  1. Using all of the laminate

    Using a Big Squeegee I laminate short runs of labels.
  2. Lettering on Chrome Color Selection

    Colors on chrome or chrome lettering on anything work the same. Old sign guy taught me this decades ago. Chrome is like a mirror and mirrors only reflect dark not light. If you put dark on chrome it's going to disappear. Same as if you put chrome lettering on a black or dark vehicle...
  3. 1641SR reviews?

    :oops: Wow! Odd that there wouldn't be any media support from the major players.
  4. British Columbia is cut off from the mainland. Washington State Supplier Needed!

    Wow! Watched a video last night where all kinds of helicopters are flying food and supplies in to 250 people cut off from everything. Terrible that things like this happen.
  5. Roland VG2 640 vs XR640

    What about refurbishing what you have? Be in it for less than the cost of new and you won't have to learn a new printer. I bet that SolventInkjet guy could help ya out.;)
  6. Question Digital marketing a sign shop with no money?

    Basic website is it for marketing yet people manage to find me anyway.:big laugh:
  7. How to install large vinyl?

    For alignment with this type of install I add a full width rectangular line to the file(s). Prevents using the base of lettering to line things up. After you're done strip off the line.
  8. USDOT/WB truck numbers reversed?

    In Wisconsin if you're hauling solid waste or recyclables you also need a WDNR number. Everybody has to get their cut...
  9. USDOT/WB truck numbers reversed?

    Time for the driver to put the pipe down. I've lettered a lot of dump trucks and semis and did some not that long ago, wasn't told to reverse anything.
  10. 1641SR reviews?

    I have a 1624x but was considering a 1641. Sorry for any confusion. As far as being told 12 can't run a 1641 make sure. Lot's of people assume things without actually checking.
  11. 1641SR reviews?

    I bought an unlocked version of 12 with my printer and have been very happy with it. Truth be told if my Flexi 8.5 pro would have driven the Mutoh I would have used that. Not a fan of having the latest thing as it usually comes with a lot of issues.
  12. Wallpaper print

    Methinks this foray into the world of print will go poorly for the OP.
  13. ok I really want to know...

    In the past I've lettered yachts for famous people that I can't talk about. That whole gag order thingy. One was kinda weird though. Before I got to the job I was told to not make eye contact, get close to anyone onboard or initiate conversation. Just letter the transom and leave. Overall...
  14. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    This^^^^ and run Forrest run!!! In my area when you pull a permit you are responsible for the lifetime of that sign.
  15. Briteline Holographic Vinyl

    IIRC the "trick" method from a recent thread was to double cut not perf cut. S'posed to be simpler to set up. I don't know as I haven't tried it, but was thinking about it this morning after running a batch of labels.
  16. Opinion Looking for a.................................................................

    If it runs on kero it should run on ULSD(ultra low sulfur diesel) The heater I have is ancient and was supposed to be kero only but that got stupid expensive. About that time ULSD hit the market so I gave it a try and been running it ever since. YMMV.
  17. Opinion Looking for a.................................................................

    Get ya self one or two of these: https://spaceray.com/lts-series/ Can't go wrong. Sealed, explosion proof combustion which is important. I use mine to cure paint or "cook" vinyl onto vehicles/panels. I have two of the small units in the shop. Maintenance consists of taking the leaf blower to...
  18. Mini power outages on XR-640?

    Check the easy stuff first. Has any other equipment been having power related issues? If not then you can probably rule out the supply end of things. Just to be sure test the outlet with a multimeter to make sure it's supplying correct voltage. Get a plug in tester to make sure there are no...
  19. Customers Not Planning Ahead is Costing Me $$$

    BOOM!!! This right here^^^^^ On point!!! Gold star and whatever other accolades and kudos appropriate for this response. I decided a long while back I'm not going to chase every dollar or be rushed. I do things on my time line and if that isn't good enough then walk. Absolutely incredible...
