  1. Banding and Bad Print Test

    Run through a cleaning cycle, do another test print to see if the dropouts are consistent. Do a visual inspection to look for signs of damage or obstruction. Do a manual cleaning per your machine's requirements. Check your wipers for buildup or damage, replace as necessary. Remove and re-seat...
  2. here we have another crappy payer

    We had a well known hardware store that moved into a new location, and they needed brand new channel letters, window vinyl, and in store signs. Big job, and we were eager to get the work. It went through the normal process of quotes and then we had the channel letters made and everything...
  3. here we have another crappy payer

    Yeah, I hear you. But 30 days? The paperwork for selling my house took a day to fill out and I deposited the check the same day. Maybe they're just slow-boating it out of an abundance of caution. Or, maybe some bean counters have figured out that taking 30 or 45 days to hand someone cash...
  4. here we have another crappy payer

    You have to do your work on time while they need 45 days to write a check.
  5. Can you make pole pockets without a banner welder?

    There is a banner tape specifically for pole pockets. Fellers sells a 3M VHB Double Sided Gray Adhesive Pole/Seam Tape and a BannerUps 1" Pole/Seam Tape. I would trust simple banner tape for indoor use, pole tape for sheltered outdoor use and would do stitching for places where it has to...
  6. Suggestions Adding slitters to roll laminator?

    Coming into this discussion, I was thinking "this is a disaster/trip to the ER in the making". In my head, I'm imagining the blade not cutting and the whole print wadding up and folding over onto itself. I'm thinking even if it does cut perfectly, now you have a roll of tape that's spooling...
  7. What laminations do you use?

    Oh wait... I'm getting twisted around here. There is an Oracal Oraguard 210 that is a 2.5mil 4 year version ($263), and one that is a 2mil 8 year version for ($579). Then there is a 215 that is 2.75mil 5 year for ($528). I think all this thin stuff is going to feel different. For my...
  8. What laminations do you use?

    Wow, you aren't kidding about Oracal 215 being expensive. I'm used to paying $190 for a roll of Briteline Gloss Cal Lam, and I see Oracal 215 for $529! That's a hefty jump. That stuff better correct spelling errors for that price!
  9. What laminations do you use?

    We've recently had a problem with a supplier and have been trying out alternative vendors to supply out media and lamination needs. I have found, that the new vendor we are trying out does not have all of the stuff my old one did (and visa versa). So, trying to populate the favorites of the...
  10. Roland VS-540i... to trash or not to trash

    Yeah, that company is motivated to sell you a brand new machine, not to fix the problem and save you money. I think you're right to tinker. Thinking about your problem, I can't see how it could be aid bubbles in the lines because it's happening on multiple color channels. Also, if there were...
  11. Can you use transfer tape in a laser?

    Make sure your ventilation game is on point.
  12. Stubborn Wall, Graphics Falling Off

    What does is the finish of the Killz primer? I've never worked with wallpaper paste. Seems kind of like adding glue to the sticky side of duct tape. Is there a significant benefit to that?
  13. Roland VS-540i... to trash or not to trash

    I have a Roland 640i as my solvent machine and I love it. I'm not a tech, so I am not qualified to diagnose your problem, but I'd be really reluctant to bail on the machine before having a tech come out and throw whatever they've got at the wall. Dampers, flushing the lines, intensive...
  14. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    Could be though. You could print a wrap out on wrap film and then add the reflective on top. That way you could match the color on the same printer with the same color. But, yeah, you're right. It's not a wrap.
  15. help please: Printable frosted vinyl

    We have had good success with General Formulations 790AE. 3.0 mil solvent based permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive 90# air egress (AE) liner can either be applied printed or unprinted for visual affect or as a privacy film. The 90# AE liner offers easy dry application properties for...
  16. Decal needs to be 50' long

    I'd tile it, too. I'd try and max out the size of the tiles. No need to cut it into more pieces than is necessary, and the line will be straighter in the end if you put multiple sections on at once. 50 feet is ridiculous.
  17. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    Hadn't heard of ghost reflective wraps before. Looks cool.
  18. HI

  19. Raises?

    Sick burn.
