See the thing is back in the day, everyone learnt what americans were like by watching the TV America Exported. You just had to respect a country that was like Bonanza with the morals of John Wayne. Now? Is it a wonder they think they can get away with terrorism? Dog the bounty hunter? rescue...

Now what we need is "the sign guys". A reality tv show about a buncha guys with tatoos, beards and missing teeth who install wild and crazy signage...maybe wearing cowboy hats or bandanas. Now that would be TV!

I have done perf almost at freezing on flat surfaces. No real problems.

...more than you are getting?

Ah the clear backing, I had a lot of optically clear with clear backing, that was a PITA. It tries its best to wrinkle as soon as the lam comes off the back. I guess the clear back has some purpose. Does yours at least have some printing on the backing?

are you in business to grow or have a comfortable life? I notice that web design projects brought you a wad of cash, yet machines will force you to go in a different direction.

Western and Central Europe homicide rate = 1.5 per 100,000 people. USA is 6.1 per 100,000 people. Canada is 1.85 per 100,000 more guns means more murder...founding fathers intentions aside, the only real purpose for a concealed gun is either to threaten death or to actually kill. Sorry...

it must be a sobering to walk around in a state where many people carry the means to kill you on the spot. The very fact that an employee was walking around with a concealed gun would effect the running of the shop. I have worked with some very excitable people in the past, who I'm sure would...

I have a couple of ikea clothes racks with a 6 inch tube on the top, not really needed for adhesive, but great for banner. Also good for outgassing and just draping stuff over to keep the table free. I think one of my winter projects will be a catcher for when I'm cutting vinyl though.

I use the Sooper Edge, nice big neoprene pad underneath so it doesn't slide and can handle a slightly warped table. it is the tool I use the most in my business and has saved my fingertips many times.

I run a lot hotter than 35 for all my vinyl, I found the grainy issue with banner was solved by more heat.

I have the VP540. Yes it's 4 colour process. I can count on one finger the number of times in the last year the gamut wasn't quite detailed enough. The 6 colours will be useful only if you do a lot of high quality work...professional photographic quality. Ordinary sign printing, printing...

...is this a real question? You go down to the hardware store and buy a knife and a ruler with some finger protection. How are you managing now? Do you chew the excess off?

Okay a handfull of the new features are nice, but frankly when I paid to upgrade to CS5 I felt cheated. (not as cheated as I did a few months later when that blatant cash grab 5.5 came out). 99.9% of what I use was done in CS2, all I gained was more stability in .pdf files. Not to mention I...

My IE is so buggy I have switched to firefox. And of course I would rather have Helvetica than IE. lets all go back to Netscape.

there is worse than getting a little heat...getting no response at all. mixed in with the flames was a good answer. To tell the truth I have never had to preassemble, now I'll avoid it if I'm tempted.

Oracal 8510, used a ton of it in the last year, it has the same silver cast as the aluminim window frame. If you find one you like stick with it, otherwise you end up with a lot of little roll-ends. Bubble free etched? I'll have to look into that.

another vote for rapid-tac, but I too have encoutered that window treatment that is designed to shrug off dirt. It also shrugs off frosted vinyl, I had to redo that one dry. plus customers love the smell of rapid-tac, a nice chaser to the harsh isopropyl

tried all kinds of laminates, never happy with the results so I usually run with no lam. I have tried all kinds of perf/lam on my own vehicle and was never happy with the results. I let my customers know what to expect.

It looks like the mutoh, mimaki or roland with the roland really trailing behind. The jf1631 is probably the front runner because it has a vaccum table and I have a local supplier, then the ValueJet 1608HS, but thats a pinch roller so...
