We are making the switch to 3M vinyl for everything. I went to their website to download profiles for my Roland XC-540. When I try to download, some say that they are corrupt, others say that 3M is offline and to try again later, other download just fine, and then when I try to load into...

It is 3M Gerber 180 Control Tac Plus White 2 mil. The core tag says "Gerber 180, CTRLTAC White". The backer says "3M Controltac Graphic Marking System". It looks just like all of the previous rolls that we have used, just no adhesive. My supplier is sending me a new roll that will be here...

I got a full roll of 15" 3M Control Tac vinyl to run on the Edge FX. When I first got the roll I noticed that it had the yellow tag sticking out of it, meaning that there is a splice in the vinyl. No big deal, I have had this before. So, I run about 8 yards and then cut the splice out so that...

I get this at least once a week. Some I have found on BOTW. Others I just turn into vector and charge for the time. BOTW has some good stuff and some outdated stuff. Just be sure you are using the correct logo, and that you are using it correctly.

For those of you that are able to carry and do, I say Good Job. You are protecting and supporting our rights and the second amendment. For the unfortunate ones like myself who live in Illinois or other countries where a citizen is not allowed to conceal carry, I feel your pain. My...

Thanks for the site. Just a simple view of all the fonts that are installed, and I can see multiple fonts at one time. Love it! :thumb:

So we used to sub out all of our large format printing jobs. Now we have a Roland XC-540 and do it ourselves. We have been using Oracal 3675 window perf. It is expensive compared to other brands (briteline, clear focus, even 3M). What brand are you using? Do you like it? I am just...

We did not purchase it. Been running with what we got for a long time and it works. I use Adobe, Omega, Versaworks, & Corel. No need to get a new program that we would all have to learn.

Our FX I think does the same thing. What we do is pull the cartridge forwards (towards the front of the machine). Sometimes it takes a little force. It seems like it does not want to engage the cartridge. I have worked at this shop for 3.5 years and it has been that way since I started...

I just asked the same question a while back. Here is a link to the thread, http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85860

Thanks guys. I will probably get some just to see if they are helpful, or if the media is going to slip out of my hands.

So I have looked and found places online to order white cotton gloves to handle the digital print media. But I have not seen any in the sign vendors catalogs. You would think that if they suggest you wear them, then they would sell them. I was just wondering if anyone actually uses them, and...

Thanks for all the info. We took the job and are just waiting for final approval of the art from the bank owner before we start.

I also have a Pantone Solid Coated color chart that I set up in AI CS3. I am willing to share with anyone. Just PM me your info and I can send it to you.

Yes, I thought it had an adhesive back. Now after talking to the people at magicinkjet.com I realize I was wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions for white translucent material for backlit signs that does have an adhesive back? I will be printing on a Roland with Eco-Sol ink.

I just got a sample to try printing on so that we can do our own backlit sign panels. I have tried to get the backing off to adhere is to a piece of white poly, but with no success. I went to the website and looked at the application guide that they have and it says nothing about how to...

Had this same problem..."as soon as you hit the sub power it tries to do the initial starup clean. It can't do the clean because the 0101 error pops up". After a few days of frustration and a few phone calls, turns out that the sheet cut button was stuck down on the control panel. I took a...

I bought our Roland XC-540, and at the same time had a custom built Windows 7 - 64 bit computer built. When the tech came to set everything up he was more than happy with the computer. We have been running versaworks just fine since the day it was installed.

The main face area and top is plastic, the bottom, sides and back are all a smooth metal. Thanks for the tip on the primer.
