Thanks guys, turned the heat down to the lowest setting and they printed perfectly.... being in a rush though, I forgot to up the cut pressure and toasted another 3 yards of reflective...is it Friday the 13th or something?

Yes it is true that Duracoat can run at lower temps and usually I do. On that last run I actually increased the temp hoping it would help, but only made it worse...lowering all the way to print more. Man I hate screwing up reflective $$$$

A black sharpie might fix it as far as the look, but that's all fine and dandy if you like giving your customers inferior quality goods. A black sharpie will fade within 1 week outside in the sun. These numbers go on hydro boxes and usually are on forever.

here is another one...this time it got the bottom ones and the next print it got the top ones!!! jeeeez

I would love to know what causes this awful print to happen on my edge le. This particular one is on yellow reflective. It appears in nearly all the bottom numbers and can occur at the top as well. I am running Duracoat super opaque black. I think it is the edges of the foil curling up or...

Thanks James... that will work, but I just realized there is an option to select which page you want so I did that, then reimported and brought in the second page, so now both files are on 1 page I Signlab.

This has been a persistant pain for me. If I receive a 2 page pdf file, how do I get everything on my screen without having to switch pages. I want everything together on the screen so nothing is hidden.

I spend a lot of time diddling with that function and only to change one line of non sequential numbers and text. I guess because I do it so infrequently, it's like relearning it everytime I attempt it. The end results are worth the 4 or 5 tries getting files correct as it saves so much time

yes there is that white area every 12" or so through out as it was one bitmap sent 6 times...Doesn't look like it printed the last one but made all the moves like the others. What I mean by that is that it did that slow creep, then stop like it was getting ready to print again, but just didn't...

it may indeed have this feature, but I have one of these to control the rooftop for the front of the unit and it is programmed to come on at the same time, yet because I came in early it had not kicked in yet...so either I have one with the feature and one without, or I am just losing my mind...

I am printing a logo wall for a trade show and set the file up staggered once with 16 small logos. I then repeated it 6 times. the total distance was about 20 feet. I worked from a bitmap file. I get down to about the 94% complete and then I happen to glance at the printer and it has what...

I had the identical issue years ago with reflective vinyl. Only the parts of the striping that curved upwards to the sun had what appeared to be mold

I have a programmable thermostat for my back shop and have it timed to lick down to 60 degrees at 5pm and then back to 68 at 8 am... Came in this morning early (7:30) and the heat is on and running at 68. I went through all the programming and everything looks fine. It has a secondary time...

Plenty of shops up here that have never even heard of CAST vinyl. They never last long, but poison the well

schmootz : technical term for globular glues. I always thought it meant DIRT!!! lol Thanks

I need to produce a magnetic dry erase board 4x4, which is not an item you can buy, so in the past I have used 20 gauge galvanized steel. I want to buy a thinner sheet of galvanized steel and adhere it to alumapanel. What are some of the methods I can use to put them together without fear...

to cut the gloss and silvering down so that the cutter can read the reg marks correctly, I have actually found that rubbing the mark with an eraser not only dulls the surface but creates a bit of heat eliminating the silvering around the mark.

I'm glad I am not the only one experiencing this, can be quite frustrating.

A bright orange is very difficult for me to achieve. I did manage to get one but it required using a softer orange with a double hit. The colour was very good,but if any other colour is present, you need to figure out how to make it with a 2 pass.... a pain for sure, unless the job is worth the...

I have used this material quite a lot for certain types of jobs ( hard weeding and small letters) I generally send the pre cut graphics out to customers who apply themselves. I have learn't the hard way that high tac pre mask is a must to be able to release the graphics easily. It is a...
