It's been good so far. Best part is being able to "fire" yourself in the middle of a day because the dog wanted to go to the beach, or your motorcycle needed riding.

While I haven't tried it with Gatorfoam, if material is thick enough I cut slots and use a spline.

3M Electrocut with the poly backer works a treat for complex cuts/weeding. It also works great with the "manic weeding" method. Grab a corner, pull it back over itself and RIP! You may lose a few pieces, but I always make extras anyway. For weeding out the insides of letters or shapes a pin...

So far it's a no go. IIRC it was always an address conflict, but we can't find our notes regarding the fix.

Thanks VanderJ! I'll post results.

I'm in need of help to get back printing. I tried searching the forums to no avail. Here's the situation. My RIP computer may be shot.(it's out for repair, maybe) Good news is I have a brand new replacement with Win 7 Pro. So I figure I'll go to the Roland site and download VW, but I need...

I've had a bad cartridge make the head drip. Tech said something about pressure in the cart itself. Cured it by removing and replacing it several times. Not real scientific, but the head stopped dripping.

IIRC the 3M part number for high tack is 3690. You can buy it a yard at a time from Midwest Sign.

IMO: While you can get away with it I wouldn't recommend it. Temperature and humidity fluctuation will introduce a large set of uncontrolled variables. Everything from print quality to media buckling because the liner is absorbing moisture. Read the manual that comes with your equipment...

Whether eco-solvent or latex, modern printers from a reputable brand all do a great job. Here is a super simple way to make the decision. Which manufacturer can have a tech on site within 24 hours? All brand B.S. aside, you buy from the company that has stellar service and can get you back...

Any merchant members print on Mylar then laminate with Mylar? If not, any suggestions for a reliable source? Never had a call for this product before. Temperature spec calls for 300 F, maybe another material is suitable? I'll check with the engineer this week to see if temp is correct...

Going that route would entail a complete redo. Transom is massive and has a compound curve. I had mentioned redoing the job with the laminate trimmed to encapsulate. Have to wait and see what the owner wants to do. Fortunately the boat isn't moving for at least 6 months.

The specifics would be laid out, and need to be signed off before I do anything. I told the yard manager all the possible scenarios, and to get in touch with the owner. Best thing would be an R&R using a font better suited for the environment. If the owner insists on that specific font the...

\ Good information. All I have in the shop is Clear Shield. I would think that would work. Using a fine brush I'd have a lot more control than using a Seal-It pen.

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes. I didn't do the original job. Just trying to help the owner. Problem: Sharp vinyl corners lifting. Display font was used. White vinyl with imitation gold leaf accents. Where: Boat transom. Fix: I figure I can trim back the tiny bits that...

Our industrial labeling is charged per square inch. We have three rates depending on what is used. It took a while to figure it out, but works quite well. YMMV.

The lab at school has overhead misters that work OK. Don't want to stand too close or you'll get damp. They'd work much better with 12 to 14 foot tall ceilings. During the winter months a huge industrial humidifier is used in conjunction with the misting system. Once I get back in there I'll...

My rep just got back to me. He said the color change products were more PITA than money maker. He also said the digital print media/laminate program is going strong and won't change.

2012 or later with at least 1GB RAM for graphics. Adobe CC likes to see 2GB for graphics. My next iMac will be a refurb direct from Apple. Big savings and warrantied as new, can even buy the extended warranty. You can always check macsales.com as they are offering official Apple refurbs...

First I've heard of it. I was under the impression that Arlon partnered with SOTT from Germany for their color change/specialty products.
