    I like the oval too. I really like the effect in the words ice cream. very cool.
  2. Need help with static cling

    I'm using Rite-media white static cling to print "dash-cards". they're about 3x4" and get mounted to the inside of your car windshield for identification purposes. Here's the problem. Ink residue sticks to the glass when you remove the cling. Not good. especially when you have a few hundred...
  3. whats wrong with my XC-540?

    Sounds like dirty or old wiper blades. Perform maintenance and clean em up. If the blades are in bad shape (ie, not standing up straight, bad edges, etc) than it's time to replace them. Not sure how old your machine or blades are, but the last batch of blades i bought no longer have the...
  4. Latest progress on the Coro-Plane project.

    Don't forget to make some coro-cup holders for the beer!
  5. Ignorant cheap people...this is driving me nuts!!!

    I'm with K6 on this. the average joe does not understand that shop A is selling apples and shop B is selling oranges. There's a big difference between intermediate vinyl and high performance however the client doesn't know this, doesn't have to know this and doesn't want to know this. i like...
  6. Wall graphics not sticking.

    I usually print/cut right away. i'll try some samples and let them sit for a while before cutting. The fabrics are great for simple shapes but I'm planing to do some fancy-shmancy contour cutting.
  7. Seamless production tables??

    I have a glass table top. works great
  8. Wall graphics not sticking.

    I have a roll of ORAJET® Series 3628 Movable Wall & Window Graphics Inkjet Media. I printed a few test pieces. The first one is a rectangle print/cut to the edge. The second is the same file with a white border. I installed both pieces on a clean, painted dry wall surface. I wanted to see...
  9. How honest are you?

    Wow, do any of you know what a douche bag is? I do. Gregg, take a look in the mirror. Now you can say you know one thing for sure. And did you really quote Stephen King? Really? Stephen King? Maybe if you spent a little less time humping dingos and a little less time filling your...
  10. Laminator Skew Royal Sovereign

    Check the tension on your rollers. sounds like it should be good but just check to make sure and adjust if necessary. I find I have to calibrate my RS about once a year. Also, make sure the vinyl is straight and tightly rolled on the core. I find that sometimes the vinyl will "skew" on the...
  11. 65" Enduralam dropping?

    First of all, you'll never get anything laminated properly if you're setting it up and going for lunch. Lamination is an art and the laminator MUST have a babysitter while in use. I've been running various laminators for about 11 years. Making sure everything is properly calibrated is key...
  12. Too many sign shops!!

    I'm diggin' this post. I have about 20 shops with a 10 block radius. I think some of you old timers have to change your point of view a little bit and here's why - Get to know the competition and share your "trade secrets". It's good for everybody. When I was starting out, I met the...
  13. Portable Printer

    Wow Si! Who pissed your cornflakes? I guess not all PhD's pay attention to detail. I'm re-reading my post trying to figure out where is says I wanted to give my print-outs to the client immediately. Common now, shouldn't you be getting drunk and stroking profiles or something? Thanks to...
  14. Portable Printer

    BTW, I'm talking about a desktop type printer (8.5x11) in case you where wondering.
  15. Portable Printer

    I've got a few large site surveys coming up. I was thinking it would be pretty handy to bring along a potable printer with me. You know, take some photos, import to laptop and than print, take measurements, etc... Can anyone recommend a decently priced portable color printer?
  16. Slow printing/pausing on high speed setting

    I'm not sure. I get the same problem sometimes but it only seems to happen on large files. Not sure where the backup is happening. Can someone enlighten us?
  17. posted shop charges

    I'm actually a priest in a far off land helping the natives fight Herpatitis A, B, and F. I need to order 1 bazillion sandblasted signs. They're very simple (say no to herpatitis) and I'm happy to pay the 50% up front using the money I have sitting in an offshore bank account that belongs to...
  18. Best banner welder and stitcher?

    http://www.weldmaster.com/ I've used Miller and they're great! http://www.hikereyelets.com/ This is the only one I'm familiar with. I suggest you figure out the needs of your new bosses and how much of this stuff the company actually be doing. If the volume is there, I say "don't be...
  19. Media flanges

    I only use them for long runs. Say anything over 20'. Helps keep the vinyl from bunching up on the back of the machine.
  20. Contour Cut Perf Vinyl with Lamination

    I use a 60. You gotta test cut till it works.
