  1. CALENDARED VINYL with MATTE OVERLAM for print & cut vehicle decals

    Check with your vinyl vendors, you probably won't have to buy a full roll, many sell select stuff by the foot/ yard...
  2. Horizontal lamination marks with Sigmont 55H Royal Sovereign

    First figure out for sure if it's the lam or the vinyl. Make note of the batch/ lot number of the rolls that do it, if they're from the same batch, that could be your culprit. Had a problem with some adhesive issues on some Arlon lam we use for just one customer, every roll from the same lot had...
  3. Looking for a cheap laminator just to mount film on rigid board

    We've been looking at those electric ones off and on just for laying vinyl to sheet stock, don't like using our good laminator for that either. Found some 63 inch ones for around a grand-ish, think it's time to pull the trigger. We do quite a bit of flex face too, should be able to use it for...
  4. Zero Emission, Clean Energy (sort of)

    When it goes like that, who needs more?
  5. Zero Emission, Clean Energy (sort of)

    Now that's an EV I could get on board with... Except for the cost :oops:
  6. Importing Vinyl From China

    It was both horrifying, and relevant to Gino's comment. The club owners installed acoustic foam around the stage, they went with the cheapest stuff they could find, which turned out to not be fire rated. Cost 100 people their lives :(
  7. Importing Vinyl From China

    Oh my god... Using it to cover a floor in a venue could turn into a massacre like that Great White concert in '03 :oops:
  8. Importing Vinyl From China

    The thing I've learned about their products is while what you get may look the same as everyone else's, but it isn't. When it comes to media, the vinyl and adhesive chemical compositions aren't the same, so results will vary on how well they perform, or in many cases not perform as expected...
  9. Wind slits

    Mild winters??? Wish we had those here in Wisconsin...
  10. Wind slits

    Exactly... Poles will usually fail before a banner does. With mesh, as long as what they're mounted to is structurally sound, you shouldn't have any issues unless conditions are so bad that people shouldn't be outside anyway. We have an annual music festival on an island in the river, and they...
  11. ROLAND USERS does anyone use these?

    Licensing, a word that tries to push the grey area of consumer/ end user protection for revenue... How long do you think it'll be before the FTC looks at how these fit into the warranty act? :oops:
  12. A-Frame alternative for windy, snowy open area

    You ain't missing anything. Freezing yer' butt off to catch fish. No thanks, I'll go to a restaurant and order their catch of the day. Around here they have track vehicles, they use em' to groom snowmobile trails, and have plows on them, a lot of ice fishers have 4x4's with plows to keep lanes...
  13. ROLAND USERS does anyone use these?

    Technically some of the provisions in these warranties violate terms of the Magnusun Moss Warranty act. Harley Davidson and Westinghouse are the latest ones to be hit by the FTC for restricting consumers repair options, and forcing them to use their own "higher cost" parts and consumables during...
  14. Friday chit chat about being nice...

    Owner of the company I'm at is the same way, and would probably do the same. He sees the potential in people and always tries to bring it out. My wife says it best when she talks about my boss, she says the only one on the same level as him is Santa Clause. It creates an incredible work...
  15. ROLAND USERS does anyone use these?

    All the bulk system's I've used, the assembly that replaces the cartridge has the provision for the chip, it just doesn't come with it because different inksets have different chips. I just used the chips out of the ink cartridges I was using, never had to change the chip in any after I went to...
  16. ROLAND USERS does anyone use these?

    Back when the SC540's first came out, I popped some of the Roland cartridges open (curiosity) and the bags inside all had Epson decals on them under the Roland ones. Inks are formulated to have the right viscosity for different heads and models, but there's only a few actual manufacturers of...
  17. Need Help Adding LEDs to laser cut acrylic letters

    They're business to business suppliers. Get yer' boss to have his business set up an account with one of them. Pick one that sells other products the company will use, and use them as a vendor for other things too. I have accounts of my own with a few places under the tax ID for my sideline...

  19. Need Help Print & cut name tags

    I learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Adhesives matter, depending on what they'll be stuck to. We did some name tags for a company function years ago at a place I worked for. I just used some adhesive paper we used for temporary store displays. What could possibly go wrong? Any that were...
  20. Need Help Adding LEDs to laser cut acrylic letters

    Don't know if any of the merchant members sell them, but you can get light modules on Amazon (just type "led modules for signs" in the search). Can't attest to their quality or durability compared to what we use, but for a one-off project they'll probably be better, and more weather resistant...
