  1. VS640 black not solid

    Just started printing Avery 1005 vinyl with a lot of solid black in the graphic and the black is light...Almost like it's not putting down enough ink. Done test print and medium cleaning, but still the same. Tried high speed, standard, and high quality but not much different. Any ideas?
  2. Carbon fiber vinyl

    Just had a customer call wanting rally stripes for a 2014 Camaro done in "Glossy" carbon fiber. I usually order the stripes pre-cut out of Avery Wrap vinyl from Restyler Choice, but the carbon is not really gloss. Just wondering if any body knows of a gloss carbon fiber vinyl with air release...
  3. Matte Black Reflective

    Thanks rjssigns! That's basicly what I told my customer. I did think about laminating reflective black with matte lam, but it will just be a lot thicker than the original. However this may be the best option.
  4. Matte Black Reflective

    I have a customer who has a 2013? Boss Mustang with matte black reflective graphics. He needs some areas of the stripes replaced and can only get the entire kit from Ford. Anyone know where to get this matte finish reflective? I'm guessing it's probably 3M but I don't think it will matter what...
  5. Heavy duty banner/canvas

    Thanks, I'll compare that to the 15oz. I can get from my distributor. As always they want to keep it as cheap as possible.
  6. Heavy duty banner/canvas

    I have someone looking for a heavy duty banner to go around the bottom of a platform/stage to act as a skirt to hide the frame work. They would like to have some lettering & logos on it as well. It will be put up for weekend performances & taken down packed up & moved to the next show. The total...

  8. vinyl gold leaf stripe

    Anyone know where I can order vinyl gold leaf stripping like is used on fire trucks. Thanks in advance!
  9. Replacement Pinch Roller

    Anyone know of a replacement pinch roller to fit an older model D520 cutter? Summa wants $64 ea. and it's for my old cutter I'm selling to a friend cheap, so I don't want to spend $140 if I can help it.
  10. Van Graphic/banner

    Thanks! Something like this may work. It's an old van (late 80's) so drilling into it to mount a frame or track shouldn't be a problem. I could do individual panels that could slide into place once they get to their location. Do you think coraplast would work or should I stick with aluminum or a...
  11. Van Graphic/banner

    My concern with the magnetics is: 1-Even though they've been told not to drive with them on the van, at some point somebody will, and blame me for it blowing off. 2-Proper storage of the magnets when not in use (I've seen the way they store their banners and stuff). It seems the station...
  12. Van Graphic/banner

    I have a local radio station group that has 3-4 of there stations that do live remotes using the same van. As of now the van has all there station logos on it. Now they want to redo one side of it so they can change the logo out for the radio station they are doing the remotes on. They asked...
  13. Font Help Please

    Thanks!!! I didn't have it. At least I'm not going completely crazy.
  14. Font Help Please

    I think I have the font used for Mammogram, but due to it being italic I'm having a hard time finding it. I'm sure I'll feel stupid when I find out what it is. Any ideas?
  15. contour cuts not connected

    I'm pretty sure it's not the blade, holder or anything like that. I can see the blade lift up, move over and then goes back down & starts back cutting. I have noticed the blue box around the image in VersaWorks hides the cut line sometimes. Is this due to a margin setting? I will try to attach a...
  16. contour cuts not connected

    Thanks for the input. I use Flexi and their contour cut, export it as a pdf and then use VersaWorks to print/cut. This has worked on all the jobs that have odd shape contour cuts but only happens on some (not all) of the jobs that are rectangles or circles. It has happened twice on the same job...
  17. contour cuts not connected

    I have a VS-640 and sometimes when I contour cut rectangle boxes w/radius corners or circles it only cuts part of it. The last job I did with the rectangle cut worked perfect, but the one before that only cut the ends and the radius corner but not the top & bottom. I was able to use a straight...
  18. printing window perf

    I have a Roland VS-640, the perf is Clear Focus 50/50 and I haven't ordered the clear yet but was thinking about Oracal 3651. I'm getting ready to print a small sample first using the one of the Versacam profiles for perf.
  19. printing window perf

    I recently purchased a printer and now have my first window perf job where the graphics on the side of the vehicle go over the windows. Just wondering what kind of settings I would use for printing... high quality, x2 overprint, uni-directional or bi-directional? I also have a lighted sign to do...
  20. Print Vinyl

    Thanks for all the input. How much color variation in the print do you get switching from one brand to another or from calendared to cast? Also if your laminating 90% of your jobs wouldn't a 2.5 mil (Oracal 3651) with a 2.5 mil laminate be easier to work with as far as conforming to minor curves...
