centering in your machine helps too! laminator rollers have a "crown" in the center that can easily cause you to drift if you're laminating on the left/right side of the machine.

and not too much tension! my pressure dial goes from 40-100 and I just barely lightup the "40" when I laminate.

line up twice, laminate once!

don't bother with Fellers. Merchant members here have printheads for half the price.

advantage, hands down. also a merchant member here.

looks like my printhead prior to replacement.

once the snow hits the ground, sign me up! i require 4 hours in the shop, 4 in the bar, and 8 on the slopes!

congrats! way cool.

apologies... posted thread and realized that this may have come up before. found thread on same topic here

thoughts? never played with tyvek before, but a client is requesting a pattern to be printed on a roll(rolls) of Tyvek weatherproofing material. will be trying a sample in a week or so, but was hoping for other input. Quality doesn't have to be perfect, and I believe it will only be...

nah, overthinking it imho. no need to go through the face. If its 3/4" MDO, 3/4" screws should work since the thickness of the angles will keep you from drilling through the face (maybe add a washer if you're really worried about it). Just use a few extra screws than you think you might...

just had this issue last week! doubtful it was installed improperly, ink just builds up over time and eventually makes it so difficult for the wiper mechanism to work properly that the motor throws an error. i didn't have to remove anything but the front/back cover, used a tweezers to...

just saw this exact car at a gas station the other day! looked like something I've seen come out of the new metallic ink printers. clear media with metallic/white ink.

not sure if this looks like vinyl failure or the result of wax residue. this isn't calendared/intermediate vinyl is it? I only trust cast materials, regardless of brand.

honestly, i'd rather work for a restaurant before trying to open one myself... even if I were a busboy with a college degree. same goes for the sign biz. i'm sure if you were willing to make $8-12/hr as an entry-level position at your nearest "Sign-A-Rama"... the knowledge you will gain will be...

premount angles, vertically to the backside of the sign, and screw into the posts. will work with/without the extra 2x4's on the back.

how bout combining fascia and rooftop signage while you're at it?

my money's on ink starvation, but doesn't hurt to check the overheating issue (though I've never heard of it!) just got over a similiar issue that resulted in my discovering the cyan capping station wasn't making a proper seal. I replaced the captop and took the opportunity to fix an ongoing...

do you have a take-up for the backing paper from the laminate? When I start a long-run, i let about 5' of laminated print come out and then loosely pull it over the top of the machine and tuck into the backing paper take-up. friction takes care of the rest! just make sure its feeding square...
