Theres a difference between stealing, and what he's suggesting... Albeit a small one. Ever download a mp3? Or watch a youtube video that wasn't from the creators channel? Or stream a show from an un-official source? Thats the same thing that's going on here... If you steal a loaf of bread...

I was told hemming tape is the best tape to use. Also known as fabric tape... it's really strong. Havent found it cheap enough to be of use though. Usually we just use hi-tack vinyl and it lifts it right off. I can't see packaging tape working, it's not strong enough... could be wrong though...

Legal, no. Will you get in trouble? Probably not. All these companies hand out stickers with their logo, it's free advertising for them. So long as you don't sell it, our act like they're sponsoring your friend, I see no difference between you printing and putting the sticker on, or you...

It worked pretty good. I could rub it off with just a cloth... I tried to use a bit of alcohol but it made no difference. I then used my plastic scraper and it came up with pretty much no / minimal effort. Test Test I think it'd be perfect for small 1/4 inch belt prints from full bleeds. I...

We go through probably 10-20 rolls of 3M per week. Using everything from Prismatic street sign material, to wraps / normal signs. Even their cut vinyl. I've been here for 2 years... and in them 2 years I've seen 1 failure, and that was something we laminated moments after it got off the...

Sounds like the cutting strip is bad... Usually its the starting side that goes first. Is the strip smooth? Or does it have a bunch of deep cuts / gouges in it?

We do it all the time... I think it depends on the Material. On 180 it cuts and weeds perfectly. Laminated better than non laminated. On some cheap stuff I recently tried... It'd either be not cut enough to look good, or cut too much that it'd fall out mid cut and cause a jam, ruining all the...

I've heard people use dry erase laminate, and the ink wipes right off of it with no effort. I've been cleaning our belt a lot lately too, and was considering this. We don't always do full bleeds.. but it's a pain when we do. I was thinking of dry erase laminating a section of the belt, and...

Arlon doesn't seem too popular in Canada... It's one of the ones I wanted to try though. I think 2 of the smaller places carry it... and only limited styles. I'll do some price comparisons and maybe order some this week! Do you carry all brands? I've been meaning to place an order with you...

Does this include brands like Avery / Oracal, or just the "No name" brands? Our shop usually sticks to just 3M... I'd like to try something different for home though. I was thinking of Avery / Oracal, but of course I don't want to send it out and have people pissed off it doesn't last as long as...

Are you using OEM ink, or aftermarket ink? We usually wipe down with alcohol or methanol... Never had a problem. We use a HP Flatbed though. Coroplast has different grades... The cheaper stuff isn't made as good, and wont be as contaminate free. Maybe try a different brand of coro, see if it...

Do you know the material of the vinyl though? 180, IJ35, etc? Different vinyls have different uses... I'm presuming if you purchased it from someone on here, you told them you're use and they're setting you up with the right vinyl. But Some vinyl is easier to apply than others... For instance...

I'd say your more likely to stretch the vinyl if it's done by hand, than by a laminator. I cant imagine doing so many by hand.... What material are you getting it printed on? I'm presuming the pieces are coming laminated?

Everyone starts somewhere... It's not the funnest task, but if you can make some cash on doing it, nothing wrong with that. I'd print your signs a little bigger - Apply the vinyl to the substrate, then flip it over and use a box cutter to cut the excess off. Don't need a straight edge or...

Skip to 3 minutes... This is what you want to do to hundreds of signs. If you have no choice...go for it, but I think if you're printing these signs for a customer and want them to look good, you need to go oversize and trim them.

Do you have a laminator? Mounting these will be very time consuming. Even if you had a table applicator... a laminator will be even longer. As Signosaur/GVP said... I'd look into a direct to substrate printing. They're not trying to be dicks, just prevent you from taking on too much and wasting...

How do you mean dropping out? Can you post some pictures? Has a tech looked at it?

I don't use versaworks so it may be different t. Onyx sends a separate cut file to it's cut server. What I do when I accidently deleted something is I reprint it as PDF.. then just load up the PDFs registrations and use that to cut the vinyl. May be completely useless for versaworks... But...

The ebay blade tools are awesome. I have like 4-5 of them. The blades are good too - They cut just as well as the official blades... They do dull a bit faster, but at $1.50 a blade, you can switch them out every week (Mine last months) and they'd still be cheaper. The only issue I have with...

We use 180 with 8518 overlam for a few hockey teams. it lasts a whole year when we change them out to a different design. It all depends on if you're wrapping the whole helmet, or just putting a small decal on. Don't need anything too strong... not like they do full on contact in 6th grade.
