  1. Spike Laser Measuring Tool and Sign Surveys

    We have one, it gets used for quotes occasionally but that's about it. Always have to double check before going ahead with the job. Also it doesn't work on glass very well or any surface that may deflect the laser. I dabbled with the cell phone apps but the cameras in phones can't properly...

  3. Best use for a laminator

    I just realized we have 4 laminators... And I'm tempted to put dough through one of the really hot ones to see if I get a cooked pita on the other side.
  4. Vinyl Posters Cold Weather Install on Windows

    We just used a calendared, believe it was Grimco's house brand.
  5. Vinyl Posters Cold Weather Install on Windows

    I did 7 windows about 48x60 with the Polar at just below 0, printed on latex and laminated. I didn't really have any issues with the stuff, no heat or application fluid.
  6. Does anyone here know where to get LOW tack application tape?

    I would consider SCPM3 as a medium tack, we use it as our go to premask. Grimco's house brand used to be really low tack, so much so that it caused us problems during install.
  7. Suggestions blank rolled label supplier in Canada

    Ahh I see, have you tried Veritiv? We used to get all our copier paper from them and by the looks of their website they have roll labels as well.
  8. Suggestions blank rolled label supplier in Canada

    PDS has blank label material, just not sure about precut. But might have what you're looking for. printfinishingequipment.ca Edit: They sell Afinia printers as well so I would guess they would have it.
  9. Need Help magnet material and hp

    My experience has been that it's better just to print vinyl and mount it. We used to direct print magnetic on our Roland all the time but the HP was hit and miss with it. Head strikes into the edge of magnetic material aren't pretty. I cut small magnets into strips and then chop the stacks on...

    In your settings under privacy there is this option:
  11. How to make creasing line with D60R Summa Plotter?

    Now I'm wondering if it would be doable with the rollerball pen attachment if you just removed all the ink and upped the pressure...
  12. Wifi Network Setup for SC545EX

    If you're just worried about the ethernet port on the Roland, wouldn't the easiest solution be a network line surge protector for like $30? Just a passthrough for your network cable with a ground and voltage suppressor built in.
  13. White on transparant for small labels

    We throw this kind of stuff on our OKI, normally used for heat transfers. I believe they have an under 5k option with white ink. Just run on ULine clear labels, bonus if you can find precut to the size you need.
  14. Anyone getting dented rolls from Oracal?

    No dents, but a roll of 3651 had black streaks going right down the middle of half the roll.
  15. how do I print opaque black background for backlit signs

    That would be a lot of steps. Easiest thing to do is to get a profile from the media locator and tune it to your material.
  16. how do I print opaque black background for backlit signs

    We run 20 pass, 260% ink density and make the black a rich black of 40 30 30 100.
  17. Introducing my scissors sharpening service. Special offer 10/21 thru 10/27/2020

    I spin them on my fingers like revolvers and try to do tricks
  18. Need Help Rectangles are bowed when cut.

    What printer are you using? I can see this happening if it's detecting a slight curve in the barcode across the front of the print and then compensating. Latex printers can have issues with straightness across the print. Could also be the reflective material. Our Summa has issues with marks on...
  19. Safety Speed Dustless Cutter will not cut ACM straight

    We have the same problem with our Excalibur when cutting aluminum. The amount of pressure causing it to twist as FireSprint mentioned. I found lubricating the wheels helps quite a bit. Also if someone is around, I'll have them lean onto the pressure bar as I cut it.
