  1. Where to buy the brown tension rubber bands for R/S laminator reels

    Contact your supplier and they can contact Royal Sovereign. I once had to replace the felt washer that is part of the take-up reel tension system. Went that route and had no problem.

    Welcome from Québec, Canada!
  3. Need Help Graphtec stopped working due to static shock, HELP!!

    This brings me back.... I blew the mainboard twice in one month on my first plotter (back in 1998). It was a Roland camm-1 24". I was running it at my house. Gas heat during winter gets the house pretty dry. I paid for the first board and it was guaranteed for 30 days. Second time i blew it it...
  4. RIP Files to a SSD drive or mechanical type?

    I built my last computer almost 5 years ago. It has an SSD as the main drive (Operating sytstem, Programs and ripping) and is paired with a standard 7200 rpm hard drive for file storage. It still rips incredibly fast. It is now time for me to upgrade the home computer, so like i always do, the...
  5. Question The new Roland Tru vis

    Says the guy who sells HP and Mimaki. Lol!
  6. MDO or ACM? When to use what?

    I hav e been using ACM over MDO for a while now. It is nice to not have to do any prep work and go straight to lettering/wrapping the board. But personnaly, i do prefer MDO. It adds allot of structural strenght once you screw it to a wood frame. Your screws end up flush to the surface instead...
  7. How we clean screens at FireSprint

    I actually miss the smell of that liquid film! I screen printed from late 80s to early 2000s. Mostly on coroplast and MDO (using enamel ink and paper cut stencils) Always got a kick out of washing away the film and getting a nice new screen ready for a new design... Don't miss working 12 hours...
  8. Paint coming off of trailer - what to do?

    That's going to need an acid wash and repaint (or wrap). There's no way you are going to clean off 8-10 year old chrome vinyl and have the surface ready to "re-letter".
  9. Discussion Pre 1980 brushwork of all kinds.......................

    Just took a picture of a sign that is on my wall. This is a sign i did around 1990 - 91. It is reversed painted on clear acrylic. Advertising agency supplied us with a color mock up mounted on foamcore. I had to put it in a projector to bring it to size. Traced it on paper and carbon copied it...
  10. Need Help Does anyone know if you can use an adhesive on a silicone sealant to help your graphics stick?

    The solution is to do it properly. Frosted vinyl over glass. Not over silicone.
  11. Just In Been hearing about this...............................

    I have been surprised and disappointed that this hasn't been a subject on here. I guess it isn't sign related. But what has/is happening has allot of consequences attached to repealing Net Neutrality. Thank you Bannertime for your post! :clapping:
  12. Avery Failures Return

    How on earth do you not need to laminate if the material was top coated before printing? That's BS. I use MPI1105 and DOL1360 lam. Installs great and performs well.
  13. Exacto Blades Not Sharp Anymore

    I prefer working with #11 type blades. I hate the X-Acto brand ... I have been using Grifhold brand blades for many years. Way better.

  17. Canadian Government Building Signage

    Hey guys. Anybody know where i could inquire about purchasing this type of sign system. I need to quote on a government sign like this for one of my customers who is a contractor doing a job for a government department. Thank You.
  18. Discussion So, how many are gonna...............................

    People that are kneeling are protesting police brutality not the military. IMO people have the right to protest. But when you do it while on the job i respect the right of the employer to act as he/she sees fit.
  19. Subscription Based Software

    I don't sync my fonts with Adobe. What i have in my system is what i use. (i also have a large inventory of fonts not installed but can easily access) The odd time Adobe will prevent me from saving a file with a certain font because of licensing issues but then i just covert to oultines. The...
