  1. Website help, Wordpress.

    I have done a lot of WP sites. I would recommend Securi or wordfence plugin for security. Cloudflare is also a good thing to use. The SSL issue isn't related to your use of wordpress but at your host. You'll just need to buy and install an SSL certificate. Woocommerce is good for ecommerce...
  2. Question Is it ok to laminate after printing on my fb750?

    We experimented with this and didn't find a film based laminate that worked properly on UV prints. They don't stick well at all. This has come up before so you might try the search. Our solution for Aluminum was to use liquid laminate. Drytac sells several machines. Although your tech is...
  3. It worth paying 2000 more for buy summa s2class d140 instead of summacut d140r ???

    I just had to make this same decision about a month ago. I ended up going for the d140r and have no complaints about it so far. I've used the flex cut and also have cut multiple 15ft wraps on the first try. I bought my machine for what I'd consider a light use (1-2 hrs per day). I couldn't...
  4. FB500 Color specifically Red

    Try the higher quality (slower) print modes, we found it was possible to get good reds when needed in those. If you are looking for a production mode to get the good Red we found that wasn't possible.
  5. Design Online??

    I've spent the last 10 years building design online software. My advice would be to Google "Birthday Banners" take note of the price other companies charge online. Add in the development cost and advertising cost and you'll quickly find out your time would be better spent on some other...
  6. Need Help Chrome Rtape Vinyl cutting issue

    You could cut out and surround the dots with white If you suspect a registration issue. This type of film can also slip easily. I would do a test with an extremely slow cutting speed to rule out slipping.
  7. What entry-level laminator do you recommend?

    I run a USTECH VT600. It is a tank but works fine.
  8. Which air egress vinyl? (Not wrap materials)

    I do lettering almost exclusively on my machines. I think IJ35C/8508 is easier to weed than 3165RA. I've used that for years as well. That being said though I still don't like to do under an inch on print media with laminate in any sort of quantity. Usually use the edge for that or colored...
  9. Need Help When dealing with a vector file that is missing files and fonts...

    We've done this for years. We got to the point with customers a long time ago where we would just say, "Send us a PDF"
  10. Flatbed Ink peeling like vinyl??

    Long story short this is probably related to the brand and type of corrugated you printed on. This also could have been a sheet at the top or bottom of the stack (some sort of contamination). Some corrugated works less ideal than others. The ink likely wasn't stuck very well when you first...

    I know some of you can relate to this. And the ending font :p
  12. Drop "business" phone line?

    I use a cisco SIP phone and an account on Anveo.com which is a virtual PBX phone system. It costs <$10/m on average. Pay for what you use type of model and literally does anything you'd ever want. Phone numbers are anywhere from $1-3/month. Auto attendant, call menu, voicemail, etc. Makes...
  13. Discussion Considering the switch to latex, Who's done it and Whats your thoughts

    Just based on your goal of finishing jobs faster I think you'll find that is one of the latex machines best selling points. In my experience the 560/570 series is the best so far. I work closely with a shop that has 3 570s. Generally they are good machines and work horses. I have a 26500 and...
  14. Grimco buys Advantage Sign & Graphic Solutions/Advantage Sign Supply

    I have worked with many nice people at Advantage over the years I hope they get to keep their jobs.
  15. Suggestions Roland BN20 and Mimaki CJV150-75 Same Price. Which Would You Buy?

    For the same price this is a complete no brainer. Get The Mimaki. The Mimaki is a nice machine. A good friend of mine has one. You will be horribly limited with the bn20 because of the speed.
  16. Opinions for new laminator needed - interested in one with take-up...

    I got a good buy on the VT-9600 and currently use one. It is a tank but works well I really don't use the take up though however the system seems solid. My biggest complaint is the wheel to raise and lower the roller. It is designed in such a way that it can come off the gear if you roll it...

    I have used a lot of the rtape outdoor chrome. Most all foils work well on it including gerber white.
  18. Does Roll to Roll UV Printer Need Ionizer Bar?

    We used to fight our old Agfa without an ionizer bar with static but one of the ways we pinned our issues to static was putting rolled vinyl on the machine. It would always print perfect, load various sheet media and it would show static issues. After adding an ionizer bar it fixed it all...
  19. WannaCry ransomware

    It is not worth the risk to skip updates these days. You can roll them back if they break something. This ransomeware is based on an actual NSA exploit released to the internet recently. It was patched by Microsoft 2 months ago. UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS
  20. Opinion Buying A Flatbed Printer

    Just a few more random thoughts. As far as the Agfa I'm not particularly impressed with how their belt system works for starters. Just a quick glance it appears they use the same style they have for years. We used to to run an M4f the belt walks and it's a headache in general. At some point...
