Are you SURE SURE that the cable itself or what you're plugging it into (surge protector) is not bad?

Hey Adam, good to see you on here. Just saw you again the other day here at Crux.

Got my fresh new computer up and running, got all of my programs settled in. Today I went to create some artwork in Illustrator using Pantone spot colors. The libraries are gone/replaced. Read up on the issue between the software companies, looked at the subscription based plugin. Only see bad...

Sent you a PM.

Freightliner Custom Chassis "Bus" Template. Year unknown, 10% scale.

Looking to find/purchase this clipart. (in Vector version) Can't seem to locate the source to buy it, but it looks to be part of a collection somewhere as I've found it and similar all over in low res versions.

Our solvent printers here are all Epson S60600 printers. You "can" laminate pretty soon after the prints finish, especially lighter colors, but we don't take any chances with failure here. Rich blacks and blues are the worst for solvent prints, and it seems that is most of what we print. We want...

They're going to off-gas either way. We have a pretty big shop here. The printer room has a special air scrubber built into it as the fumes are worst in there.

Either Grimco or Fellers, it is a rolling floor rack with the casters removed.

It is just a standard cheapo box fan at the bottom. Our first box was built around 9 years ago and the fan on it is still going strong, lol. I thought it would have died years ago. We have acrylic behind the cutouts in the door; got to get a good seal around all sides so that the flow of air...

The fan is pulling air down through the rolls and blowing it out at the bottom so not putting any more dust onto the prints than is floating around already. Customers are getting more and more pushy with turnaround times and even with multiple printers running all day long we're still overbooked...

Printing too much for the old box so had to add another to keep up with the flow around here. Made this one to comfortably hold 16 rolls if necessary. It REALLY pulls the air through, way better than the old one. Not 100% finished yet, but it's in operation. (we are adding lettering below the...

Wanted to share an unbelievable before and after from yesterday. Topaz definitely saved the day on this image. Original image provided was 159 pixels x 158 pixels... made into a useable image!!! I don't know how it does it, but it does it.

"Printable" Magnetic rolls always seem to have a real cheap coating on them for printing, which leads to printing defects and bad image quality. We switched all of our magnets over to be printed & laminated with regular materials, then mount that to the magnets and cut them down. We also now cut...

Tunneling issues with Phototex (in my experience) come from one of two things: ALWAYS keep your rolls rolled up tight, put tape/velcro/etc around your partial rolls and keep them tight until you're ready to load/print them. The other issue is too high of humidity in your shop, you have to keep...

Personally, I like the 3M IJ680CR-10 over the 780 version. Last time we used 780 we had a lot of edge lifting over time, so we just went back to 680 and don't have issues. I wouldn't want to wrap bumpers with it, but otherwise I think it would work.

Signtline answered the questions about feeding above in his post, but I wanted to answer your other question about masking unweeded vinyl. We do a decent amount of striping/pinstriping here since we have our own slitter. You want striping masked for installation so that it doesn't stretch as...

We apply transfer tape to full rolls with a basic GFP laminator. We feed a 12' tables worth out onto a table, then cut it off, then repeat (stack) until the roll is complete. Then we cut it down into individual decals. Sometimes if it isn't a full roll of the same thing, we just cut the tables...

Manually clean your caps again, might just be a very slightly dirty cap.

No issues here with our Epson printers, but after having the S70 series printers with white/silver ink we went with S60600 printers since they're faster and we only used the white ink like once a year.
