  1. For the dog lovers...What I did this week.

    Back in October my wife and I adopted a 1 year old female pitbull, Willow, who was being fostered locally. She had major confidence issues because she was tied to a fence post and abandoned, and it was a long slow process to get her back to "normal". There were days that Catherine and I just...
  2. GX-24 Print cut alignment?

    Here's the deal....printing on a Versacamm using Versaworks. I have the GX-24 installed in Versaworks so we can use that as a backup cutter. If I print with registration marks and then cut in the Versacamm the cut is right on the money. But if I cut it with the GX-24 it's off almost 1/8" side...
  3. Helmet Wrap

    Our first helmet wrap. The airduct made it possible to do the entire wrap in one piece with a strip down the back to cover the seam. It took waaaaayyyy too much time but I got faster each attempt. Actually wrapped this one helmet 4 times....first attempt was all white just to see if I could...

  6. Magnum Magnetics

    I just received my first set of magnetic sign blanks....Magnum Magnetic "sign in a tube" 12" x 18". There are bubbles in the white vinyl surface, particularly in one area of one blank (see picture). I can't believe this is typical but there are bubbles on both blanks. Is the quality of these...
  7. No Phonebook listing

    There have been so many changes in phone technology in just the past few years it's getting to be an unusual thing to have a "real" telephone line. With the advent of unlimited cell phone plans, Voip (Vonage,Magic Jack) , and even google voice, there are a lot of options available, usually at a...
  8. Our First Wrap

    We did our first wrap this past weekend. It was a tight timeframe and the customer needed to leave for California before we finished it completely so we still need to wrap the area around the back doors and fix the phone number that runs into the fender:covereyes: when it comes back. Thanks to...
  9. Post heating Technique

    I'm about to install my first wrap this weekend and I've been searching for info on post heating the wrap without any luck. I understand the concept and purpose....just looking for the "how" part. I have an IR thermometer, heat gun, and torch, so I'm armed and dangerous.:omg: Any tips on a...
  10. Arlon 6000 profile?

    Anyone printing with a versacamm on Arlon DPF 6000XRP ? Just received the roll, we're on a tight timetable for this project, and the print looks like crap. I'm using the premium wrap vinyl profile in versaworks. The same file printed on gloss photo paper looks great so it's not the file...
  11. Tools to remove "security Fasteners"

    I'm looking to remove the door of of the trailer we are wrapping and the hinges are attached with security fasteners that look like a torx but they have a post sticking up in the center so you would need the correct size torx bit with a hole in the center of it to clear the post. Any idea where...
  12. Trailer wrap questions

    We're looking at doing a full wrap on a cargo trailer. I'm not sure what brand but picture your typical Carmate or Haulmark trailer with screwed on, overlapping aluminum siding. Question #1....is it standard procedure to cut the vinyl at the point where one aluminum panel overlaps the...
  13. Combining 220 and 440 ink cartridges?

    I just looked at my ink levels and I'm getting low on cyan and magenta. We currently have 440ml carts for all colors installed. Is it okay to get 220ml replacements for the 2 colors I'm low on and use them alongside the 440 carts for the yellow and black? Thanks!
  14. Versacamm-profiled cut speed and pressure

    Okay...This question is based on an assumption I have so let me get that out of the way first. The printer is an SP-300V and rip is Versaworks. In Versaworks when you select a media type and then go to "cut controls" you can see the cut passes, speed, pressure, and offset information but it is...
  15. Need help with sound issue

    I'm hoping one of you computer guys (or girls) can help me out with this. My son in college has a Systemax computer we got from Tiger Direct. It has developed a problem with the audio, some crackling or buzzing and then totally cutting out. Over the phone tech support determined that the...
  16. Missing outline information

    I know this is rediculously simple but I've been banging my head on the desk for an hour and can't figure out how to fix it. Up until yesterday both the fill color and the outline color of a selected object appeared in the lower right corner of the display (X3). I believe they were stacked...
  17. Opinions wanted!

    Hello Everyone, I've been absorbing info from this site for the past few weeks and have learned enough (hopefully) to ask a few questions. First a bit about my situation. I'm not intersted in going into the sign business but rather using sign making equipment (vinyl cutters and print & cut...
