  1. recommendation needed for new laptop

    I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" when it comes to computers and especially laptops. My last laptop was a Compaq/HP that I paid a good chunk for and it lasted me 3+ years before deciding it was time to buy another. So, last month I started looking really hard and figured out...
  2. Training?

    Ask the shop software guru for the Gerber user manual and training guide. There is a training book that came with the software that can get you going with all the basics and some good advanced stuff. All of the command functions are also explained in the help files. I will say that it is a...

  5. recommended heat guns

    I have a Craftsman brand. I only wish it blew a little harder sometimes. But it has 3 main settings. Cold air (no heat) / Low / High - on back of head has dial for temperature adjustment and lights on top to indicate the temperature level that's actually blowing. I've had it for about 10...
  6. RIP running slow....

    Last year I installed a SSD drive in my dedicated Rip station and it makes a world of difference. Rips 350 mb files in under 2 minutes - what used to take about 10 minutes. I'm running winXP with 4gb ram and a Intel 2.83mhz quad core.

  8. 8'x14' Backlit needed

    abi digital solutions. their site is down right now for some reason. You can google them. You will be surprised at how inexpensive they are. They are a wholesaler in the Houston area that I have used for the last 10 years for Grand Format stuff.
  9. How to cut a 20ft long stripe

    Find a shop with a sprocket fed plotter and cut if you are worried. I don't really see the problem either. We run 30'+ on our Graphtec all the time. Of course, we also have a Gerber 15" plotter and would just throw it on there. All this hand cutting????
  10. Vinyl for a vinyl car top?

    mask and spray... That is what we are going to do.
  11. Vinyl for a vinyl car top?

    I happen to be dealing with something similar and asked about curtain sided trailers recently. I didn't get much response on here, but I did find an interesting solution. I am not convinced "one shot" will hold up to every day usage of expanding and contracting of the curtains. 3M sells a...
  12. Military Discount?

    +1 I usually give a very nominal discount if asked properly and I can tell it's sincere. I am a veteran of the US Navy and I know what kind of "sacrifices" Chief Jackson and others had to endure. I've got several personal friends that are recipients of the Purple Heart. I am a decorated...
  13. FedEx or UPS?

    +1 for FedEx. I like my customers getting their packages in 3 days or less. It may cost a little more, but the customer pays for it without complaining. I used UPS for 10+ years and got tired of ruined packages. I haven't had a problem with FedEx....ever.... We have a drop ship one block...
  14. Vinyl feeding into the Edge

    I have this same problems every once in a while. It has happened on older vinyl and a brand new roll. It's happened with Calon, Avery, 3M, and Gerber. I think it was a problem with humidity/temperature reaction on vinyl. We had the vinyl stored in the warehouse and it must have affected it...
  15. Edge 2 blew a fuse..

    That happened to me once. It was from a power surge. Ended up having to replace the power supply. Pretty straight forward.
  16. 3M DI-NOC vs. Oracal 975 Carbon

    I'm also curious about the Oracal...my local distributor is serving lunch today, so I was going to stop in and see if they have and of the Oracal in stock.
  17. 3M DI-NOC vs. Oracal 975 Carbon

    I priced the Di-Noc this past month and was given a quote of about $3000 for a full roll of the Carbon...a little too pricey for something I just want to "check out". I definitely have customers interested, but they also want to see it/try it before they buy it.
