@crystalcoatgraphics we've been gearing up our CET running the wide gamut ink. this ink is highly solvent resistant. i've never seen anything like it. even MEK will not take it off. only NMP or stripper will bite it at all. we are going to just lay our wall wraps on the flatbed and print...

the secret is to have the material head very slightly down hill into the nip then exit very slightly uphill. this puts a mild reverse crown on the material. using this method, the sheet will be drawn through the printer (almost) without the pinch rollers down. straight through works, but not...

hey guys... yup. printed exclusively flat .040 aluminum, and veneer on my flatbed jv3 for about eight years straight. you'll need to build two air (air hockey style) tables with some guides and feather boards. it works quite well for 4x6... a bit iffy past that. i've printed as big as 5x10...

yawn.... sounds like a rep' just got fired to me. i got one better. how about an honest review of a real live limac that is sitting right in the middle of my new 33,000 SF building about to be plugged in. i don't care one way or the other if it's awesome or terrible. i'll just be completely...

you are coming off a bit harsh discussing a machine that you don't have any experience with. i'm about to get my limac powered up after the holidays are FINALLY OVER. we can all get a much better idea of what performance these machines can put out. and thankfully my operator has years of...

we've got the boxes dropped to the space that we are putting this router. i do have one complaint without it even being set up. the plenum has two spots that look as if it had a bit of expansion. so there is about an 1/8" buckle away from the frame work. we will screw it down, seal it, then...

oh no, it's true we are training on all this new equipment and i swear it seems that everyone "gets it" before me. i've just defaulted to not stopping to ask questions then ask my employees all the dumb questions later.

not too tech savvy, maybe coating savvy. we are getting the electricity to our limac cnc within the next five days (had to add about 400 more amps to our building so we've had some delays). still not sure what program we want to use for setting up files post corel. wonder if this limac...

i'd send a pic of what the broken yellow pattern looks like. that will tell a lot. after that, i'd start with a damper swap to see if you can port the issue to the cyan channel. but that would be after you've had the chance for the pattern photo to be critiqued.

easy to diagnose. if you are getting zero yellow on both the left and right damper at that head then i'd assume that it's not damper related due to the odds that both dampers would give you an issue at the same time. i'd first make sure that your cap is pulling at that yellow head. pull...

don't let them discourage you! a cnc is probably the easiest piece of equipment to learn to use. you'll screw up some parts going to fast, or your path will have something wrong with it. but cnc's are very linear machines. it's right or wrong... printing is another story... it's always...

CET is flying out to train me on an FK512 on dec 10. i might be able to convey what i learn about the voltage settings from that. but that's a while from now.

i've got a 12' x 4' x 126" pallet rack that i'm considering chopping in to thirds to make three 5' x 10.5" tables for the print room. seems there no cleaner or dryer place to store unboxed sheets than the print area. also, i saw this sweet set up on ebay (pic).

i don't have cs6 but doesn't it have the new "deblur". i recently had $8700 in cash stolen from my van as i drove between two banks. stopped for 3 minutes came back and it was gone. the police said that thieves were following people out of the banks. to make it not seem like such a...

here's a link to a great powder coating book...

agreed. kent at macmedia is brilliant and a great guy.

@rcook99 here's the thread. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84576 one of my main reasons to do this was scale. business is changing. more and more, things that used to be medium sized businesses are being shifted to massive operations. take service king (collision repair)...

the details are exhausting. discussing them is no different than doing a prenup for a marriage. so much money and or debt can hang on a single percentage point or phrase. it's going to be a shock to have so much room and so much equipment. i'm still as cheap as the come. tomorrow i'm taking...

the business model will be disclosed over the next few months to a year.

@mosh the two that i'm signing up with have been in a partnership since 1979 and their current business does over $8m a year. this model will feed into that model and have outside sales. plus the CFO also is an execution specialist and consults many large companies. and i've been working...
