  1. What to use?

    We drill in the mortor, place eye hooks. and use bunge cords when installing banners that they dont want holes in the building. It's a much cleaner look and easy to fill.
  2. Value In Unused Cyrious software?

    We bought the software a few years ago never really got it going. Too many people had to lean it. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a resell value?
  3. CJV30-160 Cutting Twice

    I have a CJV30-160 ripped by Onyx and using finecut plugin to cut plots through illustrator. When I send it down my cut lines are cut twice. It used to happen every once in a while now it's happening all the time. Has anyone else had this problem?
  4. Why do I Think this Is A Scam

  6. Lettering Tracks

    I use Wagner Zip letter in melrose park illinois. Their catalog if very good to giving you the measurements for the tracks which are all different (Top, Mutual and Bottom) and the space required between them for the do-it-yourselfer. If you don't order from them their book is a must for your...

    I love my Mamaki. If you have the time to wait there is usually great deals around the ISA shows.
  8. 3M-Laminate 8518 3yr durability??????

    I personally swear by 3m with matching overlam. If you are nervous doesn't oracle have something where you can register your job and print your warranty for that job? May help you sleep better at night. My biggest piece of advice is educate the customer and let him make the decision.
  9. printing on reflective

    Colors on the screen don't match what is printed. For red I use pms solid coated 186. The funny part is it looks more orange on the screen. If I were you I would get a PMS chart installed in whatever software you are using and print it on a few different vinyls.
  10. MDO vs. Flatbed

    Make sure you cover the entire vacuum area with something smaller (in thickness ). If you leave parts of the vacuum table open it will not be as effective. I would also store the material flat on a rack it you stock it. Me personally I switched over to maxmetal it comes in 1/8'' and 1/4''.
  11. fire truck reflective

    I had a bad experience printing on Nikilite. You get what you pay for. 3m ij680 is God's gift to the vinyl installer. I would never use anything else.
  12. Material ideas?

    How about a banner with the nice ackland media frame.
  13. Packaging Multi-Color

    If you have to use two colors include the middle in black and give them red with clear premask so they have an eaiser time installing them selves.
  14. One of Wednesday's projects - police tahoe

    There is no reason to hate reflective any more. 3m's IJ680 with compy is God's gift to the vinyl installer. I recently did a tahoe for a local fire department. After I pulled it out of our shop to take pictures I noticed the malteese cross was a little off. Now I already squeegee the material...
