  1. layout critique please

    Where is the contrast? I am looking at it while I write this and I can't read it. Dark tones on dark tones on dark... ... I like MMA but this looks cartoon like. Comic book cover, role playing plastic sword swinging dude at the park... Personally I think that you might have too much image...
  2. 4x4' 10mm coro, Double sided

    Are you bidding against your partner? With the layout sounds like the job will be done as soon as it starts. I would be a few dollars less than the price you have there? Prices vary quite a bit between one shop and another. Some you will be higher, some lower; we don't have to chase every price.
  3. cool new technology

    fun to look at but my back won't handle having my arms extended continuously like that. I still avoid the digitizer because I think it will take too long to get used to. lol
  4. Laying down 210 Lam

    It's the backing paper on the 210. We laminated forever on our 3/4" thick glass table. I can do 4x8's by myself but it is much easier with 2 people. The results get better the more practice you get. I have a laminator but still BS anything narrower than 54" unless it is over 8-10 feet. I...
  5. Wrap Material - Hate to start a new thread but...

    My vendor here carries the 1460 lam for the Avery (I think that is the only one they carry as they are a new vendor for them). I think it's supposed to be the most conformable, does that also mean the stretchiest? i.e. bad in the heat? Have you ever used it? P.s. Premier, thanks for the...
  6. What are you reading now?

    If it's not reading, it's the next best thing. Lynda rocks!
  7. SP-540i bent nozzles?

    It's like Easter for print heads around here every other week!
  8. SP-540i bent nozzles?

    Mine have gotten like that many times and always come back 100%, you're not dead yet.
  9. SP-540i bent nozzles?

    I have never replaced one but I would think damper or clogged head. Try putting vacuum on it from the bottom of the line that comes down from that cap top. suck a good syringe full of black through it and do a test print. If it's good and then goes to crap again shortly I guess we could...
  10. 51" Manual Desktop Cold Laminator

    I bought one of the Chinese jobs from Master I think it was and really couldn't be more impressed. I have yet to ruin a single print knock on wood. I have had better luck with this thing than my friends with units costing 5X the money. People talk a lot of smack about them but notice that...
  11. Printing on Paper!! And I need help

    Also, is the roll heavier or harder to roll out? On banner I have to pre-feed material out so that there is no pull on it. Are you using a take-up?
  12. Printing on Paper!! And I need help

    I don't know your machine but you are going to have to really watch it feed and figure out what is causing it. Is it the saturated paper swelling from heat after the ink is on? Heat too high? Is the machine absolutely, perfectly leveled out? My xc-540 fed terribly until I shimmed it...
  13. US Supreme Court

    Looks like a nice big job, and it will make quite a story for you. I hate seeing too much money spent as well but I say vote against it if you like while you are bidding the contracts that exist. Good for you. The netting can provide safety if done properly but it can also kill; I know a...
  14. What are you reading now?

    I don't want to hijack your thread but thought that I might be able to add to it. This is a very interesting topic to me as I don't read many business management type books. What if folks added not just what they are reading now but also what business book they have read that they feel had the...
  15. Wrap Material - Hate to start a new thread but...

    Thanks again for the responses. I have checked out the 3m and Avery just a bid and got a price quote from my supplier; there doesn't seem to be a significant price differential. I think I want to try the Avery kit and work on a couple of projects of my own. If you have a supplier that you...
  16. Wrap Material - Hate to start a new thread but...

    Aren't there also several types of 180? What are the differences between them? I am not a 3m user normally.
  17. Wrap Material - Hate to start a new thread but...

    Thank You for all of the responses. I have only done some very basic stuff with General Formulations Automark. It is good for basic stuff but I am trying to get it to do things that it was never meant to do and I certainly don't want to sell that.
  18. Wrap Material - Hate to start a new thread but...

    Hi Guys, I am tired of searching this topic. I have worked with very little wrap material personally and I am getting ready to order a kit of material. Although we all like to save a little money what I really want to know is; In your opinion, what would be the best material for an installer...
  19. Who is cutting these and what the H are they about?

    It's knocking off the chrome trucker mudflap girls with a more modern American Woman. I think they call them curves when they abuse the thin girls now.
  20. Stud-mounted letters on a split rock face...frustrating...

    I use their cordless track saw and it is AWESOME! Who needs a 20' panel saw? I only do fairly small installs but I have been using the heck out of the tiny little 12v Milwaukee hammer drill and impactor and for the size I am very impressed with them as well.
