Hey folks, I have a customer who wants to put a graphic on the sides of a big trailer but the trailer is old and the paint is oxidized and also has very odd rivets and panels so putting vinyl on it is going to be a total nightmare. i have seen the systems where a frame is attached to the...

I need of a technician to work on a SP540. The dealer we bought it from 5 years ago is no longer a dealer :( anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue with my 540. Did you do the head replacement yourself or have a tech do it?

They've recently come out with a 62" model. I haven't found anyone who's used any of their cutters to get any feedback. I know they make good products, we love our printer, but I'd hate to buy one without some firsthand experience.

Thank all you guys for the great input. Pretty much where it stands right now is trying to make a decision about the "reading reg marks problem" with the graphtec, the "no Ethernet connection" problem with the summa, and last but not least the "what size should i get" problem in general. Of...

Hey folks, my 6 year old Sign Warehouse brand vinyl cutter is on the verge of dying so I need to get a new one pretty soon. I haven't kept up with who's making what these days so I was hoping someone could fill me in as to what brands and models would work well for light-medium work load of...

well I'm running the same materials I've always run at the same temps I've always used so i didn't think i would suddenly need to go adjusting them.

Recently (couple weeks ago) started having issues with paper and vinyl tunneling on our Roland 540-v, Banner material did it to but very slightly. anyways, i figured it was a vacuum issue so took it apart and cleaned out all the vacuum holes and the fans which were really clogged up with lint...

Ok so i've installed virtual PC and WindowsXP and the few updates that go along with it. Those install and run just fine. The virtual XP machine was created and i can access it just like anything else. But when i try to install LXi on there it locks up. it goes through the first progress bar...

I am using version 7.5 Master. I would much rather not have to upgrade at this point if I can get away with it. RebeckaR i'll be sending you a PM to get some more information on installing with virtual xp. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone. I know this is highly unlikely but i figured i would ask anyways. Does anyone use Vinyl Express LXi vinyl cutting software? and more importantly, use it with a 64-bit version of windows. We've been using it for several years and it's worked great for our needs but i just recently...

believe i or not i have a customer who wants to wrap her 95 Lasabre. Obviously i could not find a template for it. Unfortunately i don't know what other similar cars to search for in order to get an idea on square footage. If we do the job then of course i'll be measuring her car but she just...

To laminate both sides of a poster (or encapsulate it) yes you will need hot laminate. cold laminate is mostly applied to vinyls and other materials where the back does not need any lamination. pressure-sensitive is the same as cold laminate.

Hey folks, this is my first venture into routing so please excuse the noobness :) i have a customer who wants some figures (illustrations of athletes) printed and contour cut on something rigid like sintra, or even foamboard. is this something that can be done fairly easily? and what kind of...
