  1. Tariffs

    :D They probably would have stopped him - Because it is illegal, and has been ruled illegal many of times before. Everytime A past administration has tried to tariff our lumber... It went to the WTO who ruled in our favor, and USA was found to be breaking NAFTA. They had to pony up a pretty...
  2. Tariffs

    The majority of people are sheep. If they read one thing...they take it as true. Or if their friends say something, they want to be a part of the group so they go along with it. Most of the civil war stuff started with the media - There's been a few polls out saying 40% of people believe a...
  3. Tariffs

    I couldn't agree more. Thats why when Trump declared Canada a national security threat so he could add Tarrifs without going through the proper channels, A lot of Canadians felt like it was a huge slap in the face - from that moment on, it seems 90% of canadians have held a grudge against...
  4. PVC free adhesive films

    Non PVC Film is new, and not as wide spread used right now... so it's going to cost more. Material is like 20% of the cost of a job for us.. so while it is a big hit, we usually charge the clients that want it more, and it makes up for it. I don't think it really helps the environment TBH. You...
  5. Tariffs

    It always cracks me up how these threads turn out to be. Remember in high school when they taught you guys how to have debates? It's health to see the pros and cons of every situation. These days 90% of people have a thought and refuse to change their mind... Every thread is either Trump is a...
  6. Onyx Cut-server double line?

    This comes up pretty often. It usually happens when you're cutting something with a transparency, such as a PNG. The cut color gets copied into the transparency and this creates double cut lines. If you flatten your image, it'll go away 99% of the time and only do 1 cut line.
  7. PVC free adhesive films

    IJ48 is about 20% higher than IJ40 in canada - 480 is about 15% more than 180. It's not much more at all... I actually consider them better material, Since it's not plastic... I find the 48/8048 version doesnt shrink at all where as 8508 does.
  8. Tariffs

    Tarrifs are a gamble. You're pretty much playing chicken and hoping the other country will cave first - They don't always work, and it's impossible to know in the short term if it's a benefit, or if it just made things worst. That works in either direction - tariffs almost always have short...
  9. Best Proofing methods for wallpaper prints with bleed?

    https://www.sketchappsources.com/free-source/1907-vistaprint-gift-certificate-sketch-freebie-resource.html Something like this? We usually do something like this on proofs/artwork customers send us.
  10. PVC free adhesive films

    Ij48c with 8048 is great for wall wraps/floor decals/ etc. Ij480/8528 is great for vehicle wraps. I'm only.familiar with 3m brands... But we use them a lot with no failures.
  11. Hp 560 or Epson s60600

    I'm a huge latex fan. We got rid of our solvent for one. That said, Solvent heads don't die from printing - They die from old age/head strikes. The "Average" life was 5 years.... Yes, some people can get 10, but thats rare. And nothing beats printing a $100 banner, getting a head strike and...
  12. You need an E-mail provider checkup

    Curious, how many of you still use hotmail/yahoo/gmail address's as your business email? I always chuckle a little bit when someone has a nice website setup... then for contact information its signcompany@gmail.com. If you have a website, 99% of the time your host will setup unlimited e-mails...
  13. Hp 560 or Epson s60600

    I find it fascinating people talk about certain machines like they're useless/garbage. Whether it's because they've had a lemon machine... Or they're just using different technology... It's like Mac VS PC, just because someone prefers one type of machine...the other type MUST be garbage. Each...
  14. advice for running small labels

    Even on our old solvent, you cant print small text too clearly. These are wide format printers... not fine detail printers. 3 pt font is 1 MM high... thats pretty demanding even for a desktop printer. Try changing your color to 0/0/0/100 if its black font... having every head firing and...
  15. Question Graphtec FC 8600 change condition in the middle of cutting?

    Press condition once - Once it's done the "Step cut" conditions should show up... it's not instant. If it's doing a 48" Long line, it'll wait until its at the end of that cut, and the motor changes steps and then bring condition up. Same with a circle... if it's cutting a big circle, it'll...
  16. Desktop label maker for banners

    Have you tried putting a label on the wall and peeling it off? All the labels I've used from labelmakers tear very easy. They're thin/cheap, so if it sits on the wall for even a few minutes... it might be more of a pain to pull off. I'd do a small test on a wall before doing a larger banner!
  17. Question China Laminator

    have you even looked at shipping? Shipping that laminator to vancouver costs 2438 for the cheapest option,unless you ship it via boat by your own courier. So you're looking at - 2438, + 2868 = 5306 USD, or 6935 CAD. lets round it to about 7000 CAD after exchange rate fees. You can buy a 54"...
  18. Question Vinyl type question

    Are you.going to wrap your while vehicle using 36" media?... Or just doing some.print.and cuts? Find a local shop who will print and laminate for you. It'd probably be cheaper than buying specialty aqueous media, and it'll look better, last longer and be easier to install. If you're going...
  19. Hp 115 Latex Takeup Reel

    Yes. The 315 uses the same take up as the 115. Same as the 100/300
  20. Hp 115 Latex Takeup Reel

    It's $1000 Canadian for the legit take up reel. It works good... Call any latex supplier and get a quote. It's user installable, I doubt there's an after market take up available even.
