  1. Hi-tac(?) vinyl with thick adhesive?

    I know this is a long shot, but: I just removed printed and laminated vinyl from concrete crash blocks. The adhesion was the same on both concrete and reflective areas and was pretty easy to remove. It feels more "rubber-y" than most vinyl. Customer says its been on there for three years and...
  2. My old squeegee and me

    I have finally decided to retire my old 3M PA-1 squeegee. It has been my companion for over 18 years and seen a lot of action, but now its time to let go. If i straighten the edges again, it will just become too small. Admittedly i've kept it more for fun than any practical reason, but it's a...
  3. Soften light with vinyl?

    One of my biggest clients emailed me this question: "Can you soften the light in my office with some kind of vinyl?" Has anyone done somethiing similar? I'm thinking that it might be enough to put white vinyl over it, matte not to stick out in the ceiling.
  4. Bubbling vinyl?

  5. Helping Competition/colleagues?

    Just curious about what others do. :) I used to work in Stockholm, capitol of Sweden. We used to help/get help with printing, cutting and such from other companies in the business if someone had problems. Now i have moved to a small town where there are two other sign companies. My printer...

  8. HP 310 with Cyan problems

    I "inherited" a HP 310, and have not had any introduction to it, so i'm learning as problems show up. This time its the Cyan that's acting up. When i print blue misses about half an inch. Then it gets going. After a headclean and automatic alignment i get this result. Is there anyone who can...
  9. Blue turns purple during drying

    Hi. I have a HP310 and a problem. As i print a blue logo it looks all blue and correct just after the printhead, but when it comes out of the heater it's purple? I'm new to this printer and have no idea where to start troubleshooting. I print on Oracal 5600 reflective.
  10. S2 140T not cutting right with SCC

    Hi. new member, first post. I have a Summa S2 140T and run it with Summa Winplot and Cutter Control. When i cut with winplot everything is as it should be: perfect results. But when i cut printed files with SCC it "overcuts". Like, for instance, when it cuts a small "i" the cut continues...
