  1. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    Be sure that you ordered & received the correct version of the product. We use a lot of Real Gold here, and occasionally they send us a "cut only" roll instead of the regular material. Those rolls are a LOT thicker.
  2. Familiar Script...

    Thanks Fred! I knew it was one of the fonts I used to have installed that had multiple fonts of the same name (freehand 471/521/575), but couldn't find it!
  3. Best vector download site?

    Most of the time I have been able to use just Google search and they come up. Just type in "whatever free vector download". If you can't find it free it always seems so custom that I might as well start drawing it myself.
  4. Treated 4x4 with post sleeves

    You have to bury your posts per local code below the frost line (usually 36" around here) in cement. Then you have a few inches still underground w/o cement on them that you can sleeve to hide the sleeve end. There are caps also to make the tops look nice.
  5. Familiar Script...

    I know that I used to have it installed.... now I don't and can't find it.
  6. Onyx 11 Cutting Problem

    The other day our front Mimaki plotter/Onyx started acting up. When you send a cut file from the Cut-Server in Onyx11 it sends it to the plotter using the "default" setting for the Tool setting on the plotter. For example, if I change the pressure up to 140 from the default of 80 and save the...
  7. Vinyl Cutter/Plotter

    We have a new 48" Summa plotter here and also two larger Mimaki plotters. They are great for larger jobs, and yes they can do smaller intricate work also. However, for the smaller intricate jobs we still use the Gerber HS15+ plotters. We do a LOT of jobs with very small text for a few clients...
  8. Gerber EnVision Cable Help

    Get the Gerber cable. It is the only one that works reliably every time.
  9. Mimaki JV3-160sp - printing issues

    You're gonna have to look under a loope and see what color is dropping out. And then go from there checking/replacing. I don't know how to check, as we've never had this problem here.
  10. what is this material? thermal?

    It "may" have started out its life as "hyper plaid vinyl"? http://www.topvinylfilms.com/holographic-vinyl/hyperplaid-holographic-adhesive-vinyl/
  11. what is this material? thermal?

    It looks like a thermal print on a "special effects" film. However, I have never seen that particular film myself. The closest film that I can think of is Avery Kaleidoscope or Confetti film. it may be a material that is no longer available.
  12. Mimaki JV3-160sp - printing issues

    I would say there is a leak in your ink system, in the lines or in the dampers.
  13. Work Order / Job Flow Software or Process, what do you do?

    Our system has a dynamic calendar; that is one of the most important parts to me. As anyone at any time can change the schedule and it updates for everyone else immediately. Everything else is stored in the job details (click on the calendar entries for the full info). All costs are added to the...
  14. Work Order / Job Flow Software or Process, what do you do?

    Pat, on those little notes that are in your head on those jobs; most of those details can be put directly into the artwork file. On funky Edge jobs I put it in the composer file and on funky large format jobs I put the notes right alongside the printed art. On funky overall jobs, I try to put...
  15. Silver print on white reflective?

    I would also recommend a screen of a gray. We don't use ZeroNine foils here, so I am of no help on them.
  16. Who to blame?

    You used the correct vinyl requested. That point you are correct on. If they wanted a "high tack" vinyl instead of "high performance" vinyl then they should have specified 225 vinyl. Then you would have know to buy the correct material in wider rolls with the plastic release liner. Walls are...
  17. Work Order / Job Flow Software or Process, what do you do?

    Trello is free and worked when I had a smaller shop. We have a completely software here now, I can't see how forcing your business into a 'set' software will work for most people unless you are just starting out. Online (access anywhere) and calendar functionality are the most important parts...
  18. Looking for a burnt orange vinyl

    The 3M 1080 Series has a real nice orange close to that. (It may be a bit lighter than you're looking for, but maybe not) We wrap snow plow trucks with it...
  19. Help with making these decals

    see attachment. ALSO: DO NOT WEED OFF YOUR REGISTRATION MARK!!!
  20. Source for Bail Arm Springs?

    I need a couple new springs for the bail arms on one of the HS15+ plotters here. Does anyone know where to buy just the springs?
