Question of the day: Why do people selling their pontoon boats keep the trailer? All the ads I've ever looked at don't include the trailer.(been looking since last year) Yet you go to the dealer to buy a pontoon boat and it includes the trailer.o_O Are they that valuable a commodity? Better...

Anybody seen one of these in action? Wife told me about it after she saw it on her FB feed. Seems they've been around for at least five years, maybe more? Watched a video of one doing three huge murals on the side of an auto body shop in Los Angeles. Impressive. Just wondering if they will...

Is it just me or are others annoyed when a disagree shows on a post and there's no explanation why?

There were posts regarding where to buy pre-made apparel transfers and which company has great service. Tried using the search function but can't find anything. IIRC FM Expressions was one of the places mentioned but not sure. Printing, cutting, taping, pressing right now and want to...

I tried the search and didn't find anything relating to automotive finishes on wood. Tried a Google search and instead of help those forums devolve into opinions/bickering. Since it's for a yacht client spec is a base/clear finish. While I've gotten base/clear on wood stands that hold up...

Client wants 36" diameter full color floor graphics for their factory. It's to honor their essential workers that haven't missed a day since the shut down. Forklifts are used to move product but aren't running constantly. Will be applied to smooth concrete. Need a material recommendation...

I searched and read posts pertaining to anti-static wire/cord for printers. Didn't find too much other than buying a kit. Since I'm stuck here I'd like to put my own together unless it's cheaper to buy premade.

Add Wisconsin to the list of stay at home states. Will take effect tomorrow.

Heard on the morning news South Korea is reporting lots of cases of coronavirus. I'm wondering how that will affect sign makers. JetFlex banner and PhotoTex come from South Korea. Not sure what else. Products from China is anybodies guess. Was thinking about getting some material while it's...

If you don't have carbon monoxide detectors drop what you're doing and get them now. All the big box stores sell CO detectors and they're dirt cheap. No excuse not to have them. One in our bedroom went off at 70ppm. Fire department came by and did a thorough check. Firefighter said 10ppm is...

As suggested a profile was created using Flexi. Turned out horrible. No gamut to speak of along with holes in certain area. (see attached pic) Not sure what happened or why. Best guess would be ink limits. Total ink limits ended up at 85% per channel. For whatever it's worth it did print a...

Back again with more profiling questions. Trying to use X-Rite independently to generate an ICC profile. Even though I'm using Flexi to drive the printer I can't use the Wizard for what I'm doing. I'm trying to figure out a process that can generate a profile independent of any known RIP. By...

Used the search function and didn't find anything pertaining to my situation. Running a new Mutoh 1624x with Flexi Pro. On campus I have access to i1 profiling equipment including automated chart reader. Couple questions: Can I just follow the prompts in the advanced tab or..? Will there be...

Well folks my Ridgid cordless heat gun arrived yesterday. Was looking for options after I saw a test of the Milwaukee and Ryobi that ran on battery only. Both died 9 minutes in. Not useful for the type of work I do. Did a test run and so far I'm impressed. It ran for 31 minutes wide open...

Found this on YouTube last night: https://www.yetitool.com/products/product-details/smartbench I think it's pretty slick. If it holds register for things like push through I'd be interested. I'll let the CNC gurus take over and give their thoughts.

Computer gurus. I've been looking at 2012 vintage Apple Mac Pro's. Liking what I see since you can upgrade everything. Not like the soldered in place for life rigs Apple makes now. But but but you can build a PC that will do backflips for mere pennies. Not an option I need to tread both...

Hoping someone can help. We have latest version of Quickbooks. Exporting to Excel works, but then the problems start. Some things are locked out or put in odd places. We want to use Excel to generate ordering summaries such as last time an item was purchased, quantities, unit cost etc... As...

Client wants to hang 48"x72" poster on the wall. I checked the web and found several vendors that make frames, but don't know if they're any good. Would appreciate any insight. Already thought about PhotoTex, or direct print on foam core then hang with french cleat.

Sold my old printer to make room for the new printer. Wife recently said she wants a laser. I'd like to have a small format CNC with 4'x4' cut area. Products...? Industrial equipment tags for the time being. Other than that grow into the rig. What do the Signs 101 experts say?

Going to attach a 20"x48" 3mm ACM panel to a dump trailer. Uprights on trailer span 42". I can rivet and Lexel to the uprights easy enough. Rivets are 3/16" stock car rivets, 5/8" head. Question is do I need horizontal stringers to rivet/Lexel to? I'm thinking yes, but someone may have a...
