after just a normal clean, the test print was perfect minus 2 cyan dashes that have never fired on a test print. Just doing a manual clean now and going to press a swab to the heads. Never done a head soak, how is it done?

ok test print is good now. Anybody have a clue why it wouldn't cap correctly? Guess i'll be checking that everytime i close up for the night now.

powered down, unplugged, waited a couple minutes and turned back on. it capped correctly and am now doing a clean and praying for a good test print.

now im looking at it while the carriage is parked and it looks like the capping stations haven't come up all the way. worse on the left side and almost capped on the right which is consistent with my test print. Think i have a bad servo?

started printing this morning and print looked like crap. didi a test print and hardly any nozels are firing. looked at the heads and I can see rings on ink rings on all the heads. Does this mean it didn't park in the capping station over night? What should I do, already did a normal clean...

picked up a roll of 3621 matte and am printing some yard signs. The print quality on this vinyl is better than on gloss, prints great in high speed mode. printed a sample, cut a peice off and put face to face and clamped together between two pieces of scrap ACM about 10 mins off the printer...

Thanks for all the responses guys. Going to pick up a roll of 3621 matte and try that out. Still have 50 signs worth of vinyl already printed on 3641g and has been drying for a couple of days, think I'll try the baby powder method for those.

Thanks for the breakdown Gino. 3 months is a long time to wait for yard signs. Out of curiosity how long do screen prints or uv flatbed prints take to fully cure?

Does the 3164's clear adhesive allow sunlight to pass through, making the signs hard to read on a sunny day?

We've tried standing them up also and still seems to happen just not as fast. That is good to know about matte not sticking to eachother, I'll have to test that out, but doesn't help for signs that need to be glossy. Is dusting with baby powder common practice? what if the signs were out for...

The last few batches of yard signs that we have done have been sticking together. This hasn't happened before that I know of. We print on oracal 3641 on a roland xj 540, oem inks. We print yard signs with gcvp profile in standard mode with the take up reel, let dry on a roll for a day before...

No love for oracal 3751ra? Guess I'm going to have to get a roll of 3m 180... and try it out. I have noticed with the 3751 that when repositioning sometimes the adhesive stays with the vehicle and not the vinyl, looks like crap if it doesn't get laid right back down where the adhesive came off...

I have a customer that wants his trailer wrapped, "I want snowmobiles, bikes, and ........ babes" on it. Where is a good place to obtain good images for these requests? The trailer is a 26' enclosed trailer.

yea ignore my post

why not lay your graphic on a table upside down peel the liner and roll the barrel straight over the graphic and then heat and conform as needed? ... never have done this...

we just got our hiker in today and are very happy with it so far

haha i try to lay my dimes in a nice even row, much harder than it looks

dewalt xrp works great we just get 4 packs of bits as they get dull after some use.

the roland xj series is the print only version of the soljet xc. we have the xj 540 and it has pinch rollers across the whole thing that operate with one handle, much better than the xc's pinch rollers and no tracking issues or having to unwind material before it goes through the printer.

never have tried it for coro but plumbers goop is some good ****
