Years ago I envisioned a car wrap printer that was like a car wash.....first you apply an ink receptive spray to everything you want printed, then drive through just like a car wash, with large ink nozzles all around. One day maybe??

Are they grouped like you want them in Illustrator first? And when you import, do you use UNGROUP or UNGROUP ALL? EDIT: Found you a workaround after testing this myself, each one of those grouped sets you have, you need to make them Compound Paths. They'll stay together once you ungroup them...

Drop down menu from the plotter.

You need to run Output Size Compensation....assuming you run Flexi. Not sure what other programs call it.

So you don't remove the screw when it IS a wrap?? ::scratching my head::

Changed LC/LM head yesterday, one of the C/K heads today, and replaced maintenance cartridge. Looks like that fixed the issue. Running the job again to know for sure.

We print on poster paper for those type clients. They simply tape them inside the windows. For outside, coroplast.

Not using Mimaki myself, but are you printing OPOS reg marks?

Hmmmm... yes SMK 3 is about due. I kinda thought about that, but since I don't see this in any other colors but this teal in this job, I was focused on ink and printheads.

That's what I thought, but I'm running a 1" color bar. Changed one printhead that was very high usage, but still looked great in status plot. Didn't change the issue.

This happened on two different rolls of the same media. It's doing it across (carriage travel)

All of these are good....kerning, too much/little negative space. Color combos are on of the big ones I see. Red on black, red on blue, red with blue outlines....ugh. I have to talk so many people out of those. Overuse of trendy fonts is big too....the swirly crap, or that Cowboy font, whatever...

Yes rails are clean and lubricated. Machine is well maintained. That's why this is so odd to see happen suddenly on this machine. I'm not sure what the pinch rollers have to do with that though.

Having issues suddenly with some bands in my solid colors. First time this has happened. I have cleaned the encoder strip, and I just ran a printhead test plot. All looks good, no dropouts in the nozzles. Any other ideas what is happening? They aren't uniform....intermittent all through this...

Our county has placed mandatory mask requirements for all businesses. We're not posting any signs, hoping most people will follow county orders. Most people that have been coming in wear them anyway.

GSG has stepped up and lowered pricing on most all the stuff we order. Anything I have questioned or asked to lower, they have. Using Grimco less and less except for a couple items.

Never gonna get a good grey with C0/M0/Y0/KX. And when you do that, the other heads will drop out from not pushing ink. If you insist on using black only, run a color bar to keep your other colors from drying up.

Used to use the Briteline 3203X but it sucks on vehicles, which I discovered after having to remove some graphics just a month after. That glue is hard to get off, and I think they actually state not recommended for vehicles now.

I've used many of these recommendations, still do on occasion. But lately have been using Avery 2903 almost exclusively for all intermediate. And it's good for short term vehicle graphics (<5 years). And Cheaper than most others.

We've done one....recall just needing longer screws.
