  1. picked up a nasty virus yesterday

    I can't even figure out what happened but I was surfing around from forum to forum late yesterday and then my screen starts to flicker and Boom!!! It freezes on this page with Canada word marking and this rcmp BS. You know it is fake cause they want $100.00 to free your computer....meanwhile...
  2. Dust under prints problem..

    I'm sure this device works, but holy crap $165.00? Looks like something we will all find in the dollar store soon lol... I use a tac cloth and also just a hand held wiper...yes from the dollar store and it works great. I blow compresses air through it and that gives it a static charge.

  4. what process is used to engrave a street number in brick?

    I have a client asking me about this, but I am not sure if it an engraving process or a routering process.... I have not seen the sample yet, but assume it is etched and then filled with paint.... Anybody have any idea how they are done?

  6. Mimaki rollers leaving marks on reflective vinyl

    humidity is about 50%, but like I said, I have never had this happen on my digital material, so I am thinking it is somehow related to this reflective material
  7. Mimaki rollers leaving marks on reflective vinyl

    I am printing some decals on a supplied 3M white reflective and everytime the material sits for as little as a few minutes and then you advance it forward the rubber wheels leave black marks in the vinyl!!! I never get this with any of my material I run through, including reflective..... any...
  8. Thumbs up to Oracal laminate

    I have used lots of different 3ml laminates in the last 5 years or so and ran into silvering issues that made cutting the graphics difficult as the opus reader would have difficulty reading the true registration mark. I found if something was rush and had to be laminated and cut, I would...
  9. Weeding 3M Ij180Cv3-10 & 8519 luster Lam

    I have tried to make it a habit of refusing to use air release vinyl that involves anything cut, due to these problems. Small lettering with lam especially...was never designed to be used for this.
  10. Giving away free banners and stands.

    I see nothing wrong with splitting the banner up and running a blurb about yourself....heck they won't argue with free banner stands!!! do it...just don't put donated on it or you will be looking for freeloaders
  11. frosted hell.

    I have found with some brands of frosted that if you use a plastic squeegee it actually marks the vinyl up. Not very noticeable until direct sunlight hits it....
  12. And still yet another one....................

  13. Sorry but the BS really is BS

    Pro. I did not call the BS a turd, in fact it is quite a remarkable device for those that have not purchased a laminator as of yet. It got me through many jobs and, sure, it screwed up the odd job, or I did more likely, but all in all, it was a valuable tool in my shop. Like I said I still...
  14. Sorry but the BS really is BS

    I notice in your pic that the garbage can is right next to a laminator!!!!! Don't need a BS if you have a laminator so I dont understand why you would be using it at all. I have a few here before I purchased a Seal and now I might use them for pre masking or applying cut vinyl to...

  17. question about end of roll digital banner material

    I always get caught with those lines that appear at the end of a roll of smooth banner material for retractables. The line in the material that is created from being rolled up with the final edge creating that mark in the material every 18" or so on the last 15 feet. I have heard it will go...
  18. Media Detect

    I have found sometimes my Mimaki has trouble reading the media size...usually this happens if you do not pull enough through before locking it down and hitting the "Roll" command. Some materials generally give the eye problems so I have this little led blue flashlight that I use and when the...
