  1. FlexCut Weirdness

    Model: Summa D140R Software: FlexiSign Pro 12.x Issue: During FlexCut plotter cuts roughly 2/3rd of the job, stops then screen on plotter shows Panel 1. Otherwise FlexCut works well. 1) Size of job makes no difference. 10 pieces or 50 it does the exact same thing. A) FlexCut on or off at...
  2. Was wondering...

    As far as ROI being faster with grid tie I don't see it. A guy a few blocks away is "net zero". He gets a check for a whopping $100 from the utility every year. Sometimes nothing. I discussed it with him he said the only reason he grid tied is because he likes to go to Florida for a week or...
  3. Was wondering...

    Will is charging his Tesla using a rack with five or six 5kw batteries. IIRC the whole system is around $13K and that's before any state or federal tax incentives. Can't remember what system he uses for his shop and two homes. He even data mines with an off grid system. Like I said his...
  4. SAV graphics with laminate not adhering well.

    Was this on a vehicle? Was it air release vinyl? How well was the glass cleaned and with what product?
  5. Was wondering...

    Completely apolitical fact based post. Looking at the Ford Lightning as a shop truck and daily. Not likely to buy anytime soon though. Here's the way I see it. I buy an electric vehicle and get tax credits to offset the cost. I buy the components for a DIY solar power system/battery bank ala...
  6. Onyx 12.2 - applying image bleed and overlap, what is the correct order of procedure?

    YwH Onyx is trying to "help" but just adds confusion. On the beer trailer I enlarged the graphic by an inch all around then sent it to Flexi. There I just clicked even number of panels, 0.300" overlap both sides and that was it.
  7. Onyx 12.2 - applying image bleed and overlap, what is the correct order of procedure?

    Too much thinking. We just did a beer trailer and per the installers directions added 2" to the height/width then set equal panels in Flexi with 0.300" overlap both sides. Installer was standing over my shoulder as I asked how he would like it set up. Only think we would change is set the...
  8. Sometimes I just amaze myself, then sometimes the customers do.............................................

    Man in the store asks how much for the widget. Store owner says they're on special today. 25 cents a piece or 3 for a dollar.;)
  9. Used/Scrapped Composite Panels

    I also made table top gardens and used ACM for the sides. First two I made were from "upcycled" vinyl fence panels.
  10. Looking to buy a laminator

    363TH I had quoted was 6200 and change.
  11. Need Help Speckled printing?

    Something I just remembered. When my KC was on its way out if I needed to make a clean print I would run Unidirectional. If it clears up I would tend to agree with VanderJ, that the head is dying.
  12. Need Help Speckled printing?

    It's been a while since I owned a Roland so my memory of fixes may not be the best. Encoder strip could still be an issue. There may be wear spots on it. Easy fix by flipping it over. I did that with mine then ended up replacing it. Encoder reader board may be on its way out. Cheap and...
  13. Used/Scrapped Composite Panels

    I "upcycle" them to good clients, church groups or non-profits wanting a less expensive sign. Did that recently and the client was stoked.
  14. Looking to buy a laminator

    Lots of them out there. A short time ago I posted here looking for cheap laminator recommendations. Responses ran the gamut from cheap Chinese to Kala and AGL. Boils down to budget, AGL/Kala($13K and up), tolerance for DIY with the "off-shore" rigs, or something like the GFP series starting...
  15. Need Help Speckled printing?

    It's losing position. Start by cleaning the encoder strip.
  16. bus wrap design

    Ahhh, good point, but a slab sided vehicle is the perfect rig to start with. Can't overthink it, get your basic measurements and go to town. I did that for a class 8 truck where there was no existing template.
  17. bus wrap design

    Got to Dreamstime and look up religious photos, backgrounds or artwork. Grab something that looks good, add some lettering and Robert is your fathers brother.
  18. anyone have a truvis VG3 or versaUV LEC2 ?

    Yup, the old green and black rigs. Smelly buggers without the air filter. Interested to see what you end up with and how well it runs.
  19. Any of your Cities, Towns, or Villages on fire yet?

    To answer the OP's question: Our town isn't on fire and we have plenty of chicken.
  20. anyone have a truvis VG3 or versaUV LEC2 ?

    Don't know anything about Rolands second gen UV roll to roll printers, but the two gen 1's in the lab are no longer in the lab. When they ran they ran well but really slow. Maintenance issues too. Those printers wee geared more towards packaging prototypes not running large projects...
