  1. Lunch Time

    This is why you should stop working and actually sit down to eat your lunch. I took one bite. RIP, burrito.
  2. Rowmark Adhesive Failure?

    Anybody having issues with Rowmark lately? I'm not sure if it's the adhesive or what, but on four different pieces of acrylic faced with Rowmark, the Rowmark has developed "bubbles" in the surface of the material. Most the time it's just one or two spots, but one piece looked like it was hail...
  3. Pre-cut VHB Squares

    Anybody know who makes pre-cut 1" x 1" VHB squares for mounting small signs? I've found them online from companies that are clearly buying VHB, cutting, and reselling, but does anybody know of a company that manufactures pre-cut squares so I don't have to pay an arm and a leg (beyond the already...
  4. Suggestions Hand Painting Signs

    After reading/participating in a couple of threads and talking to the 1 Shot dudes at ISA, I've decided to give hand painting a try. Probably going to start with lettering and go from there. Anybody have any resources or suggestions on where to start the self education? I've found a few sites...
  5. Opinion Boss Laser

    Anybody familiar with Boss Laser? We're looking at a new laser and they're well within our budget, but I'm not very familiar with them. They're not going to be at SGIA 2017 or ISA 2018, even though they're based out of Florida. If anyone has used or owns a Boss Laser, I'd be curious to hear...
  6. Opinion Any Opinions On Any Of These Laminators?

    Our Falcon F-60 has finally shed its mortal coil. More accurately, we paid someone to re-coat our rollers and they ruined them, but that's beside the point. For the cost of replacing the rollers we might as well just get a new laminator without all the bells and whistles that just does what we...
  7. Cutting Through Scrim?

    Having a heck of a time cutting through banner scrim on a Zund G3 3XL-1600 using a UCT with a Z10 blade. Anybody have any tricks or tips to get through the vinyl and the scrim in one pass? At this point, I'd even be okay with doing a second pass. It's not causing any big problems as the scrim...
  8. Anybody recognize this font?

    Any ideas? Drawing a blank.
  9. Mactac JX5529Pro 10 year vinyl bad prints??

    Has anyone else had any problems printing on this product? We use mactac almost exclusively and we are starting to have problems with the material. We have a Roland VP-540 solvent printer and a Mutoh VJ-2638 eco solvent printer, both have had the same problems. With dark colors that require...
  10. Humidifier recommendations?

    Well, it's that time of year again. Temperatures drop, humidity plummets, problems ensue. Right now we're having some serious static issues with pretty much every material we use. I've been burning up the generic humidifiers you get online at an alarming rate (two every few months). I'm now...
  11. Weird vinyl issue. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

    This was printed for a customer about three years ago. It was done on a Colorspan Gator to Mactac 5 year with a Mactac UV lustre laminate coating and mounted to dibond. Included a picture of the sign as it's supposed to look (not the same sign, however) and what it looks like now. Nobody around...
  12. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    Hello, friends! Back with a couple more questions for folks who may run or have experience running the Oce Arizona 660 GT or the EFI VUTEk H2000 Pro. We were initially looking at the Oce Arizona 480 GT, but after some consideration we're going with either the 660 GT or the VUTEk H2000 Pro. I'm...
  13. Oce Arizona 480GT

    Looking for some honest opinions from users of the 480GT. Hoping to get some feedback before we jump in with both feet. What kind of issues are we going to run into with it? What do you like about it and what's the worst part about it? Our main concern is reliability and consistency. Our current...
