  1. Epson or Rolland

    I would contact Mike at Insignia to get his opinion of the GS6000. Others will probably chime in as well, heck, there is a used one for sale in the classified section. That said, Epson's new solvent machine looks much more promising than the GS6000. Also seems to address and fix a lot of...
  2. Anyone Know Small Outboards?

    Hard to tell, but if it is already assembled you should be able to "gently" pull the pull starter with the spark plug(s) removed while it is in gear and see the prop spin F/R or not at all for neutral.
  3. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    At this point, I likely will. Grimco was giving me a pretty good deal on their KEY material and for a time I was satisfied with the quality. Also, forgot to mention that Grimco would cut banner down free of charge for my 48" Mutoh 1204. Ultraflexx didn't offer a 48-50" solution. Now that I...
  4. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    OK, ONE MORE UPDATE... Talked again with my rep who was originally going to replace these with the "right" material. Unfortunately they're giving me a credit now because all of the new stock he was told was "in spec" from the manufacturer. Grrr, looks like now I get to search out a new supply...
  5. 3m 8518

    I think I read that they changed the liner to something much thinner. I've gone through 2 rolls of 8518 this month and both seemed smaller diameter and the liner did look thinner. FWIW
  6. Possibly greatest elec. guitar solo ever? PRINCE!

    Wow, so many to choose - much depends on the listener's taste, and the version of the song. Led Zep - stairway, SRV - Tin Pan Alley, the list goes on. However, I think Tommy Emmanuel is not nearly as well known as he should be (outside of guitar circles that is). I really don't think he's...
  7. In need of Bucket Truck

    I realize this is a pretty broad question, but how bad does owning a bucket truck affect your insurance? (per year?) I've thought about getting one, don't do a lot of high up work, and can hire one in as needed. Still, the thought has crossed my mind for the potential.... :)
  8. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    UPDATE: OK, just got off the phone with my local branch rep who has told me this is not an isolated incident. I had sent him samples last Friday of a piece of old stock, vs. the new material. Apparently, a mistake was made at the manufacturer and the stuff I and many others have gotten is the...
  9. Basic Essentials to start a Signage Business

    If you're being honest, then I would focus on the tools and equipment that you have some knowledge about and forget the rest for now. I don't know how to make channel letters, bend neon, or the first thing about running a CNC router table - therefore I don't have that equipment. If the need...
  10. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    C'mon, would you expect them to say anything different? :wink: No really, this stuff is different - WAY different. Just mailed my samples to my local branch and we'll see what they say.
  11. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    Nope this box is clearly labeled "KEY" and the inside of the tube has a decal with "KEY" 13 oz gloss. I wish it weren't so, but if this is what KEY banner is and will be from now on, I'm looking elsewhere. (This was the main reason I switched to KEY from Grimco and stopped buying PEAK from...
  12. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    No, not seeing any issues with printing - just the overall feel and characteristics are "lacking" vs. the old stuff. I talked to my local Grimco branch and am sending them samples of the old stock and the new. They supposedly haven't heard anything about this...uh-huh. :wink:
  13. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    Hmm, I will go look at the box - but I know it says KEY on the side. Will be right back. . . . *NOPE - clearly marked KEY Banner, 13oz gloss.
  14. Question for users of Grimco's KEY banner material...

    Long time user of KEY banner from Grimco - 13oz gloss primarily. Just got a new box of 54", noticed it no longer comes in the round cardboard tube, but a box with plastic cores, much like vinyl. Also noticed it feels flimsier and thinner than the previous version. FWIW - I ran a 4x10 banner...
  15. Anyone using a NITE bulk ink system with Mutoh ValueJet printers?

    Just an update; It appears the NITE cartridges have the ZIF chip slot and ribbon just slightly off of where it should be. (Anybody with a Mutoh VJ knows how picky they are about placement of those ink chips.) I've got one cartridge that works most of the time, and you can clearly see the...
  16. Still having issues with red

    You are not going to hit "cardinal red" from the Oracal swatchbook perfectly. I've got my Mutoh 1204 printer dialed in and can come very close - but will never be as deep and dense. *Here is a sign I finished this morning as well as some decals...
  17. 2 thumbs up for Summa technical support

    Yup, Summa rocks and I must say the few times I've needed help their CS has been outstanding. Like you said, just a few rings, real person on the other end immediately helping with my problem. Doesn't get any better than that and the reason I'll never buy another brand of cutter.
  18. Anyone using a NITE bulk ink system with Mutoh ValueJet printers?

    It's OK and I appreciate your reply. I emailed NITE last Saturday and got a reply last night from Stanley. I hope he'll be able to come up with some kind of solution as I got Gary at Circleville Signs to buy a system also and he is having the exact same issues as well.
  19. Boo... Grimco won't be carrying Oracal

    The thing you have to keep in mind about Fellers is that you have to ask your "local" rep for discounts below the catalog prices - the "phone" rep can't do it. So make a list of the things you use most often and contact your local rep and ask him/her to quote you their best price on those...
  20. Boo... Grimco won't be carrying Oracal

    Stacy, Fellers is where I buy my Oracal. I would think they have a branch near you? What he said, lol.
