    Anyone using SignLab 10? Love it? Hate it? Thx.
  2. Question VJ1304:empty ink lines prior to installing cleaning carts?

    try moving the print head off the capping station then load up the capping station with Mutoh cleaning solution and immediately return the return (manually) to the capping station. Let it sit for a while, then cleaning cycle, then nozzle check. Repeat until all nozzles are clear. - Might work...

    Nice machine, but the last time I tried, Flexi will not run in bootcamp (if that is what you are doing) Might be worth checking out if flexi will be in your workflow on that machine..
  5. Font Help Please

    - here is a starter file that might be helpful. remember... this is a PITA job! Good Luck. ((since much of the geometry is redundant, you can copy/paste/join new sections without recreating the same lines/arcs/angles for each letter. This would also keep the finished line art consistent though...

  7. Font Help Please

    PITA Method: in illustrator you could also turn this to greyscale (& unify color value), vectorize at original resolution (or lower). and then clean up/simplify: ((at least it's flat))

  11. High Per. Vinyl Failing In Winter

    Hi, interesting... Sweating, - does that mean some of the tank's gas is dissolving out thought the tank walls and becoming entrapped under the vinyl? - Are they refusing due to static discharge concerns of the above?
  12. IOM for wall mural?

    I am going to try this: Arlon DPF 8000 3.5 Mil 7yr | FELLERS Based on your recommendation to look at Arlon, DPF 8000 looks like the right stuff. I have made this decision based on DPF 8000's aggressive adhesive since this will be a large full-wall marketing piece on an interior automotive...
  13. High Per. Vinyl Failing In Winter

    Not tape. I was thinking of a liquid surface sealant like 3M 051128-82018 Clear 3950 Edge Sealer. If concerned about edge appearance, mask edges before application and remove mask before the sealant is fully dry (but not runny which will ruin the edge). It has worked well for us in similar...
  14. High Per. Vinyl Failing In Winter

    I believe that solvents or cleaners such as Windex-type glass cleaners, Rainex, etc., also contain ammonia which is destructive to the adhesive in vinyl media. Also, sealing the edges could help if edge lift due to pressure washing turns out to be a factor.

  17. Help choosing computer??

    i7 is hyper-thread capable. (mindful that HT performance is also app-dependent.) For us, the cost-performance ratio is too far skewed toward cost with Xeon. - 2 strong i7 machines can yield better productivity than a single Xeon computer. (Not-with-standing dual CPU Xeons machines). - ((forget...

    Thought about it & took a look at some print settings here. Here is what I found: 1440 x 720 + fine & fog 3 + 300 dpi file - no over saturation no ink flooding on vinyl media: 1440 x 1440 + fine & fog 3 + 300 dpi file - no over saturation no ink flooding on paper media: So, 1440x1440 or...

    Agreed. My portable is a 16 GB Macbook Pro running Bootcamp (lol). Although I am not a Mac guy I appreciate Apple's build quality, The machine is 4 years old now and holding up well. - I have noticed that HP has come out with some really nice, quality built portable machines lately.
