  1. Laminator suddenly stops working in autorun

    If it were a fuse ( I have no idea where they hide them) why would the laminator still work?
  2. RANT about our god darn consumer culture!!

    I remember our washing machine finally went and we bought a new Whirlpool front loader...My wife nagged me about getting the matching dryer, if for no other reason that they looked good together. I of course said no...who goes in the laundry room anyways... 3 months later the dryer is on the...
  3. why do the "i"'s and the "l"'s look wrong in pdf files

    I didn't convert the font to outlines, but maybe Signlab does when creating a pdf file
  4. why do the "i"'s and the "l"'s look wrong in pdf files

    I have seen this before and today a client asked why the "I"'s and the "l"'s looked odd. I opened the file and you see these 2 letters much bolder than everything else...I also noticed if you zoom in they look correct. Any reason for this?
  5. anyone have a formula for print and cut decals?

    I don't exactly agree with that Bob, Weeding can be very time consuming especially with complex cuts or just plain nasty laminate that does not like to be cut....and of course the time to set it up in the cutter and get the optical reader to see everything correctly....
  6. anyone have a formula for print and cut decals?

    Sq footage pricing is fine for print, but what happens when you throw cutting into the mix? Not only the time to cut the actual decals but weeding and then cutting them all down... Up until now I have been winging it but never had a real formula for doing this. What do you guys do for...
  7. Laminator suddenly stops working in autorun

    Maybe this is the problem, but when I took off the panel farthest from the control panel the sensor in there has 2 diodes on it one green and one orange. When I placed the piece of paper in the way the sensor changed to the orange color, so I guess the sensor is working...however the green...
  8. Laminator suddenly stops working in autorun

    I took off both sides and slid a piece of paper in the way of the sensor and it changes colour on the unit from green to orange so I can only guess that is not the problem... but I don't get a green light on the control panel where the eye graphic is, so maybe it is..who knows...waiting for a...
  9. Laminator suddenly stops working in autorun

    Seal 54 el - I was laminating some vinyl to coroplast and it was running OK and then at the end of one board it suddenly stopped like something was blocking the electric eye. I ran the foot pedal to finish the last few inches. Put in the next sheet and no way no how will the forward button...
  10. What exactly is engineering grade reflective?

    OK so if I buy a 15" engineering grade reflective from ND graphics for a 12" x 18" park sign...would it be ok to use a 3ml clear lam on the graphics or do I need to use a cast laminate? I am more concerned with shrinkage rates and not sure if reflective even shrinks at all
  11. What exactly is engineering grade reflective?

    is it like a cast vinyl or a calendered? not sure which laminate to use

    I had the 4b and of course the beloved scrappy attachment!!! Then moved to the sprint and the digitizing tablet and finally the job save!! That was awesome. naturally progressed to the cadlink fastboard with windows 3. Still have an Edge with an Envision plotter...but do everything in...
  13. Is gerber going away

    This is true, but interestingly Gerber offers more colours in 2ml than 3M (220)
  14. found this web site to convert cmyk to pantone

    quick and easy and good enough when dealing with clients who take forever getting pantone info from their designers. http://www.ginifab.com/feeds/pms/cmyk_to_pantone.php
  15. Flexi Crash Conspiracy?

    I keep the computer that does my printing off the net...no virus programs...nothing....No crashes or anything strange happening like I used to get when it had access to the internet.
  16. y position alarm

    I have never done this with my FC4100-130... How is it done? I never have too many issues although I am convinced based on how it cuts some days over others with identical material that there must be some sort of electronic issue with cutting quality...rarely happens but can't figure out...
  17. 3M Dusted Crystal - Best Transfer Tape?!?!?!

    I am not expert but the 3m transfer tape comes in many different types, but best of all is that it is thicker than just about all the others I have tried and application always works well. It also releases very nicely wet or dry

    Hold on guys.... I think this is all mixed up here...... Let me start again... I am printing small decals for a promotional company that is using them for 3M...Just a 3M logo on a white circle.....

  20. printing decals for 3M
