All. Damn. Three. But I'll be making rum soon so I will either be less cranky or it will seriously intensify. :-)

Going to run into that more and more. Now you know. Always make sure a magnet will work for it's intended placement. It's a buddy, just eat it and move on.

Yep, 4 walls and a heater for your stock and printer. Material is cold enough that it buckles when the printers' heaters do their thing because of sharp increase in temp of vinyl.

Your best bet is to get a paint sample and to start diggin thru swatch books for vinyl. Just did a job that we tried to match digital print to paint using sw rgb formula. Nightmare.

Buy the machine. You have already made up your mind so get off the fence and in the trenches.

Been using hightail many years for free. Works just fine.

Triple chip carbide with tons of teeth. Good strong saw, clamped on straight edge, cover board if necessary. One of the first tools I purchased when opening the doors was a panel saw. That and a large table saw are pretty much must haves.

Triple sweet.

The one I just stuck myself with trying to get it out of a new pack was plenty sharp. ;-)

Every third call being a solicitation hasn't helped. No one wants to stop what they are doing ten times a day for a cold call. that being said, my wife does her best to keep me away from the customers;-)

Pics would help. Just looked at mine and it looks extremely simple.

Thin styrene coated with gold metallic vinyl. Small sheets cut down to easily run through your plotter. Crank up the pressure and score the sheet as good as you can. Snap out the 50's and smooth edges where necessary. Put new blade in plotter.

Screen printer first, then added signs. In between I have built a ton of stuff, lol. From residential to Disney Attractions. Commercial pest control for a while, taught high school, back into signs and screen printing almost 18 years ago full time. Building a craft distillery now for my old age.

Thank you!

You guys are brutal. Entertaining but brutal.

Client I've had many years is changing gears but still wants to use the font he could never id for me and I couldn't find years ago so just drew the word and been using it since. Any one got a clue? Thank you;-)

Study TTB rules, standards and practices for new distillery. Still have a little plumbing and interior framing to do on buildout. Finally got permit app submitted yesterday. Lord what a pile of forms. Hopefully I'll be making rum soon and doing sign work on slow days, lol.

Been a while since I've noticed a post from ya Mosh, how's the soy bean business?

No vinyl. Straight to substrate. And what Gino said about 5900 series inks is correct. I keep adhesion promoter around for those moments when I don't want to drop a pile of coin on a small print run and have ink leftover forever. Not everything needs to last 10 years.
