  1. Wasatch VS Onyx

    I've used both and prefer wasatch. I'd have no issues whatsoever running that job and creating all the contour cuts in illy. Given the option I'd use colorburst over wasatch in a heartbeat. Excellent quality, superior color control and tech support who are friendly and helpful. I'm not sure if...
  2. Our new production addition.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm kind of shocked that latex ink is considered the safest. Especially considering how many times I've been asked if I have a latex allergy. Live and learn.
  3. Our new production addition.

    Congrats on the addition. If you don't mind my asking, what were the issues your clients have with UV curable? Solvent I can understand due to the environmental issues, but isn't UV curable is supposed to be known for it's lower environmental impact?
  4. Traffic Signs Supplier

    Anybody know of a traffic signs supplier that does wholesale to the trade? I'm also looking for barricades, looper tubes and some type C lights Preferably in Canada, but if they can manufacture to our specs it doesn't make a difference.
  5. Printer Problem......??

    That's why I have a shop cat.
  6. I1 Isis calibration problems

    I would go back to X-rite and speak with someone else. They should all be calibrated to the same standard.
  7. frog juice question

    I've tried both Frog Juice and ClearStar. ClearStar all the way!
  8. Printer cleaning?

    I just use the same solvent I use to clean the print head with. It's the same solvent in the ink. Comes right off.
  9. A great way to END the week off bad!

    It'll buff out.
  10. For all the iPad haters out there

    The fastest adoption of technology in a new product category ever. For those PC fanbois who still think Apple is no good..... .....check the scoreboard lately?
  11. Canon 8400 as a first printer?

    It's an aqueous machine. The inks won't last but a couple of weeks outdoors. You need a solvent or eco-solvent printer for outdoor use.
  12. best laminator on the market

    I've never had a problem laminating full rolls with my GBC arctic titan. In fact it's easier to do a full roll than sheet laminating. Like any laminator it has a learning curve. I ruined a few prints getting to grips with it but it's been smooth sailing ever since.
  13. Pictures of MX bikes you made graphics for!

    Here's one I just got a photo back on.
  14. Scanning Around With Gene: When Letraset Was King

    We had racks and racks and racks of the stuff. Comping markers too. Every color under the sun it seemed. The oldest tool in my shop that sees continual daily usage is the little roller wheel I used to used to burnish down waxed galley type and letraset from back in the day. I'm not when my dad...
  15. Very Important and worth the read...............

    If I see an infant car seat abandoned at the side of the road that looks like it could have a child left in it I'm stopping.
  16. fire dept wouldn't put the fire out...

    I have to agree. You tend not to complain so much about taxes when you see that get something for your money. A case like this makes me grateful for what we have here. I grew up in the prairies and have friends who have been part of rural volunteer departments. Shoot I've even been out to a...
  17. What do you wear to work?

    I'm not wearing any pants right now.
  18. dx5 printing full mono (all jets)

    You know what. I just checked colorburst's website and they now support the JV33 with their pro version. They claim custom inksets for all supported printers. I've always loved their rips. Fast like crazy and tons of control over all aspects of color. Call them, I'm positive they'd be far more...
  19. dx5 printing full mono (all jets)

    Wasatch can do it with the JV5, but even though they told me prior to purchase that it was possible on the JV33 apparently it's not. Unless Mimaki has released new firmware. They may have done so. I've see that they have released some new inks (metallic silver and a light black HS) since I...
  20. Banner Trimmers

    Look into a zund table with a conveyor feed. Probably not as fast as doing a whole roll at once with a double sided slitter, but far more flexible. More accurate too. Media tends to wander from side to side a touch when being transferred from one roll to another.
