  1. Wall Calendars

    Look at films used for roll up banner stands. Used to use this stuff a LOT, for everything from pictures & posters to calendars (and of course roll-ups). Lays flat, prints beautiful, grey backed for block-out, you can use just two sided tape or a hole punch for budget, or grommets for hanging...
  2. Solventinkjet.com review - Bad print head.

    If you open a can of Pepsi and there's a finger floating in it, do you put fault on Pepsi, or blame the store you bought it from who can't see inside the sealed container? So what did the vendor do besides tell you what what the average lifespan is? Was it something they should have been aware...
  3. Question Do you hem your banners?

    Yup. The machine was set up at the same working height as all the tables. Tables were all 10 & 12' long, everything was on wheels so I could configure everything for whatever I was working on daily. All center seams on the big ones were blind, stitched from the back side edge so I didn't usually...
  4. Question Do you hem your banners?

    We also did huge fabric backdrop banners for trade show exhibits. Would sew together panels, hem the edges with sewn in velcro so they could all be attached together at events. Bigger ones we did, when fully assembled, were 12-16'h x 60' long. Had a Mitsubishi industrial double needle machine...
  5. Question Do you hem your banners?

    Depends on use. Ones that'll only be up for a very short time, like single day event banners we do for a local radio station, no. Others, yes. Place I retired from, we hemmed every banner, but there we sewed the hems, had a double needle machine. Sewing is really fast, and cheap. I miss having...
  6. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    In case y'all haven't figured it out, I've always had a secret desire to have a burger joint. For tonight's dining pleasure is a double (two 1/4 pound patties) smash burger on toasted brioche. It's adorned with cheese, mayo & ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, and deep fried onion strings. It's a...
  7. color swatch

    Like a range of colors from your samples? There's a bunch of different ways. I use it occasionally to make small batches, like for color matching of range to pick from to color things. I make a bunch of square shapes, line them up horizontally, put the first color I want to use in the left one...
  8. adhesive paper not vinyl

    Aren't many options for adhesive paper rolls for digital use, most of what's out there is the massive rolls label manufacturers use, and most of those get the adhesive by machine as they're being applied. I used the Roland stuff a couple times, customer didn't want gloss, so I just switched to...
  9. adhesive paper not vinyl

    Used to use Roland medias for oddball stuff like that, looks like they still have adhesive paper... https://dgastore.rolanddga.com/solvent-glossy-paper-w-3-adhesive-54in-x-100ft-esm--sgpa--100--54
  10. using ChatGPT for sign design and logos

    People here call me the Vector Junkie, and motorcycles are my specialty. :toasting:
  11. using ChatGPT for sign design and logos

    Thank you... I'm not just another pretty face. Seriously, my wife will back me up on that:roflmao:
  12. using ChatGPT for sign design and logos

    It's not generated... And its 100% vector. I'd rather draw than just tell a bot what I want... This is all vector, all easily editable, modifiable, printable, scalable, can modify colors in seconds, and done in an afternoon. I do this stuff just for fun and practice. All I used for this is a...
  13. Acrylic Varnish on Aqueous Canvas Prints?

    Used to use Frog Juice over canvas wraps. Lots of people don't like it for some reason, but I never had any issues, and it works over aqueous bases. Place I retired from still has tons of canvas art on the walls I did 10-15 years ago, and they still look good.
  14. Randomly cutting my designs twice using Rasterlink tool for Illustrator

    If you use the Mimaki FineCut plugin, it has a preview feature where it does a cut simulation, you'll see when/ where it does double cuts. Helpful. If you use EPS files you eliminate the random PDF anomalies and masks that sometimes are viewed as shapes, make sure lines are lines and not...
  15. Pinch roller marks

    Are you running pinch rollers all at high pressure? You can adjust them in the setup. Mine are usually on high, but when I have issues I'll change them. Mimaki's give lots of options to play with. Heater temps and humidity can contribute too. We've been way below zero for several days now...
  16. crazy window perf illusion

    I actually like how it just blurs everything... Now I'm thinkin' of all kinds of cool effects that could be done.
  17. crazy window perf illusion

    Groovy....
  18. Positioning roll of material - Marks

    Why complicate things. I can't tell you the last time these have been moved at all, except the last one down one more spot on the rare occasion I run 60" material. Set em' up right and all you have to do is just activate 6 rollers for 48" or 5 rollers for 36" instead of 7 when you do the...
  19. Mimaki CJV150 Head Issue

    Haven't messed with the nozzle replacement on ours yet, but seem to recall something about it not showing in test prints, or maybe there's a setting to show it. I'd try to fix it rather than compensate. Inspect closely for damage, head strikes deflect like that. If there's no damage check for...
  20. Recognize this? Anyone have a clue?

    Y'all can disregard... I found it :toasting:
