Yes, slit it and have a seam behind the poles. It is a box truck not a show car. It is the overall finished product that they are going for. People aren't going to walk up to it and admire it, they are going to see it drive by them at 35 mph.

i think it is from the customer removing them and letting them sit and "distort" to a different shape. If they had a hump in them when they slapped them back on and immediately drove away, then they're gonna lift and fall off at speed. I would suggest that after application they wait an hour...

There's no way to stack two layers of lexedge and have it run correctly through a plotter. Even regular lexedge pops off sprockets occasionally here (make sure your bailing arm springs are up to snuff). I run regular lexedge at 5 passes at 18 speed. I would try doing your black, then trying...

The last laminator I purchased was from that new company GFP, and it is an awesome laminator. The new ones are easy load also. Just get your rolls loaded and webbed, and let 'er roll. No problems from it at all.

sent you a PM, sent both of you a PM actually.

I've never seen alumalite myself, so don't feel bad about not recognizing alumacore, lol. It IS a cheap junky product in my opinion, I hate using it. I will look into trying some alumalite next time someone asks about alumacore!

I think the black lines are going to be where you figure out what the issue is. There are a number of things that could cause the missing yellow, but it looks like you have already addressed most of the usual suspects. I am betting on the slider board as to me it looks like a circuit board issue...

aluminum faces + plastic core = alumacore It is rigid but it crushes/dents VERY easily.

It sounds like it could still be miscommunication. if all of this communication has taken place over email so far, then call the customer and explain the request for a deposit and go from there while actually talking. I have seen a lot of situations like these escalate quickly over email and one...

With your next order you place just tell them to include 2 or so color charts also on the order. I cannot see a distributor not being able to hold a few for you. We always have plenty around here, the only thing everyone doesn't have a copy of are the solid color wrap sample books.

I had the little white plastic gear on the servo motor crack a couple months ago on one of ours, it allowed slippage in one rotational direction and that allowed the head to get out of sync with the direction of travel after a couple turns. Just another thing to look at if it isn't the theta belt.

I would recommend the Gerber Edge if you are NOT doing photographic quality decals. It excels at everything else besides that.

Looks great! We have done a few similar in Phototex.

I make a lot of signs, 60+ hours per week at least. I make 3D Printers also, and we do a decent amount of 3d prototyping. I have yet to have a need for anything for a sign to be 3d printed, but I could see possibly doing some trophies if you were in that market. otherwise, a router will run...

I think the windows driver may be corrupt , as when I try to update the driver and replace the generic USB driver with one of the drivers from the disk or the Rainbow Technologies directory in Windows the computer reboots! Help!

I was trying to do a fresh install of Omega on a "new" computer. Windows XP, home edition, 2002 edition, SP2 Omega 1.56, USB dongle I installed the Rainbow Sentinal Driver, and accidentally left the key installed... Now when I go on to the Install Omega it says it cannot find the key. I did not...

Thank you! The one I just received has a non-swivel knife installed; I guess they were using it wrong! It does cut the whole 13.5" width though, correct?

Is there a difference between the GS15 and the GS15plus? I know there is a difference in the HS15 and the HS15plus.

Mimaki has MAJOR problems right now, and Advantage is probably not helping them much either, and I don't really blame them. Honestly there is probably not a bright future for Mimaki anytime soon. If your Advantage reps are anything like ours they never miss a week to promote the latest HP latex...

It's been a few years, but I think when we had the issue we had to upgrade the firmware on the plotter. Then you have to make sure it is set to the right language setting. (I think we set it to auto?)
