Does anyone know of or have a chart or diagram that shows the media thickness=feed calibration for Versaworks? I have most of our media calibrated and written on my own chart near the printer but if there's a way to bypass the test print and just use the micrometer to check the media thickness...

A good argument towards laminating perforated prints....in the case of rear windows with wipers anyways. This company only recently started advertising around here so this is probably a fairly new print too .

One of the computers in our shop has Flexi 10 installed and I just noticed that the preview pane in windows explorer doesn't preview the .fs files. We have another older computer with an older version of flexi installed and the files preview fine there. Does anyone know what the issue might be...

I need to print 1000 decals for a customer and I ran into a fairly expensive issue/mistake. I did an initial print/lam/cut test of 33 decals at once (approx 53" x 24") and it worked fine. I then printed 4 sets of 210 of these decals and laminated them and then put them back in to cut them...

We are fabricating a circular backlit box. The face of the sign will be translucent white acrylic or lexan and the graphics need to be translucent as well. The problem is the size. It's 6' x 6' and I can only find translucent vinyl of 48" rolls and our printer is only 54". -I want to avoid...

We do a small amount of flat plate engraving mostly on Rowmark material. The person who normally ran the engraver is gone so I've been fiddling with it a bit. I've noticed that, on small text the letters seem to be "bolder" once they've been engraved vs how they look on screen. Most of the...

Wondering if anyone can suggest a supplier with the best price on boxes of the green painter's tape rolls. We go through tons of the stuff because we use it basically for everything. It has to be a medium tack that doesn't leave residue behind. We don't use it for its main purpose so it doesn't...

Does anyone know who makes a transparent printable vinyl that's specifically for painted walls? I found one by Oracal. 631 Exhibition Cal but I can't find a supplier. Has anyone used this or can you suggest another product? I've used white, Oracal 3651 with Permanent adhesive before on walls...

Has anyone had the chance to use Avery's translucent cut vinyl since they changed the backing material? It's now a thinner, clear material. I'm asking because we've used it twice now on long backlit cuts (One 168" the other 112") and in both cases I did the usual alignment of the material to...

If anyone knows the exact fonts...thanks! The sans serif is so close to Lucida Sans DemiBold it hurts...

Our customer has asked us to make some signs identical to the ones in the attached photos. They are 1/4" black acrylic with approx. 1mm or 1/16th" thick polystyrene(maybe) symbols and letters/numbers. The symbols/letters/numbers glow in the dark. They are for stairwells at our local hospital...

We do a lot of back lit sign boxes, installs, acp panel, coroplast jobs etc... the "standard" type of signs. It's nice to do something a little different sometimes. For this job the request was for an indoor suspended sign to go above a bar at our local arena that is sponsored by Double Cross...

So the VS-540 isn't the quietest printer on the planet however it usually is not THIS loud. It may have been gradual but it seems like it very quickly went from a dull zipping noise to a very irritating high-pitched digital buzzing noise as the print head slides back and forth. Has anyone...

Just the DARO please. Thanks!

Wondering how long unlaminated prints will last outdoors. We print on vinyl and apply to substrate. Roland Eco solvent inks. I almost always laminate prints unless it's for very temporary, indoor signage like a presentation cheque for a press conference or a one-day event sign. I was asked to...

I'm curious to know what everyone's favorite "thing" is... I mean what piece of equipment, hardware, software, tool, trick etc is invaluable to your business? What saves you the most time and money? What makes your job easier? What thing at work could you not part with? Mine is our Rolls Roller...

One of my customers is a cab company. We consistently cut reflective vinyl decals for him over the last couple of years. Most of the time they are white-reflective. For simplicity's sake we buy Oracal 5600 reflective white vinyl because it is printable and fleet vehicle grade and since we print...

I like when others post examples of their work so here goes....the first photo is of the wrap I designed originally (simple and bright) and then what he actually went with after lots of revisions and despite my very logical reasoning against using his van as a brochure.

I was able to find a previous thread on this topic but it didn't really help me. I've used permanent adhesive calendared and cast vinyl to mask eradicable awning material recently and the edges bled through and seemed to eat away the vinyl. We use CooleyBrite2 awning material with Cooley Magic...

Hi, I read through a thread about off gassing but I still have some questions. We print using EcoSol inks. What would you suggest is a good amount of time to let the prints off gas? Do regular solvent inks need more time? What can happen if you don't let them off gas? We've been letting them...
