  1. How do 3rd party inks ruin your printer?

    also noted that it sure felt nice to save $1k+ per year and easily throw money at new printheads/random parts, that typically burn out on their own after half a decade of mild use. HP got it right by making their heads disposable on the latex printer. I'd be curious to see how many shops are...
  2. How do 3rd party inks ruin your printer?

    Lava ink? why would anyone think that inks from Canada is a great idea? haha, jk but seriously... technicians blaming service calls on 3rd party inks is the joke... just they're go-to excuse for "i don't know" when badgered with questions why heads were shot. printer owners can quickly...
  3. Need Help with Dry Erase Project

    make sum #'s on coroplast squares with velcro.
  4. Chrome wrap... it may be real this time...

    non-overlapping tiles at body lines i'd imagine i'm really curious how long it lasts, i see lots of foil/metalized vinyl turn to junk in the elements over time.
  5. Have you replaced your JV3 recently?

    my jv3 is over 6yrs old and still kickin! Just replaced 4 heads over the last 2 years, a y-motor, 1/2 ink pumps, and 2 capping station captops with a full set of new dampers. O, and a pair of Roland ribbon cables because I accidentally ordered the wrong part... same cables, just longer :)...
  6. Printing on Reflectives- HELP!

    or ClearShield liquid laminate? i've solvent printed reflectives and used both methods of lamination without issue.
  7. Gerber vinyl.. anyone sell it?

    we're all Gerber/3M here, with a hint of Oracal/Mactac when i need to save a buck. +1 midwest/advantage s.s.
  8. ADA braille signs - need help

    if it was required to be braille, the lettering would be required to be raised as well. i'm also inclined to believe that these don't fit in that category. Never hurts to simply ask the fire marshall. He should be able to simply tell you what he's looking to sign-off on, as the difference in...
  9. JV3- DX4 Heads

    :goodpost: how old were the heads? i'd like to think every head is recoverable, but the nature of the hardware leads me to believe that they do degrade over the use of xx billion fires and amount of ultrasonic cleaning can recover.
  10. Etched/frosted Glass Vinyl?

    3M 7725SE is all I use. Both dusted crystal and frosted crystal. Even though dusted crystal looks more like true "etched glass", everyone seems to prefer frosted crystal as it has a LOT more sparkle to it. Both cast materials, cut/weeds great, and wet applies really well.
  11. rice paper bleeding threw

    welcome to signs101, from Wisconsin! work on your profiles/ink limits. you're laying down too much ink for a media that requires the least amount of ink out of.... anything.
  12. fonts kickin my butt this week!!!

    most likely a combination of two fonts... the a's aren't even close to resembling each other shy of being script.
  13. Laminate with 3M 180

    i don't bother using 290 as a lam for 180, but who knows... it might work. Although I can get 8519 overlam cheaper than 290, so I guess it would defeat the purpose. I HAVE laminated 3551RA with 8519, however.
  14. how do you do split-back on decals?

    :Welcome:2:signs101: use the search function, may take a lotta digging but there are threads here that have discussed this plenty.
  15. Banner question

    read into the label a bit more.... "for best results yadda yadda" doesn't mean "do/ do not yadda yadda"
  16. feedback? any help?

    edited my first post, passing grade for the thumbnail test.
  17. feedback? any help?

    thumbnail test says the smaller market is too small, and both logos are unreadable from a distance. prefer the bottom background, and how about blowing up the "nature's goods" as big as you can still fit the larger "market" and make the leaf in their logo a mounted piece of aluminum to the...
  18. X Games Medals

    +1 but then again, everyone's trying to find ways for free advertisement. just imagine how many people will/have gone to visit the page for submittal/voting. its just like chicago's recent "man's best friend" competition. guaranteed that site hit 7-8 digits'-worth of voters' page refreshes.
  19. PVC For Outside

    :threadRouted HDU foam with a sprayed hard-coating for the win!:Welcome::signs101:
  20. Van Pricing, Where would you be?

    for that much, i'da given them a bit more "Paint for their Party". edited: or at least a +1 to Premium vinyls. you may have made out like a bandit using calendered vinyl here, your customer service will be tested heavily down the line when product starts failing.
