  1. Oralite V98 Tape

    fellers has it at 30" by the yard
  2. Question Tips on what to look for when buying a 2yr old pre-owned laminator?? (Guardian)

    rollers should be pristine or I'd pass. everything else should be working fine..... its a pretty simple mechanism, and hard to beat-up in only 2yrs.
  3. Here we go again, 60" Vinyl on Maxmetal sign with bleed

    +1. and even-so, a frame means a concealed border, which means you can have a 60" panel with a 59" print and as long as the frame is >5" then no one is the wiser.
  4. How would I go about wrapping a water tower?

    silly rabbit. you'll need TWO extension cords: one for doodler, one for your phonograph buuuut if you don't like carrying cords up ladders, then have ur grandkids loan you an ipod, and send up the drone instead!
  5. How would I go about wrapping a water tower?

    My bad for slightly derailing the thread by blurting this out, but it would be cool tech to make logistical nightmares like watertowers a bit easier for those involved. I believe there's other single-color ones already on the market, but for reference here's the Scribit Kickstarter.
  6. How would I go about wrapping a water tower?

    would be cool if you could just program one of those wall-climing-doodlers to draw your pattern, and repell/paint-by-numbers. "wrapping" it, however. whew, good luck. i'd love to watch, with a beer in my hand.
  7. Need advice on vinyl lettering signage

    big fan of cutting lines of copy with a square-box around it for easy measurement, especially round/seriff lettering that may have a wicked mix of descenders that don't give you a proper square-line to measure from. it also helps keep your transfer mask from lifting-off the backing paper prior...
  8. Rounded Corners on Light Boxes

    back to the OP, polycarb can be jigsaw'd onsite if necessary. no sweat. get a proper survey for your overall dimensions, and just round the corners before you fasten the endcaps back-on. edited to add: banter is fun. "bullying" may also have some insight worth considering. The world is a...
  9. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    OTF isn't shady, I have installed many locations here in the Midwest and never had a problem collecting BUT we get everything in writing on the front-end, down-payment or we never show up in the first place. Sorry but not sorry. Its not like we NEED the $$$ to get-going, but it begins the...
  10. Mimaki CG-130 FX II plotter - how to start without filling the floor ?

    ^ above mentioned +1'd. else, quickest way without changing any settings: step 1: when you load material, it give you option for "roll" or "leaf", select "roll". Else "leaf" will cause the plotter to want to scan the whole length of the material loaded. step 2: after that, the machine will...
  11. What do you guys prep surfaces with

    i wash everything with isopropyl alcohol, I buy it in 5gallon drums at 90% strength and have a batch of spray bottles for "strong cleaning" and a batch of bottles I've watered-down to ~60% for "general cleaning". For glass/acrylic/car body/polycarb surface cleaning/prep, I always just assume...
  12. Backing reflective with ControlTac

    layering vinyl is ok, but highly recommended you build-up in terms of quality or it WILL fail. i.e. calendared base with cast overlay will work, as the cast vinyl will resist the shrinking of the calendared and the cast overlay will actually protect the calendared baselayer from exposure/aging...
  13. What gives w window graphics inside?

    we have argued this case successfully in the past, by explaining that 30/70, 40/60, etc perforated graphics is not "full coverage" and should be treated as such. you really can see-thru them if you're trying to look. however, the same argument has fallen on deaf ears in other townships as...
  14. Your Tax Dollars at Work road sign cost

    just throwing it out there, but roadside signage/lighting usually requires more than just digging a hole and setting the sign. A lot of the expense comes from multiple trips, survey>concrete&matchplate pour/install>sign install with breakaway bolt system. totally agreeable, however, that the...
  15. Need Help Channel letter fabrication

    you would need to start by checking with ULC before making your final shopping list. Lotta channel letter fabricators out there shipping stuff to clients that aren't able to be installed because they lack electrical certification. Otherwise, the upcoming ISA Sign Expo would be a great resource...

    compensation of feed.
  17. HP L26500: screen says 1ml left in cartridge, but there is some left

    luckily, no. just a lotta wasted printed material due to noticeable color shift.
  18. Perf print output longer than artwork

    what printer? sounds like a media feed calibration issue.
  19. HP L26500: screen says 1ml left in cartridge, but there is some left

    same machine, and i get that.....xept when the printer thinks there's still ink in an empty cartridge, and keeps trying to print while sucking fumes.
