  1. HP FB750 and FB550 - What's new?

    Old thread but I thought I would add to it. I just installed a new FB 550 this past week. Yes the heads are installed right next to one another, as opposed to gaps between colors found on the FB500. The roll holder is not available without purchasing the roll to roll option but rolls can be...

    This is the punch in my kit: http://www.amazon.com/Roper-Whitney-No-Jr-Punch/dp/B0015YPB2C
  3. Spider Stakes--Problems

    Bringing back this old thread! Has this been worked out or are the Spider Stakes still having problems?
  4. drilling holes

    Drill faster (RPM) feed slower (how hard you push). If using a hand drill it might be a little harder to do than with a drill press. Also. if you drill a pilot hole make it very small or the drill bit will really want to act like a wood screw (cork screw) I use a punch... it cuts very cleanly!
  5. 3m wrap film took off paint...

    I don't know who typed months! But, I meant weeks!:Oops:! Some people laminate right after laying down heavy ink coverage and get away with it, some don't. It doesn't matter what you do, with a repaint if it isn't done correctly it will peel when you remove the vinyl no matter how long you wait.
  6. 3m wrap film took off paint...

    Depends where the fresh paint is at and how thick the body shop laid down the paint. Generally 2 to 6 months should be adequate. Hot dry climates allow outgassing faster than cold humid... Plus with a repaint you have no control over the combinations of prep work, primer, paint and clear coat...
  7. Interior Menu Boards, How do I Mount them?

    I recently did a bunch of snap frames that worked out real well, but I wonder if they might be a little complicated for cafeteria staff to figure out. You could also check out Visual Magnetics, very simple change out, might be cost prohibitive if changing to new panels frequently but not so...
  8. Material Failure or Damaged by customer?

    You already know it's BS. I fix any defect in my workmanship, not yours!
  9. Wypet vs WipeOut

    About a year ago I got a job for 60 dry erase boards, 4' X 6'. Used Wypet for the film and it seems to work great, customer has been happy so far and no complaints. The job was big enough to pay for a new laminator so I was learning on this job, talk about nervous! Over 360 feet of vinyl and...
  10. Roland VS 640 acts strange after print is done?

    After it finishes a print the printer inches out the vinyl for about 9-10 inches in very small increments like a sixteenth at a time. It has always inched out the vinyl a few inches so it can be cut off but this now seems excessive. Somebody probably was playing with settings somewhere and won't...
  11. Hows my time?

    Just curious, but do you usually use OraCal Lam over 3M vinyl? Doesn't that voids warranties...
  12. Grand format?

    Az sign Pro in which location? Thank you all I'll be turning this over to my estimator.
  13. Grand format?

    I need to produce a banner that's 15' X 15' Square. Does anybody know of a reliable source on or toward the west coast. I need pricing on 13 oz and 16 oz plus/minus blockout. hemmed and grommets. Thanks in advance for your help.
  14. What do you collect

    My first skateboard was a 2 X 4 with steel skate wheels. Damn we were cutting edge! :omg2:
  15. Sign companies raping other sign companies

    This thread is hilarious. Think about it: A "John" complaining about being Raped! :ROFLMAO:
