  1. Markings on canvas prints off Epson s80-600

    I see no rhythmic pattern. I see a random interval along a line, which is how the droplets fall.
  2. Font help

    ITC Bolt. Squished.
  3. Markings on canvas prints off Epson s80-600

    If you're talking about the black drops, those are drops of black ink, most likely coming from a piece of thread or fuzz stuck on the print head/carriage somewhere. The fuzz collects ink mist and then drops it on the print.
  4. Nationals dictating pricing

    When I have companies offer less than I want I just tell them it's too low and if it's not what I want I won't do it.
  5. Mobile Billboard

    If you are in a rural area that may be OK, but if in a municipality you might check to see if the city ordinances allows that kind of mobile sign. All the towns around here prohibit them. Given the way the trailer's framework has been constructed, it looks like the intent is to put billboard...
  6. Screenshot: What software is this?

    The font has them but your software has to be set to use typographic (curly) quotes rather than straight--if it has that capability. But if your software doesn't you can just type commas and then move them up.
  7. Vinyl cut lettering on textured wallpaper

    Yep. I use Nova Displays for all kinds of things.
  8. Vinyl cut lettering on textured wallpaper

    Vinyl letters on nonglare clear plex, hanging with those ceiling wire hangers Geneva posted yesterday. This is what that hanger is made for.
  9. Screenshot: What software is this?

    The presumptive family name is Gorton. But the seafood company is called Gorton's Seafood. The corporation is Gorton's of Gloucester. People do get very mixed up about plurals and possessives. Gorton's is correct in the case of the seafood company because they own it. But if we were making a...
  10. Sign White on a roll

    If you've never handled this material, the word "roll" is throwing you. Although it comes to the supplier on a roll, once you get your 30' cut off, although the supplier will roll it to deliver it, it will not want to go back into a roll without a huge fight. It's really more like a floppy sheet...
  11. Label is peeling upwards when performing cuts does anyone know why?

    A bleed means you make an offset or outline of the object of say 0.1" (more on larger objects may be necessary) and give it the same color as the object. That way when you go to cut the object there won't be a little rim of white showing on one side if the cutting is slightly off. Drying time...
  12. Epson S80600 error code

    According to this error code list, codes beginning in D followed by 3 characters aren't supposed to happen in end user mode. Sounds fairly ominous. https://printcopy.info/?mod=erc&brand=Epson&model=SureColor+S80600&page=22
  13. Label is peeling upwards when performing cuts does anyone know why?

    If it happens while the plotter is cutting, there can be not enough blade length, too much blade length, wrong pressure, etc. This is particularly true when it happens while cutting unprinted vinyl. But since you have a printer-cutter combination machine, what I see is the result of cutting...
  14. Media Shifting on Mimaki CG160FX

    You need new rollers. They are not expensive and they are easy to change.
  15. That Was Quick...

    They also did a quick change on getting rid of Control Panel this week. I suspect a lot of the reports about addition/removal of features come from the people that are beta testing and someone at MS is spitballing ideas in those.
  16. Suggestions Wall Film

    With these removable materials that stick to low grip surfaces can you do cut lettering? Or do they need to be larger sheets?
  17. S80600L Help!

    I know that 3M historically invented a lot of the vinyl products we use. But in my experience, the 3M products have been inferior, whether cut vinyl 30 years ago and now, or print media. Especially their calendared materials.
  18. Printing Backlit Signs Face's?

    I feel that cast is probably overkill given the longevity of the ink. I think our printed faces with the MPI2050 are lasting as long as flex faces we get that are UV printed and have UV coating. Most times the sign face outlives the business itself....
  19. S80600L Help!

    We're using the Avery Approved profile. It uses 104/104/122.
  20. S80600L Help!

    I use an S80600. I use Avery 1105 and have not had any trouble with the ink not drying. I don't use any delay. I don't think the ink will dry when rolled on the takeup reel. But it does dry when I remove it from the takeup roll and stand on end loosely rolled. Prints that fit on the table or...
