Let the squeegee make the vinyl to substrate contact. Don't let it touch till the squeegee puts it down. Clean the surface really well...till it squeaks. Be careful where you lay your vinyl before hand. If you lay the vinyl on something, and get dust on the backing paper, it will transfer to...

I had also heard the ziplock, water, shiny pennies, hanging outside by a door in sunlight works, but haven't tried it. Mythbusters didn't put any pennies in their bag, and their box was inside, so that might make a difference.

The printer wants cmyk 4 color process. If the online printers would send a cmyk chart in their sample kit, it would be easy to pick from their color chart. I have color charts printed on my machines to "help me" hit the right colors here in my shop on my machines. I suppose the new palette...

I use 3 or 4 different online printers for b-cards. 99% of the time, the colors are right using my cmyk palette. A couple months ago a customer wanted me to match the background color from his old business card. It was a deep burnt red. I matched it with my pantone book, and let corel do the...

I don't have problems with my own printing. I got this one to help match and get correct colors when ordering out business cards. It has the cmyk values with each color, but the pantone numbers are different than the corel palette I've always used, so I was looking for a new palette. Thought I...

This is a double post....also in the General Software section. Pantone Plus ? I have an old Pantone Color guide 1000, and recently ordered the Pantone Plus to cmyk coated and uncoated guide. The Pantone Plus guide came with Pantone Color Manager software...

This happens on my sp300 as well. Like Castek said, I think the vinyl was loaded slightly different during the print stage. It knows as soon as it scans the dot and rectangle, and compensates for the variation by nudging the vinyl so it sees the next dot. I just have the 30" model so this is...

Looks like you missed one Bobby...so keep on a cussin' :thumb: Seriously Ryan....I think that printer will cause you enough grief to be not fun at all. Come on...let Bobby have a talk with it :ROFLMAO:

I have an old Pantone Color guide 1000, and recently ordered the Pantone Plus to cmyk coated and uncoated guide. The Pantone Plus guide came with Pantone Color Manager software. I need a palette for use in Corel Draw....and wondering if this software will create this palette, or if there is...

We are almost out and need more...just call when you have them ready. Call the next day and tell them they are ready. Five weeks later they still haven't picked them up.

I had one of those a long time a go. They are a pain in the butt....and very slow. You're only suppose to fill the cartridge with a set amount of ink, and squeeze the cartridge a little when putting the hose nipple on, to give it a little negative pressure. I had a squeeze suction tool (like a...

When i was using mactac, it often came with these flat lines. Bugged me at first, but a little heat and they went away. Still shouldn't come in that way.

I used to use an x-acto till I tried the bubble popper tool. > > > http://www.signwarehouse.com/p-HT-BRX1.html A little wooden dowel rod with a needle sticking out, and a burnishing tool on the other end. I have worn out the needle a time or two, and replaced it with a sewing pin. The needle...

Check with Fellers...maybe on one of their dvd's ? If it's in vector, you could mix it up, and add your own stuff.

I'm a little confused too. So far I haven't used the edge seal or primer, but I've read several times that you need to seal the edge of sign gold. Maybe it's a different sealer? I think the was build up is the wax that gets along the edge of cut vinyl when waxing, and hard to get out.

Sometimes I go here and download a file to get colors > > > http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/logo/pepsi

Not sure about colors, but Grimco has opaque coro.

Up close, my Roland library print looks very similar to yours. ...there isn't a head height adjustment on the sp300v that I know of. I set my heaters on 98 and 98 for calendar vinyl, and 112 and 120 for 3m180 cast. Also, I print what I can in high quality mode if the profile permits, unless...

Can you tape on a foot of scrap material so the heater thinks the print is longer?

I'm confused...are you cutting paper, vinyl, or banner material? Wouldn't try cutting banner material, to heavy. You could cut paper, but it would probably chew up your cutting strip, and wear out the blade holder and blades fairly fast. Vinyl shouldn't be a problem. I have a 4x8 table with...
