Welcome from BC! I grew up in the Windsor area. What part are you in? Here's my advise for equipment - Buy the biggest, baddest machine you can afford. You'd be surprised how quickly you can out grow equipment. Keep in mind that you will probably want other equipment to compliment your...

I just got the Triad last week. I'm still in the "testing" phase however I'm pretty happy with it so far. Definitely more than 4 grand though.

Actual slogan - Make an impression that sticks! For "install only" clients I'd like to use - Where do you want me to stick it? What I really want to change my slogan to - Sorry, my crystal ball is in the shop...

Maybe so, but it's all the extra's that help to sell the sizzle! Plus that's the kinda stuff I get paid to do...

What's making the sensor trip? No offense, but it kinda sounds like operator error. It's been many years since I've run a seal but I seem to remember putting a piece of tape over the sensors did the trick. I could be wrong though. Plus, I'm sure sensor technology has changed quite a bit...

Are you talking about replacing the pinch rollers? If so, put a rag over the work area or better yet, just keep the media fully loaded - you don't want these small parts falling into the printer. After that, you need some needle nose pliers, a magnet and some magnetized tools like a flat head...

What has 2 thumbs and isn't working tomorrow? This Guy. I got some rememberin' to do, followed by beer drikin' which will eventually lead to forgettin' and ultimately end up with me being late for work on Friday. My Grandpa (WWII) would be proud.

This font or something close will work just fine. Cheers

Select the areas with the drop shadows and hit "flatten Transparency". Than trun off "preserve over prints and spot colors". Some one may have some better info soon.

What's your budget? How much space do you have? How many one off's can you sell at a price that people want to pay? How big are your on off's? Roland makes nice stuff.

Should be pretty clear. I usually slow my head speed down when printing small type.

Bahhh, back in MY day we didn't have no perspective tool!!! We had to do it manually uphill both ways in snow with no shoes!!! Wow, pretty cool. Didn't know that was in there. Thanks for the vid.

Sounds a little high. Did you check the cutting strip? It may need to be replaced.

ISign, Sorry, I should of explained more. the first one is on white backer. The second is just clear mounted to milk plexi. The stained glass is what we call "movie magic". They are from the "watch tower" set on Smallville. Clear vinyl mounted to the back side of clear plexi. The lead...

Word of caution when doing reverse prints on clear with a white backer. The clear adhesive may not be as clear as it looks. There's usually a bit of a color shift when viewed through the adhesive. I find that oracle 3651 has a yellow tinge to it so your prints will looks more yellow than you...

Proof that you can print on clear. Sorry, crappy cell phone pics. From left to right. Reverse print on cleat with white backer mounted inside window. Clear mounted to milk plexi the last 2 are clear mounted to clear plexi for stained glass look. This is all printed at double pass.

+1 phototex. But it sounds like he may be to cheap for that too.

I do it all the time. The key is to wax everything first than apply the vinyl. The adhesive will hold but it will come off with ease. I usually use spray wax however I was recently introduced to Mothers Carnauba Wax. they tell me it's the cats arse and so far, i have to agree. Rain Ex...

There are companies that are starting to recycle it. They're also recycling pre-mask and some vinyls. Not sure if it's available in your area but it's starting to happen around here.

Sounds like one of your jets has a little clog in it and it's spraying ink side ways instead of straight down. I could be wrong but I'd give it a good cleaning.
