  1. Discussion Copyright and tattoos

    OP brings up a good point and one I've questioned. My opinion is why would you mark your flesh with a corporate logo? Are there not other things in your life more meaningful? BTW Last couple days I've been poring over Reddit Best Tattoos. WOW!!! The level of artwork/skill will make your...
  2. Need Help Longest lasting contour cutting blade for Roland Print-Cut

    OEM Rolands direct from Japan. Worked great, zero issues. Sorry no part number. Blades went along when I sold the printer.
  3. Suggestions anyone use laser measuring device?

    I don't have a Bosch but mine will get you within a half inch or so. On flat surfaces you need a target of some sort on the opposing wall.
  4. Need Help UV printer how long can it sit

    My main concern is if the OP would need a tech. Used = no warranty and 100% out of pocket to get it fixed. But....if OP can get it for pennies on the dollar it may be worth a shot.
  5. Just In Don't cha just hate when this happens.........................

    Lucky no one got squished. Looks like the lift points ripped out.
  6. Replacement Parts for L26500

    Start with your dealer/rep and see if there is anything in their warehouse. If they don't have anything maybe they know where some are. Keep watching the Signs101 classifieds too. If you can't get parts you'll have no choice but to buy something else. Our old HP latex in the lab had some...
  7. Asphalt Art Foil, Anyone Have Experience With It?

    I've made stencils from 4mil then paint with epoxy. It's the only way you will get any durability whatsoever. One client used sandblast mask, blasted the floor about 1/16" deep then filled with floor epoxy. It was for a warehouse with forklift traffic. There are no quick and easy options for...
  8. Sponsorship Banners

    Been there done that. Banners we've done are so crammed with logos they end up super small so resolution hasn't been an issue. YMMV
  9. Discussion Looking to buy a flatbed uv printer

    May want to play around with the spot "varnish" first. You can turn out some super trick pieces. Should see what comes off the printer in the lab. Matte or gloss in specific areas gives visual texture and tactility. Of course it all comes down to your core products requirements. With white...

  11. Carbon Monoxide PSA

    Shop foreman just left. Getting the latest gas fired unit with self monitoring and alerts through the wi-fi stat. He has the same unit in his house and he can have anything on the market. I feel that's a solid recommendation. Hopefully I can set up CO alerts to my phone. Rarely leave without...
  12. Carbon Monoxide PSA

    Funny you should mention that. Going to talk to my friend about a whole house mini-split. Wife is afraid to sleep now. Figure all electric might be the way to go. We shall see. Shop foreman will be here within the hour to take measurements.
  13. Carbon Monoxide PSA

    Pretty sure the heat exchanger on the furnace split open. Shut it down last night and have a call in to a friends HVAC shop. Thankfully there's an electric unit heater in the basement and a fireplace in the living room. Maintaining 64 degrees running the unit heater and leaving the basement...
  14. Carbon Monoxide PSA

    If you don't have carbon monoxide detectors drop what you're doing and get them now. All the big box stores sell CO detectors and they're dirt cheap. No excuse not to have them. One in our bedroom went off at 70ppm. Fire department came by and did a thorough check. Firefighter said 10ppm is...
  15. Discussion Losing Weight.

    Odd with your diet, but everyone is different. One of my colleagues made the comment if either of us would get cut we would bleed gravy.o_O
  16. Discussion Losing Weight.

    How to lose weight. 1) Go for your yearly physical. 2) Look at test results and scare yourself. That is all the motivation you will need. About the time this happened we rescued a Labweiler pup. Both of us need exercise and I had to stop eating like a teenager. Dropped 15lbs and cholesterol...
  17. TR2 Ink Conversion for Roland Printers

    With news like this SP 540's and 300's will be in demand.
  18. Discussion Looking to buy a flatbed uv printer

    Mimaki in the lab at school has been great. Only issue as I recall was an ink leak. It is no speed demon but the output is beautiful.
  19. Cut Pressure

    Use quality blades. When I set pressure I not only see how easy the vinyl weeds but look for welts on the backing paper.(learned the welt thing from Summa) If you see welts there's too much pressure. This leads to the dreaded fuzzies when you peel the vinyl from the backing as it lifts the...
  20. WalMart Install 10x8 mural for $240 fair?

    OP could give it a shot and find out if it was worth it or not. My main concerns would be print substrate and paint on the wall. Too low a price for me though. Every time I bid a job I'm always thinking about loading the truck, supplies, drive time, prep, delays, unforeseen issues, install ...
