  1. Question What's the deal with 60" vinyl?

    I order my banner from GSG...they have their line Starprint, and it comes in 39"! It is perfect for 36" banners with 1" hems.
  2. Need Help Drying on take up roll for Vehicle Wraps

    LOL..someone disagreed with this. Uh, ok. I mean, I get it if buying a whole new machine just isn't in the budget for you, but nothing I said is untrue.
  3. HP 560 frozen after cancelling job

    I have this problem as well on our 560. I think a hardware update is needed, as I don't think I had this happen until the latest one. It's a pain, especially when I'm in a hurry, cancel a job for whatever reason, restart and then wonder why nothing is printing 15 minutes later.
  4. Need Help Drying on take up roll for Vehicle Wraps

    There IS a right answer....if this is a common problem (meaning you are printing lots of vehicle wraps/full rolls), then it may be wise to invest in a Latex printer. Nice and dry, ready for laminate right off the printer.
  5. Suggestions agressive adhesive vinyl

    Avery 3303 is a promotional grade cheap cal vinyl. You say you want strong adhesive? That has normal adhesive. If you want really high tack, then you want Arlon DFP 8000 or even GF 201 HTAP. If you just need a regular permanent adhesive on an air-egress vinyl, I recommend Avery 2903, which I...
  6. What Direction Do You Weed Your Cut Vinyl?

    Yes and it depends on which hemisphere you live in.... LOL. Never have I heard a reasoning for weed direction being based on the blade angle. What happens to vinyl cut with a 35 blade?
  7. Whats the ideal pricing for banner and stickers?

    Those prices need to be a scaled price....meaning smaller jobs are higher per s/f than a larger job. For example, a 2x6 banner might be at $8 s/f, whereas a 5' x 10' banner might be at $6.50 a s/f (not saying that's our pricing...but not far off).
  8. Anyone update to 19 yet?

    We have updated a couple of Designer only subscriptions to 19. So far haven't seen any more problems than we usually have with Flexi. Have not updated our FlexiSign & Print yet; still on 12, and it's not subscription so not shelling out the money yet. Seeing the issues others are having with...
  9. Shipping Large Masked Decals

    We save a few large tubes that banner comes in and roll loosely in those. Many of them we ship flat though, depending on how big they are. Either HD cardboard or Coroplast, sandwiching the graphics. And I missed what you meant about masking vertically? I don't think it matters which way you...
  10. IJ180 CV3 - Issues & Comparable Vinyls

    I have issues once in a while with cast vinyl sticking to powder coated aluminum. It's hit or miss. Haven't ever laid 180 V3 on any though, we always are laying cut white or black on powder coated. I would suspect anything that's removable/repositionable will be harder to keep down. But I bet...
  11. Eco-sol printable that will stick to foam?

    Try General Formulations 201-HTAP
  12. Started at a new shop recently....

    No, while usually sarcastic, I was serious. Now that I look at it closer I think I see the seam you mentioned (but it looks like reflection)....But still, I've done and seen enough wraps to detect one vs paint vs plasti-dip....and the glare/reflections on this car looks like paint. Maybe I don't...
  13. Max print/cut width on S2 T160

    Something isn't right then. I just tried and with OPOS and barcode I can get it to 51.7" max. This is with Flexi RIP though, maybe Onyx adds some extra space.
  14. Need Help Best Sign Vinyl for Kiss Cutting - 3M x Avery x Arlon x Metamark

    You say "kiss cut"... are you doing a true kiss cut or do you just mean contour cutting on your plotter?
  15. Need Help Vertical Banding on Siser ColorPrint PU with a HP L26500 Latex Printer

    Your feed rate is off then if it bands at high pass. That stuff is thin so you need to increase the feed rate. Looked at the photos just now....looks like your heat settings are too high as well....lots of markings going on there.
  16. Manual settings for Flexi

    Stick with 720x720 but go with smaller passes....like 6 pass for down and dirty and 10 or 12 pass for more precise work and solid colors. (* I don't know what pass settings you can set on the Mutoh....these numbers for reference)
  17. Need Help where can I buy small pieces of Avery Supreme...?

    Good luck getting the color you want....anywhere. Supply is less and less every day for cut vinyl. Unless it's black, white, blue, and other very basic colors. I just hunted for some Avery SC 950 in Real Red....no one has it. Everyone has to drop ship from the mfr., and only full rolls.
  18. Need Help FlexiSIGN How do I add crops to a file?

    Oh we do that anyway....slight bleed AND margin marks (if white background).
  19. Started at a new shop recently....

    I'm calling BS. That's a black car, factory paint
  20. Need Help FlexiSIGN How do I add crops to a file?

    use MARGIN in Flexi RIP. Then you don't cut anything off when you cut one side.
