  1. Need Help I'm looking for a pan face fabricator

    Talk to the sign supply houses which service your area with delivery trucks. Focus on the ones which sell components for electric signs. They will usually have a supplier for pan faces, and then will deliver the faces to you without your having to pay a freight charge.
  2. Graphtec FC8600-130 Review

    My experience is much different. I used Graphtecs at my prior job, started with a Mimaki CG130FX when I started my own business 11 years ago, and added a Graphtec FC8000-75 to do regular vinyl work and cut our printed heat transfers. Both work fine and I have had no trouble with either. In our...
  3. images for Grand Format Printing

    Just did a quick perusal of Nikon's website. Their flagship camera is capable of 5568x3712 pixels at full frame. So if you divide that out by your final image size, that comes out about 20 ppi or dpi. The D850 has a 45 Mpixel sensor (8256x5504) that pushes that to 30 dpi. And Canon has a 120...

    Not sure if you're having trouble with printing on silver, gold or reflective, but our old Mimaki JV3 and our Epson S70670 both print fine on those materials, and neither of our plotters (an olf Mimakg CG130FX and Graphtec FC8000) has trouble reading the marks.
  7. Durability of Dark vs Light Prints

    If it's really white on black or black on white, and UV durability is the concern, use cut high performance vinyl, not a print. Even as the vinyl dies, the sign will read better than a print that is dying.
  8. GRIMCOOOOO!! ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEM WITH THEM?

    I'm surprised at the difficulty you're having with Grimco, but it may be just local to the branch in Kansas City. My delivery comes from Springfield now, though when I started it was St Louis. But for us, all cut vinyl is shipped UPS free from St Louis, and arrives the next day, which it would...
  9. Spreading magenta ink

    Sometimes a hair or piece of fuzz on the corner of a printhead will do that. It collects ink mist until it has a full drop, drops it on the print and then smears it.
