Printing a couple of wraps that have some larger areas (18" x 36") of solid grey in the design. When i print them, the grey has a lot of light and dark spots. I am using 3M IJ35c vinyl on a Mutoh 1204 Printer and Flexisign. I don't notice this with any other colors. Also, when I shrink the...

I design and print a lot of race car wraps as a side business. I get asked to share my design files A LOT (for apparel and iracing) due to the nature of the business, however, I'd like to get some thoughts of others on this subject please. I try to keep my wrap prices to a minimum to help out...

Having all kinds of troubles matching or even coming close to the same shade of RED that matches Wrisco aluminum sheets. Everytime I do a race car wrap for a red dirt late model my wrap looks orange when I put it on. I've tried experimenting with CMYK and mixing myself and test printing and...

I had a call from a customer this morning about getting a large vertical banner made for outside their business. They want a Breast Cancer Awareness banner for the month of October (last minute decisions I guess). They apparently have some tall poles to hang it from, but they want the banner...

I printed some 4' by 8' decals yesterday and everything printed perfectly. I did have to change the Black ink cartridge during print. Today I am trying to do some printing and all the reds are printing out as black. I opened the cover and I can see black ink mixed with my magenta in the...

I have a previous client that asked me if I'd be interested in doing new sign face for his business. He currently has a 4' X 8' MDO board hanging by some type of chain in a metal pipe frame that a previous owner built. He wants to use existing frame and hang similarly. He would like to...

Been having issues trying to use AURORA PRINTCRAFT Engine Turn as a Fill outline. I have this problem anytime I use Fills in my designs. I will attach a photo of what is going wrong. The fill is shown on my computer screen as I want it in the design, but when I rip/print some of it is missing...

I have a US-Tech Ak-500 Laminator, it's about 4 years old and appears to be in great shape. I'm having trouble with getting like hundreds of small air bubbles under the laminate. It looks like a bad case of silvering. It seems to be worse in the middle portion of the 48" wide prints. I...

We've been using Ora 3651RA and 3m IJ35C to do our Dirt Late Model wraps. But have been thinking about trying some Ora 3165RA since our supplier stocks it in 30" widths. I've never used it before, can someone give me some feedback on the differences between the Ora 3651RA and the 3165RA...

Hi again...this issue keeps creeping up on me....it seems to come and go. I have cleaned around the head, cap, and wiper with a swab and cleaning solution. I have wiped the track that the print head travels on with a clean cloth. And I have cleaned the media rollers with alcohol. Nothing...

I'm doing some small decals for a local car lot, they are contour cut, and probably need application tape on them. Looking for some advice on what is a good App tape to use on printed vinyl...oracal 3651 RA? I've used some R-Conform 4075 RLA before and it transfers well, but will not stick at...

I was printing side wrap for race car and all was going well, got to the end of print and last foot or so my colors got light. The colors I noticed it most on were purple and black. I did a strong cleaning or two on the printer and also cleaned around the print head and wiper with cleaner and...

Is there a good overall vinyl to use for PRINTED vehicle stripes, decals, and cut out letters? I generally use Oracal stuff now. I recently did a logo for a back window of a vehicle that included a printed logo, then underneath had customer name and phone number cut out, and I used ORACAL...
