  1. Need Help Wax on a Wrap

    Our most recent wraps are for some personal trainers and they use their trucks for daily drivers and asked about both wax and a spray can type ceramic coating. I think but don't know that both are OK, but rather than assume I'd like to give them a for sure answer. A local radio station we did...
  2. 751 acting like calendared.

    We've been using 751 metallic silver for years and recently removed large graphics from a black tahoe that had been on there for about 4 years and the letters and swoosh were dull and cracked and shrank. Our sales rep says 751 is not cast but a premium calandered. I think that's true looking at...
  3. CE3000 cutting master

    I need to run my back up plotter for awhile on a new pc, but need a driver I can't find on graphtec website. Our CE6000 blew the main board and our old plotter works good enough to get by, but not without the right cuttingmaster. Thanks in advance. J
  4. 3D piece to add to wrap

    We are making a smart car look like an apple, for Apple Realty. On the top we need to place a realistic apple stem and leaf. We have not done anything like this, so we need some help. Needs to mount secure to the see through roof. Be wind resistant. Long lasting. Any referrals will be...
  5. Directories supplier

    We need to look into a vendor for large outdoor and smaller indoor directories along with door plates for a complex of about 60 offices. I like the curved set in Johnson Plastics, but we need the outside directories (2) to be larger as well as easy to constantly edit. Same with the interior...
  6. Looking for contour cut printed 6mm alupanel

    We have a need to send a vendor the print and cut files that can quickly and cost effectively provide 6mm alupanel or comparable composite signs printed both sides and the tops are rounded over. Has some already, but does not like the particle board core stuff. Needs 30 signs right now that are...
  7. Magnetic ppi?

    I have been using the 30mil magnetic. Here in Texas it get very hot and the thin mags look like bacon after only a few weeks of summer. What I just noticed though is that the 20 mil comes in with 16ppi and the 30 is only 12ppi (poles per inch maybe). Same manufacturer too. The heavier thick mag...
  8. Tradeshow panel material suggestions

    For this one customers very large tradeshow/expo we have used pvc on easels, then last year we made about 14 2'x6' high free standing foamcore, using the scrap to make triangle feet. She's asking for something more durable yet less expensive. Our supplier sent us falcon board. I hate it. It's...
  9. Ink Cartridge more empty

    Our new XR would show empty and had probably 75cc left in it. We took a level to it and noticed the machine was out of level slightly leaning back... so we took some pvc and stacked it under the back wheels till it was slightly leaned forward and the cartridges come out very empty now. Try it...
  10. Battery back up

    I did the math and our 7 amp xr needed like a 1000va and I added some for the pick up reel, so we bought a 1500va and it will not work. I am trying to use a UPS battery back up. Mostly we need surge protection, but like the stable voltage and it's nice if it actually stays on and printing during...
  11. eps generator

    A long time ago, like 12 years or so, we made an eps generator by following some instructions. It was a way to translate a file to be an eps. It was added as a printer and you opened the file and when you went to print, you chose this eps generator, and the file was translated and saved rather...
  12. 3D engraving

    We need to provide a customer with a couple monument signs and would like to make a portion of it 3D, not flat cut, but like I've seen at a sign show years ago. It was an oversized hamburger and each part done individually. This will be simpler and not so many colors. I don't think I have the...
  13. Cyan everywhere

    Not overspray looking and not random. The yellow we thought was all, but looking closer this cyan dot pattern is noticeable in the magenta and the cyan appears to have white, or a lack of dots, so like the missing dots are in the other colors...??? we are printing on a roland SP540-V. The...
  14. Matte Black Door Pilar

    3M FUS1007 High performance Scotchcal w/comply Automotive Grade is the standard, but only comes die cut and vehicle specific as far as we can find. We are looking for something that is a pretty good match in small quantity that can be used in it's place and just wrap these, no more special order...
  15. Changes all colors to black

    We have tried resaving and many other things and find the problem is in versaworks. Older files that printed fine days before open and all colors are changed to black on the screen and print black. tiffs are fine, but ai files that are saved as eps or pdf change to all black. Saving as tiff or...
  16. Car Wash

    We are using Avery MPI1005 EZ apply RS. We usually tell our customers that after a week or so a car wash is no problem and have had no one tell us it was. I read recently that it is not advised by Avery and to hand wash only. We only do commercial wraps and these rarely ever get washed and...
  17. Florescent yellow diamond grade reflective

    We need a small amount of florescent yellow diamond grade reflective to do one fire truck. Suppliers require large min order of $1,000 for 2 24"x10yd rolls. I thought maybe someone out there has enough to sell a small amount. If so, let me know in a private message and I'll call you. Thanks, Joe
  18. Transparency Issues

    We have been dealing with this for years and need to know if there are any solutions. We use ai c6 on a pc and print to the Roland SP-540V through RVW 5.2. A friend of ours prints on the same machine from Flexi and has none of the issues. We pay him to print some of our jobs when a color change...
