  1. Help! So confused. Need recommendation for CNC Router / Table

  2. Help! So confused. Need recommendation for CNC Router / Table

    You can get a router, probably a shopbot, in your price range, but it won't be near as efficient in a high production environment. Your other option is to buy used. I have no experience with a shopbot, but it may be a perfect fit for you. I don't know you, your business, or your area so I can't...
  3. Help! So confused. Need recommendation for CNC Router / Table

    Been a while since I ran a router, but the beefier router the better the cuts, the faster you can run, and the longer your bits will last. Get the beefiest router you can and you will save time and money in the long run. I used a couple of Multicam routers the 3000 being the last and latest...
  4. Need Help Has anyone else seen this before?

    The missing vinyl on the bottom of the door is due to the driver banging his feet every time he gets in and out. You can ignore that, but the laminate failure is disturbing.
  5. Need Help Ice damage on new graphics - how to stop from happening again

    There are specific types of vinyl for stainless steel, but I'm not sure that is your problem. The vinyl made for stainless has a different adhesive that doesn't react with the stainless and is easier to remove 5 years down the road (what I have heard, do your own research.)...
  6. Is There Anyone Currently Using GraphTec 3100-120?

    Not familiar with the sign cut software Mine shows up under COM 1 - 4. It depends on which USB slot you plug it in. COM settings: Baud rate 9600 Parity N Data bits 8 Stop bits 1 Flow control Hardware

  8. Is There Anyone Currently Using GraphTec 3100-120?

    I run mine with a Signlab cut only version with the cables mentioned. Seemed easier than finding and installing an old serial port. The Keyspan USB to Serial Adapter DB9 (f) to DB25 (m) NULL Serial Cable
  9. Best Computer for designing??

  10. Need Help What do you use instead of this?

    For small jobs, we would put 1/2 3M 4941 VHB on some liner and cut it into thin strips. 4941 is easy to transfer from the liner, it is thin but still conforms to slight texture and has a paper liner so it is easier to remove. I can't stand the big box store VHB with the red plastic liner. PITA...
  11. Best Computer for designing??

    Also, CPU speed is more important than the number of cores for what we do. Graphic design doesn't rely heavily on the graphics card either so don't spend a ton unless you want to play games on it. In my opinion, a good big monitor, and if you don't have a spare, a cheap second monitor will...
  12. Suggestions how do I remove old cracked vinyl wrap

    It appears that the Decal Removal Expert is the direct source since he built the rig my friend uses and my understanding from him is that it saves an incredible amount of removal time. Apparently, my statement about removal times on 53' trailers taking hours wasn't an accurate translation. Even...
  13. Suggestions how do I remove old cracked vinyl wrap

    I know guys that have high-pressure steam rigs purpose-built for removing old cracked liquid laminated graphics. They are set up to do large trailer fleets. My understanding is that they remove 53' trailers in hours with it. I would hate to be the guy that had to pic up all the vinyl pieces...
  14. Die cutting graphics with application tape applied

    We always outsourced large quantities like this unless we weren't busy. I always give the company buying the decals pricing above and below their range requested (10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500). It's like a force multiplier and they can often save money. You get to do fun projects that are more...
  15. Looking for CHEAP printable vinyl

    I agree with many of the "cheap cost more in the long run" Short term projects are the only time you look for cheap materials. I have seen where companies have used good vinyl and cheap lamination and the lam shrinks back and every other combination of cheap. Unless you have used it before and...
  16. What cause this on perforated laminate

    Or they are using the rear windshield wiper? The laminate gets really brittle when it gets below freezing and anything like an ice scraper, car wash, or wipers will damage those holes. Manufactures will give a 2-year max warranty on top of the line perf, but a typical warranty is a year...
  17. Window Perf Lines

    Does it look like that off of the liner? The way it collects in the holes might have something to do with the look, but I doubt it.

  19. Need Help This please

    Might have to hand trace it, the two "r" are different, but one could have been stretched. I got nothing with Find my Font.
  20. Need Help Blemishes in Prints

    Just spitballing but; Does your media rest on 2 rolling bars in the back like a plotter, or do you have some type of media handler? To me, it looks like media contamination. Because you say it has happened with different types of media, I would start looking at your process and machine and see...
