  1. Plywood through Laminator?

    Hey Oscar, Where are you located? If you need a hand with your 62 Pro or any application questions let me know, or give my partner Harold Toiviainen a call (647) 520-8036. We do a lot of Seal support in Canada (especially the Toronto area) If you are mounting those crezone panels, there...
  2. Honest opinion on a printer ?

    If its currently printing and you can see a printhead test strip, should be good for what you want. If you need to replace heads, you might spend as much as you would have buying a newer machine. Craig
  3. Yup....another issue...nothing serious but....

    Give yourself some credit man, I thought you would never be able to laminate...and look at you go now! :) Craig
  4. OMG watch this

    Wow, thats the accident that created the traffic jam I was in yesterday morning, scary! Craig
  5. ISA Las Vegas, Who is going?

    Dave, If you are down there for a month, check the Eaglerider website as they are running some great deals on renting Harleys, last year my wife and I rented a couple of Roadglides and checked out the new bridge over the Hoover dam and did a bunch of desert riding. Was great! My business...
  6. Workflow Questions Graphtek & Signlab

    I have a quick question, customer of mine has Signlab and is about to start using a Graphtec FC7000 plotter. In the past he used Omega. Is there any advice anyone can offer as to what the setup/workflow should be for both standard vinyl cutting and print to cut? I assume there are drivers in...
  7. SEAL Base Laminator Not heating up.

    Checked with my Seal guy today, they have a quartz heating rod (I think) but the same still applies. He says the more common issue is with the wires disconnecting at the ends of the rods. Craig
  8. SEAL Base Laminator Not heating up.

    Never took apart a Base unit yet, but in most that have a metal heating rod you can remove the wires at each end of the roller and then easily pull the rod out and check continuity from end to end. I am not 100% sure if Seal uses a glass or solid heating rod in this model, but in most of...
  9. Graphtec or Gerber?

    Either is a good machine. I would not do the Gerber on its own though, as sprocketted 30" vinyl can be in short supply when you need just a bit of a certain color. Craig
  10. Rolls Roller

    Where this machine really stands out is for a busy shop that lays down LOTS of vinyl. It makes even one offs quicker and easier, but the ones we have sold were to customers where they were at a breaking point with their vinyl application, but a flatbed printer still did not seem "right" for...
  11. Just bought a Designjet 5500UV 60"

    I still sell these quite often, they are a great indoor printer. Outdoor is possible but with the slightly higher than solvent ink cost coupled with the more expensive medias, you will not be able to compete if it comes down to a sq. footage war. For many this is not so big a deal as it is...
  12. omega 2.6 Layout found on ebay

    Gerber recently did a sales initiative where they threw in a layout program with the purchase of a full copy. It does not output. Generally freebie programs from Gerber are not upgradeable. It is useful for somebody who has a full version to design at home or for sales presentations. Craig
  13. I Dare You

    That (or the simpler variation of it) was one of the first 2 signs I ever painted by hand years and years ago...the other was the typical shop rate sign with the price going up as you watch. (painted poorly, by the way, lol) It astounds me that the "free" bubble has had enough necessity that it...
  14. I need to pick one! Please help!

    If you can afford it I think the CJV is the best of the 3 you describe, having sold them all. Yes its got some extra rarely usable width, but thats an advantage. Great machine, and everyone who I have sold them to loves them. Heck...I gotta go unwrap some gifts...see ya! Merry Christmas. Craig
  15. Can a laminator apply vinyl cut lettering?

    Hey Barry...glad to see you are spending time getting to know the ins and outs...Harolds away this week, so make sure to not stray too far from your comfort zone! (kidding) Talk to you soon! Craig
  16. Edge stalling...Tony you out there?

    Any chance you are running multiple dongles or an old parallel dongle with a printer installed on it? I have even seen people print through their dongles with an old edge, but 99% of the time that can cause issues. Full of temp files maybe/ more than likely, its what Tony was dealing with...
  17. Gerber Sabre 408

    Excellent machine, nothing bad to say about them other than do not ever consider a tool changer, but otherwise a great machine. The vinyl cut blade is a waste of time too, routers are just not cut out for vinyl cutting. The V-carve bits are a bit pricey, make sure they though some in if...

    Hey Buttons, Anchors? The tattoo parlor? Give me a call anytime! Craig
  19. New guy from ontario

    Heya Mike, Welcome from another Ontarian. Enjoy the forum, its a great source for knowledge and inspiration. (Ok, I get inspired, realize I have zero talent, then I sell sign equipment so the cool kids still let me hang out) where are you in Ontario? Let me know if you need any help...
  20. Small Format Printer

    I still sell a couple of Edges a month, they are a great machine. For $1500 you need to know what you are getting and make sure it works...thats a good deal. Remember that you will need software (most likely Omega) and a 15" plotter. If these are included at that price....jump on it quick...
