Thanks for your help guys,
In a total pickle at the moment.
Machine is only 16 months old and runs about 2-3 hrs per day.

I have tried turning off the fast-print setting which helps a bit but not near enough.
Its as if the prints have a blurred edge.

Have also lowered temp to ones suggested.

Any more ideas would be very welcome as a bill for £1200 head from digiprint isn’t gonna be good this close the christmas.

Hi Guys,
I have just moved onto the Sun Chemical inks (streamline)
Ade came and did my install too.

Great chap and very knowledgeable.
However i seem to have a slight issue.
I now have a cyan and magenta mist around the edge of all white areas on prints.
Doesn’t matter what profile i use or what setting.

Any clues??

As the product is a carbon film this behaves very differently from regular cast films used for colour changes.
I have spoken to James this morning who has offered some advice on the best way to tackle the job.
As the boot lid has lots of compound curves i know the carbon weave will distort but i am trying to get it as straight as possible,.

Neil, sorry if I went on the defensive. I don’t profess to hold any reasonable knowledge of wrapping, just a foundation in the techniques used.
Whilst on the courses i wrapped smart cars, (as most people do on these courses) van doors and wing mirrors. We did speak about boot lids but didn’t have them to attempt.

On-wards and upwards. I’ll keep trying.

quote Neil Davey:

With all due respect James what did they teach you on the Vehicle Wrapping courses.

When i hear people say "with all due respect" it usually means with no respect at all. I hope this isn’t the case?
I put my hands up to say i’m new at this and after 9 years of signmaking I decided to increase my skill set to help grow my first sole business.

I gained a great deal of knowledge from a well known and long serving vehicle wrapper. I have tried to use the techniques i was shown but come up short at the moment.
As the material I am using is a cast carbon film i have found it very difficult to manipulate like a cast colour change change film would.

I’m sure most seasoned vehicle wrappers find things like a boot lid easy but we all have to start somewhere.

In reply to Martin, I have attended the Roland Academy course where I was taught by James Deacon and then at Grafityp where James also resides.

I can recommend Mike Antrum from isub. His mobile is 07515398729. I have the same printer as you which mike got running fantastically. Just say James Cody from gave you his number.
