  1. Need Help What vinyl to use on auto glass

    On car windows we always clean it first with a solvent to be sure that there is no wax or Rain-X or other water repellant residues. Final step is clean with 99% iso alcohol and then polish with a clean rag. Have had too many times where the same things happen..... vinyl peeling. Since we...
  2. Looking for best adhesive remover

    Spray wax to remove adhesive???? Also seems counterproductive if you then want to install new vinyl afterwards. We do still also use Xylol as well here. If used properly it is really not any worse than many other things. If it were crazily deadly you would not be able to buy it quite so easily...
  3. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Bummer - sorry to hear that. Hard telling what it might be.
  4. 19 years experience-looking to move on

    I see this sort of thing so much on so many different forums that I cannot help but still find myself surprised that so many people apparently have never used a message board before or simply do not bother to notice that they are replying to a thread that is years old.
  5. Need Help Cutting a full roll of media, how best to manage the material?

    We just reach into the basket between cutting each group and hand roll what is cut loosely up. After a couple of groups we will sometimes then cut between somewhere and remove the bulk of what is already cut. Not much of any other way. We have a Summa S160T but not the takup option.
  6. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Make sure you do not have build 2878 which they pulled after they realized Production Manager had serious issues and was doing exactly that. 2878 would just close in the middle of print jobs, sometimes it would take forever for a job to send to it from a remote design computer, sometimes it...
  7. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    CTRL+M just turns the color mixer window off/on??? I should clarify - this is in the Designer part. Not really had any issues other than the scroll bar bug with this new version. Production manager has been stable for us. There was a jacked up version I mentioned at the start of the thread...
  8. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    So I sent Sai support a message regarding the above. It is a definitely a bug. Happens when you zoom in enough that it makes the scroll slider block smaller (on mine it is the last three sizes that the block will be). At the three smallest block sizes if I click on the block itself to drag it to...
  9. Need Help Huge water bubble behind wrap on box truck

    Both that I see are installer failing to do the installation properly. As others mentioned, metal panel seams should always be cut. Rivets (also as already mentioned) are not looking very well done either. On Sprinters and other vehicles with a rubber transition between body joints, that always...
  10. Question Print 2 print/cut jobs at once?

    The dual roll function in the rip and print dialog might make it work. I've never tried it but that might be a solution.
  11. Need Help Reflective Chevron

    Oracal makes it in left and right pre-made patterns and Fellers has that. They have had it that way for a while now. Still not going to be a 100% single sheet as there is left and right. Also I'm not 100% sure but on fire apparatus I'm not sure that 680 meets the NFPA reflectivity requirements...
  12. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    So back on Flexi. Seems to be fine with the current update. I have discovered one pretty annoying bug in Designer though. The bottom scroll bar. If you touch the slider it always jumps to the left as far as possible instantly taking everything you were looking at way off screen to the right. You...
  13. Question 20/20 Ink Clogged Head, Switch Out Now or Wait?

    Did I say I was not happy with Jetbest or anything at all bad about Jetbest? I've never tried it so how could I be unhappy with it? Only thing I might say is that your comment "Jetbest ink is one of the most known third party ink" might be debatable. When I was deciding what ink to run in two...
  14. Difference between mimaki CJV 30-60 and mimaki CJV 150-75

    1 - sublimation is for fabrics and sublimation paper only. It will not work on anything else. 2 - not easily, if at all. You would need to totally flush the one ink out and change to the other and that is not at all simple. Problem is you would need an intermediate flush that is compatible with...
  15. Question 20/20 Ink Clogged Head, Switch Out Now or Wait?

    Always good to look for a lot of reviews on aftermarket inks in addition to what other machine the brand makes ink for, how long they have been making inks, who the distributors are, warranty, etc. Over the years I've read a lot of places complaining about 20/20 inks.... Some of the top brands...
  16. Suggestions Golf cart wrapping

    We do contract installs with customer provided materials and will even embroider customer provided garments. But..... we charge more for one thing since they are denying us the ability to make any profit on the materials and I tell someone this up front. Then we also very clearly inform them up...
  17. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Speaking of png.... why are so many people using that format nowadays??? Its a file format that was made to replace gif for web site usage and is optimised for display on monitors and web sites. Big advantage over gif is that png supports millions of colors and full alpha transparency but it is...
  18. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Well I did determine that they made some significant changes to the Summa cutter functionality. I'm sure for the better but all of the defaults get changed. It adds a bunch of "Before Job" settings which one defaults to be active. These change all of the cutters settings and I do see the value...
  19. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Well I can confirm this much so far.... We have all perpetual licenses for on. One Print and Cut (Flexi Pro which includes Production Manager and one Designer seat), and two other Designer licenses. All are running Flexi 12 SP4P3 Build 2718. As a test I have installed this new update on one...
  20. Vehicle wraps in the cold

    Year ago before we had our current shop I made a deal with a couple of places that could accommodate us for that sort of thing for a reasonable price per day... Our current shop - had the same scenario. 12ft door.... since its a gable end and I have a 14' ceiling we recently had the opening cut...
