I have a 4-5 year old RoyalSov laminator that I was searching for a procedure to adjust the rollers and found a post that said to use Plastigauge- which makes a lot of sense to me- I ordered some from Amazon. Gene

I would try the cutting strip- not that expensive and can cause strange problems. I have a GX500 and alway keep a spare on hand. I see you are from Buda- one of my old customers (tow truck guy) moved to Buda and beat me out of a few hundred dollars... and then died. Karma? Gene

I guess I took Low-VOC for waterbase. I have been wrong before (today).

Hi Signmeup- not sure if you missed my question about the brand of laser machine you use? If you prefer not to share that, I understand. Thanks Gene

Someone on this forum (I think? Never totally sure of anything anymore) posted a 3M directive on this problem- do a pull test, wash 2-3 times with IPA and try again. Gene

When I google 'RECI Z2 90 watt co2 laser' it comes up with the laser tube? What is the brand of machine? I see a 'Model: MornTech MT-L1290' Chicom 100w laser on ebay for a very good price with support in California.

If it's new I assume you are talking SP? I have a VP540 (the 'i' was a software upgrade) and it is a wonderful machine. I had a SP300 which was a workhorse too but has 2 heads- VP is 4 heads and much faster. Gene

I have been using it for a bit less than a year... learning fast (I think). Here is a blog by a *very* talented young man (aren't they all now) who just did a CNC camp using Aspire in Indiana this summer. I was in a one day class led my he and his lovely wife last summer...

What is the brand and the specs on the laser please? Are the fumes noxious? Thanks Gene

From Wiki: The National Sports Center (NSC) is a 600-acre (2.4 km²) multi-sport complex located in Blaine, Minnesota, United States, that includes a soccer stadium, over 50 full-sized soccer fields, a golf course, a velodrome, a meeting and convention facility, and an eight-sheet ice rink, the...

I get that on my VP540- I understand it to be chromatic banding (like mowing grass bi-directional?). What printer do you have- I am looking at a VSi with cmykX2 and they claim it cures this. Gene

I bought this at auction (they listed it as 54"...(tall) so for $50 I took a chance. I haven't used it (it does heat) and it is in the way. First $50 takes it. I cannot ship it. Gene

We have been using these in place of Lil' Chizelers- easier on the hands. Thanks Gene

Perhaps just not a very good business person? Pretty common now days. Gene

After wasting 18 years of my life with a Fasnap... the Stimpson is a breath of fresh air. And it is aluminum. Everyone loves it. I suspect that Hiker is built in a similar fashion- with some mechanical advantage. No wonder we broke 2-3 FSnap cast iron frames- you have to go all gonzo on it to...

Interesting Alan.

I am liking this- we have a couple of normal size peeps mixed in with the Neanderthals. The grommets we buy have the 'teeth' on the washer which I think works well... anyone use them with a Stimson? Thanks Gene

The stimpson looks a lot like the Hiker- I thought it was just a different model of the Hiker. And RC... ya we have neanderthals and this one has 15 years on it.

We broke another frame (cast iron) on our Fasnap. I keep looking at the Hikers but have never seen one in the flesh. I used to buy just the frames for the Fasnap but I don't recall where. Any advise? Thanks Gene

Thank you all- also the people who took the time to PM me and make drawings. I just wanted to confirm that I was on the correct path. I set up a grid system using the 8x16 inch blocks to locate the corners and pivot points for the curves which works well for most of the letters. Some letters...
