  1. Encapsulating Hot Lamination - Problems

    That story makes me want to cry...paint on the LR carpet. I often laminate 2 sheets of paper in my little laminator, you could try a smaller sheet and see what happens?
  2. Wonky Cuts on Brand New HP/Summa Plotter

    1. Tighten your blade. When I got mine the same thing happened. 2. Check to make sure your rollers are down firm on the vinyl. My center one likes to hover just above unless I nudge it down - took me a while to figure this one out LOL
  3. Printer Problems! Is something stuck?

    Oh...that would make sense. I just changed a print head. Geez...looks like I'm my own worst enemy this week! Thank you for your help!
  4. Encapsulating Hot Lamination - Problems

    I think you should create a light gray outline and paint them! I love the look of the brush stokes on the black. Can you back it with tag board to make it more stiff? Not sure if that would help the laminate wave or not.
  5. Printer Problems! Is something stuck?

    THANK YOU!!!! So, not sure what this is from...but this was hanging so I pulled it off. Could it be from the maintenance cartridge? Not sure but it seems to be printing fine now! I ran the printhead alignment, and so far so good!
  6. Printer Problems! Is something stuck?

    Well, I have a bad head so I changed it. It's still doing this where it prints fine then suddenly starts smearing. I also changed the maintenance cartridge as it was almost ready anyway. I'm guessing there is something caught under the cartridge, maybe a piece of paper or soemthing? I did't...
  7. Laminating Bubble Issue

    LMAO!!!! I guess you are right! So many smart guys on here, it's hard to keep you all straight! Well now I have something to Google! I would actually like something that I could put the roll of laminate on instead of cutting a piece all the time. Thanks - for your help for the second time on...
  8. Laminating Bubble Issue

    If you're talking about me, I'm a girl LOL But you are 100% right, less is more. I often wonder if I don't have some of the troubles others might have because I don't have any tension issues? The laminate and the vinyl go into the rollers at the same speed and tension. Sometimes I go slow and...
  9. Laminating Bubble Issue

    Notarealsign guy suggested the cold laminator I have. And I love it! As you can see, it's very caveman-ish. The little screws on top are barely screwed down - just barely enough for there to be pressure. If I have too much pressure then it starts OK but it ends up getting wavey which causes...
  10. Rant Customer Rant

    I have a newer customer who sounds like the same customer you have! They switched sign shops to me because the last one would just print what they sent. They are a cheese company and have a bunch of small labels they made into banners. The artwork consists of many smaller parts with multiple...
  11. Laminating Bubble Issue

    Are you sure the tension isn't too tight? Or maybe your roller has a bow in it?
  12. Looking for Reflective Vinyl Recommendation for Real Estate Signage

    Or if it's just a couple signs you could order the prints from FireSprint or Signs365. I order my printed reflective since I print very little of it. Hate to have a big roll sitting here.
  13. Suggestions Cutting .04 aluminum

    Ordered! Thanks for the link!
  14. How many people here recreate fonts?

    I send it all out to get vectored if it's more than a few minutes of work for me. Sitting at the computer is my least favorite thing to do.
  15. Late fee?

    OMG, that's hilarious!!! Sometimes a little mafia intimidation is all a person needs!
  16. Late fee?

    If you don't have anything in your contract/estimate then you just need to continue harassing them. Show up at the business, mail invoices, email, etc. Payment upon completion for every job just doesn't seem possible, or maybe I'm just too lazy to wait around for people. Like Tuesday, I had a...
  17. Need Help Has anyone ever approached their City Council to review and change a city ordinance for sign placement?

    I agree. I'm not sure what the benefit would be except "making money".
  18. Vinyl install toolbox

    What ever happened to the days of weed...now it's all meth and pills and stupid stuff.
  19. How to install laminated window perf vinyl on the storefront?

    I just received mine today! I'm so excited to use it, it seems very well made also
  20. Vinyl install toolbox

    I like this top option a lot! It certainly helps with the junkie issue...just don't leave the meth pipe on the job site!
