  1. Need Help Seal El 54 help

    I had the same problem twice over a 1 year period. I can't really recall but the third time i called them and told them that something has to be done. They told me that there are some pins in there that get sheared and stop the gears from turning. You can weld the gear in 2 spots with a mig...
  2. Is optically clear overlam as long lasting as regular 2ml overlam?

    Is optically clear overlam as long lasting as regular 2ml overlam? I ask as I bought a Avery bundle and this is the lam it came with. I always thought optically clear was much more expensive than regular 2ml overlam. Can I use it on regular decals for vehicles?

  4. Transparacy issue in Flexi

    Yes that pantone is the colours I chose using one of those charts uploaded here years ago. I can't figure out why it has them as rgb...I manually went through all the different logos and changed the colours...Then when I went to print it somehow groups all the transparencies together so if you...
  5. Transparacy issue in Flexi

    I have matched some colours and there were 2 greys in the logo. I found after multiple tests that I could get the colour correct if I used a 90% transparency in both colours. I saved my samples and now I am setting up the files for print. What I do is set up a colour bar for all the colours...
  6. How can I fool Flexi to cut less printed graphics than the file had

    I sent out a file to print that had 10 large decals on it. I thought I had enough material but ran out. I got 8- 2 up of the decals and lost 2. They were printed on avery wrap material so I don't feel like reprinting and tossing these. Trying to eliminate hand cutting these. Normally I would...
  7. Beware of composite aluminum with clear plastic coating and no graphics

    Burned myself this morning... A customer brings me 2 4x4 composite aluminum panels and I cut 1 colour vinyl for a directory board. I used the laminator to apply it and then I am removing the premask and the graphics are lifting right off. On close examination I see that this composite aluminum...
  8. General formulations auto mark vs Avery or 3M 2ml question

    Yea I think the main concern is that shrinkage...but I also find that Avery seems to print the best on my machine and the profile I use seems to hit the colour very well.
  9. General formulations auto mark vs Avery or 3M 2ml question

    I have a project to do multiple decals for vehicles. These are just rectangular solid white decals in a variety of sizes for trucks and equipment. Customer told me to use the GOOD STUFF. The issue to me is 3M and Avery may last 8 years, and Automark is listed at 7, but the ink is going to...

    Just curious is there is a function to force the printer wipe the heads... Mimaki jv3 130 spll
  11. Emails continually get bounced back from one customer

    It basically says recipient domain rejected. Attachments or just a conversation. Today I have emailed the same person twice and no problems.
  12. Emails continually get bounced back from one customer

    Anybody know why just about every email I send to one of my customers gets bounced back at least 85% of the time? I try sending a second time and for the most part they get through but they can bounce back as well. They say I am the only one who has this problem, yet I don't have this issue...
  13. Don't waste time with high quality

    Many illustrator files come in this way and if I don't change it to a rich black, it looks like a dark rusty brown
  14. Silly Question ... Spray Bottles

    I get them from the dollar store although they are $3.50 but they are pretty good. I have bought 3 or 4 of the type you pump up and get continuous spray from but they always break..great idea though
  15. Does an actual vinyl exist with magnetic capabilities?

    Thanks guys, I have done the galvanized steel route before on smaller sizes and it works well. With a 4 x 8 I really don't want to go that route. Will just buy the board and suck it up.
  16. Does an actual vinyl exist with magnetic capabilities?

    I can't remember if I had read something about a product like this. Customer wants a 4'x 8' magnetic write erase board, but they are so expensive as I can't get a discounted price on them so out side of decorating it, I can't really mark it up. Is there a vinyl that has some form of metal in...
  17. Help! Edge 2 foils won't advance

    I can't think the file has anything to do with it at all. If the printer asks for a foil then it has a plan to use it. Can you detail just what happens after you put the foil in? Does it try to print or does the machine just sit idle?
  18. Help! Edge 2 foils won't advance

    Are they all Gerber Foils or a mix of different brands. I find that Duracoat cartridges can sometimes have the teeth broken off and have trouble advancing, but you say everything except black does not work, which is very strange
