  1. Need Help Deep contours on wraps

    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...
  2. JV3-130 SP II

    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...
  3. Coroplast

    Till the competition is absorbed/closed if its worth it to them. They want ALL your business.
  4. Need Help Printing Red

    What colors are you choosing for your "incorrect" reds? Are you using Pantone swatches or CMYK builds?
  5. Need Help S60600 power requirements

    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...
  6. Question DIY Textured Wall Tools???

    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.
  7. Coroplast

    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.

  9. Need Help 2019 Hyundai iload

  10. My magenta and yellow are not printing

    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
  11. Completely washed out backlit panels

    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...
  12. Need some help with a few issues using illustrator and flexi with gerber edge

    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!
  13. Living Wall Sign?

    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...
  14. Melting ink cartridge?

    Yes, the inks can do that. We had a machine develop a leak (blew a line off) and the ink melted the floor tiles.
  15. Question Recommended Laminator?

    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.
  16. designers and large files? venting..haha

    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...
  17. Will a laminator be beneficial for us???

    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...
  18. Another Fire Truck

    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.
  19. Need Help Our A/C just went out.................

    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...
