I need suggestions other than plastic tie wraps to hold a banner on a chain-link fence. It's not a large banner, just 38in x 80in. I've used stainless steel tie wraps before, and even though they are rated for 250lbs, I’ve had issues with them in the past, even on smaller banners. Thanks.

I need help with this. I have some letters to be installed with studs on an exterior brick wall. My installer went there with a hammer drill and wasn’t able to drill through, using 3 drill bits for 3 holes. We ordered some Diablo Rebar Demon drill bits but still couldn’t make a decent hole (used...

I have 500 white cut vinyl (7inX11in) that will be premasked that need to be cut to pieces. Other than cut it by hand, would there be a way I could trim this with my fotoba digitrim? I'm not sure it would read the white vinyl on the blue backing plus the premask over it.

So I have a kala mistral 1650 with heat option. On my training, the rep told me to set every lamination to 113F. It worked great for a while. But now, with a new kind of laminating film (in-house brand from a supplier) my final job curl on the inside after the lamination (print side). The rep of...

I would like some recommendations to cut premasked vinyl. Right now, I just do a weed box around each decals and use this to cut with a ruler and knife. It work well but when you have over 200 units to do, it take a lot of time. Is there any way to do it faster?

I'm looking to change my summa d160r for a new cutter that will mostly be used to make diecut stickers. Since I already have a summa, my instinct was to go with the new s3t with maybe the camera and take-up. The graphtec seems to be a good option too. So what do you recommend and why?

Like the title says, I'm looking for a white PET film with permanent adhesive that is compatible with latex ink (HP 700w). I've been looking for this for quite some time know and the closest one I've found is compatible with UV ink only. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've been in the sign business for almost 20 years now but we don't do vehicles. I would like to try wrapping my motorcycle (indian challenger) this winter to change the color and would like to know what brand/series of material I should choose. My first idea was going with 3M or avery but I...

I have a customer that make epoxy floor asking me to make some prints that will be installed on a floor then poured epoxy over it. I know I've saw this subject somewhere here but cannot find it anymore. Maybe I use the wrong keywords. The prints will have overlap/butt joint to cover almost...

So I have omega 6.0 with a gerber edge II. I'm trying to make a print and I have a communication error message. I run it on windows 11 and using a usb to parallel adaptor. Last time I use the setup (around a year ago) I was running this setup on a windows 8 machine without any problem. I've...

Right now I'm using a manual grommet machine. It's great but after a while it start to be hard on the arm. We do not make alot of banners but sometime we got jobs that require doing grommets a whole day. So what is the next step after a manual machine? I would like to figure if the expense could...

Is there a setting in either the cutter or caldera to set the distance between the cutline and barcode? For some reason, when I have a print and cut, in some case a part of the bar code will go in the cutline section. So when I weed it, I see a small part of the barcode that went in the design...

I was looking at colex for flatbed cutter. I can't afford it for now. Is there other options less expensive and compatible with caldera rip? I want to either buy a less expensive model or wait 2-3 years to buy a colex (or similar).

I have a 48in wide roll to textured frosted vinyl that need to be cut in piece of 48inX24in. I can't slit the roll because the pattern of the material is on the length of the roll. I don't have access to a machine like a fotoba and I think the texture is to roughs and thick to be cut with my...
