  1. Dirty 3m 680cr?

    I took a wrap course, and that's where they said it. There was an official 3m rep there who confirmed it. I've seen splices in their non printable media, like 3290... But never in their officially printable media. We go through maybe, 15-20 rolls of material a month, mostly 180, and I've...
  2. Dirty 3m 680cr?

    I was under the assumption 3M No longer splices any of their material thats made for printing. Is your roll really old? Like.. years old? Wouldn't explain how it got contaminated, just pointing out splices don't, or shouldnt exist anymore, according to what I was told by a 3M rep over a year ago.
  3. New To Signs And Buying A Used Printer Warning 10,000 Questions Coming Soon!

    As other mentioned... Techs are expensive. If a head isnt working, you could be looking at dropping an extra $5-10,000 (Seriously) To get it fixed, depending on what it is. You could need a whole new pumping station, capping station, new head, etc. Not to mention if magenta hasnt been...
  4. Internet Browser

    Chrome. If you don't want to be tied into Google ... Get chromium. It's the open source chrome that was designed to not be google integrated. You will lose all your cookies... So you'll have to resign in to your websites. Update Ie, and you'll be fine using it with this site, if that's what...
  5. Wrap Institute

    Interesting... Didn't know this existed! I've done quite a few wraps, I can generally wrap anything I get my hands on with enough time / playing around. I've watched a few of his videos when I see them pop up on Youtube... But this would be nice to have, and it's pretty cheap. I bookmarked it...
  6. Looking For A Something Other Than Typical White Cut Vinyl

    Frosted vinyl is what we use for customers who want something a bit better than plain ol' white.
  7. Corel draw X8 vs Adobe Cloud Since New Software Updates

    Not exactly what you want.. but if you hold Alt, and press left/right arrow key, it'll kern for you. you can select the whole text space and it'll kern them all, or you can select in between the text, and it'll kern between them letters. I do agree about the art board limitation though.
  8. Summa Or Graphtec Cutter

    I've never used a Summa, but we havent had any problems with our grapghtec. It's always accurate, even on 20-30 FT runs. The only problem we have is cutting diamond grade 3M, And recently Engineer grade. Engineer grade has so much dust/crystals flying everywhere, it clogs the blade and it can't...
  9. The Things We Wrap (not A Vehicle)

    May as well throw this one out there. Probably wasnt the weirdest thing we wrapped... I'd say that goes to the mouth guard case of a co-workers girlfriend... The Kitchenaid blender was a "fun" one though.
  10. Any Mimaki Used Plotter With Crop Mark Detection For Sale!

    My equipment tech told me Mimaki doesn't make their own cutter, theyre just rebranded GCCs. Vinyl Cutter_Products GCC Laser Cutters, Laser Engravers, Vinyl Cutters, UV Flatbed Printers I havent used either though (I'm a graphtec guy), so I cant vouch whether thats true or not. If it is...
  11. Looking For This Clipart

    Here's an auto re-draw... Might save you a bit of time. Nothing too complex in that image, so vector magic does a pretty good job at vectorizing it.
  12. File Retention Times

    I store everything in the cloud. The place I work at now was running out of "backup space", Why they didn't spend $200 on a 8 TB HD, I don't know... but I convinced them to backup to the cloud. Amazon has like $50 a year... And you get unlimited storage. I have over 10 TB Backed up to amazon...
  13. Yellotools Demo Videos

    Quite a bit more expensive! To get a cutting matt, 6' x 8', on Signmakerstools it's $520. On yellotools, it's $280USD($374CAD) Even with customs, it'll be cheaper to get from yellotools. I havent looked at the blades yet though... so that may be an option! Thanks
  14. Yellotools Demo Videos

    Are the bodyguard blades a custom replacement blade, or would they be something I can find locally? I imagine they don't dull fast... Just I'm in Canada, so it'll be a pain in the butt to order replacements! Theres a few things I'll be ordering shortly... Your mats look good too. I've been...
  15. Large Photoshop Files

    Photoshop: Jpeg dimension limit? | Photoshop Family Customer Community Looks like it's a limit on the jpg standard, not on Photoshop.
  16. Large Photoshop Files

    Can you save it as .EPS? Most printers should be able to accept .EPS.
  17. Employees Are The Worst

    I don't think an employee should bypass their boss and look for answers themselves, but I see nothing wrong with employees being on S101. I've learned a lot... and received quite a bit of help. If I asked my boss why my graphtec is scanning all marks, then returning to the origin point and not...
  18. Employees Are The Worst

    It works both ways. IMO, it's more about leadership than it is about age. If you have a boss that lets you get away with murder, thats what you will do... and once everyone else sees it, thats what they will do also.
  19. Employees Are The Worst

    I just turned 30, and I'm one of the hardest workers at my place... I've been there 1 year, and know more than the people who have stuck around for 15 years. I got moved to a new position... and got 2 days training on how to operate a wide format printer, laminator, and cutter.I spent many...
  20. Employees Are The Worst

    I'm in Canada, so it may be different. Minimum wage here is $11.50. Our employer also pays for health care, extended healthcare, dental, etc. So as you can see, it's far above the $12-13 you pay. I don't know how things are in Virginia... But I think your problem might be due to the pay...
