  1. Best high resolution printer

    For best resolution, solvent is king. UV and latex tend to print somewhat grainy, just the nature of higher solids inks, while great for production and speed, they do sacrifice a little on the close up/ high end quality. With a good file, properly set up and calibrated machine, correct profile...
  2. SP-300V solid cuts look like sloppy perf cuts

    Can't ask for much more than that! :toasting:
  3. SP-300V solid cuts look like sloppy perf cuts

    I always have an extra blade holder in stock. Once they start sticking, they're usually not too long for this world, lubing them up is usually a temporary fix in my experience.
  4. Direct Print on Corrugated Metal

    I flatbed printed some multi paneled MDF doors for a company once, where it recesses it gets real blurry, any lower flat areas aren't clean either because the head has to stay at a height to clear the highest points, and just too far away to print clean. Printed reeeaaallll slow the quality was...
  5. optically clear laminate

    Do you use a cardboard tube on your liner take up? For poly-liner lams I use cheap two sided clear application tape, run it down the full length on the liner take-up roll. Keeps it held down all the way across and always runs straight as an arrow, takes less time than rolling up tape. Then...
  6. BEWARE of South Water Signs

    Newest equipment is 2019... Bet they sold a lot off and banked it, and left junk to liquidate.
  7. Latest and Greatest Updates

    October of next year, won't even be offering security updates unless you pay for them. I use both, and Mac absolutely sucks in my opinion.
  8. what in the actual hell!.....

    If you do it, keep the sign till you get paid, if ya' don't get paid, put it back up :cool:
  9. Latest and Greatest Updates

    I tried 11 on a VM, just to see what all the hubbub was. Memory usage on just a base load of the OS was insane, performance was so-so. Can't imagine running graphic software, CAD, and everything else I use daily. I don't like forced updates, unless it's something critical. Unfortunately most...
  10. Anyone on here do this?

    Watched that a few days ago. I almost crapped my drawers when the frame snapped right off... Wouldn't trust it with a trailer.
  11. Subscription Mouse!

    I keep hearing that donkeys do that too...
  12. Subscription Mouse!

    It's not just the subscription that makes them money. Most subscription apps/ software root themselves into your system to collect info, which is also sold. We're the quintessential free money machines for corporations.
  13. LED Board Digital Sign Supplier

    We've installed the systems they use in chain restaurants, the prices are insane, and most you're locked into using their software and controllers, subscription of course. This is an economical way for a small lower profit business like a bar to get into something better than chalk boards or...
  14. LED Board Digital Sign Supplier

    There are display companies that sell complete packages and components, Displays2go, FastSigns, an a ton of others, but they're pretty hefty priced for a small business. Since it's just being used as a display, cheapest is just get a TV with the size that'll work. Some have very thin bezels...
  15. Illuminated Fab Letters - Installation

    Licensed electrician does all our panel to fixture high voltage runs. If there's not already existing power to it, best to just have a pro do it, so you know it's up to code, without risking the liability if you do anything wrong, or if it's not up to code. Most jurisdictions require it to be...
  16. Subscription Mouse!

    Put $2 worth of better materials into making it, so it at least lasts longer than the average mouse, and charge $200 for it instead of $20. Software updates? Like the stuff you already get for free now? Yeah, that seems like something everyone will just jump all over. Seems more like just a...
  17. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    It's all good... Current wife is same age as one of my daughters, and believe it or not my last ex was my mid life crisis :rock-n-roll:
  18. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    Good thing you specified, or I'd probably get spanked by the site admin... Hmmm... They make lube for them, bunch of different brands. Not always needed, but useful if ya gotta work it hard (my god this is sounding worse). I just grabbed an image of the first one that came up in a search. If...
  19. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    After you use the Iso to get as much of the coating as you can off, it'll kind of break down what's left on the surface, then use the clay bar (with lube) and it'll usually take the remainder off. Again, it only works with the low-mid grade ceramics. I always clay bar before applying PPF to...
  20. Hope this title is fitting.......................................................

    Welcome to the wonderful world of ceramic coatings. You can usually tell by how water beads, the shine, and if it feels almost unnaturally smooth & slick. The fact that tape won't stick is a good indicator. How tough it is to remove depends on the quality of the ceramic they used, professionals...
