    Age
  3. Printing Screen Positives

    That looks like either when I'm not paying attention and load a sheet of film in my desktop printer on the wrong side or too much ink. Maybe curing. If it is clean from the printhead and spreads and hasn't before I go along with maybe bad film. Interested to see what happens with another brand.
  4. Sharpie on laminate

    You would be amazed (or maybe not) at what rapid remover can do. Or even wd40. Maybe.
  5. Replacing a vacuum formed sign

    Have new pans poured and formed in white so you can letter the exterior surface. Or they can spend the extra bucks and have theirs done raised or back sprayed with design. Just had wholesalesignsuperstore.com (daniels) do two six foot circles for us back sprayed. They looked great.

  9. Cutting ACM

    First two tools I bought after plotter all those years ago were a table and panel saw. Been using them both regularly. You can get away with a tale saw as Gino said, just get a triple chip blade with as many teeth as you can. Usually around 80 teeth or so. To trim burs I remove protective sheet...

  14. Street pole banner disasters?

    Don't do it unless you get a written ok from manufacturer or else you will be on the hook when a good gust brings the pole down for replacement. Not to mention if it hits a car or person on the way down. Had just this happen over 20 years ago on a site that over 80 banners and mounts were...
  15. Has Anyone E V E R Gotten................................................................

    Wet sand it with 3000 grit and move to more coarse if needed. If that doesn't do it than it is deep in the paint. Design a cover or paint it. I have seen some serious wtf's on dump trucks around here the last few years. DOT man pulls them over and then they use whatever they have to mark it...

  17. How to make screen printed transfers?

    You need transfer paper and use a vacuum table. Print in reverse. Registration is of course critical for multi color as you will be printing, removing, then curing in between prints. Can be done with spray tac on hard surface, like a t-shirt platen on a press but a pita.

    Many moons ago omg sieko carts had trouble with magenta clogging nozzles. Had to do with the solids. I changed to nazdar carts and it magically cleared up. Ran nazdar inks til that sucker finally reached end of service life. Not saying that is what is happening but just sayin'.
