  3. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    That's the problem, most wall-specific vinyls can't be laminated. 3M does have a wall vinyl but I'm with Circleville, I'm almost positive you can't laminate, justs like Phototex.
  4. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    It's painted plaster, not drywall. We're having it plastered since that will help minimize damage to the wall over drywall. I never thought of Primer 94. Does it work okay on normal vinyl, I've never used it on anything but 180C. I assume it would, just wouldn't want to use it with a media with...
  5. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    I've got a customer wanting to do two decent sized walls (overall 9'x24') with a mural, but they need it to be dry-erasable, meaning we'll have to laminate whatever vinyl we go with with a dry-erase laminate, probably Wypet from Fellers. This is a permanent deal, I've already informed them we...
  6. Formula/chart for making pole pockets?

    lol, It's alot easier to play blackjack when they do the math for you, I can add them up pretty quick but not as fast as some of the pros and then you hold the game up, so I just let them tell me! Do the math for various sized poles and make yourself up a chart with most of the more common...
  7. Formula/chart for making pole pockets?

    Bob is right, 3.14 x o.d. of pole, plus some for slack, plus material for hem. If it's a 2" o.d. pole, we'll add 8.25" of material roughly (about 6.25" for the pole, about .5" for slack and 1.5" for the hem). If the pocket is to be part of the banner and not extend beyond the actual live area of...
  8. Help!!! Ultraflex banner printing problem

    Try your leftover roll without changing anything to see if the problem carries over to it. If it does then the problem is the printer settings and not the roll. Heat temps are all over the place for banner material, but we have good luck running Ultraflexx at 45 preheat, 42 print and 50 for the...
  9. Help!!! Ultraflex banner printing problem

    Are you sure you are using the right profile with the right heat settings? What is your heat set at? Dunno if it helps, but about 2 months ago we had a bad roll of Jetflexx 13oz that would buckle no matter how much or little heat we used, exchanged it and it was fine. That was the first bad...

    Are you being asked to perform one by another sign company? If so and you have to ask this question you are not qualified to do the work, no offense.
  12. CS4 Illustrator Question

    CS4 got rid of the expand button in the pathfinder window. Now you have to make a compound path out of the letters as Caleb describes.
  13. Question about the new Google Phone

    All the reviews I've read about it seem excellent so far. It's way too new to see how it'll hold up long term but it looks pretty awesome so far. I haven't used one in person, but I got a chance to mess around with a friend's Verion Droid which is very similar and runs the same OS, and it's an...
  14. Client count?

    We ran that report a couple months ago, I can't remember the exact number but it's about 1500 or so over 7 years. I do remember that approx. 75% of our sales came from only about 7-8% of those customers though.
  15. cover broken jv33 - not i'm stuck

    It sounds like your problem was solved, but I'd recommend you remove the metal "activator" from the cover and stick it to the sensor, it's magnetized so it'll stick to it. That way you can open the cover while the printer is printing in case you need to. We run ours with the cover up all the...
  16. Winter Wonderland...

    We got about 4-5" yesterday, not much but enough to make me act like a kid in a candy shop. I love snow, if it's going to be miserably cold out, at least put snow on the ground, I don't think there's much in this world more beautiful than a snow covered landscape so I'm loving it. I'm planning...

  18. Infrared dry heaters - do they work?

    That's the same one we have, they didn't have the timer feature when we got ours, but I just looked it up and it's exactly what I need...
  19. Infrared dry heaters - do they work?

    Yup, they work great, but there are some things to keep in mind. They don't automatically shut off when the print is done, so if you leave a long run of banners overnight and it stops in the middle of the night, the heaters will probably melt the media or you may come to work to find a burned...
