  1. Cutting in to equal size sheets

    I have a challenge 3 phase 30" cutter. Mosh is right, you can cut a big stack no problem and you have to clean the blade to keep adhesive off because it will build up.
  2. Seiko Color Painter

    Any machine running solvent ink needs maintenance daily. Period. Over the weekend when you are closed and not printing or even overnight it needs to run maintenance cycle to keep ink flowing through heads and lines. I would never walk away from a screen in the shop with solvent (corogloss in my...
  3. Film Positive Printing Question

    They never look black enough to my eye either but they expose just fine. Do a step wedge test, shoot a screen or two and see. On t-shirt screens at 125 mesh (yellow), I get a good shot using unfiltered black light flourescent tubes approx. 3 inches from film at 4 1/2 minutes in a vacuum frame...

Next, have you performed a step wedge test to determine proper exposure? If you are over shooting your exposure time you can...

  9. HBD to me!

    Well I guess I'll call it the universes' early birthday to me. I have an old epson 9500 that I only use for large film for screen printing. One of the lines had dried up long ago and it just wasn't worth the cash to fix it. Scrap guy came by this morning with an epson 10600uc on his truck from a...
  10. Unlaminated vinyl prints...how long do they last?

    Depends on the art. Is the candidates photo on it? Yes= digital, no = screen print. 500 is only 50 4x8 sheets of coro. Print, slam, slice, check. No lam.

  15. Me vs The City....

    Are the exposed screws and metal bracket attached to anything other than the wall? Looks like the signs are up with French cleats. And that's one ugly wall to boot.
  16. Be careful what you put your name on...

    I'm sorry sir, but we don't have your house scheduled for burning until tomorrow, you'll have to wait like all your neighbors.:cool:
  17. Ugly truck with stupid body lines..in my opinion

    The one in the middle of the door is what cheeses my grits. I have a rather large pile of those suckers in a sac from all the removals. I charge and extra 75 bucks to pull those and clean/buff/polish the paint out to re-letter.
  18. Removing vinyl letters from vinyl banner

    Fingernail, heat gun, adhesive remover, alcohol, new date.
  19. How many fonts per sign or document?

    Too many fonts can religiously crap up a layout. We've all done it, saw and ad or vehicle, whatever out in public and your first response was "Holy crap, look at all those fonts".
  20. Dear PEPSI...I hate you!

    Are they giving him a banner or hard sign? The beer and soda distributors in our area only print aqueous based inks. Who is installing and pulling permits? When it fades in 6 months what then? Maybe there is still some work for you in it. But yes, they need to stay out of the sign business. A...
