One of these days I'm gonna hook that big ol' neon transformer up to that POS iMac, see if it'll glow :cool:

I have your hot sauce assistant Stacey... That's actually a good way to get people to remember your business, and kinda fun. One of the places I order car parts from for my toy at home always comes with a handful of little bags of Skittles.

Some are like dealing with committees, they let too many get involved, all have their own vision, none can agree on anything, and everything stalls.

There really is no set number of hours for for solvent to evaporate, the 24 hour thing just covers pretty much all scenarios. It's all dependent on ink, coverage, temp settings on the printer, print speed, shop temp, humidity. Just like paints, conditions dictate cure times. Over the decades I...

If you had to shim the rollers you put in, they're not right. That could eventually wear other parts, not clamp properly, cause twisting in the roller or holder which will cause media to not track straight... (If one roller is crooked, it's like driving a car with one wheel not pointing...

That takes all the fun out...

You can make grilled cheese sammiches on the hood of your car for lunch ;)

Yup... Reflective vinyls come in colors, and that's what police vehicles use (around here anyway), black for black vehicles, white for white, etc, just cut & lay.... Reflectives aren't true solid colors like paint or print, so there's usually enough contrast for daytime visibility without any...

If it's painted on it's probably MultiSpec... A sprayable architectural coating. Used to use a ton of it making displays, Sherwin Williams was a distributor back when I used to use it. I think Hallman Lindsay also carries another brand similar to it. It's pretty cool stuff, you pretty much...

Define normal... ;)

Place I retired from usually had an average of 40-50 people working there (as many as 200 at times). We designed and manufactured POP/ POS displays, and major trade show exhibits for national/ international accounts. All the Mastercraft, Jeldwen, Weathershield, Peachtree, Pella, hell most of the...

Another alternative is Evercoat's Feather Fill or Super Build 4:1 Polyester high build primers. Plus you can get it locally from parts stores that carry the brand for the auto body industry, I know Oreilly's is one of them.

I think whoever took this company over is in over their heads if they're actively doing this. We do national accounts (some on their sell sheet), local stuff is secondary work, it comes to us, we don't go seeking it. Bet the reason her husband got her father's business instead of her is because...

Think about it. You'll no longer be making tweets, you'll be making X-posts, and uploading X-videos... Someone didn't think this through :roflmao:

I find it hilarious...

What kind of cutter? What software?

Absolutely for the rubber roller, but for the metal grit rollers (which I assume he's talking about by referring to the "lower" roller) brushes won't cause any damage.

Holographic comes in two breeds, PVC and polyester. PVC and PVC coated can be printed on solvent/ ecosol machines, for UV printers you can use either, not sure which you would need for latex. Schein has a large selection of holographic media, I think Sign Warehouse carries the brand. I rarely...

I don't run a graphtec, but they're all the same. A 60 degree blade is more for std vinyls. Sometimes they'll work in a pinch for heavy stuff, but it's not really meant for it. The 45 degree blades are for slightly heavier material, and the 30 degree blades are for thicker stuff like reflective...

That you'll have to experiment with, there's no "one pressure works on every machine". Do test cuts, increase pressure till it weeds easy, clean, and you can just see a line where the blade hits the backer. With thick media or lam, slow it down too, cutting too fast will just cause jamming...
