  1. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    Canada's very strict about weapons. If someone breaks into your house and you shoot them with the gun you legally own.... You can still goto jail. It's not likelly, but you're not really protected under any law. I don't care though, what's a law and what the cops think is a reasonable law...
  2. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    No kidding right. I know angle grinders get through metal fast, but its a pretty thick door... And to get through 2 of them as well as try to get through the drywall in 5 places...its crazy! Trump knows how to get under peoples skin... I'm sure he'd hate having Canada as the 51st state, but he...
  3. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    So I wasn't going to post this since it was kind of boring - on the 24th at 1 am I got a call from the alarm company saying our fire panel is going haywire and they just wanted me to know. I tried to remote into the cameras just to make sure there wasn't a fire.... Couldn't connect. Tried to...
  4. self employment and banks

    I write off a ton for my home business. Got my first printer... 6? Years ago. I get to write off 1/3 of my house... Bills, etc, it's nice. I think for the first 3 years I was always at a negative since I kept buying more and more equipment. Now I have about 80k worth of equipment in my...
  5. self employment and banks

    Did you properly declare your taxes? I'm in Canada so it's a bit different... But even if you're self employed, they use your past xx years of income and average it out. I'm surprised your bank doesn't see you make xx every year for the past 5 years and isn't willing to use that figure. It's...
  6. Reflective Sign/Billboard how to

    Why would white fade? It's naturally white... Generally white would yellow when it's in the sun / going bad. We've removed a lot of cop cars that have been out for 10+ years, and the white turns to yellow. I don't think this would fade with the right print / material / overlam... 3M...
  7. Need Help Banner weights

    We just use wood dowwels. Super cheap, easy to cut.... Light weight, etc.
  8. HP Latex - need help taking a decision / your advice & experience would be highlly appreaciated

    Don't most photo shops use like HP designjets ? Or other aqueous inks. Wide format, including solvent won't get near as good at photo prints as a aqueous printer would. They're smaller as well, so should be better suited for you.
  9. Need Help Perf cut on graphtech fc9000/fc8600

    Yes, you can have it so it uses a different condition with less pressure, it'll cut the tab and then perf the rest out
  10. Need Help Perf cut on graphtech fc9000/fc8600

    Yes. Use the tool settings for perf cut, but turn the perf cut line off so it acts like it's kiss cutting
  11. laminator question

    I did a lot of research and Dmais was the best Chinese brand out there... Only one I could find where a few different shops ordered them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hUdg6obZivwsSEAE8 Heres a video of 100 FT of magnet being laminated with 3M 3430 Reflective - The magnet is about 100 lbs and...
  12. laminator question

    I believe rs doesn't sell in USA anymore... But does in Canada. Their us distributor sold his company or died, forget which! We have an rs.... It's good. Upgraded from an old Seal 54... The RS runs a full roll perfectly straight, It deviates by maybe 1/8" in either direction...so not enough to...
  13. Rant Summa GoProduce or Onyx Cutserver adding thousands of nodes??

    Im betting 24 would fix it too. I find it dumb that they support something.... But it has a shitload of bugs and makes it non usable, then they come out with the bug fixes in the next version and tell you to pay $1500 to upgrade... Same thing happened to me with my graphtec... Game breaking...
  14. Rant Summa GoProduce or Onyx Cutserver adding thousands of nodes??

    Are you guys using an old version of onyx maybe? I don't use the router function, but all the stuff I send for knife cutting is fine. Not a fix... But might be a work around? Have you tried adding a reduce nodes action in your action set to see if it reduces them? Takes about 5 seconds for...
  15. Coroplast Alternative

    We got it from laird.they went on about how good it was compared to Coro..and it was, it was about 30% more.... Which isn't bad. But now it's near the price of alupanel, so what's the point? I don't blame them though, it was a slow mover. They gave me advance warning as they were buying a...
  16. Coroplast Alternative

    Bubble lx used to be $15 a sheet up here in Canada.... We used up all of our suppliers stock, then all of a sudden they found out in order to get more the price jumped to $40 a sheet.... And we had to buy a skid of 200 at a time now. . Needless to say we never use bubblex anymore! Too bad as it...
  17. Question New Rip Software

    Most trips have different levels of atomization, ICC profiles also dictate the colors you printer uses, not illustrator.. or rather they both work together, for the most part. Just like any other software, every rip is not built the same... Some are more stable, some are faster, some work...
  18. Epoxy Resin OVER Latex

    I used to print decals for a guy who would apply them to his garage floor, then epoxy overtop of them. We always used a high tac vinyl just so it doesn't lift up while the epoxy is curing - I dont know how long it lasts... but he had a few that were years old and it was fine. I imagine it'll...
  19. Onyx Production House 19

    Onyx 19 install file wont be hard to get. your issue is going to be printer profiles for onyx 19.... What printers are you running?
  20. Outsourced some laser engraving - is this quality reasonable?

    Did you get it done at a shop... Or just from someone? Looks worst than the first time I engraved red lamacoids. I'd say your customer probably won't care though... We see more detail than they do. Ask if you can return it for another pass.
