  1. Banner Wholesalers

    I signed up for a s365 account for my home business. I actually do stuff at home, but they didn't verify it. Same with 4over... Sinalite... Heck, I got a bunch of us only ones pretty easy and my business registration is in Canada. I signed up with an email from my.domain...
  2. This is my Experience and Review on HP Latex 570

    It's an old nickname. One of my friends was learning Japanese...and ikarasu means "To annoy / anger someone" in Japanese... She started to call me it thinking it'd annoy me, but I liked it... and it fit my personality, so it stuck and I owned it! I've been going by ikarasu online for 20 years...
  3. This is my Experience and Review on HP Latex 570

    If the part is backordered... Why would it matter if HP agreed to sell it to another tech or not? You'd still be in the same predicament. HP has an ink agreement, vendors are not allowed to try and sell you ink if they didn't sell you the printer - however if you reach out to them and sign a...
  4. Banner Wholesalers

    You guys crack me up some times. If one of my customers told me they were looking elsewhere because I had to raise prices by .25 a sqft, I'd tell them not to let the door hit them on the way out. Loyalty aside... If signs365 has been producing good results for you and you're happy with their...
  5. How to make panels in Photoshop

    Do you have illustrator as well? We just make a artboard 48" x xx height... Create new artboards and save as PDF. Then it auto breaks them up. Takes seconds and you're using math for placement so it's exact
  6. Outgassing in Eco-solvent

    Or why Epson doesn't tell people they can laminate right away, when that's their biggest competitors advantage. The whole offgas vs no offgas debate seems crazy to me. The first solvent printer to say you can laminate right away will outsell any other solvent printer... I'll believe the...
  7. HP Scitex 500/550/700 Cyan Overspray?

    This is a known issue with HP ink - it started about a year and a half ago, we were told they switched ink suppliers and the uakity control wasn't great. It started with magenta for us.... Then black a few months later. We switched to nazdar ink, which is plug and play... And it fixed the...
  8. Two laminate questions

    We double laminate all the time and never have a problem. You always get the one order where someone wants a satin finish or a matte finish and its cheaper/quicker to just nest it in with the gloss then pre-mask it after its laminated... We've never had something fail. as to whether it adds...
  9. ISO ideas for April Fools shop pranks

    We have an employee whos worked here for 25 years...she works the front desk, takes orders, and does some customer service stuff. She hates being called a secretary... I love calling her one and getting the angry glare.. So I had some fun with it. Last year I took one of our police car wraps...
  10. Illustrator Help

    If you're using illustrator just export it as a PNG and print the PNG. Some rips don't like transparencies / shadows - some pdfs are saved in an older format that also does not like transparencies or shadows. You can try to diagnose the file for hours and figure it out... But the best bet is...
  11. How does this laminator look? Looking to buy it for 3000$ CAD

    $3000? Too much. You can buy a 54" rs for $5000 Canadian new. That thing being that age should be under 1k. I picked up the same.model for $100 at auction. My used one doesn't run straight... It always goes off. Probably just needs re alignment... But if you're going to buy this one.m bring a...
  12. Looking for help in deciphering this coloring code

    Have you printed a Pantone chart yet? Onyx supplies a big one that's about 4 ft by 4 ft, it has almost every Pantone in it. It's great to print so that when you have to match your Pantone you don't have to do a sample, you can just compare to the chart and see if it is close. As for the...
  13. Health Issues and Vinyl?

    As long as you don't live in California it's relatively safe!
  14. Vinyl print skewing using Big Squeegee...static cling?

    At work we use a rolls roller... It takes 1 minute to do a 4x8 and it's always perfect. At home I used to use my laminator... However it's now downstairs, and lugging a 4x8 Coro or alupanel downstairs is killer. So I just stand them up and hand apply them... Takes about 5-10 mins, not killer...
  15. Avery® SF 100 Conform Chrome

    We've cut some lightning bolt shapes out of it and it worked fine, the material does tend to tunnel. I probably won't cut anything under two to three inches on it, otherwise it should be fine
  16. Discussion I WILL NEVER SHOW OFF A HOME MADE PROJECT AGAIN

    I'm all for people modifying something and getting more use out of it. But imo, changing a chain saw to a large angle grinder does not seem like a good idea safety wise to me either. Angle grinders spin at a specific rpm in order to cool the blade fast as well as make it optimally cut. A...
  17. One man shop growing pains

    Are you on an android phone or a Iphone? Google Wifi calling - All the "Newer" (Last few years) phones have built in Wifi calling, and most carriers use it. When i'm at home in the basement I drop to 2 bars... so calls automatically get routed through Wifi and its cryctal clear... No device...

    I have 2 pairs that do... But I neevr do it because it looks stupid. Thankfully the zipper is covered by a flap so no one knows :roflmao:
  20. Not to contribute to that mess being created in another thread

    Ouch :confused: I only wear cargo pants... Or cargo shorts in the summer. I can't stand not having 20 pockets... I can't stand sitting on a wallet so it goes in my leg pocket. Then I need one for a knife...a squeegee... Keys, phone... Other tools. I don't see how people function in jeans or...
