Thanks for this Jason, much appreciated. Obviously my down position is set way too low which is wasting my mat and possibly cutting the material on the wrong spot on the bit. I ran a couple of jobs recently where first few cuts were absolutely perfect (Cutting laminated prints on ACM) with...

Are cutting mats intended to be single use when using a router on a conveyer belt flatbed cutter? Should cut quality be severely affected when cutting on top of a gently used cutting mat? Does it makes sense that once cut on both sides the mat would be cut right through? (Down position offset...

Damn... that would be a tough decision! I'd tell them to pound sand, personally. If it was a big account you could easily recoup those costs, but for $150/yr....no thanks!

Are you talking about Merx or something similar? I've perused it a couple of times and have considered signing up just to be able to bid on some of the big government jobs, but never got around to it. We're already on the list of approved vendors for some of the provincial bodies but even when...

My thoughts exactly with IJ180cv3. 48 hours offgassing on a fan and still too gooey and unworkable. (Ink limits may be partially to blame) Bubbles out of nowhere that get trapped in the channels drive me nuts. What issues did you encounter that make you say Avery doesn't last? I've always...

Try closing and reopening Versaworks. Seems crazy but that used to happen to us and wouldn't accept new files until we closed it.

This, and the laminate will also probably have a yellow tint to it. Wearing glasses with the "blue light filter" on them? Try taking them off, you'll be shocked by how much those things throw off your perception of color. To the OP, I feel your pain. I can't say we've ever gotten that far in...

Keep us posted, I wasn't even aware there was a new version. (I probably won't try it, just curious more than anything) I wonder how many typos are in the new version lol....

Crazy. Yet another reason I'm glad we just switched to Avery 1105. 2 bundles in and this stuff is amazing. (Cuts/weeds a little weird compared to 3M though) I honestly can't believe I kept using IJ180cv3 for all these years, always hated it. Never going back!!

Sounds like an interesting project Chris! I feel like I've seen someone post projects like this before...but can't put my finger on it. Maybe check with Chris @ Prowraps or Adam @ Colorado Signs & Wraps? PS. Let me know if you need a price on the wrap part.....! :rolleyes:

This chit is getting out of hand.

You must be better at reading between the lines than I am..........

Welcome from Canada eh!

Thanks, I'll ask them about this. Because same as you, we get lots of "napkin art" and if I have to spend time typing all that out I may as well just do the whole damn layout lol.

Hmm. Well that's not a great start. So they're asking you to submit all the text already set up in a vector file? I can bring this up during our zoom demo today and see if that's to be expected or if the designer just doesn't know what they're doing.

Oops.........quoted my own post. Time for another coffee.........

Yeah cashflow-wise it's a genius business model, assuming their designers are good and can quickly grasp what is needed. I'd gladly pay $1k a month to have access to a designer to set up all our files, rather than have a designer on payroll. (This will be necessary eventually, but for now it...

Yes please keep us posted! I'm excited to see the zoom demo today. Did you sign up for the basic plan?

Will do! I had a chat with one of their guys yesterday that seemed very familiar with the sign/print industry and basically said they could handle all our needs. Vehicle graphic/wrap set up, setting up proofs w/ job specs for customers, then converting those into print-ready files w/ bleeds...

I came across this the other day, seems tempting. https://designpickle.com/ Maybe not the best answer if you just need the odd job set up, but I'm seriously considering giving them a shot. For us our biggest bottleneck is setting up layouts/proofs, and getting files ready to print. If these...
