I don't have a panel saw. Always had nice cuts using Oldham carbide blades on the table, and circular saws. They're cheap enough that I just replace them when they get dull.

Good point about the pattern. Trying to avoid a wet install, but that's what it'll be.

Anyone make conformable air-release clear I can print on then laminate? The ol' interwebs didn't turn up anything. Or just do the normal print on lam then lam?

Only way to do what you want is to invest in some equipment to calibrate both monitor and printer.

Would have to go back to the manufacturer for modification if the mod was even possible. Massive insurance liability otherwise.

Ha! Sad part is some folks probably forgot what day it is and want those.

Sign shop does some major work for Harley. Execs from H-D go to the shop for a meeting. Shop owner though it would be nice to put a "Welcome H-D" sign with logo on the easel by the conference room. Since they were at it made some table toppers too. H-D execs saw it and went ballistic. H-D...

Clean the encoder strip.

Not sure if this will help but another Roland to consider may be the VS540. We have one in the lab at school and that thing gets hammered. Prints great, cuts great even with all the students using it. It also gets used for a ton of promotional printing on campus. Doesn't get much...

Had an issue today with my SP540V cutting. Turned out to be a corrupted file. Rebuilt the file and it cuts fine. Although I did get into service mode and fine tune things while I was at it. Another thing you might try is turning off the power, unplug the cord then go to lunch. Be surprised...

Thanks Fred :thumb:

Calling all font gurus.

There is a way to do it manually at a drafting table, but this is easier: http://sheetmetalworld.com/sheet-metal-news/fabrication-tutorials/22-sheet-metal-tutorials/5961-learn-how-to-layout-a-cone-in-sheet-metal

"Build" your rust texture in Ps. Get Ron's Grunge Brushes(can't remember what the set is called)but it will have edges, corners etc... He also has fastener and scratch brushes. Use rust texture to "color" brush. You can get a lot of variation using the brush controls and blending modes...

Only a problem with IG panels.

Scraped this off a website: This is a trade name used in the construction industry for rigid phenolic engraving material (which is no longer manufactured), however the term is still used when specifying 2 or 3-ply, laminated engraving stock and/or the nameplates, tags, or legend plates...

For the few times a year I get the request I job them out. I am intrigued by laser rigs though. BIL's brother(?) has a shop in the deep northwoods. IIRC they had 3 Epilog lasers running just to keep up so they added a fourth and are still behind.

No clue about minimum outgas time for Epson inks. Here's a vid for the new rigs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFocZBCgXrE

According to a video I watched print to lam is only 6 hours with the new inks. IIRC correctly you can load pieces as small as 12" x 22" unlike a latex printer that needs a 42" length. Which in my case is a deal breaker for latex.
