    What are you wearing....Jake....?
  2. Summa 160 S2 doesn't start at beginning of roll

    So our 160 S2 does not always scroll the roll to the beginning of the roll. In other words, I load a roll of vinyl to cut, and if I pull out a foot or two to get it straight and tight, and hit the button to load, it doesn't take it up to the beginning, so I have manually roll it back. Is there a...
  3. Opinion Rule of thumb on lamming heat

    Usually only use heat on matte and luster laminates, as they tend to silver. Gloss laminates don't so that as much. But you are free to use heat assist on anything really, but too much heat can stretch your cast laminates and cause issues, so use little as possible. I don't go over 90 degrees on...
  4. Best Cutter for Pre-printed Rolls of Paper?

    CNC for paper?? I think he is just slicing off from a linear roll of prints.
  5. S140T Dragging blade across laminated prints

    I have this issue cutting Motomark and any vinyl laminated with polycarb lam....it's so stiff it doesn't "roll" over the platen and lay flat. Will try the swab trick next time.
  6. Aluminum laminate signage help

    How do you figure? That looks to me like just cut vinyl on brushed silver ACM. No dimension to the letters at all.
  7. Font ID

    Optima
  8. Coroplast for Sign Face

    Recommend, sell, and use the right material, or walk away.
  9. Floor digital vinyl no lamination

    We use Walk and Wall. Can't laminate it....it's textured for its intended purpose. We've done for outdoors as well as indoors and works great. One outside our front door gets plenty of foot traffic and have replaced it twice in 2 years. As long as someone isn't sitting there trying to scuff it...
  10. Contactless pickup area working great

    We've been doing a lot of that. We leave stuff in the back of one of our shop trucks. So far it hasn't been a problem. If we're in the shop, we just have the orders sitting up front of our counter, and we have floor graphics notifying to stay within that area.
  11. Brushed aluminum ACM outdoors?

    We did this property, all full 4x8 sheets of Brushed DiBond with standoffs. Not how WE wanted it done but the customer.. They've held up fine.
  12. Vinyl Question

    GF 226 is a standard wall vinyl many shops use. Works fine as a wall vinyl, as it's intended. Avery 2610 works well, 3M IJ 3555 works. But the ones designed for wall murals are usually 6mil, thicker than standard vinyls, to make them easy to install. They don't stretch either so lining up...
  13. Window Perf.

    Sounds like a laminate issue or maybe an ink issue, not the perf.
  14. Discussion Rack or holder you made

    Have several of these in the shop that we made with the core inserts and MDO strips.
  15. Laminator Roller Cleaners?

    Good old paper towels and water cleans them pretty well. Use iso alcohol now and then too.
  16. NEED TO KNOW

    My thoughts too. Just like Girl Scout Cookies....those poor little girls. ....
  17. NEED TO KNOW

    3M 233+, the green tape.
  18. HR Dept says we're not "essential"

    Why would they care? What if you are still paying employees even if your shop isn't technically open? They can't withhold checks on what they think.
  19. Will Oracal 3621 work for me?

    I'll offer a shorter answer. Yes. It's a disposable decal.
