printers here, then went briefly to a latex 360, and then went to Epson. We now have three S60s here, and no issues.

Ikarasu is correct, the adhesive itself is degraded by the solvent. One you trap/block the solvent from off-gassing through the front by laminating it, it has nowhere else to go but "into" the vinyl/adhesive itself. Vinyl rushed like this will fail more often then vinyl which isn't. For most...
