my big excitement with 3d printing is how some companies are now able to infuse metals into the product, creating some amazing works of art that no jeweler/artistan could ever hope to accomplish by hand.
if you're patching the wall anyways, take a hole saw to it. Just one more hole to patch, AND you can take the sample to sherwin williams to match it for you.
+1 to it being outline-related.
we always delete/undo delete paths prior to production. doublecuts suck.
I try to make certain I send everything of mine to my cutter as black fill with no stroke, but sometimes I forget and a doublepath sneaks in.
i've been working on plans to build one myself, after seeing the Euro version in threads a few months back. Currently doing the same work by hand with my laminator, no problem, but the idea of the substrate remaining still is very appealing.
a good wiping of the surface with isopropyl alcohol, prior to the application of paint mask, has always done the trick for me! I also always peel my paint mask before it is fully dry, cleaner lines.
+1 to I print on chrome/metallic vinyl all the time. surprised there's not any wholesalers out there that do, but then again... they don't hold up that well in outdoor/abrasive environments.
i'd be so angry if I had to crank two sides of my laminator! its already a PITA trying to get my shop's belt sander tracking right when I have to change the sanding belts.
Granted, every laminator will do what it's supposed to once its user gets the hang of it... if people designed laminators...
how badly does refilling toner affect the quality and why?
I can imagine maybe a slight color difference, as one would see using 3rd party inks on wideformat solvent printers... but to the point that my photo-quality printer can now only produce invoices?
+1 to using pinstripe tape and a knife, if you have the confidence/skill to do so.
+1 to knifeless tape being the "dummy-proof" way to approach this, as well.
