  1. Wall primer

    Do you have a wall test kit? Have you tried IJ180cv3? It costs more, but not really if you are going to spend time priming a wall. Give it try. In California, almost every wall is painted with low VOC paints. I have found IJ180 to be quite versatile in many, many situations. Give it try...
  2. HELP! Window Perf hates HP LATEX

    We have had that problem. Briteline likes to curl and cause head strikes and also hits the top of the heater and comes out with defect mark from the ink not being dry and hitting the top of the heater. Since then we use General Formulation Windowmark 270 70/30. Use their ICC Profile. What a...
  3. HP 831 Latex Ink / STS

    I like to sleep easy at night, and my printer (360) is a workhorse. Why would I not give it the ink that was designed specifically for it. Sometimes saving a nickle can cost you a dollar. Your actions can also translate to the quality of your product. 1st it's the ink, then it's the vinyl...
  4. autowrap help AVERY DENNISON color change

    How old are the wraps. When color change goes bad it can look like that, and continue to discolor between washes. Almost like the fallout from the atmosphere creates a reaction with the wrap if you don't wash often enough.

  6. Wall graphics

    3MIj180cv3 with 3M 8520 lam, is what we use on all the low VOC walls in California. We do a wall test prior to print. Ij180 gets most of them. I hope this helps.
  7. Which vinyl should be good to avoid these failures

    If I were to guess it is calendared vinyl and overtime shrank and caused the tenting across the corrugation. An inexperienced truck wash employee with a power washer could easily cause that to happen. My best guess anyway. Ij180 sticks to everything and let's you sleep at night. Use 8518 (gloss...
  8. Which vinyl should be good to avoid these failures

    Was it cold outside? Just now sure when this picture was taken. At install or after installed?
  9. Which vinyl should be good to avoid these failures

    Ij180cv3/8518 lam. You might check out some install videos for laying down vinyl on a corrugated trailer.
  10. All icc profiles have color shifted

    I would look hard at my printheads - first.
  11. Whats vinyl is used on boats and marine things?

    Ij180 for boat wraps. We usually use ij35 for lettering direct to the boat, it grabs better, than ij180 as a cut graphic.
  12. Wrapping an exterior door

    Ez pz, your overthinking it, unless your trying to wrap the jams? Clean well, do a vinyl test ( although most all should stick, depending on if is painted or not). If your really worried, run a small brush stroke of primer around the edges. Wrap it, trim to the door edge, using an inside edge...
  13. Bad Nozzle Check

    How much is a new head for your machine?
  14. Night Bright reflective on hp latex

    We don't laminate it either, that will mess with the reflective quality. Hp ink holds up well.
  15. Night Bright reflective on hp latex

    We use Nitebrite with our Hp 360, no issues. Not as brilliant reflective as a 3M prismatic vinyl, but also about 1/4 the cost. We have used it for equipment decals for airport equipment, trucker logo decals, HOA street signs, handicap parking lot signs. No complaints or returns yet. Knock on...
  16. Fluorescent vinyls with extended outdoor life?

    We're living in a post covid world. Shi* is out of stock and back ordered everywhere. End of August for a less than popular color and vinyl type is pretty quick these days. Nothing is as it used to be, plus you have the post Covid pandemic excuse for most everything. Roll with it.
  17. How do you guys keep track of orders/jobs currently in your shop?

    We use Trello, with three boards. One for all employees that has columns, Design, Print, waiting for processing, ready for install, then each of our installers names, with their daily workload. On the 2nd and 3rd board, which are designated to the project manager/salesperson. These have...

  19. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    Graphtec 8600. Great machine. Usually the troubles you have with this one, is just lack of knowledge.
  20. Need Help Flexi Rip and Print job shows in print status and can’t be removed.

    We dont' use Flexi, but have had this problem in Onyx. When the file gets hung up and won't go away this is what we do for ONYX (not sure if Flexi is similar) Go to the C drive / Programs / ONYX - open the ONYX Program files, and scroll down until you find a file that is named "Work". Open...
