  1. Bar Code missing Part

    If that's the case then Summa has apparently written some proprietary code requiring that line. Odd but manufacturers put "safeguards" in place. Was it working before or never worked from the get go?
  2. Bar Code missing Part

    If you are referring to the missing horizontal line it has nothing to do with a bar codes effectiveness. Bar code scanners read the ratio between the white and black lines.
  3. Discussion Guarantee cut vinyl banner ?

    Never had that issue as I don't sell inferior products. I never use less than 13oz scrim with 1" hems and real brass grommets every two feet. Been doin' them like that for 30+ years with no call backs.
  4. Contour Cut Digital Print on textured wall

    Champagne taste, beer budget. Want's a slick wall graphic and thinks by not covering the whole space is going to save money. Run away and fast. Highly textured? Strong pass, install would be a nightmare and doomed to failure from the onset. If you have the skill paint it. If not sub it...
  5. Discussion Guarantee cut vinyl banner ?

    This right here. ^^^^^^ No further discussion necessary.
  6. What print bed mat/cover do you use?

    Could try two sided carpet tape. Worked well enough to hold wood, foam and plastic parts on a 3-axis Haas.
  7. High Heat Vinyl

    Does the client actually need the temp rating? I think wrap vinyl would work a treat. I make industrial labels and use Arlon 6000XRP with 3220 laminate. Good for 176 degrees F.
  8. Substance cutting graphtec or summa?

    If budget is a concern Mimaki makes different sizes of flatbed plotters. We have a CF22-1225 in the lab at school. It runs well and with vacuum you can through cut decals. No kiss cutting then perf cutting. Just not a fan of Rasterlink.
  9. Roland SP540 Rebuilt Need Help!

    Pulling ink through with a syringe would load the head with ink for the 100% firing then nothing. I would guess air leak.
  10. Sign Shop Production Assistant - West Allis, WI

    Sounds like a cool gig, but it would be a two hour commute. Well that and I'm old.
  11. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    Paneled a semi-truck wrap with Flexi. You can set overlaps, flip every other panel and set sizes manually. I just set the overlap and let it figure out the panels. Then I take a look to make sure the panel won't screw up text or images. Easy to turn panels on or off too. Pretty sure Flexi...
  12. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    Flexi for cut vinyl and print/cut, but it won't run on a Mac. Could probably do a VM though. I think others here have done it successfully.
  13. Which RIP software do you use ?

    Flexi right now and probably until I retire. Had ErgoSoft but they wouldn't let me upgrade or run my current version so there it sits.(not going into details) Wrote it off as a loss. I've run others but they aren't relevant to the conversation.
  14. Force Majeure: Yet another Corrugated Plastic Increase (Coroplast)

    Nothing to do with hype Gino but I understand your comment. End user pays for it regardless. Critical thinking asks: What happens when you can't get the materials to run your shop, or the customer refuses to pay the exorbitant quote? We know there's going to be supply chain issues whether...
  15. Anti-graffiti, laminate vs liquid coating

    BOOM! OP's problem solved just like that.
  16. Force Majeure: Yet another Corrugated Plastic Increase (Coroplast)

    My in town supplier of coro had a 12 week lead time and would allow me the privilege of paying 2.5X as much. :confused: Ordered from Grimco and got it next day without the price increase. I should probably place the same order today.
  17. Did Grimco acquire Midwest??

    Haven't had any issue with Grimco. Some time ago Midwest stopped delivering to my home shop. Grimco said give me your money and address.;) Hope that doesn't change.
  18. IL DOT signs

    Could start here: https://mutcd.info/ Only printer I can think of right now is the TrafficJet.
  19. Sandblasted & Passivated Stainless Steel Property Line Marker NYC

    Agree with Johnny Best. Have it CNC'ed. Can passivate after everything is done. Passivating is nothing more than wiping down with an acid solution. It removes surface contaminants and builds a thicker oxide layer. I used to do this way back when I worked in a fab shop building dryers for...
  20. If you have a Google listing, please check it.

    No Google listing that I know of. S'pose it wouldn't hurt to check. No website either at this point. Pulled it down for a refresh...whenever we get to it. Actually have a new brand to release for a target market. Again, when I get to it. Lazy? Perhaps, but I'm not that far away from having...
