  1. Square Footage for NV2500 w/o extended roof?

    PVO has a free PDF guide for basic SF measurements of all popular vehicles available to subscribers. It lists 405 sf for a standard low-roof NV.
  2. Onyx shrinking prints when sending a print/cut file

    Our Onyx automatically "shrinks to fit" any oversized print, regardless if it has a cut or not. So, if your sheet size was set to 48" wide when you imported/ripped that file and you did not verify the size in the job editor, then this will happen.
  3. avery chrome

    We wrapped the tailgate on the owner's truck here at the shop over a year ago, and it still looks good as new. The installer said it was real funky. We also printed on it and laminated it prior to install.
  4. Day/Night vinyl

    Call up cheetah wraps, I bet they have it cheaper than fellers, and they sell by the foot!
  5. A Question of Ethics.....

    Question #1: Did Customer A pay you for coming up with the pattern itself (a design fee), or just pay for the end product? If you kinda "threw in the design" for free as it was not really much artwork time and just charged for the final print/piece then Customer A has no room to complain. It...
  6. Best laminate for Gerber prints?

    Mixing manufacturers will get you the run-around by them if anything ever does go wrong, and make it impossible to get real answers or help in that case. However, I have mixed and matched a lot of different materials in the solvent printing world with never any ill effects, so it "should" be...
  7. Needing a heavy duty vinyl or just clear coat the vinyl.

    We doa lot of drums for a local company here, and we use 3m 680 (reflective). We also Edge Seal EVERYTHING, including the factory decals for them. Haven't had any troubles.
  8. Best laminate for Gerber prints?

    We use 3M 8518/8519/8520 exclusively here for Edge prints, primarily 8519. We've only used that as far back as it was available; made literally millions and millions of edge printed decals and never had trouble. I would venture to guess we do around 50 yards/day of 280 and other Gerber...
  9. Transparent .png and .tiff printing faded background.

    Is it a spot colors with transparency issue? Are there ANY spot colors in your document (including registration and CutContour)? If not, I would put a clipping mask on the artwork of flatten it with the matching black background Photoshop and drop it back in without transparency.
  10. Triple Boat Striping

    If you do a lot of striping look into picking up a sprocket-fed plotter like a Gerber. They are awesome for cutting long striping. I have found that how the vinyl roll is resting on the plotter rollers is very important for straight tracking on our plotters here, and using the spool holders...
  11. does 3m ij80c control tac vinyl stick to the ford front fender flares?

    Put on some Primer94 and it will last a bit longer than without.
  12. Rotary Trimmer

    I used to have a cutter that looks a lot like the Foster Keencut 104". I know it cut down 8' length sheets... It had a replaceable trapezoid blade (standard utility blades) and cut anything I put in it, accurately, every time. (even polymetal) The clamp works great and it can cut multiple sheets...
  13. edge fx stop printing half way on 3rd color pass

    As long as you hit home originally it'll still be fine.
  14. sp 300 control panel sticker

    Are you sure it's a sticker? It looks screen printed to me, but I cannot recall what Rolands have... Once you get the new cable, print yourself one. ;)
  15. ink drops?

    Are you SURE that the vinyl isn't defective? Or that static isn't putting itsy-bitsy pieces of lint/etc on the actual vinyl surface? You would have to have a loupe or a digital camera with macro setting to determine that.
  16. edge fx stop printing half way on 3rd color pass

    If you hit "home" before you started printing then you can change the color order in the GSPplot. Go back to the home and just let it send the colors starting with the black and whichever were left to still print. The black should just lay down a double-coat of black on its areas, but that...
  17. Ultimaker 2.0

    I don't seen an email coming through? my email there is jf@gorillamaker.com Call the number listed (859-918-9900) and you can speak directly to the designer/developer of the printer and he will be able to answer any questions you have or provide a sample print from your file. (I am leaving to go...
  18. Ultimaker 2.0

    I am a bit partial to the GorillaMaker 3D500. http://gorillamaker.com/product/gm3d500-professional-series-3d-printer/
  19. what laminate with 3m 5100 reflective

    we laminate all of our printed 3m reflective with 3m 8519 unless customer-specified for gloss.
  20. Anyone with a Gerber Ion have a relaible source for Daily Maintenance Solution, etc.?

    Tim, I cannot find a supplier at all for these, can you PM me their contact info? We have one here that needs inks and bulbs but can't find them AT ALL.
