    wouldn't this need to be heat lamination for encapsulation?
  2. I'm going to share this with all of you!

    I don't know, I can't tell!!! Since the scammers stopped using ALL CAPS TO ASK FOR MONEY I think it may be real...?
  3. small defects after laminating

    Been using mainly oracal 210 matt and gloss for the last 5 years. I do see the occasional bump and ...pock mark in the lam. Though I can get dust tenting...and the occasional eyelash dammit, usually it's passable for signage. These bumps and pocks are in the lam and nothing to do with the ink on...
  4. close call

    I was just routing yesterday thinking about that. how far did it fly?
  5. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    Sure, except if it is covered by insurance they then go after the installer and manufacturer (you) to recoup losses. Doesn't matter who is right if you blow ten thousand dollars on lawyers to prove it. We will be seeing a lot more of this as the weather gets more stormy. I live in a very windy...
  6. EcoSol MAX or Latex-which ink?

    Six years on our roland, no tech other than one service in all that time. As far as the solver and white, test before you buy! I have done many tshirt transfers on the roland, but I think you may have issues with the silver and transfer to cloth. don't be fooled by the incredible not to be...
  7. Do I need new dampers?

    I'm onto my sixth year with my original VP540 dampers. The only thing I have ever changed is blades and wipers. It does sound as if yours are full O crap. Are you using OEM ink?
  8. Coffee or tea?

    coffee, more than is good, less than is needed.

    Adobe Suite, Aspire for the cnc Versaworks for the Rip. Simply Accounting for the money. Job management is by excel spreadsheet and ...paper. We did try to upgrade paper to paper v2.0, but it wasn't compatable with ballpoint 1. Paper order forms never expire and are easy to use. Keep em in...

    anyone want a logo designed? only $50 bucks. I get my money, you get a file you can't use. bet it was in corel.
  11. Cutting aluminum at home

    Depends what you are mounting on the aluminum. If you are covering the face with printed vinyl, those tiny scratches and burrs on the edge let the weather in and the vinyl soon begins to peel. A clean cut edge extends the signs life. We use the shear on a steeltrak for cutting. Then you...
  12. Finally got my cameras set up

    I have my dinner in the printer room and use the camera to watch my family.
  13. Has Google Adwords Worked for you?

    I was in it about to the tune of $20,000USD a month, up until about 7 years ago, back when there were a lot fewer online competition. We were doing quite well, making more than we put into it in the paid search, However around 2005 things began to change; Google became much more popular and sign...
  14. Back-lit signage

    And we will even tell you what to charge if you buy a premium membership! Wow what value.
  15. Gauging Interest

    I wish there was one in my area. You could also consult on the design/layout. Even if they print. That would open up even shops that would never touch a wrap. I never do more than partial wraps myself and get a lot of feelers for full wraps. I have to send them away. If I had a good...
  16. Back from the dead...

    inanimate objects hate people. With no ability to move around they spend all their time plotting mischief. This is why computers tease us so, why single socks go missing and why when you are doing an install, the knife is just beyond your fingertips. You didn't need luck to get the computer...
  17. Sign I did today

    A beautiful turn of phrase!
  18. aluminum prep

    I pull the plastic off as I apply the vinyl. Cleaning the surface only adds contaminants. Same for Acrylic and Aluminum composite.
  19. Time for a new printer.

    And it's a workhorse! Mine is in it's 6th year and no problems (touch wood).
