sounds like a linearization/saturation issue. usually remedied by setting up a proper profile or modifying an existing one.

our only 1star review on google was a BBQtruck, demanding we letter his food truck the day after he had hand-painted it. Explained how the graphics might not last, but there was an event the next morning and we HAD TO RUSH IT! Sure enough, we demanded money up front & got it done and they were...

i once had this happen on my multicam CNC router. turned out that after a keypad drop, the board inside the controller had unseated one of its connections, and we were able to remedy simply by taking it apart and re-assembling.

i've never trusted bare ink on a decal/panel. lucky the orange vinyl helps, i've used colored sharpies in the past to touch-up and then dabbed on liquid lam to seal.

niiice-lookin' returns! i always wet-apply trans vinyl, & would have put blocks of 2x4's under the face so that it doesn't flex a ton while I'm working out the bubbles. just stab the bubbles at a 45degree angle and keep moving forward.

when we use white polycarb, we print on clear and apply to the face, and then apply a reverse-printed clear on the backside for color saturation while illuminated. some people will oversaturate their print to save this extra step, and simply apply one print to the face, but it looks DARK during...

my favorite removeable is PhotoTex Opaque. i've even removed it and reinstalled on a new wall.

every material and every brand has a different thickness. you can purchase a caliper off of Amazon for under $10 or simply testcut your material prior to running a full sheet.

lubing also doubles as cleaning. the more friction the more the parts will wear & any chatter is potential for odd results while printing. worst-case, you forget to do it for months, you'll just have to replace the pads that glide on the rail eventually. never hurts to give a monthly drip &...

Onyx allows you to rip files and it will estimate amount of ink used. I haven't tried installing a driver for a printer I don't have, but I'm sure its possible to rip some of your old files and compare values of ink consumption/cost. It might not be precise, but its been pretty accurate for me...

i'd prefer to work with colored vinyl vs. printed&laminated on clear if you DO print it, do not use white trans unless you intend to dim the illumination dramatically. I wouldn't "wrap" it, easier to treat it as two seperate parts: pre-stripe the sides, seams wherever you see fit, with vinyl...

you might even just be able to get a subscription for enroute for one month, setup your default files, and then sign back up whenever you need to make some new things. LOVE using enroute and have my own permanent copy buuuut I have been known to subscribe for a month, or a few, of dabbling with...

the way my CNC router works with enroute, is that it is connected via ethernet to form a network with access to a file folder system housed on a PC, with .cnc gcode files saved by Enroute utilizing the driver for my multicam. your CAMaster should have something similiar, for Multicam it was a...

i've put reverse channel letters everywhere. ...even on rooflines that have no backwall to shine light against (i know rite?) there can be ways to cleanup/hide the power&mounts, aestetically, from the from & back, or even make a clever raceway that the letters mount-to that completely runs the...

maybe just contact 2-3 "aqueous banner media" suppliers in canada and see what their options are? accordbanners.com pops up on the googles amongst a few others.

same home for all sheets and just mark your corners on the table with painter's tape

its stuff like this that makes me wanna make a jig to utilize my cnc's vacuum table as a thermal former. ...the boss, however, prefers that I don't attempt to find ways to burn down the shop. man, 2012 really brings me back. that was a good year. 29 years young and undeated at picking presidents.

edited to add: didn't realized this thread has gone down to checking boards n' such. my first thought went to what could immediately cause one nearby head to fail while fiddling with the other. i once almost ruined a DX4 printhead while replacing a manifold. the gremlin was in a drop of ink...

gross. thanks for the reminder that i've catered to such demands in the past. however, you can get pan faces formed with a color applied 2nd surface, or even full color graphics. you're already outsourcing the face I'd imagine, so why not just have them quote graphics too? its possible, and...

you can only clean so much. even if you pre-wipe and entire roll, and hope to god that you don't have misc. wipe-streaks in your finished print, then you'll still potentially re-introduce dust/debris/eyelashes/fingerprints while respooling/loading. ...you could just simply print on an...
