I am new to laminating. I just got a Royal Sovereign and we've done a few jobs but nothing bigger than 5-6 foot long. I have a big job coming up in which I need to laminate 40'. I am clueless as to how to keep it from skewing. In a print this size the print is at a $$$ value and time so the...

I guess we are not as perfect as you?

Anyone got a resource for good straight edge rulers for hand cutting prints? I use aluminum ones with a safety rail, but hoping to find a good one that is not aluminum. Do stainless steel rulers exist?

I create so much scrap with my printing. Sometimes long strips 15" x 15' and many other variations that I feel would go through the machine ok. However when I have tried it prompts me that it is not on a core. Anyone have any experience doing this. Especially for tests and other smaller prints...

I recently tried a trial version of ONYX. The trial could not find the printer and now my regular version of Flexi can not open port. What is this and how do I fix it. I am running Flexi basic off a PC into a HP 315. Please HELP I am on deadline and shut down till this gets resolved. None of...

I used Flexi Print for my HP 315. I got an order for 80 pics all different sizes and dimensions. Most average about 50-100MB. I put all of them in for a RIP, not happening. Then tried 40 and it hung on 98 for about 30min till I quit it. Then tried 10 and same thing: hung on 98%. Whats going...

Im trying to open multiple files in Flexi. Its a lot almost 2gigs spread over 82 photos. ITs not opening in Flexi, no progress bar, no nothing. Just blank screen..... Am I not doing something I should?

Thanks your right. Gonna answer your questions here: RIP is Flexi basic version I eyedropped from a sample I made in illustrator. THe file from the client was created in indesign As far as I know I replicated the process. The latter prints were made on a new roll of phototex and I did not...

yes not just broken, completely defective. Replaced everything and it still could not cut a cricle or fonts without notches. Then got a nice $1800 restocking fee and ship charge to return it. Summa people claimed it was the material. The material! Oracal 631. Told this to Oracal people at a...

SUMMA = SHIT not many people on here will agree, but my Summa was crap, could not even cut a clean circle. Its the most expensive plotter on the market too. Also SUMMA is located in WA so customer service is west coast time, and not very good. Most times I would get a kid. Graphtec all the...

I recently made and printed a file of color samples for a client. I went to print the color they chose eyedropping from the section they liked the most, and the color came out a shade darker. There was black text printed on the color but it seemed way off. A few things to note: The sample I...

I have several museum clients. THe last two shows they ordered printed lettering on phototext (which is 90% cheaper and faster to install than cut lettering which means less profit for me. I've noticed a lot of NYC museums going this route for some shows. ANyone else who does lettering...

I bought a shirt that was made with jetpro. It has the feel of a heat transfer, but WAYYYY more breathable than the latex materials I've tried. Anyone know of a really thin material like Jet pro for latex printing? d

Thanks! Just ordered some. CAn't believe I didn't think of good ole ULINE!

I need core plugs for spoiling my transfer tapes off its dispenser and for spoiling large prints off my take up reel rolls for trimming on table. I attached pic. Don’t mind paying but none of my distributors sell them. Nor can they sell me some.

Thanks this is super helpful. I have a HP latex and we have done prints on Chemica material and weeded it. It looks good, but it does not really bond well with the shirts. Sometimes it will peel off. I've set the heater to high and held it down longer. Is there any best practices you use to get...

I saw a company called Ghost Toner that allows you to use regular copy paper with dye sub inks but will only adhere to polyester clothing. Ideally I am looking for a process that will mimic silkscreen and not be a sticker like my latex printer can produce. I find decals to be unbreathable and...

Can someone explain the differences between dye sub and dye sub transfers? I am confused and looking to get into T-shirts but each one seems to be so limited that maybe it makes sense to get both printers? I like that dye sublimation can print right from regular paper, but you can only use...

Even if you win in court, the court does not enforce the payment. Take the sign back. If they need it they'll come crawling back

My graphtec has an option to punch cut, you have to set the blade so its cutting on the trough and not the cut strip and then set the type of punch you want. Not the best method because it requires a lot more work to punch them all out once its done. Rather than slit cut it. I can usually make...
