There is a setting to skip a mark if it's not recognized, I run that and it works well

Speaking of frosted film, I've started using matte laminate instead of frosted vinyl on some jobs that need a lower price point, and so far it looks great, allows a bit more light in, bust still looks similar to etchmark.

I agree to an extent, I have found I get a better closing rate if I use terms like "standard" or "typical" when quoting signs. People don't know shit about signs and they care even less, so if they think they are buying the "standard" sign they sleep better at night, everyone wants to be like...

Arlon SLX+ works well and is a bit less expensive than the others. Ive used AutoMark from General Formulations in the past on trailers without rivits and it works well, it has a higher initial tack than i would like though.

The 3M cores are too thin, they cause issues with our royal sovereign laminator, if we use them on the take up roll, the backer paper compresses them enough to prevent them from coming off the spindle. I have to make sure I use the thick arlon cores for that.

If you are ordering from overseas, keep in mind the electrical will at the very least need to be inspected, you may also run into issues with different electrical systems 50hz vs 60hz etc. Shipping is also a variable, if they ship by boat, expect a long wait time, and air freight would eat up...

I would imagine most people would setup a landing page for that particular campaign and direct the QR code to it, add a Google analytics tracker and you get an easy way to see all the metrics you could possibly want.

Yup, it can be a massive PITA for sure! We just made 24 gemini plaques that were shipped all over the country, sponsored by a huge national company, they were sent to the 24 largest cities in Canada to commemorate a partnership. They had to be in both languages and it was a squeeze to get...

I use the built in generator in CorelDraw, it works well for simple URL type codes, but I don't think it does some of the more advanced features like adding to contacts etc.

There is a coffee shop I like on my way to work, I barter with him, I never pay for coffee and he has me print out decals a few times a year for him and the occasional coroplast sign, it works well for both of us.

Spray it with some LA's totally awesome and give it a light buff with a cloth and rinse, it should remove the haze. Red is really hard to do, they usually come out pink and need to be cleaned, I'm guessing whoever did these forgot to do a few.

I agree with everyone else, air release vinyl weeds horribly, especially when that small. Redo them on regular vinyl, there is no reason to use air release vinyl on decals that small.

Does anyone else have font issues with corel? we have 4 pc's with corel 2018 installed, all our fonts are stored on our network drive that is accessible to all computers, I have pointed to the shared font directory in Corel Font manager but I still have issues with files created on 1 pc not...

WTF is a barndominium?

SpaceRex is awesome when it comes to synology, he has a video on every possible thing you can do with them and they are super easy to follow along with!

Our s80600 will do its self clean with the vinyl rollers up or down, it doesn't care. The only thing I'm unsure about after 6 years of ownership, is if it still cleans if I turn the power off using the front button, I'm too chickenshit to try, so I leave it on and it goes to sleep when needed lol.

I can't say I blame the printer manufacturers for locking out the service mode. It would be like selling someone a very complicated sign, and them insisting they will install it themselves, sure they might know what they're doing, but guaranteed you are going to get a call from the guy who...

What happens if there is a fire or flood? We had a fire 8 years ago, lost everything including our file server and the USB drive I used for backing up when I remembered, sitting beside the file server. Luckily we had cloud backups, I was able to re-download everything to a new pc in a day or 2...

honestly 600 GB is nothing, I would just back it all up, it would still be less than $5 / month

Yes we did, like you said it doesn't increase the transfer speed per say, but it allows 2 people to work off it without cutting the bandwidth in half, which is nice.
