  1. InDesign - How to save hi-res pdf @ 10% scale

    Amatuer night at the Apollo here, but...... (InDesign is like Microsoft Publisher to me..... :/ ) I have an InDesign file that has 2 linked .psd files in it. I need to save a high-res file from InDesign so I can print. The InDesign file is 1/10 scale. When I try saving PDF I change...
  2. 3MIJ180Cv3 Is anyone else having a problem with the vinyl?

    3M had a recall last year because of the adhesive. I had a Fiat wrap shrink back by 1/4 - 1/2" everywhere. I wonder if they are still working out the kinks with a new supplier or something.... http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?117904-Wrap-shrinking-or-pulling-back-from-seams

  4. HP L360 Vehicle Wraps

    +1 Don't buy a solvent printer. They are a pain in the ***. The best thing I have ever done is move to latex printers. I had the L25 & moved to the L26 and love both. Go team
  5. Install window graphics, but cutting into glass when triming

    Solved Honestly, I'm not sure if it is treated. That was just the first thing I thought when I was cutting on the glass and noticed the scratches. I just tried it with a stainless steel blade and it cuts without leaving marks. The new blades I have are carbide-tipped. I never even thought...
  6. Install window graphics, but cutting into glass when triming

    I was going to put some window perf on my new Hyundai Sonata but noticed that the glass is treated and is damaged when I try to trim the graphics. How do you deal with this or am I out of luck? Thanks Team
  7. How much for that stop sign?

    Maybe $300ish for .080 aluminum w/ high intensity reflective. $300 - $600 for post, install, etc. $300 +$450 ======== $5,700 (From my government issued calculator) Maybe he was adding w/ the metric system instead. Tell him you'll do it for $5,200.
  8. Arlon DPF 8000 vs 3M IJ39

    Why would you need to use Arlon DPF 8000 or similar vinyl for a vehicle door? It seems like you'd want to use a more durable laminate to protect it as opposed to a stronger adhesive...? (DPF8000 is made with the finest Budweiser horse hooves known to man. 32 horses per roll. Space-grade...
  9. L26500 Print Quality Issue (Vertical banding, thermal maybe?)

    I just noticed the humidity in my print room is @ 62%! I totally forgot to look at that. I usually pay attention to it better and keep my temp @ 72 and my humidity around 20 or 30%. I'm going to get my trusty dehumidifier out and running again. I'll update with results.
  10. L26500 Print Quality Issue (Vertical banding, thermal maybe?)

    ***update*** I am slowly getting through my issues here and thought I would update everyone. • I lowered the drying temp by about 8ºc and that seemed to help. • I adjusted my ink levels which for some reason were all at 100. They are now in the 80-90 range (roughly). • I noticed after all...
  11. How to tile cut graphics easily?

    That is basically what I've been doing, but was hoping for a better solution. When I had a graphtec plotter, I could just choose the setting in Onyx to put the crop marks on each tile automatically. (Spot color = CutContour) That was awesome for simple cutting. I like having the ability...
  12. How to tile cut graphics easily?

    Printing a logo for a trailer. The graphic is roughly 53" x 250" This is too big for me to be able to print w/ crop marks on and get my plotter to read, so I manually tiled the graphic in Illustrator but that is a pain. I don't want to print a 30" x 250" piece and also a 23" x 250" piece...

    3M ControlTac (IJ 180cV3) Standard 3M profile.
  14. L26500 Print Quality Issue (Vertical banding, thermal maybe?)

    The diagonal banding is actually a shadow, not in the print. 1 - What do you think the problem is here and what is the solution for future prints? 2 - Do you have any suggestions to get me through I'm pretty sure my problem here is heat (too much maybe?) and excessive ink related but I need...
  15. Help a beginner out with dry-erase material?

    R-Tape stuff works well, but it sucks to remove. It is actually a metal foil (if I remember correctly). My vote is for white low-tac vinyl w/ dry-erase laminate. You would laminate the vinyl before you apply it to the desk. Therefore it is basically one piece when you apply it.
  16. HP L26500 Cutter not working

    **solved** I enabled the take-up reel on the front panel of the printer. Therefore, it would form feed, but never cut. Once I disabled that, it worked as expected. Thanks Team!
  17. HP L26500 Cutter not working

    Yes, the machine is set to "Self Adhesive".
  18. HP L26500 Cutter not working

    I have the cutter enabled on the machine and also in the rip (Onyx). When I click the "Form Feed and Cut" button, it feeds forward but doesn't cut. Self Adhesive (3M 180cV3) Has anyone had this problem before?
  19. Wrap shrinking or pulling back from seams

    Printed on latex printer, so no outgassing needed. Ink saturation was moderate to high, but One of the most telling things though, are the few spot graphics on there and how those shrunk too. ================================== UPDATE: Check out this pictures and let me know what you...
