    absolutely, I'd love any help I can get. Here it is This forum doesnt support EPS upload (which is how I print files) so I saved it as a PDF
  2. rasterlink 6 Double cutting

    I've been reading alot. It seems like it may have to do with the Transparency Flattener presets in Illustrator. I have created a "custom" one, but when I save the file it still shows the default one on the output screen, but it is faded out with no way to change it before saving. I did test...

  4. rasterlink 6 Double cutting

    Im having an issue with my printer double cutting graphics. I design in Illustator and add the contour/cut path. I send an EPS file to Rasterlink 6 to print and cut on a Mimaki CJV 150-130. More often than not, the machine will double cut everything. I have gone back in to the files and made...

    Awesome Idea! <3
  7. Need Help Turning off printers potentially for a long period of time

    You should leave them plugged in. If they don't cycle regularly the heads can dry up. The cost of electricity is minimal compared to the headaches and costs of getting your machines back up and running.
  8. Question 70% isopropyl alcohol

    Tubelite sells 91% by the gallon and 5 gallon. I've also ordered it through Amazon.
  9. Difficulty Adhering after Rapid Remover

    We never use adhesive remover on glass. We remove the vinyl and then soak the hell out of the adhesive with windex and scrape it off using a flat razor blade. The windex gives the blade plenty of slide. Then we go over the window a couple of times with 91% alcohol.

    What is the overall material square footage?
  11. Channel letter learing

    I do it in 2 passes since I don't have a misting system. I'm sure I could get away with 1 pass, but I know the 2 passes work, and if it ain't broke.... Most things I rout (with the exception of colorcore) anywhere from 100-140 ipm and I do a minimum of 2 passes depending on the thickness of...
  12. Channel letter learing

    I have a Techno CNC. I cut aluminum with no misting system. I use a 1/4" bit in 2 passes. 100 ipm at 18000 rpms. We spray glue the aluminum down to a sheet of coro before cutting.
  13. Need Help Painting HDU foam...

    This is the primer I use from Tubelite. I use SW latex paints, 2-3 coats for finishing. Be sure to lightly sand your flat spots and then rinse the sign with water and let thoroughly dry before priming/painting.
  14. Installation advice please

    My suggestion would be to tell them to hire an engineer to design the frame. I would imagine that sign needing a huge footer and a lot of bracing/framework. As far as the lawsuit goes, you aren't installing it. I don't see how you would be liable in any way. It's not your responsibility if your...

    Have you tried taking a photo and then grabbing the color from it and make adjustments from there?
  16. Interesting dilemma

    They specifically told you 289 and you got pretty damn close. Have you showed them this pic that you posted for us? If so, how did they respond? If I were you, to keep the client happy, I would reprint the banners, although I wouldn't be happy about it. But you said they are a big customer and...

  18. Switching to Avery wrap

    Good morning all. I've been a loyal 3M user for all my wraps for many years, but over the past few years we have had quite a few issues. I recently had a wrap less than a year old that had "rusting" all around everything that was dicut. I put in a claim and got some money back from them. I...
  19. the dreaded double cut

    I have the same problem in Illustrator. It will do it on some files and not others, even when I design them exactly the same way. I use a contour stroke of .2 It doesn't seem like there's any rhyme or reason although I'm sure there is.
