  1. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    It's not the laminator, the HP latex machines are notorious for this issue, as well as colours not matching from panel to panel, If i remember correctly there is some setting on the machine that helps to fix the issue you are having, but someone better versed in the Latex machines can chime in...
  2. Vinyl on PVC

    I was routing letters from the sheet, so I would need to primer the whole sheet. Plus I find the vinyl looks lumpy on top of primer 94.
  3. Nifty Tip - Save some $$ on patterns

    I understand what you are saying, but playing devils advocate for a minute, the shipping price based on $ value makes the shipping cost easy to figure out when you are pricing jobs with the book. We get a ton of plaques done by Gemini and there are times the shipping charge has been higher than...
  4. Question First $1,000,000 in sales?

    I would love this!
  5. Paint question for Dibond

    Zombie thread!
  6. Need Help ADA print not adhering to Formica solution?

    I think formica has some pretty heavy duty non stick properties to it, I wouldn't be surprised if you can't get ink to stick to it.
  7. Nifty Tip - Save some $$ on patterns

    Yeah same here, I thought the studs were placed/drilled by hand so there was no "file" to give
  8. Stop signs with louvers

    As someone who has never seen this before, can someone explain WTF the point of the louvers is? Do they think if you can't read the word stop, you won't know what the big red octagon is?
  9. Epson S40600 banding?

    I had that exact issue a few years ago on my s80600, epson replaced one of the print heads under warrantee and it worked great again. Now 3 years later it's starting to pop up again and I suspect the second print head is on its last legs. What I found will help is to run the "head maintenance"...
  10. UV & Eco solvent printer in the same room

    Imagine being so obsessed that you turn every single topic of discussion political, man that would suck!
  11. UV LED Printing ADA signs

    I agree, we do quite a bit of interior ADA signs with our laser and raster braille setup, I've seen the small UV printers doing braille/tactile and it is a very slow process, if you had an order for 500 signs to produce with a small Roland UV printer you would drive yourself nuts! However the...
  12. Well, it's finally happening...

    That would be high for my area, we would be around $1800 for the 2 sides and back, plus design. We wouldn't remove the screws either, just go over them. If you want to learn, this would be a good job to hire an installer on and shadow him and see how he does it.
  13. Question Epson s80600 issue

    Yeah whoever told you that you can turn the machine off for months without issue should be fired, that's horrible advice. The print heads are really no different than the solvent heads in your roland or mimaki machines, still fragile enough to take good care of, and at $3000 each you want them...
  14. Having trouble getting Oracal opaque vinyl

    Oracal built a huge warehouse in Canada about 20 minutes from my shop, not sure why exactly, they don't have anything in it, every time I call they need to bring it in from the USA, as far as I can tell their inventory consists of 10000 rolls of 3651 and 2 rolls of 651 Tomato red, everything...
  15. Floating Acrylic Panels

    The easiest would be standard stand off caps, yes you can see them from the front but they look very high end. another option would be mounting something like PVC to the back and having that work as your float.
  16. Does this ever happen to you?

    I had an install last month, Had to install on a saturday, client wasn't on site, but I had a drawing with measurements so I went ahead and installed the window graphics. It looked great. I got an email from the client on Sunday morning "I like the window graphics, but there are a few things...
  17. WHERE TO BUY EPSON ULTRACHROME GS3 IN USA

    Epson sets the price, just like Apple does for their products. I have 1 dealer here who is about $6 less per cartridge then everyone else, and that is the best they can do.
  18. Question for people who bid a lot of spec 10 signs.

    I used to do this, but I found I was spending hours quoting jobs for contractors that didn't have the job yet, just so they can quote the project as a whole. When the contractor got the job they are under no obligation to use you, they will put it out for tender again.
  19. Discussion How do you handle this type of deal?

    This is a great business for bartering! I needed a new furnace at home, the HVAC company just bought 2 new vans they needed lettered, shook hands and called it a deal.
