  2. Just buy a new laminator?

    well unless you want to spend the time and effort learning to be a laminator repair man. and sounds like having them come out will be a small fortune. getting a new laminator sounds like a good plan. i have used many different makes and models over the years. some was pure hell to try and work...
  3. Advice needed: Wrapping a coffee grinder

    the front has a lot of curves to it, might be best if that is its own piece. and wrap the front last so any seams will not be on the front face. you can wrap the front, sides and back with one piece with a joining seam in the back. then slap something on the top
  4. Printing with low ink on Latex 370

    how low is your ink levels. my 360 uses the 750 carts. when it gets down just below 100 it starts warning me. i usally change them around 20ish cause i never fully trust the counters or what might actually be in the cartage
  5. Is this a 3M problem or am I just a hack installer?

    for that install i would of put down some 3m primer, heat stretch/tuck and then a quick relief cut. i do a lot of contour jobs. it works best if you try to work into an area with as little stretching as possible. vinyl will always fight to return to its natural state. this is why cast works best...
  6. How would you wrap this trailer?

    depends on your design, i would pull out the screws as you go and then put them back in. work from that big support bar at the top down then do the top. if you can not pull the screws you can go over them and with a little heat and time work your vinyl in and around them. screws take a lot of...

  8. HP L26500 Headstrike

    that does look like a vacuum issue, i would make sure your vacuum holes are clear.. paper dust in them could cause an issue. and if you dont use that end of the machine a lot it can collect a lot of stuff

  12. B2Sign vinyl graphic problem

    did you do the install. did the customer or someone else install it. thats the first place i would look is at the actual install. what you ordered should stick to most things. but there are factors involved that will cause install issues. a lot of what i do is on used vehicles. oxidation is my...
  13. Problems with single sided laminating: what am I missing?

    watched that video, its very odd. i have the seal 54 with heat assist and it runs flawlessly i always leave it "loaded" with scrap so i am always ready to run. important key is to always start your web straight when setting up the machine. or it will run like crap i never affix the backer to the...

  18. Wrap removal techniques

    we remove a lot of well aged vinyl, wraps and cut vinyl. What works best for us is heat and elbow grease. there is really no safe magic bullet. some tools do exist that help some of the time. but when it comes down to it, time and effort is whats needed the most.

  20. Cutting software? Omega? Flexi? Corel?

    I have never been a fan of corel. I prefer my Illustrator with cutting master plug in. I use cutting master 2.
