You're worried about the wrong things. There's some actual real things about which you could worry, this isn't one of them. As long as the vinyl is pliable and the adhesive is sticky it can't help but work regardless of, or perhaps in spite of, the ambient temperature. It's not rocket...

Not quite...magnets are attracted to ferrous metal. Like most of the other brands, Mutoh's construction in the area of interest is aluminum and stainless steel. Neither of which have any magnetic characteristics. Even if the printer was constructed entirely of ferrous metal, the magnetic...

Twaddle. Either will pull my gooseneck wherever I want to go. There is no place that one can go that the other cannot, there is no load that one can carry that the other cannot. Think functionality, not how that functionality is achieved.

You are correct. Kids coming out of school have only been exposed to certain tools, Adobe being one of those, and thus tend to think that these are the only tools. When you know nothing a little bit can look very much like everything. The Corel and the Adobe products are, for the most...

I don't know specifically about a 2006 Dodge whatever but if you're desperate on most cars you can slide underneath the thing with a set of jumper cables and hook the positive cable to the huge battery lug on the starter solenoid on the starter motor. Connect the other cable to the chassis. Now...

A Forstner bit in a drill press will cut a clean hole in foam core. This is from actual experience, not theory. The smallest Forstner I've ever seen is 3/8" but perhaps there exists a 1/4" somewhere. Use slow speed, a new sharp bit, have a flat spoil board under the foam core, be sure to cut...

Just wash your hands and try to handle the media on the edges. It's just as effective and a whole hell of a lot cheaper and easier than suiting up every time you want to wrangle a roll of media.

I printed some stuff on silver vinyl a couple of weeks ago and my FC7000 had problems reading the marks... I blew the dust out of the carriage and the lens, no help there but it certainly didn't hurt anything... Then, desperate, I pointed an LED flashlight [white light] so that it lit up the...

That whole thing puts one in mind of Dr. Samuel Johnson's comment upon seeing a dog dancing on it's hind legs: "It's not that it does it well, it's that it does it at all." Halloween once was an evening where small children dressed up in whatever was available to them and went out in search...

If this second computer is on any sort of network with a machine that has Flexi installed then you can install your copy of Flexi on the second machine. You can then run Flexi on either machine but not both at the same time. You do have to run Production Manager on the machine with the hasp key...

Probably the same as the difference between hair and fur. Nothing.

You figure that the average or even above average client is going to make any sense at all out of that site? Even if some of them did, so what? What does the price of a roll of white vinyl mean to them? Perhaps you figure that once they see the price of a roll of vinyl they'll run out and buy...

That's because with gradients [and transparencies as well] there is no standard. Each package handles them in their own proprietary way. Importing gradients from package X to package Y generally is a crap shoot. Most times, if not always, you have to recreate the gradient in the receiving...

Don't be a fool, or worse, an obtuse fool.

Really? Nothing to do with what they ate? Consider why old Chris Columbus set off in his little flotilla. It wasn't to discover the new world, it was to find a western passage to the orient in order to trade in spices and herbs. The new world thing was an accident and a bit of a disappointment...

And suffered an astronomical infant mortality rate as well as dying of old age at 30.

Your life changing philtres and potions are far more like Dumbo's magic feather than anything that will produce any sort of actual change in anything via some sort of chemical magic. If your life changed then you changed it. Not any sort of snake oil. Especially the sort that promises to...

Whenever. It's best when dry to the fingertip drag test, but more often than not I coat pretty much right out of the printer. As others have noted, use a 3" foam brush. You can wash these out right after use and use them again and again. I generally get a year out of one. You can thing...

Twaddle. The standard .09mm blade is more than sufficient to cut laminated vinyl. Unless perhaps you're laminating with rolled roofing or something. More twaddle. The cutting edge on the standard .09mm blade is up to the task of cutting 4 or 5 mill media and then some. The actual cutting...

You most certainly can use Clear Shield on most any sort of solvent print. O always use it on banners and art prints on canvas as well as a lot of prints on vinyl. I seldom actually laminate a print unless it's going to be in some sort of extreme abrasive environment or there are some sort of...
