here it is, shot it back to you also. just did a couple different lives traces and layered it.

Send me the better quality pic and I'll doctor it up to give you a better starting point if you're only trying to get from photo "A" to image "B". jfiscus224(at)msn(dot)com

Always the pen tool. You will get intimately familiar with it if you do this project. However, if you don't have the time/energy; then I might suggest cutting the car off its background in photoshop and then trying out live trace in Illustrator. That will get you a rough/grungy effect.

I am guessing around $1500.

Ford transit van

Just start drawing it; it's gonna take a while. drawing things this complicated it is best to use a different layer for each part of the car (say a door), and to go ahead and set up a custom pallette to maintain color consistency across the piece. I redrew this artwork for a customer from a scan...

It probably has spray laminate on the prints. We get a lot of stuff shipped in like that, not as much as we used to, but still a decent amount.

Tractor supply or any other farm supply store. I would assume that if you went into a pharmacy and explained that you needed syringes to siphon fluids, but no needles that they would sell them to you also.

I have someone who should have a part for you. I will PM their contact info to you.

Just Print it.

I think those are supposed to be willow branches but I couldn't find anything easily. I would just redraw them; should only take 15 minutes or so.

I think this is what you're looking for... http://stop-painting.com/

Not me, myself, but I've seen some very similar situations. At the old shop we had a VERY impatient salesman who wanted a proof cut down "right now", I told him I would get to it in a minute. So, he grabbed a rectangular blade to trim it down with on the table, but pressed down on the wrong side...

Maybe it is only happening in bi-directional printing then? http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?91846-Mimaki-JV3-160SP-collection-of-PDFs-amp-Tutorials-in-one-place

I've seen those before also but not that bad. It does have to do with the pinch rollers; but it's not because they're dirty. I think mine disappeared after lamination, but those might not.

At the first sign company i worked for we also had an automotive painting company as the other half of the business. They sprayed many of the signs with whatever clear they happened to be spraying that day. FWIW, the signs were printed with eco-solvent ink and still look good today. Most inks...

Isn't there an ARMS calibration test you can run on a graphtec? I think when I had this problem that is what fixed it for me.

That is not true, if it is miss-counting going one direction, it simply "off-centers" the print by that much. It does not only count marks on the strip through the print; but it counts them all the way from the capping station all the way across its travel range every time it moves.

What vinyl/laminate/mask are you using? I have done quite a lot and I don't recall ever running into this. Can you post a picture? Is it something that a torch will take out after installation?

Give BigFishDM a holler; it appears you are new to this type of install, as these two products are NOTHING alike.
