  1. summa refuses to cut this file correctly!!!

    This is so typical...... What looks like an easy print cut job turns into an ongoing headache.... observe the file.... OK so this is what I am given.... I create a bleed cut to cut out all the shapes as I am applying it to a gemini routered white acrylic piece for mounting on a wall... only...
  2. Need your opinion - Magnum magnetic material

    I use magnum amgnetics too, and I remember that about 4 years ago they were running at about $225.00 per 50' roll. Now I see the price is almost half that....how? Have they outsourced to China? has the quality changed? Time will tell, although i still don't believe 4 magnets would fly off a...
  3. ACP from China

    I only keep 2-5 sheets at any time.... these days we get it the next day from proveer with an $8 fuel charge....and on top of that the prices keep dropping so it's best to wait for it to be on sale.
  4. ...and i thought the printer fumes gave me a headache!!!

    It's clean enough, but because of the clutter that I am constantly trying to clear up it is hard to walk around without banging into 54" rolls of something.... I even sometimes get the domino effect....oh thats fun. Here is a pic of where this vinyl congregates and causes trouble....I can hear...
  5. ...and i thought the printer fumes gave me a headache!!!

    The headache is gone now, i guess they finished...Ironically this happens the day I bring in a guy to put in a powered vent for the mimaki. he been here for 5 hours and still working away.... Then tomorrow he is putting in a 20' radiant heater in the back shop!!! I can hardly wait for the...
  6. ...and i thought the printer fumes gave me a headache!!!

    He used to be when i first got him. he would sit under my desk and just let them fly...It was awful...but then the vet said try a new food and I never smell anything out of him now
  7. ...and i thought the printer fumes gave me a headache!!!

    My neighbours next door are in the construction landscape business and for the most part their unit is used for storage all year.... Today they are cleaning up the equipment and doing some re-painting . I have no idea what chemicals they are using but it stinks like kerosene in here and...

    I buy the strips from Advantage sign supply...they were cheaper than anything in canada, but that is not saying much lol
  9. Merry Christmas to us

  11. Hexis Wrap Gone Bad

  12. Mimaki JV3

    My jv3 is 6 years old and still runs great. You have to do daily maint. to keep a machine like these running well. Definately power vent it for your sake and your families. I usually run mine with the front cover open and the front open as well and I can tell you when running full coverage I...

  16. How to determine the age of vinyl

    lately I have found that Avery A6 and some general Formulations 3 ml vinyl seem to be krinkly when weeding, not soft like they should be. Weeding can at times be a nightmare... I hear that Avery has a Chinese vinyl division, so I wonder if the stuff is not being made to spec. but then again...
  17. pricing a small reflective job... i don't know

    This is a fair price..... I just wanted to add that when it comes to reflective.....with 2 lines of copy 1.5" high that would use about 4" of a 15" punched roll and the scrap left behind would probably never be used. At $16.00 per yard and up, thats a pretty expensive scrap piece and has to be...
  18. HO HO HO! Who's sending cards this year?

    I send out about 200 xmas cards.... I don't get as many as I used to. It is pretty expensive when you consider the postage. I also get custom made nut trays which customers always rave about. I might buy 20 of those and might possibly give out 18 and keep 2 for myself!!
  19. pricing a small reflective job... i don't know

    If she is she could not last a week in this business. I mean seriously, you have to fake spelling errors like those....
  20. pricing a small reflective job... i don't know

    I know you do, and I do too but what if you didn't? You have to buy minimums and then there is delivery. Is this a one time customer or do they bring you work like this all the time...is another consideration. Having said that I have under priced many small jobs like this over the years and...
