  1. wrapping over a wrap... any specific concerns I should be aware of?

    I've printed everything on IJ180C, and laminated with Oraguard 290. I'm doing a 24' box truck & it has been wrapped before. The colors look pretty shabby because I think it had some kind of liquid laminate brushed on, which seems not to have worked, but it looks like a good air release vinyl...
  2. questions on cutting, prepping, & painting acrylic

    The first attachment will be the proof of my final product. I wanted to do most of this sign as a single 3D routed HDU sign, and even got as far as programing (& test running a small sample of) the woven mat background, which is an actual Bamboo product... ...but my client really wants to go...

  4. posting links to my latest jams on the drums

    I've considered myself a musician for many more years then I've been a sign guy, although it's always been a hobby & never a career. When I first stepped into the shoes of sign shop owner however, I quit the best band i was ever in because I knew I'd be married to this business in ways that...
  5. envision plotter cutting crisis

    Has anyone encountered this problem with the Gerber Envision Plotter? When weeding many of my repeat decal cuts lately, I'm encountering a bad spot in each decal, in the same area. The backing paper indicates that the plotter cuts fine 95% of the way & then changes to a more shallow depth...
  6. SAi dongle time-out issue on upgrade for Enroute

    SAi who makes Flexi, also makes Enroute for CNC production. I'm posting this in the Flexi forum, because I didn't see an Enroute section, and the issue at hand may be identical to how Flexi upgrades are handled. I upgraded from Enroute 3 to 4 & was also needing to have compatibility with a 64...

    I got a decent HP media center pc at an auction today, & it runs real well logged in as a guest, but the former owner had a password that I don't have for logging in as administrator. The D drive has the recovery files, but my web searching tells me to go to start menu>PC tools>HP system...

  9. can anyone share advice on E-Fax, MyFax or other alternative fax solutions?

    I am tired of paying for a dedicated fax line (split with my CC terminal) ...and I am also quite aware of how little I receive faxes anymore, such that I forget to check the computer based faxes for a week or more at times. Yesterday I learned that I missed a shot at a job because I didn't see...

  12. 50" big squeegee, 60" print... YES or NO? ...QUICK!!

    ok, I'm going to pick one & run with it in the next 15 minutes... it looks so temptingly close that part of me wants to use the BS... with 4 inches on each side (I lied, it's a 58" wide print & 68" long) that would be left to chance, it hardly seems like enough to wrinkle, but it's 3651, so I...
  13. ?'s on routed flat letters out of 2 plys of Extira

    I spent about an hour reading up on Extira, after a thread last week where i got some good FCO material suggestions for my router. I'd like to do some 1-1/2" letters out of this material because I can get it locally. By the time I work on it, there may be less savings over HDU, but it is...
  14. ?'s about cutting .060 aluminum with utility knife...

    I've read several times where Techman and others have mentioned this technique, so I finally want to try it. I have a 58" x 68" laminated print to mount & the aluminum sheet is 60 x 120. I am aware that I can do this with my router, but as techman mentioned, the hand cutting technique...
  15. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    I have a friend opening a new restaurant. He is in an area with very little rain & will have some 1-1/2" thick, 15" tall foam letters, with digitally printed faces tucked back under an overhang. We had discussed primed & painted HDU and a veneer of acrylic with the printed graphics. His...
  16. exterior stud mounted letter material OPTIONS? (halo lit options too)

    OK, this is a wide open appeal to be educated by folks who are further down this road then I am... there is a lot I've done & seen... but there are some new areas I want to explore... and I hope to shorten the learning curve a bit. Many here know I added a CNC machine last year. It is not...
  17. I hate asking dumb questions, but can I cut marble on my router?

    I've never thought to ask this before, but I picked up a nice small slab and it reminded me of how nice Corian and other composites look when routed. I have no idea what the floor and countertop guys use for this, but I imagine it a lot harder stuff then Corian. Is it even an option with a CNC?
  18. anyone using 3M textured wall material? (3M IJ8624)

    well, I pretty much avoided Vista like the plague... and then (about 2 years ago) I got jammed up by some losers at Sony.com, when they took an order for a laptop with XP, to be rushed out in time for a business trip... when the shipment was 2 days late I contacted them & they hadn't bothered to...
