  2. 1974 mustang templet where to get one

    I do the odd templates with Google. http://www.mustangspecs.com/years/74.shtml Now find a profile pic and scale it using the dimensions in the link. Never have to leave your office. Using a wheel diameter to scale up works great too.

    They've been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch since noon today.:ROFLMAO:

    You sir are correct!(Ed McMahon from Johnny Carson)
  5. Heat Transfer Vinyl

    If you want a soft "hand" to the fabric after applying a transfer it ain't gonna happen. Only way to get the "hand" of a screen print shirt is to screen print. period. Also none of the materials are cheap. We use Eco-Print from Imprintables Warehouse. Prints and cuts great. Looks nice when...
  6. Finding Experienced employees

    Rick makes some valid points. I've been asked what qualifications an employee should have before I'd consider hiring. My response is always the same. I'd base my decision on attitude and personality first. Any experience they bring to the table is a bonus. I can train them what they need to...
  7. Finding Experienced employees

    NWTC. Programs within degrees are driven by the employers needs.
  8. Finding Experienced employees

    Not from our college. Students in the program know how to design and produce work on Roland Eco-Sol and UV printers, HP latex, HP Indigo 5600 digital press, Epson wide format and cut vinyl projects. In fact there is a class called Wide Format. Last year the class project was wrapping a...

    Go to your local technical college that has a graphics/design/print degree. Problem solved. At our local tech college to graduate you must complete an internship. Perfect way to see if someone is a good fit.
  10. Roland Problems

    Here's what I think. Printer was running fine according to what we were told. Then a different ink was installed and the banding started. Could be a coincidence that the captops failed right around that time, but I doubt it. It may have been the new ink that caused them to fail. Some of...
  11. what is a 10 year old Roland Versacamm sp 540v worth?

    I have the exact rig. I'm thinking 5 or 6K for mine that's fully functional. Still puts money in my pocket everyday. I've been wrong before though.LOL

  13. Max Metal vs Mother Nature

    ACM is our go to for anything outdoors.
  14. how to wrap a bottle

    Paint then graphics on top. Plasti-Dip from Dip Your Car would work too. Powder coating is another possibility. Multi-piece graphics are the way the super trick helmet graphics are done. Once they're applied they get "buried" in clear coat so you can't feel the seams/edges.
  15. easiest way to cut 1w inch signs from coro

    Using a router table and a top bearing flush trim bit you can make a jig with a lazy-susan turntable. Takes a bit to set up, but you can punch out circles quite fast. Note: you have to cut squares first. If I knew where my jig was I'd post pictures. My shop is becoming the Bermuda Triangle...
  16. illuminated sign covered with calendered vinyl?

    Time for a new panel. Just went through this with a client that brought me panels to reuse. Told him I won't reuse old panels because they could fail. As he walked past his truck he bumped a corner with his hand and a big chunhk of the panel fell off. He told me to get new ones.
  17. HELP my vinyl on my Versacamm keeps running to the right

    Drifting towards the control panel if I understand correctly. That means Linear calibration is off. Just did mine minutes ago. You'll have to get into the Service Menu. Couple a clicks and Bob's your Uncle. If it will not allow you to do the Linear Calibration then do a sensor check. If...
  18. today on a very special "what's wrong with my printer?"....

    Gino makes some good points. I think you don't see many people posting their wares anymore because it turns into a petty b!tch fest. Everyone has their opinion and it is just that an opinion. Very rarely do you see members commenting about kerning or what constitutes a readable sign. Nothing...
