It is the laminate failing, been discussed many times: https://www.signs101.com/threads/laminate-failure.154904/ https://www.signs101.com/threads/laminate-turning-brown.145117/

The 3M guys were in our shop yesterday with news that supply levels are still gonna be iffy over the next YEAR probably as long as certain resins are in short supply. Supposedly next year they'll have another production line going in Europe, so that'll take the load off their US plant some. They...

We get this same issue intermittently. Still can't figure it out. We are now in a new building with brand new network/cables/etc. It does seem to do it more when the RIP que has more in it, but we see it just as much on little bitty jobs as we do on big wrap prints. Seems to happen less often...

What about cheap banner material without hems, then put some velcro on the back/machine? Easy on/off.

We have 25ft or so ceilings in our building so it is problematic to get our plotters to operate off the RIP and not have cords all over the floor. We took some conduit pipe and hung it about 8ft off the floor from guy wires. Then we just ziptied the wires to it from the PC/network/power to the...

Sad cyclops?

Wait, are you cutting the letters or Gemini? If Gemini, they'll plan your studs, at least I thought they always used to do that for us before we got our own CNC? If you're cutting the letters yourself, just make a separate cut that only drills halfway into the letters before you run the cut that...

Check the CSV file itself also, or try an older know good CSV file.

We have printed solvent onto Avery Chrome Wrap (remove the protective film obviously) and it looked good. We also print on other chrome specialty vinyls with our Edge.

You might have to call Onyx through your service agreement and see if they can help. I'd bet you're not going to be able to accomplish this though. Onyx/Graphtec are hard to get to work together, took us 3 months to get them to make cut-server work correctly for us here to just do simple roll to...

We use Arlon DPF8000 for LSE Plastics. It does shrink a little, but it sticks down.

I am pretty sure you can flip the encoder strip over on your machine also while you wait on a replacement strip. The end at the capping station you will have to put a hole in the other side to re-mount it flipped, but otherwise it is pretty simple. After you clean/flip/replace the strip you have...

We like to use Phototex here, it is a good quality product.

You are not going to see any color improvement by running the (un-warranted) non-CMYK inks. You are going to see wraps fading quicker that use those colors.

I don't know on your particular printer, but on the one I had you just clean the strip behind the head (all the way across the printer). It's a little clear strip with a million thin vertical lines that indicate the head's location across the printer. There is a sensor on the back of the head...

When I used to deal with that error it was from the linear encoder sensor misreading where the head position was at; the carriages were physically still together, it just thought they were at different locations from the response from the encoder sensor. Dirty encoder or encoder reader...

If it shows up more in the green, try to isolate exactly which color (head) is causing the banding you see in it. Make up some solid Cyan / Magenta / Yellow / Black (etc) blocks and be sure in your RIP that they are only outputting that channel (head) in that area. That way you can isolate which...

We normally use 3M 8150 clear, but currently getting it is a problem. I have heard many times of people using just regular cast laminate.

Onyx.

Looks great! Can you tell me more about the diffuser? I'm very green with LED lighting like this and would love to know more about diffusers available for them.
