With large files we take them down to at least 50% size, more often than not 25%. Then we tell the RIP either 200% or 400% scaling. The RIP will determine panels which we double check. Easy Peasy.

I have one. Took a lot of "tuning" after assembly. Works good for my needs, but I don't cut anything heavy. Just foam cored pvc and coro. Haven't tried to cut glass or acrylic. At some point I am going to machine a new blade holder so I can use utility knife blades.

Kapco makes a good 4mil AR vinyl.

Got my Hotronix 16x20 draw press for $375 through Craigslist. Guy was retiring.

I feel bad for the workers and their families.

Yup. The Ol' Widder Maker.

That is really coming along. Good job so far. Very interested how it all pans out.

My dog would never leave my side if I was wearing one of those.

We call the ones with the small hooked blades Widow Makers. The work a treat on edges and holes, but never use one without gloves. They can filet your hand before you know what happened. I spent a quarter century in a fab shop and saw a lot of stupidity.

Maybe what you need is a sealed room for the paint system and one for the printer. Set up an exhaust system(to outside) with MUA(make up air) This system will pretty much guarantee a smell free environment. Your local HVAC pro can do the system.

Here is a a page from a report I recently wrote for class take it for what you will. Pie and Negotiation Everything in life is a negotiation. In business it is all about how big a slice of pie you can get. Somebody wins somebody loses. You don’t care about the...

They are stealing most if not all. Every one of the "sticker" shops in the mall has failed as well as ones not in the mall. Wife and I mark the start date when they open and make bets on the day they close. Never takes more than a few months. Case in point: Harley Davidson licenses NOTHING...

A place in Chicago(?) does the conversions. They would be able to help. http://www.solventprinterconversion.com/2solventprinters.html I should have remembered this my first post. Gettin' old.

We use the first couple feet for test prints.

Double the estimate and triple the delivery time. You may get the job as they have worn our their welcome at every other shop. That is all I'm gonna say...

I'd spend the money and get a replacement from the manufacturer. Trying to save a few bucks and burning the shop to the ground is never good.

When there is mass price consistency of a given product it then becomes a commodity. It seems parts of our industry have been moving in that direction. Now more than ever I push the value side. Simple things like saying what you mean and doing what you say on time every time. Follow...

Find the issue of WRAPS magazine with the blue VW on the front. Lots of good tips regarding lamination. The other thing to remember is laminating is an art not science. You will have to get used to the way your machine runs. You will not bend it to your will. It took me a long while to...

Another thing is to keep the print and laminate as close to the same width as possible.
