  1. JV150-130

    Looking at another JV150-130 or 160. Has anyone purchased one of these units with a dryer fan? On previous models that we have, the printer came with a bank of fans across the front that was included. On the latest pricing that we received for a new model, the dryer fan is priced separately...
  2. Edge Fx Squeals at Me!

    At the beginning of a print job when my Edge FX starts advancing the vinyl, it squeals LOUDLY - maybe like a belt squealing? Then after another second or two, it makes a softer squeal. Job prints fine. This has been going on for a few weeks. Any thoughts on source of noise and a fix for it...

    Anyone recognize this font? Thanks for your help!
  4. Snap-off Knives

    We have always kept a bucket of snap-off, disposable knives on-hand. The last batch or 2 of these knives have not been good. The blades seem thinner and wavy. They are great for messing up a piece of foamboard. We don't like a heavy metal knife-blade holder. Anyone have a brand of knife...
  5. Faux Etch - Fine VS Coarse

    I am ordering Oracal 8510 for a window logo that the customer wants to have a faux etch look. We have always used the "fine" version, but I am wondering if the "coarse" will have more of an etched look? Anyone ever used it or have any recommendations? - THANKS!
  6. Latex on reflective

    I am looking on outsourcing a bus decal project (12" x 30", full color, reflective white, laminated, approx 50). One quote that I received described their decals as follows: printed latex on premium grade reflective psv with luster laminate. I have never had decals printed using a latex...
  7. Vandal Guard Laminate

    We are making 10 exterior signs - 3 ft x 4 ft / 6 mil polymetal / oracal cast vinyl. The customer also wants vandal guard lamination. At the top and bottom of each sign there is a band of vinyl that bleeds to the edges (see attached). My tubelite sales rep says that we should apply the vandal...
  8. Foil Rips

    I am printing Zero 9 White on to Oracal 651 red using my Gerber FX. To avoid using twice as much ribbon by printing a primer coat of white, I tried printing using the "Dark" setting to see if the white would go down heavier. It is definitely a better print - but the foil rips after a few...

  10. 3M 3326 High Intensity Flexible Prismatic Reflective

    Anyone have a source for 3M 3326 High Intensity Flexible Prismatic Reflective in less than a 50 yard roll? A 12" x 10 yard roll would probably work. - THANKS!
  11. Pointy Banners

    A local school wants several banners that will have a pole pocket at the top and come to a point at the bottom (see attached for example of shape). We will print the banners on our Mimaki JV33 with heavy ink and full bleeds. I am worried that the pointed end will start curling up. Will running...
  12. Trailer Pricing

    We are working on a bid for trailer graphics. It will have a full color graphic that is 54" x 90" that we would print on cast vinyl, laminate and die cut. It would also have one line of lettering (36" x 19') that we could cut out of cast vinyl. We would install the graphic and the wording on...
  13. Gemini Letters & Fake Stucco

    I am about to order a set of 30" formed plastic letters from gemini. My customer's engineering/maintenance dept will be installing the letters. The building has a fake stucco exterior. Do you think that the "Combination All" hardware option is the best for this? It would be a lot of holes...
  14. Thick Stencil

    My local wholesale vendor for stencils has closed, and I am looking for a new source. The stencils were cut from a thick plastic - almost 1/8" thick and could be reused repeatedly. Any suggestions? Thanks!
  15. Elevator Door Graphics

    Has anyone printed and installed graphics on elevator doors? The elevators are inside, and we would be printing using our Mimaki JV33. The graphic would completely cover both doors on the outside of the elevator. I am looking for recommendations for material and lamination - and any tips or...

    I have a customer (a local engineering firm) who needs numbers to put on an outfield fence to show distance. He needs white numbers, .09 inches thick, either 16 inches or 24 inches tall. They need to be shatter-resist and weatherproof. He needs a total of 9. Any sources for who cut cut and...
  20. Issue printing on white static cling

    I am printing black and red (zero 9 ribbons) on to FDC white static cling. The black prints fine. The red border prints fine on the top and bottom but is rough/fuzzy on the left and right sides. Any thoughts?
