this is what i use. I have a Corgi at work and he is a little shedder!!! they work great although I dislike the feeling of the stuff on your hands....sort of like dried honey
Make sure when you turn the printer off that the head is over to the right side as far as it can go. My Mimaki is 7 years old and I have found that sometimes after cleaning and shutting down the printer I can actually move the carriage about 1/4 - 1/2" more to the right.
Small decals and small quantities really require a hefty setup charge to make them viable or very high sq ft pricing. I had one client last year, verbally ask how much it would cost to run 200 decals that were pretty small. When I calculated the cost and added a setup it came out to somewhere...
I remember seeing it posted years ago, the procedure for the printer to print out a series of lines and then we manually select the best match. Can't remember what it was called or how to access it... anybody? Jv3 130spII
Nothing infuriates me more than people who order decals or vinyl and they request a set. How do I know in his mind what a set consists of. So today for example a guy ordered 2 sets of pre cut vinyl lettering for transport doors. I just figured he needed 2 for 1 truck. now it seems a set to...
I am curious as to why your price on window graphics is in line with the franchise supplier's. So they give away banners but window lettering is another story? I cant figure that part out. You have to let us know how that banner looks when it arrives and is installed
I am wondering if I hit it with to much down force... you can see the cut in the liner once it is removed, but I think I have always seen that. I am going to test a new one and drastically remove down force to see how it weeds and removes from the backer.
I spoke to the 3M sales rep and he says that the 7725 should easily be removable using the 3m scpm 2 or 3. I tried and same thing, virtually nothing lifts off even after putting it through the laminator. I know it's only 20 logos, but between the time to cut them and weed them it can take...
I rarely have this issue, but I have now tried printing this small graphic 3 times and each time the software goes into the non responsive mode about 3/4's of the way through the print. It is a bitmap that I have printed about 6 months ago ,so I can't figure out what the issue is. I added...
I agree about the flat surface as I have a couple of these aluminum safety rulers and see they don't bend with the table. Like yours they stay hooked to the wall for the most part. I still use my 48" straight edge I bought 25 years ago. I think it is stainless steel and adjusts to most uneven...
I must admit I like the thickness of 3M's product but there are times when you have to latch 2 pieces together and 3M does not stick to itself very well as I have found out while applying on the side of a truck and it just let go of itself right in the middle of the install. Some choice...
I can't remember why I always buy medium tack pre mask, but had 20 detailed white vinyl decals come back as the graphics wont come off properly. I tried everything and thankfully it has the synthetic liner so I wet them all and removed the mask.
I will now use high tack pre mask on everything...
I have a bad feeling that I used medium tack. I am going to try and heat them up from behind and see if that softens them a bit to remove. The weird thing is I use this stuff inhouse for vehicles and I rarely have issues removing the backing paper.
Of all the vinyls this would be the least to have this problem one would think. Something must be wrong with the perf. See if you can send the vinyl back.
