  1. Backlit Banner material for my HP L26500?

    I need a backlit scrim for my HP L26500. Any suggestions? I tried Beaver Products material, but it is a textile and not what the client needs. Need some type of scrim or something for outdoors.
  2. 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...
  3. 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
  4. 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...
  5. 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...
  6. 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?
  7. 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...
  8. What banner material to use on L26500?

    I haven't had to print banner material on my L26500 for a long time. I remember having heat issues with cheaper stuff. What do you guys use? Price really isn't much of a concern. Thanks team!
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. L26500 Drying issue or ....?

    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...
  13. How much media do you print in a year on your machine?

    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...
  14. Where can I buy a template for a Land Rover LR4?

    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
  15. Colors changing between computers...?

    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...
  16. Need a substrate for....

    I need a substrate that I can use for a rounded desk graphic and other things like that. The picture attached is pretty much the same thing we have. The desks we make are just metal framing, so the panel has to be rigid enough to keep its shape. But, they are only attached with velcro so they...
  17. How would you setup this truck wrap?

    I'm trying to figure out how to print this. This is going on mulitple F350 Dually's, so there are some huge curves to contend with. I'm just not sure how to keep the lines straight if I print it as a wrap. I feel like I couldn't possibly get the measurements close-enough to keep the lines...
  18. Should I extend my warranty on my HP L26500?

    My warranty runs out tomorrow on my HP L26500. So far I have gotten a new take-up motor (some small plastic piece broke so they replaced the whole thing). I saw the part online for like $1500 or something crazy so it just makes me think that one or two fixes like this would offset the cost of...
  19. Printable clear media suggestions?

    Anyone have any suggestions for a good clear printable vinyl? Cast preferably. Going to be used for 2nd surface acrylic prints mostly. I was using Avery MPI 1060, but it is like $1000/roll and only comes in 60". I'm looking for something a bit more economical and 54". I'm running a HP...
  20. Onyx 10 can't open network files because of long filenames

    I keep getting errors trying to open files located on my network drive because it says the filenames are too long. The only way to correct this is to copy file to desktop and open it from there. Postershop RIP-Queue gives me the following error: "The file name: "T:\...blahblah" is too long...
