If this printer is a few years old and those nozzles are unrecoverable, then it might be one of the heads going out. Try running it in single head mode to isolate which head it is. You can also try a CMYK-only profile to see if it is one of the CMYK heads or one of the "additional color" heads...

You have more than a few bad nozzles in your test print. Do you know how to clean your printer properly? (serious question, not a jab at you) If the capping station and head isn't clean-clean you will have sealing issues start to have print issues like this. These missing nozzles may be the...

We have been buying precut sizes of a similar material for people requiring magnetic receptive sign faces, but it is expensive and would be great to bring this piece of the process in-house. https://grimco.com/Catalog/Products/MAX-METALELEMENT Has anyone tried routing this material above from...

Looking for a job? We are always looking for installers here, but we're across the river by CVG.

The file has to be set up correctly as overprints & the correct spot color that your machine recognizes. It also can't do overprints/spot colors with transparency. The RIP also has to be using the correct color profile that includes the use of Spot White.

3M Dinoc?

We use PVO for templates. See this thread for ImageClub10 fun. https://www.signs101.com/threads/imageclub10.132270/ We also subscribe to Adobe Stock images and iStock. I also use some (free) images/art from Vecteezy.

I've always liked the Sihl papers. They have quite a selection, your local vendor should be able to get you some samples in.

I would say a gold chrome wrap vinyl would be what you're looking for. It isn't going to be cheap though!

We use a vendor local to us, Todd Engraving in Covington, KY. Since you're not local it might not make as much sense, but they do a GREAT job of it. Ask for Dan Wiggins there. (859) 491-0645

If you are looking for someone to outsource this to, try Grimco. They came in and went through their LED items with us when we were considering switching vendors for certain items. While they were here they said that they make these (I was hoping to get info on how to make them in-house). Ask...

We have three and have never had this issue or this poor of a print. Sounds like you need a new service tech/dealer. Also, the "quality" of the print overall itself looks questionable here. What DPI is this file set up at?

We use Onyx to increase the color/saturation in the RIP itself. We have certain percentages we use regularly for things like this. You will have to experiment as your ink & color profiles are different, but 35% might be a good place to start.

Geneva, Do you know which ones were in SignElements? I'm genuinely curious if this would be a good investment to subscribe to alongside our other resources. I know sometimes places will release templates after vehicles have been out for a while but when some are first released it takes a while...

Trailer template for an ATC PRo Fiber Trailer. 10% Scale.

Get a "Bill Collector" or "Big Squeegee" and do large passes to get it down most of the way, then go back over it to get any remaining air out. I'm pretty sure IJ35c is air release, right? FWIW, why not use cast vinyl?

If you're printing with a Gerber machine we like Arctic White here for a good solid white, Flood Coat White seems to be problematic.

https://www.signs101.com/threads/free-stuff-for-yall.118411/page-4#post-1492201 Store everything vertically. You can remove ANY sheet you want from any slot. Easy to sort materials and easy to load/unload. There's even a drawing to help you make your own there.

The only way would be with a flatbed plotter which prints "thicker" than a standard printer. White itself is not a "block out" color and lets light through it, revealing the color behind it. Which is why (opaque) white vinyl has a gray adhesive. If it had a clear adhesive the light/color would...
