Truck was repainted, only thing left with the font that was used to letter it is on the brush guard. Look familiar to anyone?

The only way I'd even think about that is if you get the printer for free, and if the cutting functionality is in good working order. The 300i, if memory serves me right, uses DX4 heads, you'd need one for each channel at $500-600 each. It doesn't end there, you'll also need dampers, head caps...

Have an Illustrator license, use it occasionally, but for most of my design work I use Affinity (suite V2.xx). Affinity is just so streamlined, not as bloated or buggy as Adobe, it's super efficient for production work. For renderings, engineer & electrical drawings I use ActCad, occasionally...

This is why I hate doing magnetic signage. People slap them on their vehicles, never move or remove them (regardless of you repeating over and over that they need to), and this is what you get Then they usually blame the company that sold it to them. That might buff out if you're lucky...

Look into Nekoosa's VinylEfx. Compatible with pretty much everything except water base inks. https://nekoosa.com/

Central WI has always been a low crime, mostly rural small town life kinda place. In my lifetime I've watched crime increase to the point where the few decent size cities are just crazy crime ridden s*#t holes. Mostly because of drugs, of course. Still not as bad as a lot of places.

We use Mimaki equipment here... If you're looking for one versatile enough for both kiss cutting and die cutting, go for the FX series. The SR & AR series are pretty low grade, mostly plastic. One we have is an SR-III, it's a cheap utility machine, kiss cuts good, but it's not very robust. Good...

If it's the scenario I described with air in the bags in the cartridge, you would physically see air bubbles in the ink lines. If it does have air in the lines you can get it out without suctioning, just pull the line, hang it over a container, and open the valves for both of that color by...

Nothing like you're doing with articulation & animation. I'm too old and cranky to have that kind of patience. Mine is mostly construction, engineer, and electrical drawings, assembly sheets, etc.... Plus the graphic design. Most demanding will be 3d renderings for some customers, but that's...

IF we order one of these, it'll be configured with the Ultra 9 285K processor, 128gb (or 192gb) of ram, depending on whether they'll work a little better on pricing. It'll have a 1tb ssd program drive, a 2tb ssd scratch drive. I have a 6tb hdd for customer files that gets backed up daily...

Affinity Designer even has a real quick & easy one built in. Options with associated extra fields include text, url, phone number, sms message, email whatsapp, facetime, location, wifi credentials, vcard.... Use it for url's all the time, have tried out some of the others, have done signage &...

It's for graphic design, cad & renderings, nothing super major, but... Currently on an iMac that the last guy had to have, upgraded it as far as it can be, and hate it. Not going down the Mac rabbit hole again! Ever! Compared to what I'm making work now, it is. It's plenty, and has future...

They're more noted for their gaming rigs, but their workstations are spec'd like a boss, plenty of cooling, lots of expansion capabilities, a 1,600w power supply to power it all and then some. 2.5 and 10g ethernet, able to bump up ram, add more drives, some good GPU options when ordering. Want...

That's insane! Cool, creative, definitely attention grabbing. Would love to know how it was all done, what substrates they used. Curious as to what the price tag was for just the facade. Or maybe I don't want to know...

The last clip with the guy doing it at night, and all those lights blinking by... Almost disorienting just watching it. o_O

This popped up as a recommended video. Before all our times, but shows the ingenuity of massive lighted 1930's signs, and how they were maintained. Next time ya' think programming or servicing a message center or sign is difficult, think of this...

Last Roland I had I switched to Solaris inks, first cartridges, then bulk tanks. When I made the initial switch I just popped full cartridges in as the Roland ones emptied, never flushed lines or anything, had zero issues pushing the old ink out of the lines. Totally uneventful. Your experience...

Try like Cornholio says, sheet of MDF. A flatbed printer doesn't have real powerful vacuum like a CNC, so you'll want a thin sheet. If yours has enough vacuum to pull through it you should be good. You may have to cover any area around the fabric with tape/ paper/ premask/ etc if the sheet of...

Orafol 290 used to be pretty reasonably priced in narrower rolls, comes in 36". I haven't used that in a long time, so it could be just as ridiculously expensive as everything else now.

For small text & thin lines I wouldn't use a removable adhesive (RA) vinyl, or an air release wrap vinyl. I'd use permanent adhesive sign vinyl. The adhesive is more aggressive, it's thin, so less chance of everything snagging it, no lam needed. No long points on graphics, round them all off...
