  1. Bubbles and Wrinkles

    You should be able to figure out the entire operation from this photo.
  2. Bubbles and Wrinkles

    Not the way to sharpen a squeegee. To properly smooth and shape the edge of a squeegee you hold another, identical, squeegee flat between thumb and fingers of one hand. Hold it flat, not like you're going to use it. Then run the squeegee to be given a new edge back and forth in any one of...
  3. Bubbles and Wrinkles

    Bubbles, like those pictured, are virtually always due to bad application technique. Bubbles being on the edge as you showed are from not completing a squeegee stroke until you're off the vinyl, not starting a squeegee stroke off of the vinyl, inadequate or inconsistent pressure on the...
  4. Printable Magnetic material any good?

    Tried printable magnetic media once. It's one of those things that sounds good but doesn't work out quite as well as it sounds. Thickness of the media was not a problem, neither was its magnetic properties. The entire feed path on my printer(s) is either plastic, aluminum, or stainless...
  5. R.I.P. Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys

    I see that you, like your understudy, cannot seem to resist being an a$$. But then the both of you were exactly the people I expected to be unable to respond in any other way. It was a honest question.
  6. R.I.P. Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys

    That's fine but it doesn't address the question. That being why does someone's notability quotient seem to determine the level of sadness at their passing? It often seems if someone has sufficient notoriety and sucks the pipe there usually are people shrieking and wailing like a Sicilian...
  7. R.I.P. Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys

    I ask an honest question and you, ill-tempered and poorly raised child that you seldom fail to give every appearance of being, somehow must act the fool. Are you so lacking in judgement and manners that you must be a d1ckhead no matter what the circumstances?
  8. R.I.P. Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys

    Why? I ask this in all sincerity. Is it more sad when some obscure ninth tier notable folds than when anyone else sucks the pipe? Again, I ask in all sincerity. I'd really like to know.
  9. how long do you guarantee your wraps????

    If 50,000,000 people believe something to be true, that does not make it true. Truth is independent of belief. I should think that people recognized that you provide something. I seriously doubt that any of them were cognizant of any difference between your product and another. At least any...
  10. how long do you guarantee your wraps????

    That should be 'If it weren't...' not 'If it wasn't..." . A bit of contention should not compromise one's grammar, eh? 'Naked eye' was a metaphor, perhaps poorly chosen, intended to mean that while there may be a difference detectible by fellow practitioners, it remains elusive to those not...
  11. how long do you guarantee your wraps????

    You just keep telling yourself that. Maybe if you say it often enough and huff and puff sufficiently, it will, as if by magic, become true. The inarguable fact is that, within reasonable bounds, each shop is pretty much the same as any other shop. It has always struck me that the desire to...
  12. Logo Opinions

    The road you take depends very much on where you want to go.
  13. I can't get the right red

    Doubtful. The OP probably meant 'color mapping' not 'color correction'. The best color, not necessarily the best match to something, but the best color, is usually obtained with no color correction. That's why, generally, one should set their rendering intents to 'No Color Correction' for...
  14. I can't get the right red

    To what are your rendering intents set?
  15. How can I tell if head is shot or clogged?

    Unfortunately the answer is a bit of a tautology. That being if you can't get it to work then it's bad. Do a head soak. Don't leave it sit soaking much more than an hour so so unless you're there to replenish the cleaning fluid on whatever it is you're using for the soak. After the soak...
  16. Logo Opinions

    This is usually heard from people who have little or no understanding of the fundamental principles of design and typography. Emphasis on the latter. They're not so much rules as guidelines. You cannot have sound design without sound typography. But good typography doesn't assure good design...
  17. Will this hold???????

    Not only the world's strongest but the world's most expensive as well.
  18. Hmmm...

    'Salomone' at first glance looks like you've misspelled 'Salmon' instead of 'Salon One'. The whole chair/person symbolic thing isn't working. If you have to have the meaning of something explained to you, do something else. Washed-out black just looks like a bad print job. Grunged black not so...
  19. Question about heat presses

    I generally run about 320 degrees. By actual eyeball observation this temperature routinely varies between ~290 to ~350 degrees. That would be pushing +-10%. With no ill effect whatsoever. I don't do much of anything at temperatures higher than this. If someone is doing just routine t shirts...
  20. Time is precious

    Of all the people that will die today, damn few of them planned on it. They're just people conducting their lives and are smacked by their particular freight train. If I were to wink out right now, what possible regrets would I carry with me when the lights go out? Perhaps you subscribe...
