• Listen when the carriage is moving and make sure the printheads aren't hitting the "print head cleaning kit" or the ink funnel. That happened to me once on mine. It was time to replace the cleaning kit anyway, but for some reason the one that was in there got raised up just a tiny bit and...

black magic It depends... Tues - Thur are the best days to laminate long runs. Those laminators don't like to be bothered on Mondays or Fridays. :) I have the a Seal 54, the rollers are pretty beat up and I've got the tension cranked down pretty good, etc. etc. Some days I can get it to...

I've noticed this on a few prints. It looks like it is a drying issue, but this happens even in white areas where there is no ink. It actually gives the print a matte finish in certain areas. I don't think it is rewetting, because it looks like this when it comes off the printer sometimes...

Clean it out If you don't have a new one handy, you can run it under hot water and clean off the old ink. You should be able to get it looking new again pretty easily.

Normally I print about 50-60k sq. ft. of graphics per year. Last week I ran 8,000 sq. ft. almost by myself. (I worked 20 hour days for a week straight). I think I ran my printer for 22 hrs./day last week. Thank god for latex! Needless to say, it was the week from hell. I'm just curious...

I worked at a franchise store where we were the first to hire a salesperson among all of the other stores (more than 200 stores). Needless to say, we were the model for the entire corporate structure from that point forward. It pains me to say this but, "a good salesperson is worth their...

+1 for head alignment. That is yellow overspray typically caused from heads not being aligned. If that doesn't work, you may need to change the yellow printhead all together.

I just upgraded my Pro Vehicle Outlines subscription, but of course they don't have the Land Rover LR4. Anyone know where I can purchase? Thanks Team

HOSE that thing down If using 3M frosted/dusted crystal or anything similar make sure you hose it down with app fluid. Do not skimp on the app fluid! You don't want it to prematurely adhere to the window and then try and move it. I can not overstate how important it is to get both the window...

Arlon DPF 8000 is pretty good too. It shrinks a bit, but it will definitely stick and isn't going to come off.

Less is more Less is more. We don't have walk-ins at my business so we decided not to put the address or even our office number on our cards. Anyone trying to contact us has a direct contact here or they will find us on the internet before we even give them a business card. This is prob. a...

My installers always cut those channels on sprinters and leave the "sidewalls" of the channels bare. Or, if it is a drastic color difference, they will lay down vinyl in the channel first. I could be wrong on this, but I really don't think 3951 or even 3M IJ180c (which I use) can handle that...

Hey WB The printer is pretty darn good on most materials EXCEPT - it sucks on cheap banner material. The heat will warp your print and give you a wavy pattern. Other than that, you just need to keep an eye out if the prints are coming out looking "oily" or if you can move the ink with your...

Thanks for the ideas gentlemen. BigFish - hit me up with what you have and I'll see if it fits the bill. Thanks again guys

SOLVED - Kind of... Well, after further review.... The difference was in the swatch settings. I double clicked the swatch and noticed 3 different variations Book Color - This is what I want the output to be Spot Color - CMYK The lady who sent me the file must of made her own swatches and...

Colorspaces are all the same. So, I noticed that this happens with the files I get from one of my clients. It's almost like they have there own pantone library attached? I opened a new file from the designer and even though they have the color labeled as 1795C, it converts to yet another CMYK...

I have a file I made in Illustrator about 4 weeks ago. Just a block of 1795. I am making a new file with the same thing. But now, color is different between the two files. When I convert the old one in illustrator this is what I get. Old File ("AFA-12c-Trailer") : 8.98, 98, 92.97, 1.1...

I'm late to the party on this one, but for anyone that is reading this now. In Illustrator go to your Swatches panel and click the dropdown. Click "Spot Colors" Choose the setting you want and your good to go.

very scientific answer It's heating up the dryers and the curing unit. Plus it also preheats the first part of the media. Also, it's doing some type of initialization with the media advance. I think.............. :) Sure sounds good regardless. It is a pain in the *** sometimes, but...

Awesome
