That's scary. Thanks for sharing!

It works great. I use it for 3mil and 6mil MaxMetal all the time. I replace the dye about every 5 years.

This is what I use.

I heard back from Grimco after giving them this same information. They came back to me, after speaking to their Mimaki Rep, and recommended the JV100-160. I would rather not have a 64" printer because I won't utilize the extra printing space and I would have to make room in my office as I...

I would suggest using Oracal 3164HT.

Hello all. I am looking for some suggestions on new equipment. I have been running my Mimaki JV33-130 for the last 11 years. I know this is getting old and I don't want to have a major breakdown and then not be able to get parts. I previously ran a Mimaki JV3 for 8 year prior to this current...

Not sure what others do but I've always cut it back. Vinyl doesn't stick to the sealant and I can see how it would fail over time and could cause bigger issues.

These are used in the woods as warning signs and have print on them such as "Permit Required for Access". I believe the size is about 11" x 17" but I'm having a...

"Arrange" tab at the top has these options for me. I am running 2021.5

I've used these and had good outcomes. https://www.myparkingsign.com/Sign-Posts/Impact-Resistant-Flexible-Signpost/SKU-K-2805 They are spendy but they work as intended.

I use Oralite 5600 and it does take extra time to weed but I don't remember ever seeing strings of glue. If my customers are asking for reflective lettering, I try to deter them saying that reflective lettering on its own isn't worth the extra cost, especially when it is smaller lettering. If...

Sometimes but not all the time. In my experience, if it is a simple sign on the small side, (less than 32 sq ft.) with no electrical components, the sign and code is barely looked at. They read through the paperwork and sign off on that without doing an actual inspection. This doesn't apply to...

Interesting.... My card was just stolen and I use Sinalite often.
