Cleaning the surface and soaking for application are two different things. DO NOT use alcohol as an application fluid.

By gosh you're right.....o_O

2 different vinyls? Is that dark spot oily feeling? Like wet? Looks to me it's not drying/curing correctly.

I would assume paint mask?

We do this....but we use the same Rapid Tac we installed with. Soak the transfer tape, rub it all around with your hands. Let it dry for a while then go back and it peels right off.

It's always been a frustration not being able to create a gradient like that. Always have to jump to PS to make one.

If you are going to do prints, and laminate, I would suggest Polycarbonate laminate. Works great for things getting used and abused like that.

I can't wrap my head around wanting to create a proof from your RIP. Your proof should be a nicely formatted template with the artwork, specs, colors, sizes, etc. in it. Flexi can generate this, and you can create one for use in Illy or Corel or whatever you design with. And I agree, to call...

Looks like plasticizer migration, but if it happens on different brands of material, it may not be. Interesting.

Can't you cut the roll down?

Yes, on the 560/570. It replaces the feed roller underneath and supposedly wipes any contaminants off of your vinyl or banner. It's noisy. And it apparently works! I ran the job with it on and my color was nice and solid.

Anyone have issues with this stuff on their HP Latex? I tried printing a job that is a solid color blue basically and it looks like crap....ink is blotchy. I'm about to reload and put in the Wiper Roller, looks like the vinyl is not perfectly clean. Wondering if others have to use the wiper...

I can tell you right now, 4' tall isn't big enough for anything. That will look like a party streamer at 1000 ft. Check this site out for info: Banner Towing : Sky Banners : Aerial Advertising : Flying Banners : Airplane Banners : FlySigns.com '

Any cast vinyl, without air release (not needed), and laminate with 5 or 10 mil Polycarbonate laminate. This lam will add the "heft", giving a super resilient protective layer.

It's the same mentality behind the customer that calls wanting a price for a sign, you give it to them, and they tell you "my guy does it for half that price." THEN WHY ARE YOU FREAKING CALLING ME?!!!

We have the Q54 and it most definitely has ARMS.

That first pic looks like diffuser vinyl....too opaque to be etch.

You kidding? This is a daily thing for sign companies.

Ha...ok. I'm not telling you what to charge. But it kinda goes with TimToad's point regarding some shops cut-rate pricing affecting the industry as a whole. You and I are in the same market....if someone calls your shop and then ours for a 4'x8' banner, there is a major gap between our prices...

$126 FOR 4 X 8???? We're more than double that. If you're not $8/ft on your banners over 20 sf you're losing money.
