  1. signab 8 general question...

    We run our engravers off a program called "Vision Pro" which is a re-branded copy of engrave lab, which is very similar to signlab. we recently upgraded our computer that was running windows 95, we were always told that Vision Pro 5 wouldn't run on anything newer than Windows 95. New...

  4. Weeding digital print vinyl vs reg vinyl?

    i have the same problems when using Oracal 3651, it is a bit of a pain having to "weed and poke", but I have found that if you wait 24 hours after cutting before you weed it helps alot, I know it's not always an option though.

  6. 1k misprinted business cards

    the local print shop gives us a bunch of mis prints and we use them for paint filling engraved brass plaques. they work very well for squeegeeing paint into the letters.
  7. was just browsing through a customers site and saw this

    I was thinking the same thing, it might make it easier to remove when the car is sold.
  8. Printing media 101

    we are not a high volume shop either, I've had certain colours sit in the printer for up to 5-6 months without any problems. that being said, there is no real cost savings of buying the 440 cartridges, it's just less changing out. also, I would recommend sticking with original roland ink, for...
  9. Printing media 101

    Don't forget when you lay out your floor plan to accomidate enough are area around the machine to load the media from the back and make sure that the ink cartridges are not going to be in the way and get accidently bumped (they are on the far right side of the printer and extend about 14 inches...
  10. just got the new Seal 54 EL laminator

    Craig: just out of curiosity, what advantages does this machine have over our current laminator, a Seal 62 ultra S?
  11. Installation

    Not sure about in the states, their website is http://www.band-it-idex.com/en/index.html
  12. Installation

    I think the Band-It system would work quite well for this, it's the same system used to attach street signs to light and telephone poles. use some type of padding between the strap and the column. the straps come with little clip type attachments with a pre drilled and tapped hole, find an...
  13. Printing media 101

    yeah that has always bugged me, difference in manufacturing cost can't be more than $200 for a bit more metal and longer wires and ink lines.
  14. Printing media 101

    Not sure if it is still the case but the SP300V does not have adjustable head height like the 54" machine does, it's not a feature we use very often but it's handy for thicker materials and that pre-grommetted banner material.

  16. Importing GS6000 from US to Canada

    Maybe it falls under the NAFTA agreement? is it manufactured in North America?
  17. Printing media 101

    We had a 30" machine here for 3 years before we got our 54", sure it was a bit of a pain doing 4x8 sheets but it's easy enough to manage. as for media, I would recommend getting a very cheap vinyl (Rite Media from All Graphics fits the bill) for any coro signs, it's nice and thick so it's easy...
  18. Pricing Stencils

    we cut these on our laser engraver out of 0.020" mylar material, for something that size we would be around $12 - $15 each for that quantity, mind you it's a much easier process with the laser, they come off the machine ready to be shipped.

  20. Laser cut vinyl?

    it can be done but there are a few things you have to do, first off any PVC product (like vinyl) can harm the inner workings of your laser when cutting, I wouldn't reccomend doing any large amount of this. second, I would mask the vinyl with transfer tape and cut in multiple passes so you don't...
