  1. shop addition

    We have been running our shop with 3 computers. 1 is the rip and also design (my partners comp) I have a laptop that i use for design, and bring out on sales and also a desktop for book keeping. It isnt ideal, im sure our system takes longer to rip than if we had 1 dedicated to rip, we will...
  2. shop addition

    we were thinking about a sliding door. the existing building is block, so to put a door in there we are going to have to cut out a void and put a sill plate in there before we can cut the door out. No big deal, we can do it over a weekend and hardly have any down production time. now if we...
  3. shop addition

    the bathroom is in the lower right hand corner. some concerns we have is the placement of the door between the 2 buildings and how moving stuff around from shop to shop will work out. Would like to put double doors in or very wide door, not sure on that yet.
  4. shop addition

    maybe this is easier to see.
  5. shop addition

    Let me start by saying thanks to all who have given good advice to us over the past 2 years as it has helped us to get to this point. We are outgrowing our shop and planning to put an addition up this summer. brief background: our current shop (left side layout) is 35'x28' 12' tall celings...
  6. Knocking sound?

    Now it's not making the sound anymore.. did it through that whole job. afterwards we checked the pullyes and everything seems fine. not sure about ink build up on roller bars like the hp, not sure if the roland uses roller bars, unless you are referring to the pinch rollers then no thats not...
  7. Knocking sound?

    Printing a bunch of yard signs on the xj540 this morning and hearing a slight knocking sound. everytime the heads go all the way to the left side, just as it stops to come back, I hear a soft knocking sound. never heard this before, printer is 1.5 years old. I'm guessing it has something to...
  8. NY SODA BAN................alternative

    I just dont get it. If i'm that thirsty I'd buy 2 not so oversized sodas... what's next a limit to how many fountain sodas you can buy? Dont most people walk back up to the fountain and refill anyway? I wonder how much time and money has been wasted on stupid legislation like this...
  9. xj-640 sheet cut/ media clamp issue...

    Any solutions for this problem yet? My printer still does it as well even after the update.
  10. Best way to make reflective signs

    Screen printing wouldn't do much better for me, they all have unique addresses and numbers, not to mention teh full color seal. My big concern is the longevity of the clear printed overlay. it would be a cast clear with cast overlam but...
  11. Best way to make reflective signs

    Thanks, that's good advice and I will do so. Thing is these aren't traffic signs, they will be marking water mains or something, but they requested hi intensity diamond grade reflective signs so... I think a clear vinyl overlay will work fine, but i will call 3m to confirm. Thanks for the...
  12. Best way to make reflective signs

    ^ Is ther a something that I'm missing which would make using the 1170 as any overlay rather than a printed on clear overlay a better looking/functioning?
  13. Best way to make reflective signs

    I'm not a screen printer... don't want to sub it out either
  14. Best way to make reflective signs

    Thanks, never noticed the 1170 before. So I should probably do all the text with that too, and I'll do the full color seal with a clear print. Problem is i have to do 70 of these, and this process will take a lot longer. Seems I would get the same effect with just printing the sign graphics...
  15. Best way to make reflective signs

    I print directly to 3m and oracal reflective quite a bit too, but have never tried printing to 3m 4000 diamond grade refective, its 22 mil.
  16. Best way to make reflective signs

    Working on a bid for signs for a water dpt. They want diamond grade reflective signs, the backgorund is half blue and half white with text and a full color seal on the signs as well. My question is are people printing on 3m 4000 diamond grade reflective sheeting? I dont think i can with my...
  17. xj-640 sheet cut/ media clamp issue...

    I have just started having this problem this week also... I have an xj540 and if I keep trying enough it'll finally cut the sheet. I just dont understand why it hasn't had this problem ever for 2 years and all of a sudden... i will try the update
