  1. Cutting Acrylic?

    I would imagine you can probably walk into most any hardware store and buy a blade for cutting plastic. If you can't find one, you want a high TCG tooth count (80+) and a negative rake angle (like -2 or -3 is good). Be careful with a negative rake if you're using it in a table saw or hand saw as...
  2. Shop Pics

    What exactly does a "real shop" look like? Looks great to me.
  3. Looking for Beta Sites!

    Well, there's definitely interest here.
  4. Looking for Beta Sites!

    We're located in Kentucky. We're primarily an HP company, so I'd have to convince a few people. Haha! Funny thing, we've got two HP flatbeds right now and talking about a third, I've been trying to convince them we need a swissQprint, but that's a very hard sell.
  5. Looking for Beta Sites!

    I'd be all over this if we were based on the West Coast.
  6. What would you do....?

    Tell him he'll have to buy a new truck.
  7. Vinyl removal...

    I think his point is that it's better to look prepared for anything than to show up with just a scraper and a spray bottle, even if that's all you need to do the job.
  8. Color calibration tools.. what do you use?

    I think each computer has to have its own license and dongle.
  9. Banner with D-Ring Instead of Gromet

    Webbing that's been looped back on itself and hemmed into the banner would be my guess.
  10. Shop Pics

    All the messy shop pictures makes me feel a lot better about ours. Haha!
  11. Shop Pics

    Very nice! (Your English is fine, better than some of the native speakers on this forum, even. ;) )
  12. Color calibration tools.. what do you use?

    I would second talking to Mike Adams. I spent some time talking with him when I was at another company, he's incredibly knowledgeable and a very, very nice guy. I'm not sure if the company ever went through with the process, as I left shortly after talking to Mike. He knows his stuff.
  13. Color calibration tools.. what do you use?

    If you're after color management, my understanding is that Caldera and Onyx are "the best" in regards to profiling. There are a couple of guys that do nothing but color correction and calibration and they'll come to your shop and calibrate EVERYTHING and get it all as close to matching as...
  14. Color calibration tools.. what do you use?

    Having your monitors color correct is useful, but it's not necessary. You can get your printers to print the exact same colors (by the numbers), within their respective gamuts, but they'll never look exactly the same due to the difference in the UV and solvent inks. A spectrophotometer will not...
  15. Need Help Have you seen this before?

    Ha! I think that's probably the same thing I read a while back. Was it on the HP site? I think switching media is probably your best bet.
  16. Shop Pics

    We have imgur blocked for some reason. Oh, well.
  17. Is customer trying to scam me?

    Where's Gino? Somebody tell him there's more good news.
  18. Need Help Have you seen this before?

    I think the answer (from HP) is that it's plasticizer migration in the media, which leads to issues like you're having. It also causes pinch roller marks to be much more visible. If you can clean the material with IPA and it stops doing it, there's your answer. The solution seems to be...
  19. I'm just a lowly sales guy... but...

    Well, it was a good run while it lasted. Nice knowing y'all.
  20. Shop Pics

    Am I the only one that can't see the pictures? :'(
