  1. optically clear laminate

    This is exactly what we do, with paper backed/plastic backed/optically clear or any laminate. Never have an issue. As long as you know how to properly set the tension on your laminator, they should all behave the same.
  2. Buying A Sign Business

    How's everything going with the transition? Hope everything worked out well and you guys are moving things along.
  3. Question substrate for outside sign

    ACM, either 3mm or 6mm.
  4. Whats your experience with the Epson S80600 Printers?

    How many sqft printed on it?
  5. I Just Have To Vent

    I wouldn't be replacing anything for free. The customer ordered and approved a sign, you provided a sign. If you're really determined to make them happy (which sounds like they'll never be) offer to take the signs back and mount prints to the backside at cost. Do you have a laminator...
  6. Onyx 22 / Thrive wont auto rotate when nesting?

    Well that's disappointing to hear. My Advantage subscription runs out next week and I was planning on upgrading. ONYXtechtips if we upgrade to v24 and then our Advantage subscription runs out, can we still go back to v22?
  7. what in the actual hell!.....

    That shit pisses me off. I'd probably be inclined to go do survey and fudge all the numbers, make everything 6" short and see how they like it when some other sucker gets on site to install the wrong signs.
  8. Whats your experience with the Epson S80600 Printers?

    Have had a S60600 for just over a year and not a single problem yet, knock on wood. Also curious what your mileage is, that will make things a bit more understandable.
  9. I Just Have To Vent

    For problem #2 - did the customer pay for the sign already? If so, let them walk. Customers don't get to dictate/dispute how signs are made after the fact and after they signed off on jobs.
  10. what in the actual hell!.....

    Ha. Hard pass for a one off.
  11. Anyone on here do this?

    Ha, good catch! It's a 2021.
  12. Anyone on here do this?

    My lease is up on my 2018 Lariat (gas) in the spring and I'm seriously considering giving a Lightning a shot, but we'll see what the rates are by then. My buyout is pretty attractive so I may just go that route.
  13. Question Shop humidity for Eco Solve printers

    Roland's website states this: During operation: Temperature: 20 to 32°C (68 to 89.6°F), humidity: 35 to 80%RH (no condensation) Up to 80% seems crazy.....personally I find as close to 50% humidity as possible is best. If your vinyl is getting wavy, high humidity will likely be the cause...
  14. Discussion Help with pricing

    Hopefully you put more effort into your estimating than you do in your posts. Saying "3M brand print" is just about as vague and lazy as it gets. Figure out whatever materials you're thinking of using, then multiply by your markup (2.5 here) then factor in all your overhead and labor etc...
  15. Best option for printing onto aluminum blanks in scale?

  16. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    To determine for sure if the vehicle has been coated. As far as I know there are no vinyls designed to stick to ceramic coatings. By nature they are designed to prevent anything from sticking to them. Then again I'm no ceramic coating expert.... :peace!:
  17. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    I suspect this is only going to become a bigger problem for us, kind of like the introduction of all the additives in wall paints. Does 3M or anyone make a ceramic coating test kit for vehicles yet? Other than watching decals fail, is there any other method of testing with any certainty if a...
  18. Enquiry of types of foam board:

    I'd probably put these all the same category: Compressed foam board Foam board (Foamex) Paper foam board Gator board This is a different animal: Falcon board https://lairdplastics.com/test/falconboard/ They are not all the same thing, just different variations of a similar thing, in the sense...
  19. Need Help Abrasion, or is this vinyl failing? (3M 180/8519 on a boat)

    That's 100% dock rash if I've ever seen it. Is he claiming those scuff marks on the gel coat are just a coincidence?
  20. be prepared for Ai generated artwork

    Thankfully (and shockingly) the ability to generate vector text still hasn't caught up yet. Easy to spot AI garbage when it's riddled with mistakes and words that don't make sense. I'm surprised that the combination of digital art AI and something like text generating AI like ChatGPT haven't...
