    Run it through the laminator a couple of times...
  2. Need Help HP T520 won't print boarder

    What program do you print from? Can you try to print as an image the same file, does it still clip? It's either wrong media size (e.g. settings in driver) or something with the settings in your program you print from/something in the file.
  3. Magnet Removal

    Fishing line between magnet and vehicle? Pull back and forth and it saws away the double sided adhesive (if it's not too thin). Worth a try and be prepared to remove a lot of glue. Decals looking to, be in great shape BTW =D
  4. Problems laminating UV Prints

    You need a special laminate for uv prints, the ink is so textured and sits "on top" of the material so I guess the laminates for uv prints have thicker glue layer or something. As mentioned, this is not going to end well and if you get it applied it's a big risk the laminate will fail. Edit...
  5. Discussion what's everyone's hurry????

    I blame the Internet, when everything is a click away, be it clothes, hardware, equipment etc. people get used to seeing prices immidiately, delivery next day and instant feedback on everything from email to chat to Facebook. Now, this is the trend today, this is how customers work so you have...
  6. Your GOOGLE listing. I've had it

    I never say "yes" anytime with any sales guy on the phone. Funniest was last week when some company called and offered Internet/Google/online advertising. I asked the guy why he tries to sell something he don't believe is working. "What do you mean" he asked. "Well, you go on about how efficient...
  7. Removing printed fleet wraps

    If it's tough or brittle a steamer is the way to go. Had some DHL sprinters with yellow wrap all over and it was much older than yours, struggled at first getting just small pieces off but then used a steamer (wallpaper remover) and it worked like a charm. I've noticed a difference in steamers...
  8. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    Just curious, why is so many against the collecting agencies? Here in Europe it costs maybe 100-200 bucks tops for that kind of a sum to get collected if it takes several reminders etc. and you don't have to mess with lawyers or anything. You just upload a copy of the invoice to them. Collecting...
  9. HP Printer not printing colors the same as a couple months ago

    Don't know how it is in Flexiprint but we have had a couple of times employees selecting a 600dpi profile instead of 300dpi in Onyx Thrive resulting in colours that are off a slight bit. "Thought it would be higher quality" which is understandable but it differs from the 300dpi profile. Other...
  10. Graphtec plotter making clackity clackity sounds

    Had similar sound the other day on our Summa, although not so loud and worked fine it was gunk built up on one of the rails on which the carriage wheel/bearing runs. So it was if you were driving a car 80 mph on a gravel road. Cleaned the gunk off but had to re-do several times until all...
  11. HP Designjet 6100ps

    The Designjet Z-series is excellent for printing high quality on paper etc. but is not working with sign vinyl. It has pigment inks which are somewhat water/uv resistant but not anywhere close to a latex or eco-solvent. If you are doing indoor stuff such as photo enlargements, wallpaper(?)...
  12. Question Larger ink cartridges for the 115

    At least the cartridges as coded (they have a chip in them) so even if they fit the printer won't work with them. This is the idea with different models and price points.
  13. Cutting second file shorter?

    We are baffled at something that occurred the other day. We cut one 24.7 ft long graphic, pretty simple letters and a box out from standard black vinyl. The graphic uses almost the full width of the material. The other copy from the same file we sent buckled up in the cutter so we had to raise...
  14. HP Latex 365 printing bad

    The material is buckling up on the heater and catching the upper part of the dryer unit when exiting, the ink is not dry so it smudges. We usually see this on some materials if you don't feed it out enough before printing starts, temp settings are too high, the platen has some goo on it so the...
  15. Premium Customers

    We do bend over backwards when one of our "top ten" customers needs something ridiciously fast or so (same as you, providing "better" service and faster delivery) but they usually also pay premium for that. We often discount freight or "share" the freight 50/50 if it's a bigger order. For us the...
  16. metaza software

    Isn't it available for download from Roland's site directly: https://www.rolanddga.com/support/products/software/dr-metaza-2 Or do you have to enter any serial number etc. Was a few years since I used it so can't recall but on that page on Roland's site there's an installer to download. Good luck!
  17. Remote desktop

    Thank you all for great inputs, I'll look at some of the options mentioned. Yes, it is probably considered commercial use so that's why I consider buying TeamViewer as well as it's giving me the popup asking to buy. But on the other hand it is more expensive than Illustrator or Corel a month...
  18. Remote desktop

    What remote desktop programs/services do you guys use? I have used TeamViewer from home to connect to my work PC at evenings to do one or two invoices, sales orders etc. I liked the software but now they want at least 39,- a month for a licence and I am looking at options on the market before I...
  19. Fuji Acuity 1600 LED

    digiprint-supplies.com has them and was also willing to send some instructions/give support for installation when I asked. I think they were around 1200? Thinking of getting one myself since the black needs replacing.
  20. Worth "Fixing" older HP DesignJet L25500

    Why not fire it up and see what happens? The heads aren't the same as eco-sol so you can maybe get them to work even? On an old HP Designjet 5000 I put the heads on some moist soft paper tissue and that cleared some clogs, so if you have spare time you've got nothing to loose anyway if you got...
