  3. In search of.. a true lime green reflective engineer grade

    As the title says, a true lime green. Not a lime yellow. I've never seen one and I have a feeling I'll wind up printing something for a customer that says that it absolutely has to be the green and not yellow.
  4. Odd overlam issue, 3M 8518

    Squad cars, two separate decals, printed at the same time. Printed on 3M 680C and overlam with 8518 after waiting about 12 hours. One decal on a window is fine.. the other on the car body is starting to show the 'delamination' or 'moldy' look on the edges. And all the cars have it, just not this...
  5. Dancing around a 3M color

    Hi all, Has anyone been able to successfully match (or close) to 3M vinyl colors with a solvent ink? Specifically, the gold reflective. I know reflective has it's own issues with white points and all, but I'm trying for my own edification to get as close as I can to this particular gold. Yes, I...
  6. And another... may be an old Leo's Gold font

    Seen it before, and absolutely can't find it in my file folder..
  7. RTape Gold Engine turn in stock

    A shout out to Premium Sign Supplies in Telford, PA, for having numerous rolls of this RTape product in stock when it (the vinyl) is backordered until sometime in September. Hopefully the stock isn't too old, but when you need it - you need it!
  8. How long can you go?

    Apparently, about 9 years. My 1204 finally blew the head after all that time. I knew I was running on borrowed time when the 'lifetime head' started flashing last year. Finally lost the black channel this morning. In those 9 years, very little had been done to the machine - a Y motor (twice), a...
  9. Embarrasing typestyle

  10. Discussion Cut letters / wrap films

    Somewhere in here I thought I had read about someone using wrap vinyl for "regular" vinyl lettering on a vehicle. I'm facing the same thing - I have a client that just absolutely has to have 3M's military matte green for their lettering on their vehicle (which is black..). It's not a wrap, just...
  11. Opinion on hanging 3/4" 4x8 pvc panels

    Ok, here's the deal. Customer wants 6 large (4' x 8') panels mounted on an interior wall just above shoulder height. They want something "dimensional", the panels will have a full coverage digital print. The wall is solid high compression concrete... think bomb shelter stuff. Initially they...
  12. PMS color matching to reflective

    Hi all, I have an older Pantone book here and I'm usually pretty good about spotting colors to match our vinyls. I have a small project in for a good customer that requires me to match or get as close to a reflective green as possible. All the reflective greens are pretty close across the board...
  13. Inconsistent Color From Run To Run

    Ok, I had several police vehicles to do a couple weeks ago - all printed on 3M 680CR. The colors matched almost exactly to what they wanted, and all was well. Since then, one already got smacked and needs the quarter panel replaced. No problem, pulled the file and ran the exact same file with...
  14. Simples, Help Please

    So simple that I can't find it. Looks familiar - Comic Opera is close, but the centers are wrong.. As always, thanks in advance to the folks who play regularly! Rick
  15. Ford truck fenders, part 2

    Hi all, I posted this same topic a few years ago and fortunately hadn't had to deal with it since then. I just got a bid package in that, of course, includes some dozen trucks, mostly F250's, that will require a double or triple wide stripe of reflective down the entire length of the truck...
  16. 1204 head strike

    Weird thing starting to happen - I'm getting head strikes at the end of the print "throw". In other words, the carriage goes out, stops and comes back for the next pass. At the end of each of the stops it'll head strike. I can't figure it out. Everything is clean on the head, no clogs, dragging...
  17. How long can it go?

    Sitting here running a print job this weekend and my 1204 just popped up an error code of 'Lifetime printhead'. At the moment I'm in no shape to purchase a new printhead... how long will the machine still run with that error code? Or once I turn it off, it's off until a new head gets put in? Rick
  18. International Building Code and local sign codes...

    Fred, if this isn't in the right area, feel free to move. Ok, I need some insight, opinions, whatever. My local township here has adopted the International Building Code into their ordinance, which apparently also affects how signs are to be permitted as there is a sub section in the IBC...
  19. Need a supplier referral - cast aluminum bases

    And finials for aluminum posts. Sounds easy.. I just got in a large order from Ornamental Post and Panel for bases to fit 4", 5" and 6" square tube poles that I have for upcoming jobs. Case finials to match... I am not impressed. Their bases are simply cast bottoms and tops welded to a larger...
  20. Yet another fire vehicle..

    Seen it before, but can't place it. Created by Pierce trucks and they ain't saying, claiming it's "proprietary".... Thanks in advance! R
