We were told for our fb500 to be careful with the belt. If it breaks they need to send an engineer out (can be done on site) and it's a 15-20k replacement cost..we've been using methanol and alcohol on it for years, but we only ever take a plastic blade to it and not a metal.

Do you guys use packing foam? If you can get your hands on methanol it works 100x better than Alcohol does. We just spray it with methanol, put some foam over it... Let it sit for 20 mins and when we come back all the ink is curled / caked off. Then we use a plastic scrapers to scrape all the...

Yes. I'm a klutz. Whether the gun is on the floor and I roll into it with my Mechanic chair and burn my leg, or in dangling it while stretching a piece of vinyl... Or it's sitting into a ladder and I reach for it.. I've done so many wraps and installs I could do them blindfolded, but I have a...

https://www.protoolreviews.com/trades/painting/ridgid-18v-cordless-butane-heat-gun/44734/ It uses butane combined with a battery for a pretty long lasting solution.... Not as good as a wired of course. The only downside is it uses butane... We do a lot of gas wraps and while they frown on...

Well... If it doesn't have to be reflective, I'd just print it and cut it (assuming you have a printer laminator and cutter) on some good vehicle wrap vinyl and be done with it. Id say now's the time to introduce them to reflective.... But it might not be the best time for you! With how fast...

You guys have police cars that arent reflective down south? Don't think I've ever seen one that isn't reflective in Canada. Granted 90% of our police force is RCMP and their standard is reflective... So maybe that's why. Even our "ghost" cars over here have reflective on them Tbh...

Yes... 680 is insanely expensive. Don't get me wrong, there are alternatives... Avery makes a decent removable reflective. Oracal does as well..both which are cheaper, the only problem is a lot of places spec 3M. You could also go the bubble free, non removable route... which a lot of places...

How's your husband price it out if you don't even know what type of vinyl? It'll be 3m 680 vinyl and it's expensive. 99% chance you guys will look like i idiots if you try this job... Id admit failure before even trying, save some face.

You need to be certified in order to print traffic signage. If its just a street sign (IE A name street blade) You can get away with it... BUT you wont have any warranty. If you do it in house... you need to overlam it with 1170 overlam. I'd suggest outsourcing it though - not sure who on...

Wall outlet — 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, provides temporary power tothe vacuum system when it is necessary to remove power from theprinter for service According to the site prep guide... Looks like the 120 is for backup power, which is interesting because my machines screen won't turn on if it's...

I was in the office today. There is 2 plugs... One 240 volt for the ink system / shop vac. The screen and PC is powered by a 20 amp 120v plug. I only remembered because we bought a 240v ups for it...and I was annoyed I couldn't plug both ends into it and had to buy a secondary ups. But I can...

I usually put down some transfer tape over the mark, take a ruler and draw the lines (our graphtec uses a half square) it's always cut perfectly after that. For our CNC .. we just put transfer tape over it. Since it uses a camera and not a laser it'll still read the circles. When I had a few...

Is the user end / PC part not 120v? Fairly certain the electronic part is 120v... But I could be wrong

And the most important reason why, 240v isn't as widely available so they can sell you it for $500 instead of you going to Walmart and buying one for $50.

Does it even adhere? Put a small piece of tape on it and see if it comes off. What vinyl is it? Printable at all? My guess is it's not a printable so there is no coating which leaves the spots. Most specialty vinyls don't like heat unfortunately... So I'd try to go higher passes, lower heat...

I've never had color consistency. We've had a 560 for about 5 years now. We do all the fleet vehicles for our police force, roughly 10 new ones a year as well as replacing panels when they get dinged up. We've replaced panels with gradients and full color bars from years ago and it matches...

Look at the oil pipeline that just forked out a million because of ransomware. Our IT company does work for our electrical company (We live in a big city, so its based here). I was told they were hit 3X in the span of 6 months with ransomware and paid $40k Each time to sweep it under the rug...

Yeah. I'd rather start from scratch than pay a ransom.... even if It cost us more to start from scratch. We have everything backed up, for the most part. Our server and all our VM's are backed up and actively protected - VMS /servers have 6 months worth of backups - they get a full backup...

Normally I think you're being crazy and that's being too safe.. Then an idiot in the office got a ransomware virus that infected all the servers... And my production PC... And guess which was the only PC that wasn't completely backed up... Rematching all my custom colors made me ensure a...

Have you looked at pitch print? Very affordable and easy to setup / use, and works with woocommerce. We played with it a bit for real estate... But the realized real estate agents are too lazy to type their own name and move stuff around, so gave up but we were up and running with it in an...
