  1. Mounting metal letters to marble/stone wall

    It'll be fine. Apply a wide piece of VHB to the letter and cut around it. (it may be a bit tedious but it will work) Look at how skinny some of the lettering on vehicles is that is held on by VHB. Sometimes I will apply a piece or two of VHB temporarily for while the VHB is still fresh and then...
  2. Need help with this one

    kind of similar to this one: http://www.dafont.com/boom-box.font?text=DeLUCA but not an exact match.
  3. CMYK Charts

    Hanging on the wall with tacks. We have a printout of a full chart on matte, gloss, banner, window perf, reflective, textured floor lam, etc for customers to see how their particular Pantone color will output on our printers without any color modifications. If they aren't happy with our...
  4. Farewell Big Squeegee

    One of our installers here uses theirs for semi truck installs; says he loves it!
  5. Picking brains - reflective over compound curve (Ford fender fold)

    That's gonna be a funny one any way you go about it. I think that the knifeless tape and 3M680CR might be the best combo... but it'll still look weird most of the time going over those curves and it might take a few tries to get it "right". I think the customer might be just as happy if you...
  6. LEJ-640 Fume Extractor/Air Filter

    Here is a big hint: Solvents are heavier than air, so they go down. Ceiling / elevated intakes are never gonna do the job of floor vents at pulling the solvents out of the room.
  7. Stock Image Subscriptions

    I just got a cold call from them today, never heard of them at all until now. We just renewed our PVO subscription so we weren't interested in more templates but I was curious if they were legit or decent.
  8. Chrome wrapped Porsche 911 - Iron Man theme

    Plasti-dip the wheels. Looks AWESOME!
  9. What would YOU do with the money?

    So how much is the monthly subscription plan on the tv? Did he go to the "rent to own" place for it also? I, also, always prefer to buy the software once and own it for as long as I will need it.
  10. Ever Put two Banners together?

    I have had them sewn together a long time ago for outdoor banners. For indoor banners I would think hem tape might work, but not outdoor.
  11. Weird issues when printing fades and gradients

    I JUST had this happen for the first time EVER about two weeks ago. (Exact same circles in the radial gradients from Illustrator) I have even printed from the same artwork in the past w/o issues. I rasterized the artwork and overlaid the cut paths and everything was fine. *this was also on...
  12. short tshirt run

    It's been a few years, an dit wasn't samples I could "try out", it was more samples of the stuff already cut. I may have seen them at an Advantage Sign Supply Open House and got it from there??? Can't recall anymore...
  13. Is it time to upgade to FX

    I know I've been weighing in a lot, but also: You can buy crossover cables to convert that parallel cable to USB. That is what we run here w/o problems. We run brand new PCs on Windows 7 and Composer 4.0.X here and run an Edge 1 & 2.
  14. short tshirt run

    I have seen it, I think they will send you out a sample pack... it's been a couple years but they sent me one on request. They actually have a LOT of different cool heat press materials that are plot-able.
  15. Mimaki clogged nozzle: good cleaning trick or stupid idea?

    A brake line bleeder works VERY well if used to pull ink through the heads while they are resting on the capping station. ;) Use light pressure. It looks like your magenta was already damaged by the capping station screws, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say the black is too and now it...
  16. Edge 2-- Vinyl slipping off sprockets

    I have received a LOT of incorrectly punched rolls over the years. (the dealer will take them back) I have also had this happen with using settings like reflective vinyl when it is regular vinyl, and the machine applying too much pressure. Change the vinyl type and foil spec'd in the file and...
  17. JV33 still stopping mid print

    I only have JV3's, not 33s, but we had a similar problem where randomly the head would park and printing would stop and the printer would be sitting on local mode instead of remote. Hitting remote resumed the printing, but it'd stop after an hour or so and you'd have to do it again. It ended up...
  18. Is it time to upgade to FX

    If you have the HS15+ The Plotter Doctor can send you the replacement parts to bring it back as good as new.
  19. Looking to buy a new Graphtec. Anything coming out new?

    Just got a new Summa here, wouldn't ever think of buying a Graphtec again after using one of these. It can track a WHOLE 50YD roll for plotting!
  20. Perferated reversve print and stick is it possible?

    Fellers sells it, I have had issues with Mimaki solvent ink not drying on it and transferring to the window. I have printed on it with an Epson GS6000 without ink transfer/drying issues. It could just be a profile issue, but wanted to throw it out there.
