  1. Ever seen an a frame/sandwich board like this from a supplier?

    shipping ends up being like a grand. Unless you're bringing in containers...buying off alibaba direct isnt worth it, I was selling hundreds of A frames and I worked it out that I'd save $3 a frame on an order of 100 frames buying direct...then I have to deal with quality issues and all the...
  2. Ever seen an a frame/sandwich board like this from a supplier?

    https://www.displaycanada.ca/products/swing-board-metal-a-frame-sb-board040-white there's a few places that sell similar. Displayscanada isn't really wholesale, so it's probably more expensive - check out futech / beston... They carry it and only deal with trade pricing, so they're probably...
  3. Suggestions Cutting .04 aluminum

    What bit are you using? And what CNC? With the right it the edges should be fine.... Our edges only get jagged or sharp if our bits dull, or if the aluminum isn't being held down right and vibrating.... Then it needs sanding. But generally, no, you don't need to sand aluminum down
  4. Printing A Color Swatch Table For Reference.

    So this is what we use. I dont remember when I generated it... I'm sure its missing some of the fancy pantones of the month crap. It's using a cutline called "Perf", so you may have to set that up in your onyx / if its not default. Or it'll print with the purple line, and you can just...
  5. Printing A Color Swatch Table For Reference.

    I'll post mine in a bit. I configured one to use 8.5 x 11 sheets with cut lines ... Then you can graphtec / summa out the 3 holes and page and put them in a binder. It's great for sales reps to bring when they have to color match something in the field and all our pantone books are gone
  6. Flatbed vs Roll, hot vs cold, too many options

    We get it all the time with reflective. On our rolls roller you can adjust the pressure, I'm assuming it's the same with the cwt... Lowering the pressure prevents marks for us
  7. External Monitor for HP Flatbed 500

    Dumb question. But when we ran the FB, we just had it setup to "hide" printed files, so only the non printed files showed up.... And after every print it's just hide the file that was just printed. isn't that a simpler option than trying to hook up a monitor? At least if you're just trying...
  8. Can Onyx save frequently used color corrections?

    If you want to use your.illustrator CMYK values.... In your quick settings under color profile turn it to off, and it won't change anything. If you want to change it so "Pantone blah blah" always changes to a CMYK value you specify ... it's possible, search my posts for print mode defined...
  9. Question static electricity on sheets of coro....

    We have a ton of static issues where we live... And our warehouse is huge so we were worried about humidifiers as well. Our flatbed was misting a lot, so we decided to try it. Bought something like this -...

  11. Estimate and Accounting Software

    Most people on here don't know how to setup a Nas / network / google how to build a PC / etc, dozens of easier things than to make a semi-complex program, even in python.... Programming comes easy for some people, and if you know C python seems like cake... but to the "average" person, making...
  12. trying to become better acquainted with illustrator, got a few questions

    I didn't read all the latest posts but the touch on this, In illustrator if you uncheck preserve illustrator editing capabilities when saving as a PDF it typically drops the size in half... At least for everything we do, I don't really care about size though since space is pretty much...
  13. trying to become better acquainted with illustrator, got a few questions

    To me, corral sounds much worse after reading it... Everything you seem to hate about illustrator, I see is a quality of life improvement. I would smash my computer if illustrator all of a sudden stopped using the same color I was using after every single object I created... That's why it is...
  14. Label Stock Suppliers for HP Indigo?

    I mean, if they're buying a $75,000 press as well as a laser set up for it they must be making pretty good money on their stickers.. so they're probably too cheap for you but pretty profitable for them!
  15. Something fun for the rock garden... (I'll bet your CNC can't do this)

    Looks awesome, definately not doable (at least not as nice) on a CNC.... Especially in 20 minutes. How hard is sandblasting to take.up? We have a few by the hour shops here that rent out their chambers... I've been wanting to go, but could never think of a project... I like your idea and some...
  16. Wholesale discount

    Tell him 10 sqft does not make him a wholesale customer, once he starts bringing in volume you can talk wholesale rates. 10 sqft is nothing.... Especially for a new customer. Tell him your pricing is based on volume, and it takes you xx minutes to run 10 sqft, and it'd take you the same xx...
  17. How to cut a circle on vinyl 50" in diameter

    I change my answer. . Goto signs365 and buy it from them, or fire sprint... Itll cost half the price you'd be spending and be done in half the time it'd take for you to setup all these contraptions :roflmao:
  18. Outgassing in 6 hours?

    You'll get people.who believe it's a myth, and people who don't. Its just beating a dead horse at this point. Personal I follow the manufacturer's recomendation, they're the ones who make millions off the machines and i don't understand why they'd tell you to offgass if you don't need to, they...
  19. How to cut a circle on vinyl 50" in diameter

    Are you having issues getting it to cut 50" because the printing software won't print 50" with cut marks ? If so... On our graphtec we can tell it where the marks are. You print it at the end and offset in the middle and it'll use those and you can print your circle 53" if you want to. All...
  20. Bleed?

    We usually do 1" bleed on bottom / right.... And cut top and left true. Then you install to top left flush, and cut away bottom / right.... You can have 20" bleed that way and it wouldn't be a harder install. We generally do 1" though, as our sales reps are the ones who measure and their...
