  1. Who can customize Fayon?

    If it's new and under warranty get the dealer to fix it. Otherwise... If the cylinders aren't leaking air pressure will equalize between them. Since the issue is moving from right to left I'd say it's binding somewhere. Could have a bent rod on a cylinder, guides not installed correctly, or...
  2. How many different vinyls do you regularly use?

    Orajet 3640 for temporary, Arlon 6000XRP/3220 for boats, vehicles, industrial labeling etc., and Solvex window perf. If I need anything other than that I sub it out. Got tired of paying carrying costs on stuff that I rarely used.
  3. Anyone have L*a*b* color numbers for MUTCD traffic colors?

    The MUTCD compliant Mutoh printer would be a TrafficJet. The dealer where I bought my Mutoh manufactures the parts for them.
  4. Boat graphics removal/install

    Yups, knifeless tape. This one for contours/corners: 3M™ Design Line Knifeless Tape KTS-DL1 Wallpaper steamer is what I use. Wagner 705, paid around 40 bucks for it. If you are in an area without electricity or don't want to trip over cords I use a Ridgid Cordless Heat Gun. Especially nice...
  5. Boat graphics removal/install

    Could also try steam for removal. If you need to make a template here's what we did. Taped plotter paper to the hull and went over that with crayon. Took the template back to the shop and struck a 12" grid over it. Took a photo and scaled it in Illustrator. You may not need to make a...
  6. First they came for Dr. Seuss and I said nothing........

    ...and people wonder why my wife and I are scouting retirement property out in the pickers. Just like my friend. Huge property with a single gated access point. Do not show up unannounced.
  7. Shop Lighting

    Forgot to mention check with your local utility. Some will have good rebates on commercial lighting.
  8. Shop Lighting

    Check Youtube. People that make their living shooting Youtube videos say you can never have too much light. I agree. Shadows are caused by improper spacing and using the wrong fixtures for the area. If you have a friend that's a professional photographer ask them about lighting.;)
  9. Ever feel like giving up before you really got started?

    To the OP. You will also get clients like this one. Client: I just bought a sailboat and want the transom lettered. Me: We can do that for you. Tell me the name and colors you like. So I did a simple layout and gave him a price for print/lam/cut or two layers of cast vinyl both are around...
  10. Finding a vinyl color match to Matthews Paint Code?

    Dark anything on glass won't work like the client expects it to. Learned this from an old time sign guy. He said: "Windows are like mirrors, they don't reflect light only dark".(let that sink in for a minute) Under certain lighting conditions that blue will disappear or be hard to read. That...
  11. Need Help Roland VG-640 cutting issues

    Before you drive yourself crazy with cutting issues buy a dedicated plotter. I owned a Roland and cured all my contour cut issues the day my Summa showed up. Granted my Roland was older, but Roland print/cut devices have never been known as the go to for contour cutting.
  12. Affinity 1.9 Upgrade - Rooting for the little guy

    I'm in a very unique situation. Most of my work is very basic and Flexi serves the print/cut end very well. Only thing I get really in depth with is Photoshop and that's mainly for funeral posters. Yes' they're a thing around here but I haven't done any in a long long time. Affinity and cut...
  13. Techs that work on HP products

    Oof. Tough deal when you have zero options.
  14. Ever feel like giving up before you really got started?

    When I had My SP540V I solved the cutting issue. I Bought a Summa D140R.;)
  15. Need Help Versaworks 6.9 rip time

    Are there a lot of files in the RIP que? That slows VW to a crawl or crashes it.
  16. Affinity 1.9 Upgrade - Rooting for the little guy

    If I wasn't an instructor I wouldn't have Adobe CC. Bulk of my work gets done in Flexi, which I own outright, and trying to filter in more Affinity. Also have the full OnOne suite.
  17. Carrying Brackets for Roland XR640 printer. Okay to install on bottom?

    What about where the legs attach? When I moved my Mutoh down a flight of stairs I built a sled for it. Sled got hooked to a one ton Tug-It(chain hoist) anchored to the floor with a custom plate. Took the wife and I about half an hour to slide it down the steps. Roland came up the same way...
  18. Need Help Variable Data

    I use variable data in Flexi on a regular basis(industrial labeling) but never tried exporting to PDF. I'll check into that when I get my next batch of labels. May not have any relevance though since I don't have the cloud version of Flexi. Like Firesprint recommended InDesign is also an...
  19. Happy Easter Everyone!

    Happy Easter to all! Already have my Frick's ham in the fridge. Got one for my dad and the mother-in-law too. Cream cheese dinner rolls, taters, green bean casserole...yum!
  20. Question Anyone using Flexi on an S40600/80600?

    When I bought my Mutoh I paid extra to get the unlocked Flexi Pro 12.xxxx. See if that's an option. I don't like the SaaS model at all.
