We use it. Generally we use 3M cast, but theres certain Avery colors we use for our customers. It's great... It lasts just as long as 3M (At least, we've had no complaints). I still prefer 3M 71xx for cutting though... I don't like paper liners. As for durability, I trust it as much as I trust...

Cut some poster board on your plotter. Or if it's for one day... Just perf cut some gold vinyl. Buy some string, and string it together. Like this - https://img1.etsystatic.com/067/0/9362050/il_570xN.752739261_k5gj.jpg It won't be the most sturdy, but it'll probably be the Cheapest, and last...

Of course the one I saw on sale yesterday is now double the price oh well. I'll wait, it's winter and not many installs right now. Think I'll give one a try though... If it works good, I'll buy the bigger versions too. Thanks for all the replies! I'm sure it's a gimmick. Maybe I'll use it...

Orajet is a decent media - Theres also two types of Calandered... Monomeric and Polymeric. Polymeric is better than mono, as it doesn't shrink as much. I believe most orajet is Polymeric... but I may be wrong, I know the Calandered we use from them is. The cheap stuff you can get for $100 a...

Are you talking about the lifting / curling? Cheaper material will do that on full bleeds. That's why most brands, including the expensive 3M Recommends leaving a white border. We always do full bleed cuts... the trick is you need to let the vinyl off gas for a long time. Let it off gas for a...

Out of the hundreds of places I put wall decals on, there was only 1 that had a problem with vinyl. Not sure what the paint used was... but it didn't stick for nothing. Couldn't even get the lettering off of the application tape. I've always heard anything that's really low voc has issues with...

Lets see... I started off at tech support when I was 18, then moved onto Networking... Sitting at a computer all day made me hate them (When it used to be a passion). I got to a point I'd come home, and do anything besides touch a computer... so I decided to get a different job. Took a huge...

They also make them bigger, if you guys don't like the small ones. https://www.amazon.com/24-Inch-Professional-Digital-Magnetic-Level/dp/B075GVSK1R/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1512748047&sr=8-8&keywords=digital+level Most of the stuff I do is small - We wrap a lot of utility boxes, CNG pumps, or...

I'd subcontract it out to another shop. Preferably a competitor I'd want to be tied up for a month, so they couldn't bid on the profitable jobs :D In all seriousness, I wouldn't want to touch it. You're not going to get it all off without damage - Whether its complete paint removal, or...

Just curious if anyone uses a digital leveler such as: https://www.amazon.com/HAMMERHEAD-HLLT10-Digital-Laser-Level/dp/B00OZHIGGE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I find when I just use a torpedo level It's never perfectly accurate. It could just be me not used to getting the little bubble...

I'd go with a manual laminator and save up until you can get a decent one. Always get a name brand, and don't cheap out. Expect to pay 3-5k for a good one. A good laminator is just as important as a good printer... If it doesn't have even pressure, you're going to ruin all your prints. I bought...

I've used the same blade for over a year. Just for weeding, to me it doesn't matter if it's full or not... It still grabs into the vinyl. For cutting I use an olfa... For fine cutting I use a 30 degree snap blade - https://www.rtmediasolutions.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/lb39h.jpg Such...

http://www.gansdigital.com/2017/01/19/x-base-is-here/?dzsvg_startitem_dzs-video0=0 I've never used this stuff, but it sounds perfect for what you need. You could talk them into a partial, or full wrap while using this stuff as a laminate... The just use any heap vinyl to cover up the print on...

To add... I'm pretty sure when i did this, it copied the pdf for each seperate page. So if you have a 1 GB pdf with 100 pages, you might be in for a world of hurt. Im not 100% sure it did this, but I kind of remembering seeing something like that and thinking how stupid it was, and being...

In onyx you can do multiple page pdfs via tiling. Go enable tiling, select submit all jobs ssperatelly, and it'll rip each page as their own job. Just another way to do it - we had a PDF that we couldn't break up because it had weird fonts and we were having issues with it. Figured out onyx...

I sadly don't get slow days. When I do, I usually book them off! Haven't had one in months though. Any free time I have I spend cleaning up after the hectic days/weeks of being too busy and just throwing scraps / trimmings anywhere I can find. Xmas is usually slow, I'm looking forward to it...

Yes, eBay. The Chinese blades don't last as long... But at that price, it's worth it. The blade holders are cheap too.. it's nice to have a blade holder for each different blade depth, so you never have to change depth for vinyl, laminated, perf cutting, even diamond grade. 1x CB09 Graphtec...

Ok, under cut line pattern I use - Up Mode = 2. This is the setting I found to be the best, and what really made a difference for me in smooth cuts. Cutting Pattern is 0. Depending on the media, you'll want to change it out. I also find if you're cutting uniform shapes, like rectangles...

A material needed calculator would be nice.. one that will do true nesting! Tell you how much feet you'd need, how much is wasted, etc. For example I have to print 1200 30" x 18" signs on 54 inch material. Most of the calculators online will only tell me how much ft I need if I print full...

How long are your cut jobs? For perf cuts I try to group them under 5 ft. Once I go downstairs near my machine I'll post my settings, on my phone right now! There was a setting I started to use that made the perf cuts perfect. Before I turned it on, and learned the proper way of doing the...
