  1. Wrap shrinking or pulling back from seams

    cast vinyl shrinking..... I definitely used 3M 180v3 and 8518 laminate. That is pretty much the only thing I print on (signs, decals, everything) due to client specs. • I have the proof in front of me (printed on same roll) and it looks fine, no visible shrinkage. • I also have a job that...
  2. Wrap shrinking or pulling back from seams

    That was my first thought too, but I only use 3M 8518 in my shop.
  3. Wrap shrinking or pulling back from seams

    This wrap is about 3 months old. Installed by 3M Certified installers that I have been using for years without a problem. This seems like some type of material defect or something, as it looks like it is shrinking or pulling away from the seems. I've never seen this happen with control tac...
  4. Image cut off when printing

    Just wanted to update everyone. I ended up printing the first 4 panels of the wrap (which were correct). Then I flipped the file upside down and ripped it again. So again, I was able to use the first couple tiles as they ripped correctly. Not sure what happened, but the RIP seemed to just...

  8. Legal issues with using Pro sports team logo for wrap?

    I have a few customers who are interested in wrapping their vehicles with Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bears logos. (This goes against my morals as a Wisconsin native, and sports fan. But, I'll just charge them double) Is there a legal way of using team logos / designs ? Or do I need to...
  9. Book color vs. CMYK color (Illustrator)

    In Illustrator, when you have double click on a spot color it gives you the following options: "Grayscale", "RGB", "HSB", "CMYK", "LAB" or "Web Safe RGB", or Book Color". I always choose "Book Color" and let my RIP handle the CMYK breakdown vs. Adobe doing it. I will save as a PDF file...
  10. Image cut off when printing

    eps leaves faint box around placed images I saved & printed an .eps version and it fixed my initial problem of it cutting off the image but.... It placed boxes around the images that are placed in the file. They are very faint, but it does show and it lightens up the background. Any ideas...

  13. Image cut off when printing

    I would like to keep the other panels that I printed already, so I'm concerned with flattening and getting color shift. Weird thing is this happened with both files which are relatively small files (30 mb each). The pdf is only about 25-30mb but grows to 1.6gb when ripped..? Any thoughts...

  15. L26500 - quick onyx color tip?

    Remove Yellow & Magenta On my L26 I have decent luck when I try to get Y & M down to 0 or as close as possible. When all else fails, I resort to the color atlas and keep my fingers crossed.
  16. Image cut off when printing

    I ripped and printed a trailer last night. The art is a combo of vector & raster art. The print cut off part of the raster image on both sides of the trailer (2 different files). It shows up fine in the RIP preview, but it almost seems like it stopped processing part of the raster image or...
  17. My Rant for the day

    "Don't get upset with stupid people, just be happy with the smart ones". It's really is amazing how rare common sense is. Especially when looking for people in the "arts".
