    Unreal and interesting... after all 3M may not be the best vinyl out there ;)
  2. Applying graphics to 4x8 sheet by ones self

    agreed, just some of us when start off can not afford that kind of convenience. Just out of curiosity, would you dry apply clear printed vinyl onto a clear acrylic with laminator ? for some reason I'm always skeptical if I'll get the same quality application using laminator as if I wet...
  3. Nothing sticks to avery matte laminated wrap - what a horrible day....

    man if the DPF 8000 did not work I am sorry to say but I think nothing else will work... crazy situation...

  4. Applying graphics to 4x8 sheet by ones self

    Felt squeegee, hinge the material half way and score the backer from the middle, unroll the backer in small increments as you squeegee along, we do 4x8 manual application in under 10 minutes, it's good to know how to apply manually, you can't apply window graphics with laminator...

  6. how to bring a font from font manager

    I got over 2400 fonts installed in windows 7x64 , running corel X6 with not a single problem, corel draw is as snappy as ever... mind you I got intel i7 -6 core with 32 gigs of ram workstation. I also work in x7 and do not see much difference other than a bit lag with fountain fill and also when...
  7. Tutorial for installing a new encoder strip for an SP-300

    What I did , was start material initialization, when the head moved to the left simply shut down the main power and your head will be disengaged from the capping station , you can then move the head left and right to be able to feed the encoder strip right through the opening where the sensor...

  9. Tutorial for installing a new encoder strip for an SP-300

    What I did was , turn the printer on , sent the print head out , turned off the main power so the print head assembly is out of the capping station, you then remove the old encoder strip , lay it flat on the table , match the new encoder length to the old one, the old encoder strip will have I...
  10. Logo Reproduction

    Bob, you seem like a fairly smart guy but the way you approach others seems very out of touch, perhaps if you used a bit of a different tone and better choice words you would get the respect and attention that you are craving , you do not seem to understand the concept of proper and detailed...
  11. Logo Reproduction

    Sorry friend but I can assure you that you can not produce a precise symmetrical auto trace vector path from an insufficient image, does not matter what computer or trace tool you are using.. It just isn't happening, been there done that many times..., we usually redraw poor quality logos...

  13. Logo Reproduction

    Bob, any trace tool perhaps will do good for a billboard print viewable from 40 ft up, what I did is a router path , print and contour cut , it is an interior sign and it will be wall mounted at eye level, any imperfections would be visible... another thing is to auto trace you need a good file...

    Hi , great point, to answer your question , it is faster and it gives me more control to smooth the curves individually, this is the process I adopted long time ago and I stick to my guns, I do work in illustrator as well on occasion , but anything like this logo redraw I can do much faster in...

    Hey guys just a quick question, I have been trying to do some shirts using the roland digital heat transfer media, I have been using a generic oracal profile to print on the heat transfer, I kind of noticed that the green color hardly saturated that media, I mean I can see it printed but very...
