  5. Printing origin shifting 1/8" each file

    I'm trying to print 3 files on top of each other, which one would think would be easy; mark my starting points and start each file at that point (making sure offsets are the same each time) and hit print. But here's the kicker, for some reason the printer is starting the print approx. 1/8" over...

  8. Anyone know of a clear changeable print media that comes in a 61.5" roll???

    We change graphics for a very large client every quarter and the designer is wanting to do a fade to clear and not see any hard lines from the edge of the material. Currently we use 3M IJ36-20 to do the graphics as it comes in a 61.5" wide roll. From what I can find (3m, Avery, lintec, drytac)...
  9. Best vinyl for floor graphics

    We've got a job coming up that requires floor graphics and our distributor has suggested to use 3M IJ162 as the base material but can't even get us a sample - will only sell us a full roll. I know I've seen everyone talks about the Oracal vinyls, so I'm wondering if someone would have a...
  10. 4 color screen printing - is it worth it to get into??

    So I've got a chance to purchase a small 4 color screen printing kit and since I've never really dealt with screen prints before (only digital) so I'm wondering everyone's view on if it's worth getting into (side projects). It comes with everything in the photo (4 wooden screens, flash dryer...
  11. print sticking on take up - Any thoughts??

    We've got a very large project that we're printing a solid color red onto 3m IJ8150 and we're having some major issues. When it goes on the take up reel it sticks to the backer and leaves "matte" looking marks like tiger stripes. We've got the room temp at about 80-90F with fans blowing on the...
  12. Does anyone know what this is?

    Does anyone know what product this is, what brand it is, or even a supplier of it? It's not a 3M fasara or Solyx or remlor product. Got a client who is wanting rolls upon rolls of this stuff but can only provide this photo. Chaz
  13. Epson SC S50670 take up reel not working

    I have a really tough time believing that a take up reel get disabled when trying to do multilayer printing. I've got a simple file (20 words) that the client wants to see color on both sides of a clear material but have the letters opaque. In theory printing with white in in a multilayer print...

    We've had our printers for a couple years now and we have never printed onto perf. before.

  16. Hexis vinyl - the good the bad and the ugly?

    So we have used Hexis frost (S5DEPM) before on numerous occasions and have found that its a decent material to work with and its fairly cheap, and is a close match to other frosted materials. My question arises now, does anyone have any experience with other Hexis vinyls and/or print media? Chaz
  17. printed material sticking on the takeup

    I've got an issue with my material sticking to itself on the takeup. I'm printing to 3m IJ8150, solid colour red 60" wide by 150ft rolls (that's the size of the print). I've tried playing around with the media feed speeds, heat settings, setting a delay in print (5 passes then 10 sec rest) and...

    Okay so this is weird, not sure why its happening but it is. Have the print gutter completely turned off (no left or right selected - gutter size box is greyed out) but it still prints the gutter. I need to be printing the full width of my material but it keeps adding in the gutter. Does...
  19. Illustrator / Preflight colours don't match!

    Hey all, I'm running into an issue I have never seen before. I have a file in illustrator (CS6) with the only colour being black @ %30, when I print the PDF and open in onyx (10.2.5) and preflight, under the color correction the colours show as using all CMYK. Is there a reason for this, or...
  20. Dumb perf question

    Okay, so we have rarely ever used window perf and going to be printing on it for the first time. My question lies in what lam I should be using with contravision 60/40 perf.
