  1. Avery Dennison failing over and over

    While I understand that the color material is probably unique to that manufacture, but on the printed material why not look at 3M, Orafol, or Hexis. Also there are several other dealers out there that might be able to help you, maybe even a local one. Reach out to BigfishDM, on the forum he's...
  2. New Guy Hello everyone! Installer from KS and now WI.

    Welcome. As far as recycling, I've heard that HP will recycle their paper backing. We also re-use our paper backing for shipping supplies. I ask about recycling when talking to reps when ever I get a chance. Usually told the same thing... 'We're looking into it'.
  3. Is there a good app for sign-makers workflow?

    We still have hand written work orders....
  4. Need Help HP Latex 560 Color Calibration

    So your using paper but in the machine your telling it it's PET film, and when you try to calibrate the paper as a PET film it fails but if you calibrate it as paper it's fine? So just keep it as paper and dial in your heat, passes, ink density, optimizer and vacuum setting and you should be...
  5. Need, Lower Rocker Panel Camo Wrap

    He has a very narrow area of knowledge.
  6. FC8600 Contour Cut Off

    So a few questions, What's your speed setting? How many rollers are you using and how much pressure on the rollers do you have? Is the plotter clean? Is the grip/feed roller filled with debris? What is the backing of the material your using (paper or plastic)?
  7. Promotion Ideas

    I think it might be a little to late for poor Cody Hadsall of Cody's Customs. We haven't heard from him in 8 years. It's rumored that he went beyond the great forest and lost his way back. On cold clear nights, if your real quite you can still hear the faint cry's "...I should have done more...
  8. Press Operators, how much do you pay them?

    Can you define the roll a little more?
  9. How do you dress at work? Uniforms?

    We actually have signs for that up here... but no 7-11's
  10. How do you dress at work? Uniforms?

    Sooooo, in the 1980's Secret Wars story line where many of the Marvel heroes and villains were transported to 'Battleworld' created by a cosmic entity known as The Beyonder. Durring one of these battles Spider-Man's costume was damaged. After being told there was alien machine in an laboratory...
  11. How does one transport large 60" graphics? Any bags out there?

    Yep. Also remember how much of a pain the cart will be if you have to encounter stairs or any other cramped spaces. While I know that driving in big city's is a pain in the ass it's probably going to be the best way to transport the material.
  12. How does one transport large 60" graphics? Any bags out there?

    generally explaining is the better... So use a cab, or a professional courrier. You talking about 4-5 rolls of 60" material there is no way your going to be able to carry that in a bag. That's several hundred lbs. If you hell bent on doing it the hard way look at getting one of those fordable...
  13. How does one transport large 60" graphics? Any bags out there?

    I know the answer to this... carefully. Your welcome. But seriously, just roll them up and put them in a box or tube.
  14. Need, Lower Rocker Panel Camo Wrap

    So it's been 7 years and now you have a good idea? That client is pissed. She waited so long, her husband left her, she lost her job, her children hate her and it's all your fault. Why couldn't you have just spoken up sooner. 7 years man, they waited 7 years!
  15. How do you dress at work? Uniforms?

    So living in Alaska, where I live (this morning it was 45 degrees) it never really gets that hot and never that long. I'm thinking something like this for year round would work out well. In the summer to cut down on the several weeks of straight of 24 hours of day light and than it would also...

  17. Any tricks for Cutting large format graphic edges by hand?

    So if you're overlap is 1/2" on either side that's only a 1/2" overlap not 1". A 1" overlap meant that you are using 1" of material to overlap 1" of material. Look at getting a better knife. Your not cutting a box, blades like this are awesome for the shop. Their flexible, blades are cheap...
