I am printing a logo wall for a trade show and set the file up staggered once with 16 small logos. I then repeated it 6 times. the total distance was about 20 feet. I worked from a bitmap file. I get down to about the 94% complete and then I happen to glance at the printer and it has what...

I had the identical issue years ago with reflective vinyl. Only the parts of the striping that curved upwards to the sun had what appeared to be mold

I have a programmable thermostat for my back shop and have it timed to lick down to 60 degrees at 5pm and then back to 68 at 8 am... Came in this morning early (7:30) and the heat is on and running at 68. I went through all the programming and everything looks fine. It has a secondary time...

Plenty of shops up here that have never even heard of CAST vinyl. They never last long, but poison the well

schmootz : technical term for globular glues. I always thought it meant DIRT!!! lol Thanks

I need to produce a magnetic dry erase board 4x4, which is not an item you can buy, so in the past I have used 20 gauge galvanized steel. I want to buy a thinner sheet of galvanized steel and adhere it to alumapanel. What are some of the methods I can use to put them together without fear...

to cut the gloss and silvering down so that the cutter can read the reg marks correctly, I have actually found that rubbing the mark with an eraser not only dulls the surface but creates a bit of heat eliminating the silvering around the mark.

I'm glad I am not the only one experiencing this, can be quite frustrating.

A bright orange is very difficult for me to achieve. I did manage to get one but it required using a softer orange with a double hit. The colour was very good,but if any other colour is present, you need to figure out how to make it with a 2 pass.... a pain for sure, unless the job is worth the...

I have used this material quite a lot for certain types of jobs ( hard weeding and small letters) I generally send the pre cut graphics out to customers who apply themselves. I have learn't the hard way that high tac pre mask is a must to be able to release the graphics easily. It is a...

That dollar is great!!! Will help large manufacturers get more orders, which translates to more $$$ for signs for guys like us. Did a job for a new customer in New Jersey and quoted it in Canadian, but he payed in American..kaching!!! extra $230/00 hehehe OK it sucks for travel....

Understandable Gino, I am referring to not only paying a delivery charge, but an additional fuel surcharge when gas prices were at 1.40 per litre up here... they are now down below a dollar but that charge is still there, anywhere from $5 - $8.00 in some cases..... not right.

Seriously? maybe I will just deduct the $8.00 charge and tell them to stick it!!

I should also add that it is a rich black that we print so we are talking about a lot of ink.

I have no doubt that the bubbles contain soapy water, but it is the incredible amount of bubbles or blisters that have occurred in the freshly printed stripes as to the ones printed about a week ago have minimal amount of bubbling that is easily squeezed out with a soft squeegee. Now maybe...

I do the graphics for a taxi company that runs wheelchair vehicles. part of the graphics is a yellow and black checkerboard that runs down each side about 4" wide. When I started doing these I would print the checkerboard on white 2ml 3m wrap material and use the 2 ml lam. I just could not...

.... a bit salty too...

The Nissan nv 200 is a joke to letter. No matter what you do it looks out of whack and then you try to do the other side and use the same measurements and it looks worse...

For some reason we always get the very last minute requests for some frost on windows for hospitals, and as is said they forget and now it is an urgent rush... You ask for a measurement so you can not only quote it but pre cut and they always always always get the measurement wrong!!! :banghead:

...it figures... I have spent so much time trying to find it, but it has absolutely vanished. Checked all around the wiper area with a good led flashlight and all around the capping station. Checked the floor and all the bits around the head...gone baby gone!!! Why do I not have a spare...
