  1. New router build CRP4848 4x4 Kit

    After looking at the wood frame I got to thinking. A torsion box on top of a wooden frame would give you more than enough rigidity.
  2. Bacon 2013!

    Thanks a lot. Now I'm craving bacon.
  3. Roland sets up new factory in Thailand

    Prices will never go down. Harley Davidson uses a tremendous amount of "off-shore" content and I've never seen them drop prices. Roland is trying to increase margins plain and simple. The goal of business is making money, and more is always better. Wonder if Roland will allow men to assemble...
  4. Latest Batch of Truck Wrap Designs

    I've noticed a common theme. They are all EXCELLENT!
  5. Trying to put a picture in the background

    Either adjust the opacity of the chart or use the Screen blending mode in PS. Just think in layers. Every piece of the layout should be a separate editable component.
  6. Like or not like

    Complete BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The designer of the wrap and the owner of the car prove the only taste they have is in their mouth.
  7. Now this is very cool

    Quite the arsenal of tools. You build bridges in your spare time?:Big Laugh
  8. least amount of time before laminating.

    We only overnight the prints that will go outside or on a vehicle. Maybe 10 or 12 hours. Truth is I doubt anyone sets a timer and follows the 24 hour rule no exceptions. Interior prints outgas a few hours before lam. No issues, ever. We're testing some vehicle prints right now with 2...
  9. What watch do you wear on your wrist

    I have a couple Seiko's and my pre-crackdown Rolex Daytona clone strait from the back alleys of Shanghai. Cost was $25 about 6 years ago. It is a perfect copy right down to the engraving and factory hologram tag. I've shown it to people that own the real thing and they are amazed. Chinese...
  10. Anyone here wrapped helmets with this process before?

    No luck with 6000XRP. Tried several times on a small bicycle helmet. It was one of those skid lid half helmets. Color would "blush" from the stretching. Haven't tried any other materials.
  11. Design computer specs

    For reference: 4 year old iMac with 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 gigs of 800mhz ram does it. Just punched out a high-resolution 8' x 16' banner. It included up-res'ing an 11" x 16" photo. Finished file was close to 300meg. Next Mac will have an i7 quad core and 8 gigs of ram which will be more...
  12. My SP-540V is not telling me when it's out of ink.

    3rd party carts will usually cause issues with the little "tongue" not sticking out.
  13. Compressor for Zund

    Industrial screws are meant to run 24/7/365 only stopping for routine air filter and oil changes. They have no receivers(tanks). Output is modulated or throttled dependent on demand. Another cool thing about a modulated screw is they are at full output the moment you turn them on. Flip the...
  14. Design before Contract

    There are times if the project is interesting and I have time I will do a layout before payment. Client will be shown the work and that is it unless they give me a deposit or pay for art. Art does not leave without being paid. I do it to keep my "chops" up(not that I have many) and I think of...
  15. Complacency in Business?

    Will look at the book once I get done reading all of Dr. Goldratt's tomes. Sometimes it takes a little nudge to get the ball rolling.
  16. Compressor for Zund

    Looks real nice, I'm jealous. Might be a re-badged Ingersoll-Rand which are top drawer. With the enclosure it should be nearly silent.
  17. Roland SP540V Photo Settings

    We do photo enlargements on 4mil vinyl. Much easier time getting the colors right. We do some high end printing and laminating with our SP540. I wish I could show you the work our printer knocks out on a regular basis, but the prints are for prototypes and not for public viewing. They are...
  18. Equipment Leases

    Tax wise it's about a wash between the two. A smart businessman once asked me this: "Do you want to own technology or leverage it"? That being said I bought mine because lease terms were terrible at the time. Besides I got a new printer at a demo price. Rig had a couple hours on it.
