Coroplast ones are easy to make - what are you using them for? Real estate people use cheap Coro.. you could probably buy the backlit ones as well if you want fancier ones.

Yup. I go into it with the mindset that I learn on a cheap piece of equipment... then buy the "Professional" grade one after I make all my learning mistakes on the cheap equipment. I say that...but then my Omtech turned out to be better than Trotec (For my needs). I've had to do mirror...

Can you control the air flow? We use the lowest psi for engraving, just enough to prevent any dust/smoke from getting into the laser

It's hard to tell in the video because it's so blurry... Only uploaded in 240p! Our rs will fit a regular roll of vinyl, just barely but it fits. We reached out and they were shocked it didn't hold a full roll of traffic reflective and Overlam.... Had to send them dimensions of the rolls and...

The take up reel on there looks like it wouldn't hold a full roll. On our new rs... When printing on reflective, we can't do a full roll because about 130ft in the rolls too big and starts hitting the outeed table, that one looks smaller... Unless it's just the angle. Looks good though -...

We have one on our new Royal sovereign at work... Not only is it 4x faster (less than 5 mins to laminate a full roll) it has 4 cutters on it.... And I have to say they're awesome. They use a proprietary blade that costs like $20.... And the mechanism to engage / disengage also sucks, you have...

We bought a used flatbed, we ran one city over, 45 minute drive. It's Not bad... Didn't even drain the ink lines, our machine had supports that you bolted in that kept the Gantry stable, we threw a tarp over it forklifted onto a flat deck and then forklifted it off in our location. It was scary...

We use a multicam - It does aluminum great, and print and cut aluminum. We replaced our mister with air cooling and we still cut 20-30 5x10 sheets of aluminum a day, havent noticed more wear and tear on the bit... buying pre-etched aluminum speeds it up a lot. We do lots of print and cut on...

Some people cut vinyl on their laser.... some don't. At the very least, you're putting more wear and tear on your machine that you don't have to.... so why do it? Theres a lot of PVC vinyls out there that are pretty cheap - I use avery 3901 For cheap coro signs, lasers fine... doesnt rust my...

For what its worth, my printhead is in perfect condition - I dont print 8 hours a day on it, but I've done probably 200+ rolls. Where as on my Latex machine I was swapping out every 1-2 months with my usage, my Epson is still going strong without 1 missed nozzle - saying that... I dont know...

Haha... How are you liking the Epson? I've always heard it's better to buy 3 19k printers than 1 60k printer if they're the same machine.... Faster print time, less cost, if one goes down you have 2 others and your production isn't halted.... Easy to color correct so they're all 3 the same...

Transfer tape is fine - vinyl is not. You're not supposed to laser vinyl because of the PVC in it, it releases chlorine gas - the glue is perfectly fine, and transfer tape is paper so you're ok. Id stay away from the clear transfer tape just because I'm not sure if it has PVC... But your...

Grey will be fine. So the road signs you see .. those are all printed. You get just as much reflectivity as the colored stock almost, except for black of course. We've done thousands of police cars, all are printed and work fine.

But a color muse for $50, can the paint color, and use those values for your print. You will have to tweak it a bit once you get the base values since your printer probably isn't calibrated perfectly, and greys are always the hardest to hit nicely .. but with a cheap color scanner you can get...

Ive been tipped a few times... Not at my "job job" but my side install gigs, customer will give a $250 on a $230 install and just say keep the change. At my official company everything is paid through the office - I imagine we'd get more tips if we were collecting payment though.

rover stopped doing "free" shipping to Canada on certain items... No more all inclusive stuff, and their shipping is insane. That pretty much leaves sinalite in Canada ...

I do the opposite. At least once a year I buy the techs that work on our printers pizza, sales reps from the few bigger places we buy free lunch somewhere, etc. The owner used to question it saying they should be the ones buying us stuff.... I can't count how many times they drop by to look at...

I always hated when employers didn't give cost of living, even to a shitty employee.... If they're so bad they deserve a downrank in pay, they should be fired. We typically will do cost of living and use that as their "warning", if they don't improve... Then we know not even money as a...

If you don't match what the current inflation rate is... Your employee is getting a demotion. Inflation is 3.5% in USA I believe? So at least a 3.5% raise unless its a shitty employee.... That's just to break them even. Then you throw another few percent for their actual raise. For...
