  1. Job management

    Software Good print shop software is: Shopvox is pretty good - Might be a little overkill, and a bit of a learning curve. Cyrious or Corebridge - Even more hardcore, but lots of functionality Good Project Management software (not necessarily good estimating though) - TeamWork Project...
  2. Avery MPI1005 EZ RS +DOL1360 vs 3M 180CV3 + 8518

    I just had to return a roll because of the coating also. (1/3 rolls ~ not good) The only issue I ever had with 3M was a bad roll of laminate that ended up shrinking like 3/4" after a month or so (check my earlier posts for pictures). (1 out of 1500 rolls)
  3. Avery MPI1005 EZ RS +DOL1360 vs 3M 180CV3 + 8518

    I prefer 3M, but that was when price wasn't an issue. Now I print on Avery and I'm less than thrilled. It seems like it discolors faster when heating it up and isn't as easy or durable as 3M. Price is much better though, so that pretty much dictates it anyway. Printing on a HP L26500 & L360
  4. Ideas on how to accomplish

    Low tac vinyl is prob. your best bet. Velcro will look a little weird, and magnetic material is overkill for something that isn't going to change that often.
  5. Apple Following Windows?

    Refurb Mac Regardless, refurbed macs are the best value you can get when buying a mac. I fully endorse Apple refurbs. You can downgrade back to 'El Captain' regardless.
  6. Can anyone sell me a small piece of Mirrored Gold Max Metal

    I'm just looking for a piece of Mirrored Gold Max Metal (not brushed). I just need 1x - 6.25" x 8.5" piece and I would prefer not to purchase a full sheet. We can cut final size, if someone can sell me a piece close to what we need. Thanks Team!
  7. HP Latex 110 for startup?

    Fair enough my friend. Fair enough. :-)
  8. HP Latex 110 for startup?

    I think what this fine person meant to say was: "Excuse me kind sir, I believe your money would be better invested in a HP 360 as it will cost less in operating expenses and allow you to grow your business without having to buy more equipment". What came out of his mouth (keyboards) was...
  9. Need vendor to flatbed print and diecut .060 Styrene

    Anyone know where I can get .040 or .060 polystyrene flatbed printed and scored/diecut? My client is basically trying to make Burger King type crowns on styrene. Thanks, Go Team
  10. Etched vinyl but how

    How is this done. It isn't just etched vinyl. If you look at the leaves you can see that there is different depths to the center of them, and they look layered or something. Any idea on materials or method? Thanks
  11. Applying large Pieces of Vinyl To a Dance Floor

    My friend installed vinyl graphics on the floor for the All Star game in San Antonio a few years back. I'll find out what material / prep and let you guys know.

    I am from Wisconsin, (moved to CA this year) and I can assure you ; Yes, I have dealt with her and a few of her cousins. :-)
  13. Vehicle Templates

    Pro Vehicle Outlines is great. They are very accurate and easy to use. I've used them for about 5 years. I used to have to print all kinds of trucks and cars without ever being able to measure the actual vehicle and was very successful with it. (Obviously, measuring in addition to using the...
  14. Why is Fabric Decal Material Raising up as it goes through sp300v printer

    I found that the best way for printing on fabric is to put it on your take up reel with the tension bar on so that it consistently pulls on the media. Lower Heat and use edge guards are the two other tips I have. Go Team!

    Fixed! Thanks Sean! Move the folder "cmp_cc7" w/ the file "CuttingMaster3_CC7x64.aip" in it to the new "Plugins" folder for Illustrator. (See below and the attached image) "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3\Plug-ins\cmp_cc7" Go Team!
  16. Cutting Master 3 not installing in Illustrator

    I just updated my version of Illustrator CC to (2015.3) and it has gotten rid of Cutting Master 3. I removed it from my computer and re-installed it, but it does not show up in Illustrator. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this back? Thanks
  17. car wrap print layout

    Ok I'm an idiot. As soon as I saw that layout, I started typing a scathing response. What a duesche I am.
  18. car wrap print layout

    This is a crazy way to setup a truck wrap. I used to setup wraps like this when I first started, but this is nuts. It's really easy for the designer & person RIPping the files, but the finished product has tons of seams and you need to line up 12 panels per side when installing. That's just...
  19. HP 360 Latex printing issues

    Your environment seems good. You are correct in thinking that the heat will warp your media, but you should crank the heat until it doesn't flake off. Then work the temp backwards from there. However, a lot of stock profiles for vinyl are maxed out in terms of curing temp. You should...
