Don't switch vinyls, just get some more training. I know personally I can't do what the better installers here can do and I gladly admit it.
The cuts you're talking about are just made by good/steady installers, so are the wraps that don't lift out of the deeper recesses.
Spend the money and...
Those printheads are all damaged and cannot be repaired. Mimaki "for some reason" used button heads screws in the capping station instead of flush/recessed mount screws. If the heads get stuck to the caps (like if you don't use it for a while) it'll damage the heads like this when they drag...
Ours runs on its own breaker, but it all plugs into the same surge protector which goes into 1 outlet.
I'd definitely run 3 different wires from the breaker box over to the 3 different machines. If necessary, maybe add a sub-panel with a main breaker for these items and then branch out from...
The foam rollers from Home Depot work well on many surfaces, our installers love them on rivets and other surfaces. Just take a browse around the hardware stores and see what you can find/re-purpose.
The problem with competing with Grimco is that they will discount their product and even lose money to put a competitor out of business.
Once the competitor is gone/absorbed the price raises for everyone.
Take the cover off the capping station
Park the heads on the caps
Pull the line coming from the caps to the pump
Apply suction to that line with a syringe until you see ink
Do a test print
His lights are too bright, so to compensate you're gonna have to dim them a lil bit to make your print legible. If he supplied you with clear plastic, print to translucent white and apply it to that, first surface. When printing your RIP should somewhere have an option to double print or adjust...
I cannot use strokes for cutlines as sometimes it converts them to double cuts in the RIP, so I always use fills as cuts here at our shop. That makes the import easier for that part.
Gradients... good luck!
This will be a first for me so I'm coming to all of you to hopefully answer an issue before it ever arises. We are doing studded dimensional letters protruding about 6" off of a living wall. This will be in an (interior) office space, but my concern is about humidity/moss/mold potential issues...
If you really need 65", be sure your laminator you're purchasing can do it. I know we've done some 62" a couple times, but not sure on larger (or even sourcing laminates) on any machine.
I recommend the GFP 563th, ours have been awesome.
All day long.
We have a good customer that really likes embedding huge TIFF files into EPS files just to crop them for wall murals.
I don't know why they can't just set/crop their artwork while they're still in Photoshop...
You can use regular white vinyl as a "laminate" in this case for 2nd surface graphics printed on clear. If you print your crop marks you'll probably want to apply small bits of masking tape over them before you laminate the reverse print with the white vinyl. Then once the white vinyl is...
LHF Smalts is what you're looking for. That truck in the photo has some mixed up junk.
It looks like they didn't have the correct font either and just cobbled something together.
Ours was fried from last Friday-this Monday. Everything was super humid so we didn't print or mask anything Monday. We laminated without issue on Monday. AC was back on Monday at 5 and by the next morning everything was pretty much back to normal. We have a few large dehumidifiers that run all...
