  1. Printer/Cutter vs. Stand-alone Cutter

    I have a roland print cut and a graphtec plotter. The difference in speed, quality of cut and registration for print/cut is obvious. If you have time a print/cut in one is fine, other than decreased cut quality. When you have both and both are running, you're having a good day.
  2. Round sign blank

    Try Georgia Printco. They just did 4-48" medallions for me direct printed.
  3. Roland Colorip

    Looks like you got around it. Was going to suggest plugging the old drive into the optical drive cable if you had one on the pc. Then sometimes you can download from it . That helped me once when a drive was doing it's best to roast. Got lucky.
  4. Best vinyl for university table decals?

    I agree with Gino. Take it from a former high school teacher, there is nothing short of paint that will give any kind of longevity on a school table top.
  5. Need Help 20x40 Fabric banner

    I use Georgia Printco in Valdosta Georgia for big stuff. Talk to James.
  6. Vinyl on outdoor benches

    We recently did changeovers and murals for many local schools when they changed the names to be "politically correct". We were doing reprints before all the schools were complete from little fingers. Between that and the salesman for contractor not knowing how to read a ruler we were pretty busy...
  7. Vinyl on outdoor benches

    Take it from an ex teacher. Kids can destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet. Nope, just nope, lol.
  8. Out of the keg...and right back in. Who woulda thunk?

    Local place has those in men's room with taps on top.
  9. I am so SICK of this problem!!! (lettering not sticking to painted walls)

    I have some oracal 651 on am legion wall. Been there for a few years now. Was post heated. Any more I just do murals on phototex or comparable product just to avoid the problem you are having.
  10. install new wrap over old?

    You guys are replying to a three year old post. I'm sure the job has been done by now, lol
  11. Accidentally wrapped truck in 3M 40C, would that hold?

    Bingo. That kind of ethic will ensure you a quality rep and longevity in business. Good call.
  12. Peel and Stick Decal Material

    Seeing as it on a high end vehicle and customer installed I would use a cast air egress with matching lam.
  13. What's a good cleaner for Coroplast (aside from alcohol) to remove fingerprints/oils?

    Had this for a bit. Cleans pretty well. Try that and white gloves.
  14. 80x100cm Heat Press, 220V Dryer Outlet Wiring?

    Kick down malfunctioned so machine just ran over the weekend until the pressure in the tank found a weak rusty spot and burst. Thing jumped up, threw pieces and rolled down the wall leaving orange strips every 3 or so feet as it rolled on the wall. Found wheels at other end of warehouse. It was...
  15. 80x100cm Heat Press, 220V Dryer Outlet Wiring?

    Small compressors can indeed explode. I've had one do it.
  16. Self Healing Table Top

    I have thirty year old galvanized pans for work table tops. Magnets work on them and they are as good as 30 years ago. You go through x-acto blades but that's why there is 100 of them in a box.
  17. 80x100cm Heat Press, 220V Dryer Outlet Wiring?

    Biggest cause of compressor disasters is from lack of maintenance, like never draining water from tank causing rust and weak spots. Never leave it on when no one is around. Had a kick down fail overnight on one in warehouse years ago. It ran until tank failure in middle of night. Heck of a mess...
  18. Need Help Advice on printer

    Haven't used latex or uv personally but know those who have. If precision is key latex doesn't seem to be quite there and are power hogs from what I have seen. Dealing with hp can be a pita also. I just purchased a printer using eco sol inkset and I am impressed with how quick vinyl can be die...
  19. Year end purchase

    For me in the sign shop I would get a nice laser just to play. I'm getting close to retiring and play toys are in, lol. I did just purchase a small print/cutter that I installed this week for myself and one customer whose jobs are every week but too small to send out. It was just killing labor...
  20. Labels for bottles

    I own a sign shop and a distillery. I send my labels out for printing for normal bottling runs. For small specialty stuff I print my own on a desktop as my labels are basically brown paper and black print.
