  2. Nasty smell from printer

    Are u sure a rodent hasn't died in between a wall or false ceiling somewhere? That happened at our shop and it took some time to figure out. I doubt it's materials as you wouldn't have it on two different brands. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Lamination Issues

    Use swifter dusters on the print as you are feeding the print through the laminator. However cleaning the shop weekly is a must. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not so rare we went through 2 Tru Vis printers for the same reasons they couldn't figure out multiple error messages. We went to a XR 640 Pro 4 and it's been great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. More on Trademark/Copyright

    It's a NO NO without written permission from the image / logo owner. Then you still have to verify the person giving you permission is legit. Money doesn't matter as that transaction is very difficult to prove. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Affordable exterior wall mounted sign substrate around 1/8" to 3/16" thickness.

    A little bit but worth to not have issues in the harsh climate. When I explain this to my customers they usually don't mind paying a little extra for the quality and longevity. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Affordable exterior wall mounted sign substrate around 1/8" to 3/16" thickness.

    Should last 6mos if 1/8" thick wall mounted. If using Max Metal you will definitely want to spray the edge as the salt air will start to corrode the aluminum edges quickly. I live in south Florida and have the same issue here. Solid aluminum blanks would be a better option. Street sign grade...
