  1. What's the best heat transfer vinyl for T-Shirts?

    For print & cut, I use Cad-Colour Express print with my Roland BN-20. Have had nothing but great results with no complaints in the last 4 years. Customers love the finished product! For cut & press, I use Cad-Cut Thermo Film. Cuts extremely well and weeds quite easy. Both methods are definitely...
  2. FlexiSIGN PRO Version 11

    I'm selling my virtual license for FlexiSIGN PRO Version 11. This includes FlexiSIGN Pro, Production Manager, and it includes the Banner Finishing tools in Production Manager also. I am moving to the cloud based software. Asking $1300 CDN (approx. $1000 US). The license would be transferred...
  3. Flexi 7 Pro- whats it worth?

    Interesting... I'm thinking of going to FlexiSIGN Version 12 on the cloud... it's only $50/month CDN$ ($600 per year). That's minor and easily recovered. I'm currently running Version 11 full version with a virtual license. Wonder if I can sell my 11 license? I'll have to check with SAi and...
  4. do you think a 2ml 3m vinyl would hold up on a mug with dishwasher cleanings?

    Glad I stumbled on this thread... I get asked this quite often an my answer is always; "I cannot guarantee that..."! Think I'll try a couple for my own use and see how they hold up! :thumb:
  5. #BadBanners: Photos of Messy Banner Signs

    Seeing the worst of banners can be enlightening and educating for some. At worse, it's good for a laugh! At least that's my managementship opinion!! :ROFLMAO:
  6. edge quality on Latex 360

    Wow... my firmware was way out of date. I have the printer set to automatically update firmware, and even when I told it to check for updates, it said that there were no updates available. I went in to my browser and manually updated to this release. Thanks for posting it... let's see what kind...
  7. Font Help Please!!!

    Thanks so much!! :notworthy:
  8. Font Help Please!!!

    You would think with 11,000+ fonts, I could figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated. I come close, but fall short with the shape of the "p" and "o", and the specific type of "t" in this one. I'm pretty sure the two are different, but am more interested in finding out what "Expocrete"...
  9. He's on his way!

    Merry Christmas to all of my Signs101 friends! I have been rather "quiet" the last year, and no, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet!! It's been a very busy year both business and personally. Lots to chat about, but I will save that for another thread. Just wanted to pop in and say hi...
  10. Lifting media rolls

    For about $1600.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTOJ6hW-Q7c
  11. What would you do if you "accidentally" named your company?

    A name change/re-brand can be a good thing for sure. I agree with the suggestions here that say to go ahead and make the change, but for the first while, "remind" your customers who you used to be (and still are)! I am part of a large franchise system here in Canada. 3 years ago we finally...
  12. New printer recommendations?

    Well, after 4 years my 25500 is in need of some extensive (and expensive) repair. Tech tells me the carriage needs replacing. The C/LC printheads are "unstable", and causing nothing but grief! They are moving around and losing proper contact causing major colour shifts in prints. After a run I...

  14. Shades of grey look pink on L25500??

    I have to agree with you here ddarlak... the heads are the culprit for sure in this case. Yesterday, I found a new C/LC head, switched it out and it printed beautifully. The attached photo tells the story (I'll let you decide which is which!!). Funny thing is that I had 4 NEW heads that I was...
  15. Shades of grey look pink on L25500??

    Thanks for this reply... this may make a lot of sense now. I think I have a larger issue than meets the eye. The Clc heads are relatively new (one has fired 737ml and the other, 713ml). For the last few months, after a run of about 3 or 4 posters or banners, I keep getting the message "Replace...
  16. Shades of grey look pink on L25500??

    Hoping someone can shed a little light on this for me. Lately (and it happens randomly), some shades of grey are printing with almost a pinkish hue on my L25500!! :omg: Wondering if anyone has run across this problem before. It has happened on both banner and vinyl (two different ICC profiles)...
  17. A Few New Toys!

    LOL... the third one is something that you wouldn't likely see in most sign shops! We produce a lot of tent cards on cover stock for Sleemans (a local brewery). They require a triple score. We used to do them by hand, but it can be very time consuming. This machine automates the process and does...
  18. A Few New Toys!

    It's a 59" electric trimmer. We print a lot of posters on 7 and 9mil poster paper (the stuff BigFish sells). This is the newer model of this trimmer. We had the first generation, but it was flawed in its design. They fixed the "flaws" and came out with this one. Very accurate illuminated cut...
  19. A Few New Toys!

    Thanks! :smile: Yeah, the Keen Cut SteelTrak is quite nice. It took over for an Excalibur 3000 (which we still have for back-up or whatever). The SteelTrak does a much better job on the more rigid substrates like Dibond, Alumabrite, etc... It is built much heavier and more sturdy than the old...
  20. A Few New Toys!

    Got a few new "toys" in yesterday. The one is not really to do with the sign end of our business, rather it is a creaser/perf machine for smaller stuff! :smile:
