  1. Great one for a Friday afternoon before going home............................................................

    Wait till dad does the math on how much material's been wasted... Oops :oops:
  2. banners all types

    We do standard banners kinda regular, I have half a roll of mesh material that's so old it should be in the dumpster... That's how often we do those.
  3. head strike, what do i do now?

    been there, done that... When it just rubs material, as long as it didn't physically damage the heads (usually doesn't unless it hits something hard, you'd be able to inspect and see any actual damage) it jams ink back into the nozzles and blocks them. Clean & soak heads to dissolve the ink, a...
  4. How long have you been on here?

    Stalked for years, joined in 2014 till I retired at the end of 2017. No way to reclaim my old account, everything attached to it as far as passwords, email accounts to reset anything are long gone, so I re-joined again last year when I came back out of retirement. I guess I'm an oldie/ newbie...
  5. Thinking about adding a Wacom (or similar)

    I use an XP-Pen Pro drawing tablet, when I'm not using it for drawing it sits on a stand and stays connected as an extra monitor. When set as an extended display you can use the mouse with it just like any additional monitor, or just drag any program to it and use the pen when you want to draw...
  6. So this was a first ...

    What the heck is in those gummies, and how many did they eat before they did this?
  7. Need Help How to Clean Retro-Reflective Vinyl before printing

    T6500 isn't for use with solvent printers, it's designed to be screen printed.
  8. Happy Halloween everyone

    Town I live in is small, we live out on the edge of town, so we usually get none. I buy a big ol' bag of peanut butter cups just in case, guess they're all mine again ;)
  9. Fabric Awning Install on Corrugated Metal Bldg

    You could try foam sealing strips between the upper support and the siding. They're available for most standard profiles/ brands of steel siding & roofing, mainly used for sealing ridge caps. They're sealed in place with a butyl caulk or butyl adhesive strips. They look like this... Something to...
  10. Printing Translucent to keep the reflective.

    The only printers that have any issues like that are UV printers because the curing lamps can reflect back onto the print head and cure the ink on the head. Even with those it's more an issue with highly reflective materials like printing on mirrors and chrome surfaces, not reflective vinyls...
  11. US Cutter Plotters

    I don't use it, but this list of Flexi compatible cutters shows a ton of UScutter devices, don't know about 7.5 https://thinksai.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411556318356-Cutter-Compatibility-List
  12. US Cutter Plotters

    These are entry level, very basic. If you look at the specs, they don't even have the sensors to read registration marks for print/ cut.
  13. Just In Shoutout to Indriani Tia for a new world record!

    That's insane. Ignored...
  14. ISO 60in inexpensive bond paper with 3in core

    Big Systems is where we get it from. They have a decent selection of 60", and I think all but one flavor comes on a 3" core. They're out of the Milwaukee area, so not that far away from you, probably worth giving them a call...
  15. Small wrap shop ready to upgrade printer, advice

    Solvent is the way to go in my opinion, waiting for it to outgas is just something you calculate into your workflow. I agree with what White Haus said, the extra colors aren't always wort the sacrifice, while it'll give you a wider gamut, some fade extremely quick out in the sun. I ran Rolands...
  16. What to pay a Print shop manager?

    Don't know your situation, or the skill level of what you already have working for you, but why not put one of the two you have now in charge? That way you just have to negotiate a raise to go with the added responsibility, you can title it however you (or they) want, manager, foreman...
  17. Out of ink, is there a way to cut?

    Like desktop all-in-one printers, some you can't even scan documents to your computer without ink. They all find a way to get into your wallet :rolleyes:
  18. Royal Sovereign closes doors.

    I know they've been having financial issues for a while.
  19. Need a lighted sign box - where to start

    All fast highways for all but the last 30-ish miles. We're out in her area quite a bit, have a big install in progress about that far from her, gotta wait for the rest of the concrete to get dumped next week to finish. We do about a 200 mile radius.
  20. Need a lighted sign box - where to start

    +1 for everything JBurton said. Get multiple quotes, there's quite a range between places. Whenever we can, we get them complete, lettered, and ready to install. Then it's a pass it on, or hang it, and collect a check. The only pain for you will probably be when they deliver it if you don't have...
