  2. Q-Series Plotter Pens - Where can they be found

    I have any older model Graphtec Q-100 Vinyl Express Plotter. I called Sign Warehouse looking for some pens for it. They apparently no longer are available and have been replaced by a $125.00 pen holder and a $25.00 pen. The pen used to come in 5 packs. I am wondering if anyone know where I...

    Retired a couple of years ago. Sold most everything. Kept a Q-Series Graphtic Plotter. It is a Q-100. I've been going crazy in retirement so I set the plotter up in my garage and have decided to do just windows and small banners. I called sign warehouse looking for some pens for the...
  4. Fabric printing with XC-540

    You can print banners, but I've been wondering if it will print those flutter flags. Does that fabric come with a backing, or can it be applied to a backing so that it can be printed?
  5. How long after painting can vinyl be applied?

    I would wait a month. I have never had good luck with anything fresher than that. I just removed some vinyl from a vehicle that I letter shortly after it had been painted. Vinyl has been on it for two years. In many places the vinly pulled the paint right off with it. The customer is the...
  6. Huge corrugated plastic sign-need help with quote

    I didn't read anywhere in his post that he was considering coro. He said corragated. I've used corrigated V-3 before and retained it with an aluminum extrusion that is specifically made for v-3 corrigated plastic, but if you use V-3 you will have to cut plastic letters to attach to the panels...

  13. Mounting calendered vinyl

    I always have problems if I try to apply the print right after printing. The ink softens up the vinyl. Drying over night always does the trick. Sometimes if it is a rush job I'll use a heat gun, but I really don't like doing that.
  14. OT: Any K-9 behavorial speclialists on here?

    Get a puppy and let it grow into the situation. Your dog should remain the dominate dog in the house. Let you dog train it in how to behave. I got a dog from the rescue one time. Brought it home. It jump up on the couch and layed down. I went to get it off the couch and it growled at me...
  15. Using the eye dropper in flexi

    I design in Flexi Pro. I rip and print using VersaWorks. I print on a XP-540. Today I designed and printed some prints for magnetics. I used the eye dropper to carry the color from the logo to the fonts that I used in the design. I was using a really wierd color green from the Pantone...
