  1. LDF spoil board

    You folks are great, thanks a ton for all of this info, it's really helpful! Your assessment on LDF vs MDF is right in line with what I was hearing from various sources and with what opinions I'm beginning to form for myself. Since the LDF is a harder find I'm going to go with the MDF, seal the...
  2. LDF spoil board

    yup shrinkage is an issue, especially in the cold (sorry inappropriate joke there that I couldn't resist, watched too many episodes of Seinfeld!).... But in seriousness, I probably wouldn't try it with a vinyl on ACM combo for the very reason you explained, but it's ideal for direct print to...
  3. LDF spoil board

    Yeah I'm pumped to try it out with the LDF, the example I saw at ISA you couldn't nudge the material unless tapping it with a hammer, no joke. Granted they probably had the strongest vacuum possible, but still seems like a great solution. I also like the idea of the spoil board being wood, I'm...
  4. LDF spoil board

    yup spoil board on vacuum table for CNC router....I used to use the Gerber Sabre 408 with 1/2" PVC, but had a file that came with the machine that pockets and drills the holes in the PVC to line up with the holes in the aluminum router table. But on newer machines the way to go is use the LDF...
  5. LDF spoil board

    Thanks checking them out now, they are only 3.5 hours away so much better than 5. Left their NJ sales rep a voicemail and waiting for his call back. Thanks again!
  6. LDF spoil board

    Hey folks, I'm looking for a source of LDF somewhere near Cooperstown NY. I'll be using it for the spoil board on our recently purchased CNC router. I've found some at Atlantic plywood in Farmingdale, NY but that's a 5 hour drive from me and noboby wants to ship a single sheet of LDF. Looking...
  7. ONYX print installer

    Thanks Unclebun, I figured it out. Turns out I was downloading the printinstaller files for ONYX version 19 instead of what I have which is version 12.2....once I downloaded the correct one it was good to go!
  8. ONYX print installer

    Hi Folks, I'm installing ONYX thrive onto a new computer...I've installed the software no problem, but when I attempt to install a printer from the printerinstall file that was created by the download manager I get the attached message. Anyone have any ideas?
  9. Just a reminder to be specific as posible

    And on that note, I'm below my 10% alcohol quota for the day....CHEERS and good weekend to all!
  10. Just a reminder to be specific as posible

    And I bet those folks are better than most even with the only 8% left over, we all gotta find the recipe that works for us lmao!
  11. Just a reminder to be specific as posible

    Being a sign maker is 50% mind reading, 25% anger management, 15% skill, and 10% alcohol
  12. edges of material lifting on painted drywall

    Yeah I'm not educated with putting dry erase on painted wall, usually i do the same as what Reveal1 mentioned and can't speak to the various properties of different brands/types of dry erase when applied to a painted wall.
  13. edges of material lifting on painted drywall

    is it calendared or cast vinyl? it's shrinking and the adhesive isn't aggressive enough to keep it down. Either a calendared with aggressive adhesive will work but will damage wall upon removal, or a cast with regular/removable adhesive will work and may or may not damage wall upon removal...
  14. Need Help HP 750 Horizontal Banding on prints

    It's normal but there's a big difference between "indoor signage" and "indoor signage plus"...."indoor signage" does not use the jet replacement feature on the fly while "indoor signage plus" does....with UV ink often a jet or two will go out temporarily especially on longer runs, this is called...
  15. Carhartt work jackets: embroidering or screen printing?

    Also a viable option, you can buy iron on patches that are legit...and any embroiderer should be able to sew them on with their machines, but that puts you right back into hooping issues and might as well direct embroider at that point. I'm capable of doing any of these options and have CTJ131...
  16. Carhartt work jackets: embroidering or screen printing?

    CTJ131, you can embroider this with left/righ chest placement. I've done this exact jacket before, although it did pop out of the hoop on my first attempt. Our solution ended up being to manually, with a needle and thread, tie the hoop closed with the jacket in place. Tied in two locations we...
  17. Options for getting large patterns digitized?

    I've used an 11"x 17" cheap $100 scanner and scanned it in multiple pieces and rebuilt it in photoshop. I've mostly done this for fine art reproductions, and the customer's standards were really high, and it worked out great. Time consuming, but no wasted materials or special equipment required...
  18. Carhartt work jackets: embroidering or screen printing?

    CT102418, CT102417 work shirts have pockets in the chest areas that make it difficult to hoop but can be done with the right hoop. CTC03 and CTTC03 have pockets in the same areas but are also a really heavy/rigid fabric and I haven't been able to hoop those successfully for front chest...
  19. Discussion Before I leave.....................

    Happy Thanksgiving Gino. And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on this forum, moderators and users alike! There's been plenty of spats here throughout the year, but they are dust in the wind compared to the all the knowledge, support, and help I find here regularly. Through the years there's been a...
  20. Carhartt work jackets: embroidering or screen printing?

    Do you know the style or product number for the Carhartts? I've done both printing and embroidery onto a number of different Carhartt items, they are tricky but we pulled it off and they looked great. Actually have a few in the shop now that we will be doing....there are some that have heavy...
