I am trying to create a gradient to match a specific vinyl that is being cut and applied to a sign.. I found a great colour match by printing 720 x 1440 pantone 2728c, which I found in my colour bar at the bottom of my screen. Now when I go in and try to create the gradient I hit the advanced...

I ordered 7 yards of 15" reflective yellow vinyl to be run on my Edge. I just loaded it and within the first 30", I find this!! I can only hope they calculated the 7 yards after the seam.

Tested Sharpies and after 2 or 3 hours I can still get them to smudge.... I don't know if there is anything that can be used...any one have experience with this?

I ask this as a customer brought me in the front panel for a display table. It was made of corrugated plastic and then bent to fit around the unit. i thought...yes this is a piece of cake...then realized that the corrogated needed to be vertical to be able to bend. the piece is 80" x 35.5". I...

I find this strange that when researching retractable banner material that they are described by weight or by thickness...Is there a corelation between the 2? How do you convert mil(s) to Ounces? or are they 2 completely different references.

I am very experienced at applying vinyl and had a truck this weekend that had about a 22" x 8' graphic in 1 colour to apply to a Savanah. I had to work alone and had no help so I decided that for the main graphic being that large that I would use Rapid Tac to do the application. I squeegeed...

I normally never purchase a 50 yard roll of Gerber 3M reflective...usually 10 or 20 yards, so the distributor just cuts it off a roll. Today I needed 70 yards and when I picked it up the full roll has a piece of paper with an attention!! New print settings for 280i. Says that you need to use...

found this on my Facebook feed this morning...pretty cool, but I can just imagine how they look when someone without experience installs them

Customer gives me a spec sheet for a township and they are requesting pole signs 2" x 12" that are strapped onto the light standards. The aluminum is covered with high intensity reflective and black numbers. My regular supplier does not have clear anodized 1/16 of an inch and asked why we...

Everyday it seems something new seems to happen. received a print file from another sign shop and he had the sizes in his message. I import the file in Signlab and they come in about 1/3 the size. I told him, and he said that he received them from his client and when he opened them in Corel...

I am posting a pic of my head unit. I saw this one connector that looks strange where it is...it is not loose but maybe it has something to do with the electric eye when setting up a new roll of material. I just found it odd the way it looked jammed in there

I have a heating air conditioning compnay that wanted decals to put on furnaces. He was worried that they would not stick and I assured him that they should be no problem considering that decals on vehicles stick on hot metal during the summer. Maybe I was wrong, but I printed him 100 labels...

I realize that this product is rated as a 3year low end vinyl. I am curious of those that use it how they like it and just what would they use it for besides coro signs. i suppose it is good for any indoor application as well.

I have a logo with a gradient in it that was created in illustrator. I generally do all my work in Signlab for cutting and setting up vinyl cut and print jobs. I use Flexi for the printing end, however I am not as accomplished in the software so do everything in Signlab and export as an eps to...

This must be the cricket of laser engraving..... 1000mW High Speed Miniature Laser... - TOMTOP @ Facebook | Facebook

Basically have to strip current logos off of 9 truck doors (aluminum) and re-letter with basically 3 lines of generic copy. Easy job, except it is now winter and too cold to work outside. They have no indoor facilities and I suggested that we need to cover up whats on there now and wait till...

Sort of got roped into a tricky install this morning. Received a call from a body shop that I generally do brake caliper decals for. They do work on astin martins, porches lambo's you name it.... I get there and I said OK where is the car and what do you want put on it.... I was thinking...

Customer wants their logo on the side of a transit in white reflective with a black key line all around it. I am thinking that the only way i can do this is to drop the reflective onto a 2ml black, but the only way that is happening is if I do it wet. Yes I know they say you shouldn't do...

I am in a bit of a pickle.... A good customer of mine ordered 500 aluminum plates 2" x 3" with 4 holes screen printed black with clear openings so that they could stamp part numbers and whatever else they put on them. They reorder them this year and I get a price from that company and they...

I was sending a job this morning and there are many things in print manager that I never click or question, but I see a box that could be clicked that says "print spot colors" and next to it is a mapping button. Anybody know what this does and should I have been using it for the last 8 years?
