  1. HP latex 700w: bad printer, bad support, advice needed. How did you return/replace your HP 700/800?

    most states have lemon laws that pertain to vehicles... However the general warranty of merchantability should cover anything sold by a business that does not perform the tasks it was specifically sold to do....
  2. Bleed?

    Dang! you guys all waste media - I set my bleeds to 0.1" on all posters and banners... 1.5" is just nuts! "bleed" is just supposed to be a little sacrificial printing so that you can cut through it and have a bleed on the final piece - if they are asking for 1.5" to go beyond the final...
  3. Rapidtac

    Rhubarb is worse! sooo much oxalic acid you can get stones just by LOOKING at the leaves..... if you can make it safe (and tasty), RESPECT to you Gino!
  4. Rapidtac

    Chemical free pie? Rutabaga! Dang those things are full of glucosinolates! - and not to mention his pies have been saturated with dihydrogen-oxide! (but maybe a little Rapid Tac would help the flavor?...)
  5. Customer wanting to use trademarked logo on their signage

    good point -- it is always about risk. If you missed some of the colors and someone at GMC want to be a total jerk, they do have the authority and legal right to sue the shop, especially if the shop never had corporate permission to reproduce the trademarked images. Generally for a small shop...
  6. Customer wanting to use trademarked logo on their signage

    I have always been warned that we need a copy of a 'permission to reproduce trademarked images' statement giving us or the customer permission to reproduce. GMC has a lot of resources to come after you if they so choose (though this is very unlikely). And yes, the dealership probably has...
  7. Why the color variations?

    Any mix that calls for Reflex Blue will be problematic on a process color press (unless one of the press's inks is Reflex Blue - never heard of this though...) Some colors just cannot be reproduced with a color gamut limited by primary inks (it does not matter which or how many primaries you...
  8. Why the color variations?

    ... once you get a perfect match for the customer - but inside the shop. What happens when they take the sample outside? we have had some inks that look identical under artificial lights, but in the sun were dramatically different.
  9. Looking for printable, no coating paper

    in the older days of offset printing 60# offset was considered comparable (if less opaque) than the 20# bond - and in reality today you can buy 60# offset sheets that mic the same as a nice 20# bond sheet. considering that the weight may not be super critical - other than a "paper" instead of...
  10. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    for sheet fed label material, try someone like Kelly/Spicers or Veritiv - they supply a lot of sheet fed printers....... most have their own house brands as well, if it is not a critical installation you can get some really cheap vinyl in sheets. (lots of varieties of paper label material as...
  11. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    Good idea Victor - we get large sheets of crack-n-peel for the sheet-fed presses all the time. You could sheet-feed some 26"x40" Crack-N-Peel sheets into a wide format printer - most that I have used have this option - but they may leave large margins so they can keep part of the sheet in the...
  12. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    We make stickers from the vinyl all the time - but we rarely worry about the crack and peel - I have has some good tests on our very old Graphtec (15"??!) as I recall I had a few 'stickers' of the corner marks from a prior completed job, just place them on the back in the right spot and feed a...
  13. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    careful - it sounds like your installers may be part of the Cartel!
  14. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    be careful - you may upset the Vinyl Cartel. They secretly control all of the world's vinyl supply - occasionally they mess up a shipment and we see things like what triggered this thread. Making every "manufacturer" have a printed label, they cannot as easily divert shipments to areas with...
  15. Kongsberg iXL Critical Machine warning 3020

    from the manual - " • IBAG inverter The IBAG inverter is not disconnected by the mains connection of the cutting table. Do not remove the cover of this unit until the mains connection has been removed from the socket outlet for the IBAG inverter" It looks like this "IBAG inverter" is plugged...
  16. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    .... so this thread with the uncertainness in the responses goes to show our industry is ripe for a counter-fitter to jump in... if no one has a way to tell what actual media they have in their hands is..... With paper we can look at the fibers under a scope and caliper the sheet - I have...
  17. Kongsberg iXL Critical Machine warning 3020

    I see no one else is attempting this one... what did the display say when you hit the <Message Display> button?
  18. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    it is my opinion that both are true statements...
  19. Looking for this.........................................

    gotta respect a guy who knows what he does and doesn't wanna do!
  20. Looking for this.........................................

    if he has a welding shop, draw up some plans, have a significant other get a quote from his shop, then mark it up a bit and submit it back to him.... if it works out he will be paid to weld, and not just a waste of time, and you get frames to sell to the customer! Win-win.... Or just price...
