  1. Cutter/trimmer vs knife and straight edge

    we have some straight edges that are 60"... Then for anything really long, we just use a 1" x 3" Aluminum bar that was 20 FT and we cut it down to 12 to fit on our rolls roller perfectly. We played with the idea of electric trimmers before... But if you nest and have stuff rotated, it ends up...
  2. probably a rookie mistake

    Different pdf files? My guess is one of the pdfs have an embedded profile in it. I'd try to rip both again and see with the color value if it's different. If it is.mm it'd.be interesting if you post the files so others can try and diagnose it! Weird problems like this fascinate me and I'd...
  3. Aluminum Welding

    Mig is pretty easy to learn - Aluminum welding is a lot harder than steel welding. We've had a few guys self teach eachother how to weld aluminum with a mig within a few days of playing around... Granted we weld real estate frames and a few custom podiums and stuff, nothing that needs a perfect...

  5. SG2-300 Nightmare for Diecut Stickers! Help

    I'd never use the same blade for kiss and perf, simply because as you said... Cutting through paper dulls it fast. For kiss cut I use OEM blades and an OEM holder. For perf cut I bought 100 blades for less than a buck each, and a holder for $5. I swap out the blade every roll of material...
  6. HP 800W users…what are your thoughts?

    We've had the 700w for awhile. We find it has less head rubs / crashes than the 500 does. We always use the edge guards though... Even though HP insists you don't have to. I don't see a reason not to, so why not be safe? I hate not having a dancer bar on the take up. The first few weeks...
  7. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    I think they allow multiple people using their license... unless room mates has their own agreement not allowing it. I know there is limit to how many people as they don't want to flood the market... But I don't know if they're close to that limit. I only looked into the sports ones... I was...
  8. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    If it were feasible and in reach, believe me I would. The current system is designed so only the rich get richer. Especially when it comes.to copyroghts... I looked into what it'd take take to sell NFL / NHL / NBA wall decals like roomates does. They require a guaranteed 100k per year income...
  9. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    a NAS is very similiar to a PC in terms of you can buy a garbage one, or you can buy a good one. You can buy a $200 qnap... or a $2000 qnap. If you ever do buy a nas, check what CPU is in it as well as how much ram it has... You dont need much for a nas, but when you're transfering to 3-4...
  10. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    Yup.. pretty much! And there in lies the problem on why I have a barcade sitting in my living room on the ottoman that my wife keeps wanting me to get rid of... Usually when I get bored of a project I just throw it on craigslist for free/cheap, but due to the roms I don't want to / cant...
  11. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    Pis are awesome. Funnily.enough octoprint was.my.first use of the pi, many years ago when I built a few anets from China. It was the only stable way to get it working! I've built a pi cade... Ninja turtle one. It was a project to learn how to use the CNC, has every make game / SNES game on...
  12. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    I'd never trust them. if I had insurance and it cost me nothing... sure! First time we were hit with lockit. That one wasnt bad... This last one was brutal though. It encrypted system files, so any machine that wasnt left turned on couldn't boot... So even if they were legit going to decrypt...
  13. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    Orders like this are my bread and butter. My "side business" is based around printing stuff at home overnight / while I watch tv. Cutting it on my roll cutter while I walk away... I can print a roll in 3 hours, just takes 5 mins of setup / roll switch. Laminate on the roll to roll laminator...
  14. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    We have 3 5x10 tables, we do lots and lots of large format screen printing, I still stand by my moving a 54" x 60" Sheet takes a lot of finesse, and trying to watch text on 100 different circles to make sure theres no run through would be a pain... Ontop of having to run 45 different sheets...
  15. Question about tax exemptions for resale goods

    In Canada... At least in BC. You don't have to pay per on vinyl rolls. However you have to collect PST on prints you sell / vinyl you install. But buying the supplies your exempt from PST. Premask... Because you don't sell premask to a customer and it's considered an "installation item" your...

    The only problem from restoring a full VM from the night before is the exploit they used to get in is also being restored.. and depending on which varient it is, you could have to go back months. The one we just dealt with was Thanos. We did a quick VM restore so that production could keep...
  17. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    Depending on the graphics screen printing 5 ft sheets is a pain. If it has small text in the screen you have to constantly watch hundreds of areas to make sure there's no ink leakage... On top of that moving a 5-ft piece of vinyl without it touching itself takes finesse, not impossible but not...
  18. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    Most of that is file storage, not critical holes... it would take years to restore over a network for sure! I have restored from Google when we were ransomwared though. We run everything via VM, I have real-time backup at the file level as well as daily snapshots, and then the VM image is...
  19. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    I mean, if there is a limit I haven't reached it yet. There is a daily limit of 750 GB before they cap you for the day but again.. I don't think anybody will be hitting that. It may be an issue if you are restoring a few terabytes and you want to restored really quick, but there are ways around...
  20. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    Also, if you have a Nas... I highly, highly suggest some form of backup. Ransomware is going crazy right now, they encrypt all your files then try to make you pay 100k to get them back... And NAS's are targeted right now.
