  1. need a quick response about applying wrap film

    I have to basically apply a small area along the rear of a ford escape which goes over the wheel wells a bit and then over the tail light. I have the graphic ready but now sit here and wonder if I should use premask. I am assuming the rigidity of premask will make application difficult...
  2. Removing High Performance Vinyl

    these do a great job and i use this before I go to the zapper.
  3. phone lines down again!!!

    so at 4:30 a bell canada repair man comes in and goes to the phone lines in the back and says they are definately dead and says he will go out to the box a block away to look into it. he comes back about 30 minutes later and tells me that we cancelled our service. I said I am not a bell...
  4. phone lines down again!!!

    I just want phone lines...everyday regular phone lines. Voip sucks from the few calls I get from them. I can tell immediately from the sound that it is not there yet in my area. I switching to Allstream...same thing I suppose just a different name on the cheque.
  5. phone lines down again!!!

    4th time my lines are down since march 22. The worst part is that when I get in touch with those that have called the number it says it has not been assigned!! I looking for a new carrier but they all ride on mother bells back so it is all the same i am sure... Fak!!!
  6. Do You Kern?

    I just naturally will catch strange ways that certain fonts space themselves and correct them. This is mu pet peeve with Ariel...I cant beleive how much that font is used and how horrible designers let things go out using it. Phone numbers are awful in that font especially if you have a 1 in it
  7. Computer gurus - attack!

    a little off topic but when I read about viruses it makes me wonder why we hook up to the internet with any work computer these days. I should just use a seperate computer to go online and keep everything else somewhat safe, although I suppose if they are networked to share files then an...
  8. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    Well I separated all the contours from the prints and somehow even though i saved the 2 swatches as I printed the samples...something changed in the orange. I have no idea but I just spent another 45 minutes running swatches and now have found that an rgb formula with a double hit is close...
  9. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    OK now I am printing my comply film and notice pretty quickly that my orange is way off. I check my sample I printed this morning and they dont match. WTF happened? OK I hit the brakes and go back into the file and look. Yup, all the orange says 804 and it is double hitting it at 720 x 720...
  10. First time printing on mesh banner

    Depending on what you print and where they go the images can be hard to see, especially photos. We put a pool in our backyard a couple years ago and as our house is a corner lot the sidewalk came close to to where if you wanted you could look around and into the pool area. my wife felt...
  11. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    The dealer guy who works the stuff says I would lose some comply features or it would not comply as easily...who knows, but it is good to know for future jobs when colours are not easy to reproduce...like lime green lol
  12. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    who's got 2 minutes? who's got scrap? lmfao I will definately give it a try...but now I have the 2 colours pretty close matched so I am good to print. Unfortunately I did all my testing on 3m comply so I guess I have to use that and not the general formulations automark.....damn!!!
  13. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    Nah they say (nd) that the comply also has a lot to do with the adhesive so backing paper is a no go and they also said that if I laminated the orange onto the comply that I may lose a certain amount of comply...so I started running colour samples and after about 15 tries I am pretty close. I...
  14. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    I beleive you but I dont have comply backing paper so it might be best just to laminate it right on top of the white vinyl
  15. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    I have to redo a fleet of vehicles and the logo is a combo of orange and some form of greeny turquoise that can only be printed. I can match the greeny colour and because they interact with each other in every aspect of the design, ideally i want to print lam and cut for a 1 pc install. If I...
  16. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    oh I also wondered...what would happen if i laminated 2ml orange to a white comply? Would it still work or am I dreaming?
  17. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    I have searched my colour charts and just cant seem to get the richness of this colour. I have an existing client who is changing all their vehicles over to this colour and a 5415. The 5415 is no problem to match and was thinking that I can print one colour and use regular vinyl for the...
  18. Big Squeegee - laminate produces "micro bubbles"

    Although I will say it might dissapate over time it has a lot to do with the actual laminate itself. there are so many different types out there. Some take longer to smooth out. I ran some large prints about a year ago and used the big squeegee and DRYTAC laminate. Everything looked good when...
  19. how to reinstall win xp in a Dell notebook when I never received any discs?

    F-11 worked!!! The laptop was like new and slowly I will reinstall everything. First off, I screwed up when doing my backup for I-tunes.....and I was so cautious especially about those files, but I absolutley forgot about backing up any music I manually burned as it is in a directory that...
