Hi and welcome. Now go buy a Merchant Membership or your posts will go away for being the SPAM that they are.

weird question that just popped into my head from what hybrid design said, are you sure you're printing on the correct side of the film (if there is one, not sure about that).

Hello, new old guy! :welcome:

that looks like a head dragging across the print to me. Possibly your mat wasn't completely flat?

Hey Zach, it might help to know more about the exact types of signs you need to restore to get you better focused information. We all have strong and weak points. Some folks on here are vinyl jockeys, some do carved, some do channel letters, some paint, etc. Help us help you. :cool: -...

FWIW the Roland glossy adhesive photo paper is pretty nice and works well for short term stuff. Be aware that it's a pretty aggressive adhesive that will tear the paper apart if you mis-apply and try to pull it back up. Once it's stuck it's done. It's also a little bit of a PITA to remove from...

Have you checked with FireSprint? They're a merchant member here, are good folks, and may have something that will work for you.

Fuzzy in my memory, but somebody makes a printer that will direct print onto ribbon material and it wasn't too stupidly expensive. I don't remember any detail or what company, but I remember seeing it a few years ago. It seems like it was reasonably priced enough that it may be worth doing a...

IDK much about OneShot, but I do know a bit about paint and chemistry and light. Red pigment is one of the fastest to fade when exposed to UV (aka sunlight), largely due to it absorbing a shit-ton of the energy from it, causing degradation. I'd seriously consider adding a coat or two of your...

IIRC cutmaster goes in order that the lines are ordered in the illustrator file. I don't remember if it's top to bottom or vice versa, but perhaps look at the layering and see if it's the same as others or possible it's reversed. Hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure 4over has flags. Too lazy to log in and check right now but I'm pretty sure I've ordered them before.

you know what would be awesome? If you fuck off and take your spammy self somewhere else.

What Fechin said is one easy way to do it. Illustrator image trace and play with the threshold will also get you a similar result. May need a tiny bit of cleanup, but should get you plenty close to work with. Don't make it harder than it has to be, as long as the file you have is of sufficient...

By chance did you reach out to the bag manufacturer to inquire about the material?

I don't understand how dye would migrate from cotton canvas. It isn't supposed to happen like that. And if that was their "solution" why didn't they offer to get you material with a dye blocker (Sub-block) to replace and redo? Sounds like crappy customer service on their part TBH. Sorry you had...

Sinalite has been decent for me (despite being up in Canada)

This stuff that they call Ultra Flex. https://avivawholesale.com/collections/regular-pu/products/ultra-flex-regular-colors-20-wide-heat-transfer-vinyl-for-t-shirt-and-apparel-htv I was skeptical at first but there's a (relatively) local physical store in Orlando that I was able to get and...

Odd and curious. What's the substrate it's on? I used to use a ton of easy weed and never saw anything like that. (I've mostly switched to a different brand that I like better, but still get it occasionally). Usually when you have dye migration (bleed through) it's a consistent change in color...

Wow! Thanks for sharing, definitely not too much.

Howdy! Care to share some pics or vids of your work? I personally find that sort of thing very satisfying to see.
