  1. photopolymer

    We currently use the raster system for braille, however we have been getting asked for photopolymer signs quite a lot recently. Is it true that you can not achieve a rounded braille "dot" using the photopolymer process? It seems that quite a few architects are now spec'ing the photopolymer...
  2. Seal 65 EL Laminator missing height gauge on newly delivered machine.

    Don't get me wrong, the laminator works, it's just a VERY entry level machine. laminating full rolls of vinyl, get ready to pull your hair out, the tracking is really bad! I haven't noticed any issues that I would attribute to the lack of tension bar though. Also, when I called up Seal for...
  3. Seal 65 EL Laminator missing height gauge on newly delivered machine.

    We have the 54el and the height gauge may as well not even be there, it's so inaccurate that we don't even look at it anymore, I eyeball the space between the rollers and adjust as needed. i bought this machine because I thought I was better off with a low end seal than a no name machine, and...
  4. need a cmyk print from a fellow edge owner

    +1 that would never leave my shop, the printer that produced those has a serious issue that needs to be addressed!
  5. audio information while you are on hold….

    The longest someone is on hold with us is a minute or two while we either go to a quieter place to talk, or go find the person to talk to, a live person always answers the phone. If someone doesn't have the patience for that, I don't want them.
  6. need a cmyk print from a fellow edge owner

    If you fly me down, I'll bring the print with me!
  7. Using spot color with fountain

    I'm not 100% sure this will work with a fountain fill, but can you send it over to versaworks as CMYK, then use the "special color settings" to output the CMYK as your desired spot colour? i know it works great on solid colour fills, but i've never tried it on gradients.
  8. A Question of Ethics.....

    I can't see how the USMC logo can be copywritten, as far as I can tell it should be in the public domain, just like the flag and other national government symbols, your tax dollars pay for the Armed Forces, therefore the armed forces logos should be public domain no?

  10. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    Wait a minute... they can't migrate data between their own programs?!? you have to reenter ALL of your info again?!?! That can't be right, can it?
  11. Help Avery premium vinyl

    what supplier was it?
  12. Tesa ACX plus foam tape

    I ordered in 2 rolls of the 7063 which is also black. We mostly use it on the back side of painted acrylic signs, so it will be sticking to the latex paint, hopefully it works out, I will make a few tests in the shop before we send any out.
  13. Tesa ACX plus foam tape

    Has anyone used this tape for installing general interior signage? We usually use 3M VHB tape, but one of our suppliers carries the tesa tape at about half the cost, we would use it mostly for interior way finding type signs. Anyone me have real world experience?
  14. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    Gotta love the software-as-a-service subscription model! You pay all this money for a product all these years, and at the end of the day you have nothing to show for any of it, you can't sell your software to another shop to try to recoup your investment, you stop paying and all the information...
  15. I have a challenging sign to make.....

    Make a pattern out of paper, trace it and then copy the shape onto your substrate of choice
  16. Good blockout vinyl to cover 2000 sq ft of windows???

    Im in Canada so we won't have the same suppliers. http://www.arlon.com/find-a-distributor als, not sure if grimco in the states sells the tru-stock brand as their house brand or not, but it is also a good choice, the adhesive is fairly dark and it is very easy to remove, not air release...
  17. Good blockout vinyl to cover 2000 sq ft of windows???

    Arlon digital vinyls have a very dark grey adhesive, and they are air release. I would install on the outside of the glass so the sun is hitting the white side to minimize the effect of heat.
  18. Rotary Trimmer

    We have one leaning up against the wall for the last 2 years, I bought it and hate it. I can do basic trimming of decals and prints about 10x faster with a good safety ruler and a knife. It's very difficult to make small adjustments to the trimmers, such as when you are trying to trim a print...
  19. Is there a take up reel that works with Print & Cut jobs?

    I think the ones from Roland allow it, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I know there is a way to have the printer print and cut the job in smaller batches, which you can then advance the previous set onto the take up while the next is printing, but it does require babysitting
