  1. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    I had to use 2 of these units a few years ago when we had issues with our rooftop unit going on and off. never knew when I might come in with absolutely no heat, so we kept those on low when we were not around, but the electricity bill skyrocketed..so we bit the bullet and had someone come in...
  2. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    We run natural gas with one of those indoor gas heaters that blows dust and crap everywhere and sucks $$$$$$ Last winter I decided to put in a 20' tube heater and it has been great. I am pretty sure the gas bills have gone down, but better than that it is a lot more comfortable in the back...
  3. Instant one media? anybody use these 2 products?

    I see a merchant member here selling laminate at the lowest price I have ever seen.....Any reviews on this material?
  4. Taking my dog for her last walk around the lake.

    Always tough to do, but you know your doing the right thing for him. We become so attached to these fantastic animals......goodbye's are very difficult. My thoughts are with you.

    What license do you have? an HST number? I have never been approached for a business license from my municipality..... Might be best to keep my mouth shut:Big Laugh
  6. jv3-130spII - printing is skipping/stuttering etc...

    I also found with lower heat settings that you would need to laminate as the ink never really adhered as well as higher heat settings.
  7. jv3-130spII - printing is skipping/stuttering etc...

    True but he was just getting head strikes from what I read. never saw any pics
  8. For Our Canadian Friends

    yup all true!!! BTW sorry
  9. jv3-130spII - printing is skipping/stuttering etc...

    You need to set your heads to high. The print quality is not as good but not that noticeable. I had the same issue when the machine was new 7 years ago. My dealer for whatever reason refused to move it to the thick position with BS stories. Still not sure why they did that. Best thing...
  10. Oh no it's one of those days....lock up leave fast

    OMG I didn't even realize the date!!! usually it is Saturday the 14th that makes trouble for me...hehehehe I used the first version I ran and only when you scrutinize it in direct light does it look a little wispy in places.... Good thing retractables generally don't have light...
  11. Oh no it's one of those days....lock up leave fast

    I have an order for 2 retractable banner stands that are due today. One is French and one is English... Both are a full 300 blue spot background with some white copy. The forst 2 I ran earlier this week looked really washed out or ink starved and I think my heat settings were too high so I...
  12. Uh...this sucks - Flexi nesting??

    I think I have experienced that, but found that when items are grouped trouble is not far behind...... So I guess it printed all the registration marks but only cut the original before nesting....That blows
  13. printer stops printing in the middle of a job - Flexi program manager shut down

    who knows... it was basically the first print of the day so I would think my ram was ok on a vectored file. I generally see issues if I cut and paste a large bitmap, but have not done. I will chalk it up to just being a typical day in the print industry.:banghead:
  14. printer stops printing in the middle of a job - Flexi program manager shut down

    I have no clue how this happens but about 50% through job I come into the print room and I see the Mimaki flashing which means to me it is waiting for information. When I check Flexi the program manager has shut itself down with no warning at all and when I start it up again there is no...
  15. Avery wrap laminate dol1060 vs dol1360?

    1360 rated at 4 years 1060 at 5 there is a 1460 available too but it does not come as a bundle package from my dealers.....
  16. Avery wrap laminate dol1060 vs dol1360?

    I want to buy a bundle of Avery wrap film, but the seller says there are 2 laminates available...a 2.1 ml and a 1.5 ml. The thinner laminate is $50 cheaper but she says it is used for more complex curves.... I then asked, so why is it cheaper and why would anyone buy the thicker lam for more...
  17. A request for help from a non-member

    I think it is basically a photographic process. All I know is I gave them a slide (1" x .75" ? maybe) and they blew it up to 48 x 72 and it was just pure..... Here look at this
  18. A request for help from a non-member

    How do we know how the original files looked? Maybe I missed something here. If the original photos are really high res than a duratrans would definitely be the way to go. I did a series 48" x 72" duratrans many years ago for a snap frame light box for a cancer ward in a hospital and we...
  19. Tape measures...how many is too many?

    They seem to vanish almost as frequently as blue stabiles. I always look out for sales on them and grab a bunch. I now look for the versions with very large type for older guys who can't see to well:smile:
  20. just unbelievable.....

    It's as the poster below you says...they ran a piece of vinyl back through the cutter that had already been cut. The strange thing is that all the cuts in each letter are the exact same letter. Almost like a duplicate was placed and was not noticed or invisible. Once they saw it they decided to...
