  1. Question Print / Cut directly on reflective

    That was my fear as it reduces anyone's ability to do a repair. I do not think they laminated it as I could feel the ink and that it was matte and the blue was still gloss. Thanks for the heads up.
  2. Question Print / Cut directly on reflective

    Ok, further clarification on what I am looking for: The pics you see are lettering already installed on vehicles, so the white background is sheet metal. The blue lettering is 3M 680CR and the drop shadows, whether gray or light blue are part of the blue reflective, only that it appears they are...
  3. Do you laminate your plain vinyl lettering?

    Had something similar like that happen by applying Avery Pewter 9yr vinyl over 3M Black reflective. The 3M soaked in so much heart, it burnt and aged the Avery in less than a year. My brainiac boss, at the time, thought I'd have to laminate the 9yr vinyl prior to cutting and install. Still...
  4. Question Print / Cut directly on reflective

    The pics taken were by me doing a lookeeloo for a job. The vinyl is Blue 3M 680CR as I had a sample with me. Both examples are off of emergency vehicles. I am not speaking on the 3M 983 diamond grade conspicuity vinyl under the 301, but the 301 and the E itself. The light blue and gray drop...
  5. Question Print / Cut directly on reflective

    Have a question that I'm not sure on the answer...how would one print light colors directly on dark color reflective vinyl? Attached are two photos of examples of this. I came across this and became perplexed about what kind of printer would be able to do this. I print on engine turn and gold...
  6. flexi 12

    Just like you need to tell the machine when to DoubleStrike, it has to be enabled both in the software and the printer settings itself. If the fans are enabled both physically and in Flexi's settings, I'd start looking at a fuse or whether the fan finally quit. Plug another fan in, like a...
  7. Guys help please

    Reminds me of the old VersaCamm ColorRIP when you threw on the "artistic" setting which basically laid on 3-4x more ink than was necessary.

  11. One up on Gino

    That was my introduction in 1992 when I returned to William Paterson University. "Here's PageMaker and this is what each tool does." We were learning on old Mac IIe desktops that were old and constantly had issues. My computer design education took me that same semester to interning at Felix...
  12. Here's an absolute new one for me, after 51 years.............................................

    The layout from your "competition" is awful. Spreading all that text on the body shows they do not know a decent layout and to keep it where the onlooker can see everything and not scanning the entire vehicle for info. And although the shadow/gradient is different than your die-cut, giving it...
  13. Kawasaki Green

    Depending on the printer, profile, and material [Mutoh VJxxxx], I'm always using either PMS colors 368, 369, 375, or 376. Good call!
  14. Need Help Black and white stickers coming out with a green hue to them.

    Also check to see if your black is actually firing from the printhead. Profile(s), clogged printhead, damper, or bad profile...work through the list first.

  16. Where can I find templates for StarCraft Shuttles?

    Too bad he couldn't send you the drawings in DWG format as you can play with those in AI, Corel, or Flexi without a redraw.
  17. Oracal 651 vinyl

    If you're going to use it for some cut letters or numbers, that'd be fine, but as others have said, print is another matter. Try also NGlantz or maybe Southern Sign Supply or Sign Warehouse. Up here near Port Newark, NJ, I've been using 651 on the sides of 53' trailers for over a decade. No good...

  19. Looking for template for 2005 Pierce Arrow XT firetruck

    A template for a Pierce? Not gonna happen. The company is very secure with their fonts and vehicle layouts. Best to do is find one either nearby to take a pic or online as there are many in various rates of resolution. Good luck!
