  1. Window Perf Lamination

    You're clearly doing something wrong, why would optically clear laminate stop you seeing through from the back side? We do a few a week and laminate all vehicles unless they're specifically for a short-term promotion. Our customers typically use them for ~3 years before upgrading vehicles, and...
  2. window perf- highly lit area- bad results

    We come across this all the time where the customer wants to be able to see through an internal window in one direction only. We always explain up front that it relies heavily on the balance of light, the tint or perf only serves as a distraction (it's easier to look past the black side then it...
  3. What's minimum and max Resolution setting with 1:1 scale

    I've tested the second one above on a few different signs and found it to be fairly reliable. I created a metric guide for those living in the civilised world, and wrote a short blog for our customers. http://signsontime.com.au/blog/89-resolution-vs-size.html No doubt someone will find some...
  4. New HP Latex printers L560 and L570

    Looks impressive. I'll be up for one pending price, the L360 is already ~34k here.

  7. Shopping for new job management software

    I'm still on Signvox and it serves us very well, but will need to look at migrating this year. Similar position with 10+ employees and require remote access. 4+ years ago we used Estimate. In my opinion, the most comprehensive solution is a must. The management software forms the platform for...
  8. Error code 14.10 hp L25500

    I had the 14.10 and 15.10 errors a few weeks ago, eventually it was coming on during printer start-up. One of the element wires pulled out of the sheath with a tug, so I cut back the white sheath (I did it to both wires at both ends so I could check all wires) and re-crimped. I also removed the...
  9. Avery Failures Return

    Ditto RJPW, we've been using a few rolls of 2923EA each week since it was released and it's a stellar product for general use with the DOL2000 laminate. The 180CV3 is the only 3M product we use and it's been going well for the past few months since we had to ditch the Avery 1005.
  10. Avery Failures Return

    I'm also interested to know which product. We had to switch from 1005 EA RS last year because we just couldn't get a roll that would print on the latex consistent. The replacement 3M 180C prints well, the installers just prefer the Avery.
  11. question about LARGE files in Illy

    There's no need to resize them in Photozoom when you can just scale in Illustrator. The DPI (PPI) will decrease proportionately as the size increases, when you've got the image selected it'll display what the PPI is at that size so you can determine whether it's suitable. For a 50x20' sign...
  12. Sign Pricing

    I'd be at about $7 each too, though I'd just print on class 2 reflective and overlaminate.
  13. question about LARGE files in Illy

    I can't see why the TIFF files would possibly need to be that large. Have you re-sized them and then saved at a resolution well beyond the detail of the original image? Ie. If you take a 300dpi photo, enlarge by 4 times then resave at 300dpi, you've just divided each original pixel into 4x4 more...
  14. print head duration latex 260

    Usually 5-10L per head from ours.
  15. Skewed feed on 360

    Yep, launched up here last week.
  16. Skewed feed on 360

    The All Day Breakfast artwork looks familiar, everything else sounds incredibly frustrating!
  17. ROLAND ECO-SOLVENT vs. HP LATEX - My personal experience owning both.

    Interesting Frank, I guess I need to look into it further. I do all my own XC540, L260 and FB500 profiles with Caldera Easy Media and I don't want to lose the control that I currently have.
  18. ROLAND ECO-SOLVENT vs. HP LATEX - My personal experience owning both.

    Such an unbiased article. Your thoughts largely echo my experiences. I've had XC540s since release and an L260 for the past 4 years. Having both gives us great versatility, but the HP would print about 10 times the square meterage of the Roland each week. I only buy media with quality liners so...
