  1. Direct to coro prints scratch easily (Dark colors not bonding)

    Well, I think I learned my lesson with regards to the coro prints from 4over. What I got may be the best they can offer and yes, the cost is low, but what good is it if they don’t last a month. I now know a little bit more about direct to coro printing. Thanks
  2. Direct to coro prints scratch easily (Dark colors not bonding)

    You are right Gino that they are temp. signs, I just hope the one batch makes it the 2 to 3 months that they intended it for. J hill, I have never looked at signs365 as most times freight to Canada kills the order to make it worth it. 4over are in Eastern Canada so at least it is a bit...
  3. Direct to coro prints scratch easily (Dark colors not bonding)

    I used 4over for some coro prints. This was the first time I have ordered these and was wondering if it was normal that the ink lifted easily? I assume that they are flatbed printed but the dark colors, they are easily scratched or the ink lifted. The one batch I had to laminate anyway and...
  4. SC-500/CJ-500 Solvent Print Quality Experience, Notes, Suggestions & Questions...

    Yes heat can make all the difference and when you think all should be fine and you find out that the heat was not even and took a long time to come to temp then that is a tough trouble shoot. I made my heat strips out of in floor heat cable. So just look up in floor heat cable and see some of...
  5. Cut vinyl on clear static cling?

    I only tried once to letter cling film and in time the vinyl will shrink and thus cause the cling to buckle and not lay flat. I have printed on clear with a double strike black and they show up well in the day but when the inside is lit up and outside is dark, they will not show as well. The...
  6. Highlights in dark area printing "Blocky & Tiled" from jpg

    To try to give a brief idea of what the rendering intent does, for perceptual, if there is a color in your file that you printer can not print, perceptual will back off that color until it will print on your printer. At the same time it will back all the other colors the same amount so that...
  7. best practice for printing ice skating rink ads?

    Our rink here has all the ads covered in lexan so I use 3621 removable on a thin sheet of styrene and not even laminated and they will last years. However if they are direct to the boards with no other protection then I would think you must laminate and not be a removable vinyl and hope you get...
  8. Highlights in dark area printing "Blocky & Tiled" from jpg

    I always tend to use perceptual for any bitmap or photo stuff. Relative for all others. Also rendering intents for the other settings will tend to shift the colors to either the max or alter them enough so that photos will not look normal. Some times with all the effects in a file and saved as...
  9. smaller media in sc-500 (12", 15", etc.....)

    I have covered my front and rear media sensors since almost day one using the printer. Just make sure to never set up the printer on anything other than roll or it will try to search for the size of the media first. If you do it will feed out your media for a very long time till you can uncover...
  10. Flexi8 "Media Feed Calibration" Question.

    I followed you over here..... I think that is where the Media type you select comes in. That changes the feed rate so a thicker media like HD banner will feed out more on its own but if you used actual thin media like reg vinyl the feed would be too much and lengthen your image. You may never...
  11. sc-500 Vacuum?

    If you have never taken off the thin silver platten or what ever you call that, you may want to open it up and see if a quick cleaning is in order. I think you can see the fan and it may just be quite dusty in there. Make sure the power is off at the back just so you don't shock something when...
  12. sc-500 Vacuum?

    In the service menu about 12 down there is a fan check, but I don't think it changes the speed for the printer when in use, but only to test the speeds. Off Med and High I think. The fan should come on when in use and changes speeds as you go to print to create that vacuum you need to hold the...
  13. Photoshop ( Removal of motion blurr )

    Thanks to all for the input. I just never knew that the CS6 version I had downloaded almost a year or so ago was different than the CC versions that you can also download with your membership. It sounds like the CC versions are the ones that will be updated all the time with new features...
  14. Roland coming out with a latex conversion

    So for example my old DX2 heads have had eveything from waterbased inks to 3 different eco solvent inks in them and they print with all of them. You just need to make profiles to get good color. So with the Ecosol Max2 inks, is there a reason they would not work in these heads? Like the ink is...

    Thanks...
  16. Photoshop ( Removal of motion blurr )

    Adobe called back and I found out my answer. Creative Cloud only works with windows 7 and 8 so XP won't work for those versions and the Photoshop CC version is the one that had the fix for blur in photos. I will need to install the CC versions in my laptop that has Windows 7 so that I can use...
  17. Roland coming out with a latex conversion

    The guy that was talking about the latex conversion stuff was just saying that the Max 2 inks were better for scratch resistance and yes had Lt black and other options for ink sets including white etc. He could not say why they would not work in older printers. I just wonder if it's a profile...
  18. Roland coming out with a latex conversion

    Has anyone else been told that Roland is coming out with a latex conversion for their printers? Just had a call today about this. Also a question about the EcosolMax 2 inks. Has anyone used these? Has anyone used them in a printer they were told that they would not work in but do? Any idea...
  19. Photoshop ( Removal of motion blurr )

    Well that didn't work.... I take it that the Photoshop CC is somthing different than what I am using now. I'm kinda lost here as I have what I thought was a cloud membership. Got a call into adobe but that is another 40 min wait. Does anyone know what I might need to do? Is it a matter of...
  20. Photoshop ( Removal of motion blurr )

    Thanks for the link. I still use xp on my work computer and I know the 3D option is not there unless I use my 64 bit laptop with windows 7. The motion blurr does not show up in photoshop on the XP computer. I am trying to do an update on the windows 7 laptop to see if it will show up there...
