    I'm out of ideas.
  4. Sprout like computer

    Would be nice to think so. Good scanners, software and output equipment is ridiculously expensive. Just to keep his software up to date my friend spends about $10K a year. Solidworks, AutoCad, MasterCam along with a host of others geared towards his type of output. Can't imagine doing that...
  5. Yet another JV3-130SPII "HELP ME THREAD"......

    Your post jumped ahead of mine. No harm I just find it odd.
  6. Sprout like computer

    Check out these: http://www.nextengine.com/products IIRC this is what a friend of mine has. Although the mfg. makes it look and sound simple it isn't. Accuracy isn't bad at 0.1mm(0.393"), but the issue lies in getting an accurate scan. Pretty sure they don't tell you the scanner likes to...

    Did you take a syringe, hook it to the drain line(s) and pull ink through the cap tops.
  8. Northern Sign Shop Cold Temperature vynal

    Gino is right. You're just below freezing. We have done outdoor installs in Jan/Feb but we use heaters to get whatever to proper install temp. PITA, but when ya gotta ya gotta. Ask your competition how many of those -2 special vinyl jobs fail. Just noticed it said can be. Does it...

    If they are worried about scratching it might be better to make the windshields out of Lexan MR10 with MarGard. Everything from drag vehicles to roundy racers uses it with great success. In lieu of that what about an optically clear laminate? Could always get the full windshield tear-offs...
  10. Instant One Media

    Ooof. Makes me not want to order anything. Just curious if you've been telling IOM about the damage? Seems quite simple to put better end caps on to avoid this issue.
  11. At least you didn't make this sign.

    Ruh roh. Somebodies gonna get it.
  12. Instant One Media

    Good info so far. I'll wait until they have the laminate though. One thing I wonder about is overall durability. Our shop does outdoor signage and the usual car and van lettering. But the shop we print for is all over the map. Tractors, trailers, crane booms, ambulances etc... Like...

    Anyone try their new cast material? Was thinking about giving it a whirl, but would like some feedback. Nothing worse than doing a job twice because of material failure.

    Estimate with QuickBooks here. I have very little interaction with it though. Wife is the accounting whiz. Maybe there is some open source stuff floating around on the web? Never looked...
  15. NEED ADVICE - Frosted glass film issue - how to handle?

    For heat what about infrared room heaters? They work great on single pane. They'll give a nice even heat with no scorching.(done January installs with them) Not sure about using on I.G. panels though.
  16. Rant: how little others care about appearance

    This is what I've learned over the years: Cheap wins every time. Good friend owns a gun shop and here is what he said: "Guys will make a 300+ mile loop in their brand new F350 going to a bunch of gun shops just to save 20 bucks". "Then brag to their buddies what a good deal they...

  19. Print Shop Environment

    You want the area to be as clean as possible. Temperature should be between 60 and 70 degrees F. Humidity IMO is a much bigger issue. We keep a close eye on it and run between 50-60% We used to have our laminator in a different area(not very warm) and never had issues all the way down to 45...
