I would suggest calling the vendor up and talking to the superior of the employees you are dealing with. Not to get those employees fired, but to better understand how their company works and how the job fell through the cracks & how to avoid this re-occurring in the future.
Did you lose the client over not having this job ready? Or just lose this job?
I have a vendor that says they have no wait time on tablecloths and is cheap. They could also ship it direct to the customer's destination.
They are a MM on here...
Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of drawing the rest of the truck also, so here ya go!
remember to measure your truck, as this one may not match the truck you're doing 100%.
Also, my slat pattern is NOT correct on this.
I would run by a dealership and take actual measurements, for curved windows like these I always measure them myself.
I also allow a few inches of bleed (adjustment) just in case for these windows. Also look at where the rear wiper arm sits and it it blocks any of the window.
Note: On complex...
All documents or just this one?
It looks like you have a corrupt document to me.
Save as a new document, flatten transparency, etc and try sending again.
We run two JV3s here and keep regular maintenance on them.
After replacing the screws in the capping stations (those tend to eat heads!) we have yet to replace any heads here either.
And yes, we DO run a LOT of vinyl through ours.
have it print out some fine text, I keep hearing that the new latex printers are very nice and fast, but the quality of fine details is really poor is what I am hearing. I guess that is where they sacrificed for speed.
Fire Truck
Here is a template for a Pierce fire truck, at 50% scale.
Sorry I didn't do the front/back, but nothing was going on the front and the rear was just getting chevrons so I didn't have to draw them. ;)
I've never wrapped one, but looks like a lot more of a PITA than you would think.
For oddball wraps like this that no template exists for I use this method: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?119932-Phototex-for-Templates
Every roll here has a different shade of gray adhesive on the back.
I noticed it a long time ago, but it has never been an issue yet. Some are really dark gray and some are almost white.
I think it may have to do with leaving them in the que and switching media sizes, but haven't confirmed this yet. The weirdest part is that when you turn off tiling on the "now tiled" jobs, they say they are at 100% when their new size w/o tiling is incorrect.
Unlike a Roland, Mimaki printers have a slew of pinch rollers 25+ that feed the media, so I think this is a very low possibility.
I am also under the assumption that something on the take-up reel has broken and it hasn't been found yet.
Do you have the tensioner on the right end of the take-up reel adjusted correctly for the material that you're taking up?
I would assume if all of the feed reel holders and pinch rollers seem to spin correctly that it should be feeding straight through the printer.
Is there any possibility of a...
Recently we have been having a few issues with Onyx tiling jobs that we did NOT select to be tiled.
These jobs don't need tiled, but for some reason it is tiling them when they are copied in the RIP.
ie: We add a print/cut file to the RIP, then it rips it. After the file has completed ripping...
Does it walk the same amount w/o the take-up reel?
Are you sure the feed reel isn't messed up? and that all of the pinch rollers are working correctly?
I would think if it was pulling that unevenly on the take-up reel that the vinyl would tunnel on the print area and cause head strikes.
