It may have blown a fuse. Or you may have accidentally hit an E-Stop button. Other options are the chain drive broke or one of the set screws on the gears slipped or broke off.
I bring big stuff to the local canvas shop and have it sewn. I figure if it holds up on yachts I shouldn't have any problems.
BTW that is only for super short lead time banners. I have my sub do the huge by large banners on their 5 meter Scitex.
Forgot to add that a bunch of our clients want itemized invoices so we got into that mode. It works well for us and gets rid of tire kickers immediately.
As professionals we always need to learn and elevate our craft. If you are "burying" design fees it does nothing but deepen the public's...
We do the first hour free. Not free after that. I'm older and finally realized time is a non-renewable resource. If I'm not getting paid I'm not working on your sign. Only exception is the yearly church picnic where we do all the signage.
Sad to say most people don't think making attractive...
Adobe is in business for Adobe. Costs way more with the cloud and that's how they want it. I like Illustrator and Photoshop, but when the time comes to pay monthly I'm done. Just have to learn CorelDraw on PC again. No problem.
I use the Oracal 3751RA/290G kits for the jobs that require it. The clients that used to insist I use this or that I took the time to educate. It's a win-win. They get a quality product and I get to avoid carrying costs on a material one or two clients might need now and then. My shop is...

If you are running a "vintage" printer auto-update will wreak havoc with your system.
Never saw that before. Full report once you figure it out.
We had some difficulty with contour cutting recently. Found the reg marks to be 1 to 1.5mm wider on one side. Really buggered the cut. Ended up measuring the offset and "pre-skewing" the vinyl when reloading. Now today the dang...
Our Roland sits on commercial carpet. No issues. Before I'd worry about carpet make sure you have complete environmental control. Especially humidity. Not sure if the Mutoh manual is the same as Roalnds, but buried way in the back of the Roland manual is the optimum temp/humidity range. In...
I think there may be overheating issues deadheading a shop vac. IIRC someone posted about them catching fire(?)
If you want to do it like the big boys get yourself a regenerative/ring blower. They are made to run 24/7/365. Got a lot of experience with them at my former job. Cheap? Not...
