  1. What' going on? Avery MPI 1105 Supercast EZRS/ DOL 1060Z

    I noticed the same thing with Avery 1060z and 1360z after the reformulation. The life of the film is shorter than the old formula. We tested Arlon's new SLX but didn't like the base film but loved the lam. So now I am using 1105 with Arlon 3270. None of the MFG's will give you a warranty anyway...
  2. Need Help SP-540i black/cyan head replaced, now prints with a wavy pattern and white "streaks"

    What media are you printing on? I might be wrong but that sure looks like contamination to me. It could be static deflecting the nozzles. Your test print looks good? We keep all our print films in the bag they are delivered in while not being used for this very reason.
  3. Need Help SP-540i black/cyan head replaced, now prints with a wavy pattern and white "streaks"

    That looks like media contamination. In paint we would call it a fisheye. Pull a few feet out of the printer so you have fresh area and try it again. And that looks like a lot of ink. You might want to check the profile.
  4. Magnet Cutting

    flatbed cutter. hold on to your wallet.
  5. Tape mounting dimensional letters

    Yes you can stud mount to drywall. I just did 4 logos in the entry of a local business. drilled the pattern with a smaller drill bit and installed them into the holes. Now these will at best be wiped with a duster and not pulled on in any way.
  6. Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

    When you grown up in Texas, you learn real quick not to play in the tall johnson grass. Use clear fingernail polish to suffocate the burrowing little SOBs. They don't just bite, they dig into your skin and stay there a while. Don't get me started on bull nettle, skeeters, spear grass, blister...
  7. Question R Series cutter LXi software problems

    Also the R-Series cutter is a china Red-Sail cutter. You can probably drive it from winpcsign.
  8. Question R Series cutter LXi software problems

    What you are not grasping is that you have 4 colors in that design. You need to exit production manager and go back to the design and make it a 1 color design by welding and compounding it. When you have that done then go into the production manager and send it to your cutter. That LXi software...
  9. How can we get started with making channel signs?

    That is not entirely true, we hold a Texas electrical sign contractors license and work under a master electrician's license. I get to log hours towards the minimum 12,000 hours to be a master sign electrician and still run my company. TDLR made it clear that he could run his business under his...

  11. How to create a cut layer in photoshop

    Wow!! I guess y'all are real limited on your designs. I guess your only have plotters in your shop. I tell you what, fire your designer that can work in both raster and vector and send them my way. I have a workstation I can put them at. IMO . There are usually the need for raster and vector...
  12. Water Printing

    We looked into it. It was about like getting into the printing industry, cost wise. Professional stainless tank with filters and heater (think hot tub) , auto dunking machine, post washing machine was all expensive. Not counting a paint booth and all the tools associated with that side of it. We...
  13. best sign related injury :)

    Got a new laminator and loaded it up with laminate that has the plastic liner. We ran almost the whole roll and I leaned over to look and see how much was left. It felt like I was hit in the forehead with a baseball bat. Everything went black and I dropped to my knees. The static buildup in the...
  14. Banner Blemishes

    Unless this is a huge banner there is no way I would try and fix it. Reprint and go on. The time you spent jacking with the repair, you could have made 2 more. In reality you could air brush over it with a decent paint that matched. But we are back to how much time/money to spend on fixing...

  16. Fencing?

    if its real then call a fence company and mark it up. no shame in being the middle man.
  17. Question Financing Options

    I would think the extra paperwork would be minimal over our current contracts. I have missed a few jobs because of financing issues. On a plus side usually people spend more if financing. It would open the door to upsell the customer on larger sign or additional signage for their business. I am...
  18. Question Financing Options

    I wanted to get some feedback on offering financing for our clients. We have had more and more clients that want to finance Message Centers, Wraps, and larger projects. I currently tell them to go to their bank. We were wanting something we could have them apply at the time of the bid and not...
