  1. Clear Anodized Aluminum Vs Aluminum

    Customer gives me a spec sheet for a township and they are requesting pole signs 2" x 12" that are strapped onto the light standards. The aluminum is covered with high intensity reflective and black numbers. My regular supplier does not have clear anodized 1/16 of an inch and asked why we...
  2. Jpg File Opens Different Sizes In 2 Different Softwares

    Everyday it seems something new seems to happen. received a print file from another sign shop and he had the sizes in his message. I import the file in Signlab and they come in about 1/3 the size. I told him, and he said that he received them from his client and when he opened them in Corel...
  3. Question Never Used This Before............................

    It works well, the only thing I dont like about using it is that the premask does not really stick well to the liner and can curl, so be careful how you store it before application..or staple the corners
  4. Need Help Does This Look Correct? Mimaki Jv3 - 130 Spii

    I am posting a pic of my head unit. I saw this one connector that looks strange where it is...it is not loose but maybe it has something to do with the electric eye when setting up a new roll of material. I just found it odd the way it looked jammed in there

  6. Digital Printed Decals Curling Off

    I know he is applying them to the outgoing heat duct which is galvanized steel. I am pretty sure it is the way he is applying them.
  7. Digital Printed Decals Curling Off

    I have a heating air conditioning compnay that wanted decals to put on furnaces. He was worried that they would not stick and I assured him that they should be no problem considering that decals on vehicles stick on hot metal during the summer. Maybe I was wrong, but I printed him 100 labels...
  8. Need Help Affixing Signs To Block Walls

    should buy 1.5" velcro rolls ...a dot cannot support the shear weight of a sign that large...BTW how many dots per sign did you use. I would also use methyl hydrate to clean the wall before applying the velcro

  14. Signlab 8 - Making A Bitmap From A Vectored File

  17. portable seat

    I picked up this aluminum seat that is used by seniors in a bathtub. Strange as it may sound it sits very low and has rubber feet, so it does not move when you are leaning over to reach out to squeegee. It is designed to be very comfortable and you sit very low....great for working on pick up...
  18. Need Help Summa S140 T series vinyl tracking

    I have seen this on my summa d140 . The culprit for me is that the roller has to be lined up on the little metal roller beneath it and sometimes when loading vinyl they can get moved slightly without you noticing it, then the buckles happen. You might also try slowing the plotter down

    If it has no adhesive, just how does it stick to a window?
  20. Graphtec FC8000 cutting strip

    I always find that what kills the strip is one day you load some vinyl and the leading edge rips the strip right off...then you have a problem. Last time the strip came off in 2 pieces as the cutter basically wore through it. I did not have a replacement and used 3M primer to put it back on and...
