  4. Scaling Images

    For me personally? It's a rather simple process that allows me to be as accurate on my impositions as possible and help sell the project. If I do it well enough, I don't have to adjust my files other than bringing them up to 1:1 scale and prep for the various outputs. Also, I've seen where loose...
  5. Scaling Images

    So going back to your original request. I only do this for estimates as I won't do a full survey on a potential but just enough. With the picture used in the original post, and in Corel (Illustrator still doesn't show a % change for this method, Flexi does but I can remember where I finally...

  10. Question Colex/Opti-Scout - Setting depth for Oscillating Knife

    I figured it out. In the tool set up dialogue I changed the down depth to .02" and it left the backside alone. As for why? We are producing an exhibit for recycling build materials that is print and cut Eagle Cell. Each of the materials has a shelf to set an example on.
  11. Question Colex/Opti-Scout - Setting depth for Oscillating Knife

    We have a project that involves various cut depths into 1/2" EagleCell (honeycomb cardboard). Has anyone adjusted the depths in Optiscout?
  12. Window perf lifting in corners... solutions?

    Looking over your pictures, it looks more like a prep failure. The installers didn't clean the area well enough and basically applied to dirt. As water built up on the lower ledge + calendared vinyl returning to shape = failure. For the building sign..no clue other than didn't prep the aluminum...

  16. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    A couple of the shops I used to work for would buy it by the 100" x 150' roll and then fab a cart to be able to move and unroll it. Was always a dreaded day when we had to load a new roll lol.

    What is the primary revenue stream? %'s of Repeat accounts vs New accounts? How sustainable is the market for the shop? Age and condition of assets/equipment?
  18. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    Only time I've ever seen bubbles like this is when we used IJ180v3/8520 on SunRite Polycarbonate but it took only a few hours in the sun to develop. Our supply dealer went through it with 3M and the results we received that it was the polycarbonate. Even though we outgassed it, apparently...
