  1. VS-640 not finishing cuts on letters and missing side when "Cut Image Boundaries" set

    Hi all, currently having some issues with our VS-640. Doing some truck lettering and some of the letters aren't fully cut, mostly things like a G or R, letters that are a little more "complex" than say an L or an O. Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when I check off "Cut Image...
  2. Zoo Printing opinions?

    Anyone have experience with them? Any pros or cons to using them? Now, I'm kind've thrown for a loop here, so sorry if some of this sounds a bit random. There's going to be a Zoo Printing facility opening up not too far from here, same town we're in actually. Here's my predicament: we're getting...
  3. 600 denier nylon?

    So today I got a request from a customer for banners printed on 600 denier nylon. Did some googling and the only thing that really came up was some kinda polyester flag material, Poly Oxford. Never used a flag material before, so I'm kinda lost. Can anyone recommend a good brand of material for...
  4. Fork in the road... literally.

  5. So Roland wants to interview me...

    ...about the company I work at for the Roland Professionals section of their website. Anyone done one of these before? What should I expect? Do they ask a bunch of questions, or do I have to just come up with a good summary of the company, or both, or what? Also, there are different sub-sections...
  6. Interactive beard-growing billboard

    http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/04/10/billboard-beard-bronx-shoes Just ran across this... it slowly "grows a beard" on the face that's on the billboard each time someone "likes" their facebook page. Pretty odd, but the concept might actually be kind of a cool idea for a lawn care company if...
  7. Neat font pairing game

    http://www.typeconnection.com Basically asks you to pair up some fonts and then tells you why your choice did or didn't match up from a design standpoint. Figured at least a few of you would dig it.

  9. Video games?

    What with all the movie and tv show threads, figured I'd make a topic and see what every one else plays. I've got a 360, playing through Saint's Row 3 at the moment. Other curren-gen favorites I still play from time to time include Just Cause 2, GTA4, Skate 3, Splosion Man / Ms. Splosion Man...

  11. Interesting article on video game manufacturing

    http://www.1up.com/features/how-retail-games-are-made Found this just poking around on the web earlier, thought I'd share it. Dunno how many of you around here are gamers but I always love behind the scenes stuff like this. The printing & packaging aspect of it is pretty neat too.

  16. Weird problem with our laminator, rollers heating up on cold mode?

    We've got a Royal Sovereign RSH-1651 hot/cold laminator. I was using it a few minutes ago to mount some stuff, and I had it set to cold mode. After mounting a few prints, I noticed that I felt some heat coming from the machine, and the rollers were hot. When I hit the temp check button, the...
  17. Printing a banner, media keeps trailing off to the left causing a crooked print.

    I'm trying to print a 3'x30' banner, and after the first 5 - 10 feet, the media starts to trail off towards the left. It's bad enough that if I were to let it go past 10 feet, the right edge of the media wouldn't even be under the pinch roller on the right and the actual print would be going...
  18. ?s about making a 3'x30' double sided banner

    Got a 3'x30' double sided banner to do and I have a few questions... -I read in another thread that larger banners such as this should have sewn hems instead of taped. What type of thread needs to be used? Obviously we're not gonna use the same stuff you would sew a button back onto a shirt...
