  1. This is why you NEVER agree to do trademarked artwork...

    Back in the day doing stuff like this was considered free advertising, and companies loved it. You could do hand made / fan art, replicate most things to the dot.... And the companies saw it as good publicity. I've always wanted to buy a van and wrap it like the Scooby Doo mystery van...
  2. Customer Image Help

    Stealing from Disney is one thing, stealing from another print company is something else.... https://www.sinovinyl.com/install-show/kt007-customized-car-vinyl-wrap/ Buy them. It's custom artwork this company "Made up".... It's not something you're going to be able to find anywhere for free...
  3. Mutoh XPJ661UF - ADA sign printing

    As someone who does braille with a UV system... Braille is slow. The printers do 1 layer at a time, so to get the beads the right size it's doing dozens of passes. If just doing braille it's not too badmmm but adding tactile can make the signs take hours. IMO, a vision engraver is faster...
  4. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    The youtube Channel Time to make something is heavy into importing from China... looks like he's selling Summa blades on his website now. https://bulklaser.com/collections/all - Might be worth it to try a pack and compare to what you have since he's selling in singles, it's cheap. I wish...
  5. Chinese uv printer "Experience"

    I paid 4K for my printer with delivery / import charges, etc. I've ordered ink from them multiple times, and so far it's been the same ink. They say it's $20 a liter... but that has the caveat of it's $20 from china... if I buy from the US It's $50. So I buy 10-20 liters at a time, and the...
  6. Chinese uv printer "Experience"

    Support isn't bad.... They reply and help out even after months. The software is hacked together pirated Software, and you can't use main stream software like onyx. That and its a macguyvered printer using heads and boards from multiple printers / manufacturerd... So its not a solid built...
  7. Need Help Best Tools/ Equipment For Traffic Sign Fabrication/ Installation

    If you dig a lot of post holes.... Get an earth auger. You'll still need the post hole digger for when you hit a rock, but we purchased one for a job when we had to dig 50+ holes...it saved so much time and was worth the few hundred bucks and saved our backs. We got the cheap Ryobi one because...
  8. Transfer Tape Applicator

    [Edit] NM... You spelled it wrong in your link. https://corbellclamp.com/ Went to look because I was interested, and the website didn't work...so I checked... and it hasn't been registered yet even?
  9. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    Theres a lot of people who eyeball it and wont spend the extra 5 minutes to use a tape measure. You can tell by all the trucks you see with graphics slanted, drifting up / down, where on one side of the vehicle the graphics end 1" from the brake light...then 6" on the other side of the vehicle...
  10. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    225 would cover the install..... Probably 4-500 all in.
  11. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    I'd say even 1 hour is generous! Next time a letter vehicle comes into a shop, time it from the moment you start cleaning to the moment you start driving it out. I'm counting 3 pieces on the back, 2 on the sides. So that's 7 decals to measure and get straight. I'd probably be at an hour if...
  12. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    Well... The operator said he was having issues and had to tape up the second barcode... So I'm guessing it's not fixed. It worked in my limited trial run! Guess I'll play with it more on Friday.. Wish I got more machine time these days!
  13. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    That seemed to work. I lowered everything to the lowest.... the barcodes are really, really close to eachother, but summa seems to be smart and see that one is the back and one is the front, so it jumps to the front one when it gets to the actual barcode part. Thanks! We've been running the...
  14. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    Hmm.. I'm running default, but I guess changing it to less margin should theoretically work, assuming the F1612 stops past that margin. If I remember right, it was stopping right near the end of the cut and then just starting to read from there - you'd think it'd Stop and then "origin" past the...
  15. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    I figured I'd ask before I attempt a work around.... As this seems like something that shouldn't be happening. Right now we have onyx printing barcodes on front and back, that way it doesnt matter if we laminate or not. The F1612 will do the first barcode perfect... but then itll try to...
  16. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    second set of heavy duty blades
  17. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    The Tangential blade is the chinese one only, I dont have a non used summa one. For the 2 heavy duty blades... The image on the top with a slightly discolored look is the chinese blade - Bottom silverish one is the OG Summa. Funny enough the chinese one has a sharper point.... Now you cant...
  18. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    Yep, I'll try to get some this weekend. I have an original heavy duty blade then I will try to get some of as well for comparison. All of the other OEM blades are used, so it wouldn't be fair to compare to those. I will say I've cut a few rolls of vinyl with the tangential blade, and the...
  19. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    You're supposed to be a merchant member if you want to advertise merchant services. Its not fair to him, or other suppliers that they pay for the ability to do so..and others skirt the rules. Here... May as well open the doors for everyone...
  20. 3D Printed Dimensional Letters

    Have you used a modern 3d printer? The klipper firmware makes the prints pretty smooth... Its not as perfect as acyrlic, but if you're doing outdoor large letters, you won't notice it. Petg works great for outdoors. As does asa.... I don't know if its hold up to Texas sun, but both are...
