I've seen a website where you can also buy the printed vinyl (exactly like the VW van) and they offer like 8 to 10 different textures / colors (more rusty, chipped paint...) Not sure what's the vinyl brand used. There's also rusted film by the yard at...

Sound great, I'm exactly like you (mostly distracted...) and don't really awared what my real operating costs are... 'started all by myself w/o any advises, any parents or relatives already in business providing "real life" advises on how running a shop profitably... that was 29 years ago...

I've bought many years ago few CD's of patterns and textures from Bergen Designs. They are nice and work well at any scale. I also use that kinda fills from Aurora too but haven't looked at Fred's ones. They all should do the job right.

Why not contact 'em directly and ask (...) or inquire how much they would charge you... may worth the time... sub it and offer something other can't

Damn it's a nice rendering... I'd have tons of customers (truckers) who would like their rig on their shirts like this... the only problem always remains the final cost. There's no magical key to push that instantly convert a picture into vector-like drawing of that level (yeah... tire treads...

I put 2 new ink cartridges into Magenta's slots hoping the full gravity pressure of new ones will help push enough into printhead... it did. ! 'Told my tech no way I'm gonna leave 30$ of the precious liquid in cartridge in order to get my printer print properly. If it cannot sucks every...

I rarely use 'em but here's the ones I work with: www.artstation-vehicletemplates.com but unfortunately they have no semi and it's my main market... also these are american models and sometimes they have slight differences with our canadian models. www.provehicleoutlines.com have more models...

Both are clean and very straight (comme neufs, 'jamais sortis l'hiver... j'te dis des wipers de curé!)

They sell few skids since so I don't think it was sleepy boxes in the warehouse. They assured me that it was a totally different batch than the defective roll I got around the end of December (2017) Honestly, when comparing the Premiums of each majors mgf of vinyl (3M, Oracal, Avery, Arlon) I...

OK you refer to the li'l grey felt next to the wiper, sorry I misunderstood... I thought it was the big white one in the bottom of the pan.

I always keep an eye on the wiper, making sure it's always straight and clean.

I didn't but the tech did with head swap. Other than regular maintenance / parts cleaning, it's not something I do regularly here because of very low volume of prints. Some weeks, the printer may be turned on less than 5 hours...

Got a new replacement roll Yesterday. I crossed my fingers and holded my breath... I sent the same file that showed issues and... yep... again... same "/$%?& result. Called the rep back to report it and 'been told it's in 3M's hands now (claim) but this morning, I still have a full 16ft...

I've let it sit overnight (read I quit I had enough) and this morning everything seems back to normal... Go figure

New with the head change in late fall 2017. Ran perfectly since that time

Called the tech, explained everything with pictures, he told me exactly what I have done before calling him... he replied: "don't do a powerful cleaning 'til we tried everything else, I don't wanna ruin your new head". Wow! 'sounds pretty well calibrated (sarcasm)...

The 2nd testprint after a Normal Cleaning run, the 3rd row was empty except for the 4 missing dashes that were now back (???) Another cleaning later (Med. Cleaning), both magenta rows were randomly back. The 1st one had never show a single issue but now is... damn it!

In my 1st printest (not pictured) all the rows were full except for the 3rd one (magenta) that showed 4 missings dashes... EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT BUT MINUS 4 DASHES

Today I wanted to start the week with a fullwrap job on a 16ft trailer so I loaded the IJ180 roll in my printer, run a testprint to see if everything was there, noticed there was 4 dashes missing in the Magenta (new head 4 months ago, new capping station... everything was 100% perfect 'til this...
