    Proof ;)
  2. Started at a new shop recently....

    ...and I'm doing wraps and auto graphics work full time now, and I love it. My 'test' was a full color change on this super tuned 600hp BMW X5M. White to black, full jambs, the works. Didn't find out til later that it's the boss' s wife's car. Will be posting a few others soon.
  3. File Prep for CNC Router

    I use CorelDraw (latest version) and I have had similar issues. Try exporting as an older version DXF file if you can. I switched to an earlier format DXF (2006-2010 I believe) and that solved the problem for me.
  4. Recommendation on film for motorcycle wrap

    Looks good. Bike parts can be a pain sometimes.
  5. Question Best flatbed for printing corrugated plastic

    Agreed on the FB550. We picked up a used one two years ago and it's been great for us. Hybrid is definitely the way to go, we have a flatbed Oce Arizona as well but it's just not as quick as the HP.
  6. Help for Océ Arizona 318GL

    I was having this exact problem last year as well. Our issue was the FireWire cable. Technician replaced it and were have been good to go since then.
  7. Relocating Oce Arizona 318GL

    I feel your pain, and I only had to move our 318GL from one building to another on the same property. It was down for about half a day. I sweated moving it for a week beforehand though. We managed to do it on our own by widening a few doorways to our destination and made sure the electrician had...
  8. Need Help Reflectivity?

    At my old shop we printed on reflective fairly often for out of town billboard graphics. We used a Roland VP540 with Eco-Sol inks and they always turned out pretty well. We usually printed on 3M 680 reflective white.
  9. I never wrapped before, but it's my truck ????

    I wrapped my 1999 Suburban hood a year ago. The paint was in bad shape, and I did have to sand it down. I shot a thin coat of primer on it before applying 3M 1080 Metallic Black on the entire hood. I've wrapped 20 or so cars/trucks and it wasn't too bad. I prefer 3M 1080 but the Arlon wrap...
  10. Need Help Cutting Printed PVC into shapes...

    At our shop we rout the shape first, then print a template on our flatbed printer table to match the shape. Then place the piece on the template and direct print on the part. Works great for us.
  11. Halloween

    Kinda late to the thread but we did this fun little project for a car show on Halloween weekend....
  12. SuperChannelBender XP question

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Well we went and bought an Adamstech/SDS bender and we absolutely LOVE it. We've been using it for about three weeks now and it is nothing short of awesome. I just wanted to check and see if anyone knows the type of oil I need to get for the hydraulic pump in the...
  13. Anyone flatbed printing clear plexi?

    Same here. I print on clear acrylic pretty often on our Arizona flatbed and the only times I've had issues is when the material was warped to begin with. I've also used our HP FB500 hybrid with good results.
  14. Clear vinyl to print? for motocross decals

    I prefer Arlon's DPF 6000. Good stuff.
  15. 3M 7125 with clear backing available online?

    Pretty sure Fellers has it.
  16. Possible pump issue

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Turns out it was a combination of the pump and the ink bag coupler being bad. Sorry for the delay in replying....I forgot about this thread and I've been on vacation for the last 10 days or so.
  17. Possible pump issue

    No black shavings that I can see. I did go ahead and order a pump, got it swapped out yesterday but still getting a timeout error.
  18. Possible pump issue

    I just replaced all the filters a few months back. I do have a spare, I can try that too. Thanks
  19. Possible pump issue

    I am getting a 2507 error "ink fill timed out"
  20. Best vinyl for gas pump panels

    I've used both 3M 1080 and IJ180 with no problems. I do like the 1080 better personally.
