    On a side not, I agree that your time is worth something and $15 is not going to break the customers bank...but a $15.00 invoice costs at least that in typing up the invoice generating a printout / emailing the invoice, then waiting for payment...( with the posibility of having to call for...
  2. Recommendations for round cornering signs

    I have had one of these for over 20 years and it still works great. Can buy different size dies as well. I think it is probably the cheapest corner rounder you will find.
  3. Discussion How do you stay organized?

    I do the same and also run appointments through outlook to get the warning bells. I think the best strategy is to learn just how much you can do in a day and remember you always get those days when you just don't get as much done as you plan for a varied amount of reasons. I basically work...
  4. signlab 8 - cropping tool comes up as eye dropper and does not crop!!!

    I have had this happen before but have no idea why it is happening. I double click on a bitmap and normally the cropping tool comes on screen, but now it is an eyedropper and if I click on the cropping tool it is still an eye dropper and won't crop. Any ideas?
  5. What on earth vinyl does this? holy %$%$

    Yup I think your correct.... Next to reflective, that stuff has to be about the worst to remove.
  6. What on earth vinyl does this? holy %$%$

    The vinyl is definetely a 2ml product with a grey blockout adhesive. Must have been something the other shop who did it had hanging around as all other trucks re done this month only had a 2ml normal red. Vander....you need to remove the vinyl before applying rapid remover, which I have...
  7. What on earth vinyl does this? holy %$%$

    getting the glue off is not a problem...the vinyl has a grey adhesive and is near impossible to remove without any heat or steam. Steam seems better than heat gun as with the heat gun the vinyl gets all gummy mixed with the adhesive and just moves somewhere else on the truck. I have one side...
  8. What on earth vinyl does this? holy %$%$

    I have stripped off 5 trucks for this company so far and this is the last vehicle... None of them used this particular red vinyl. It is a 2ml but I also think it is one of those types with the white back. You can see that with me using a steamer and a plastic blade it leaves 100% of a grey...
  9. New Product Polar Poly Drytac Product

    I saw the eblast as well.... is it a calendered product?
  10. matching color from a photo

    I would say that the colour is actually made up of thousands of colours..grabbing one pixel won't work. I thought the same thing way back when my printer weas new and I never could get a bright rich red, and then I printed a photo and the colour was perfect...on closer examination you see that...
  11. Graphtec plotter making clackity clackity sounds

    Yesterday it was really loud and then suddenly it just stopped with a y axis error. I could feel the head getting stuck by just moving it with the power off. Not getting stuck in one particular spot but random spots. I opened both ends up and it was very clean inside. I manually moved the y...
  12. Graphtec plotter making clackity clackity sounds

    Just an update...still cuts great but the noise is super loud now. I tried opening the cover but once open there are still the connections to the controls on top that don't give you a lot of room to move around with fear of breaking the lines. Going to try again and see if I can isolate just...
  13. 3m, Avery, Techwrap, Vvivid charging for sample books

    I agree...I have never been dinged for colour charts.
  14. clear vinyl and overlam

    I have on occasions printed on lam. The backing paper is much thinner than most vinyls adding heat will cause buckling or even tunneling, depending on the brand. 2ml lam is great to print on I must admit.
  15. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    I use a much older flexi program, but have found that when I rip and print, anything grouped such as contour cuts will not get printed unless they are ungrouped. Strange but true
  16. Been using this for a long long time...........................

    I had it happen to white ford pickups...thankfully the new logos covered it. I thought it was caused possibly from the rubber nubs being worn down to much, but yours look pretty good and fairly new. I wonder if it is the clear coat burning
  17. Mimaki printer using more cyan from one cartridge then the other?

    I changed the other one 1 month ago and less than 1 month the time before and usually get 3 months out of them so it is taking from the one and not the other. I will switch out both Thanks for the advice I appreciate it
  18. Mimaki printer using more cyan from one cartridge then the other?

    Thanks, but my thinking was that you need 2 cartridges and can't just run 1..how is this possible? I just rocked it and it seems pretty empty . the printer says both are at 1 yet only indicates that one is near end and it isn't the one from May. I guess I could just put a new cartridge in when...
  19. Mimaki printer using more cyan from one cartridge then the other?

    I have a low ink warning and when I check the cartridge I just changed it last month, yet the other cyan has not been changed since may!!!! What the heck is going on here? Prints are great and it is a 10 year old jv3 130spII
