  1. QR Codes - deciphering to vector

    Putting the ones we're making here on a fleet; so that people can click through to special promos that are offered through that special link.
  2. Is there a specialty vinyl for this?

    see info here & check your insurance: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67625&highlight=airplane
  3. new printer

    I have an SP540 & a GS6000; much quicker & EXCELLENT print quality at the faster speed. The SP540 can print quality; but it's SLOW. I like the ability to print wider also.
  4. QR Codes - deciphering to vector

    I just talked to a local social media promoter & that additional info is IMPORTANT: Just taking the end user to the intended website is not all there is to this QR business... The whole goal is to get more info to the customer, but since the whole concept of social media is new to most people...
  5. Is there a specialty vinyl for this?

    IIRC there may be special requirements for aircraft graphics specified by the FAA or whoever... If regular vinyl works I would recommend some "really aggressive" adhesive vinyl.
  6. Oracal or MacTac reflective material?

    3M, pricey but quality.
  7. What to do.... oh, what to do..........................

    These work, but you have to get a permit. Most sign companies don't want those nuisance pigeons pooping on customers' newly finished graphics job. http://www.gemplers.com/product/RABB/Bird-Bangers-15mm-blank-launchers-100-box-ATF-PERMIT-REQUIRED Oh, we were talking about turkeys at your house...
  8. Printing Engine Turn

    I don't see how printing this in any way would make it "turn" as real engine turn does as you look at it from angles... does it?
  9. Digital printing issue

    Your RIP should have an option for double-printing the image. Using translucent white vinyl over clear acrylic is my favorite way to make the face.
  10. EdgeFX Printing on Clear for Backlit?

    We have an EdgeFX & I are planning on using it to print graphics for a local pizza joint. The rooftop cans are a translucent white material, so I was going to Edge onto 3M Imagecast Clear. My question is - for the best colors, do I use the "trans red" or regular "red" for backlit applications...
  11. gs6000 print bad jpeg

    Everything seems to print excellent when printing through colorburst for me... EPS, JPEG, TIFF, PDF, ETC. Could your JPEGs possibly be in CMYK, or too high of a bit-color format? That's my only thought.
  12. Plotter for my Epson GS6000

    I share your frustration with this setup. Also running GS6000 & Graphtec (no-reg-mark-findin) plotter. I gave up on it & register it manually now; PITA. Even then after a couple plots I have to re-register & fix feed before continuing. Support also sucks through our supplier; quoted me $500+...
  13. Making Vehicle templates

    Buy the "Car-n-truck Pro Vehicle Outlines for a couple hundred & be done with it. Saves hours of work weekly even on small decal jobs. Customers don't have to bring a truck by to be measured. All work can be ready when they arrive one-time for installation. I made templates for years; it sucked.
  14. Loading/Locating Vinyl Pallettes?

    Figured it out, there is a seperate program called PALman that manages the pallettes. Now, I just have to create them all... :(
  15. Loading/Locating Vinyl Pallettes?

    I am using Omega 2.51 and have my 3M & Gerber vinyl & foil pallettes loaded, which makes it a snap to know what vinyls/foils are required for a job when it comes back up again. The problem I have is, we also use other manufacturers vinyl (Avery, Oracal, etc) on some jobs, but I have to tell...
  16. oval shaped magnets

    dies themselves are relatively cheap ($25-$40 usually) themselves, however what you are pressing the die with can get pricey & you have to make a mount for the dies for this machine also to accept the dies from your manufacturer. We used a press in the body shop with a die with a custom mount at...
  17. E450 Ford Template

    Car-n-Truck Pro Vehicle Outlines has E350; 450 should be the same besides suspension... Now if you're talking about a custom cut-away vehicle (like an ambulance, box truck, etc) then every manufacturer is different. You may have to make your own template using parts of multiple templates from...
  18. TecJet 5500 Plotter?

    ??? I have a Roland SP540v & a Epson GS6000 at work, just wanted to see if this would be useful for anything small.
  19. TecJet 5500 Plotter?

    I saw a local ad for a cheap plotter, but didn't know if it would be useful for anything or the quality of its prints. It is a CalComp TecJet 5500, bought from an auction from a blueprint shop. truns on with no error messages but owner has no software to drive it. He is asking $100 for it. Is...
  20. System Error 32

    I really sprayed the dust out of it with compressed air canisters & it seemed to do the trick. Couldn't see the sensor mentioned, but must have cleaned it off, as it's back to being happy now! Thanks guys! :U Rock:
