  1. Solvent and Eco-Sol Spray On Coating

    I was just thinking, something always to be feared, that there really should be some sort of spray on, brush on, whatever on coating that would render most any media solvent and eco-solvent printable. Perhaps something already exists. Perhaps not. If not, it shouldn't be all that hard to womp...
  2. White Transfer Paper

    Does anyone know of a white transfer paper that actually works on a surface, canvas in this case, coated with acrylic artist's paints? I've tried a number of different brands and none, zero, work on this surface. They barely work on black Crescent board. Painting is sort of my avocation and I'm...
  3. Vinyl that won't curl

    Does anyone know of a vinyl that when printed and contour cut with a full bleed can be depended on not to have the edges curl up where the full bleed was cut? Over the years I've tried a number of different products and had some successes and some failures but I don't know of a vinyl that I can...
  4. Shifting from win10 PRO to win 10 home, Flexi 8.6 dongle not working

    Had to get a new PC the other day. Moved most everything over using Laplink. I had been running Flexi 8.5 or maybe 6 [it's out in the shop and I'm in the house] and it had moved over properly from the old windows 10 PRO to my fine new windows 10 home machine. I moved the dongle to the new...
  5. Font Id?

    I should know this one but, apparently, I don't. Any help is appreciated.
  6. Vinyl on mudflaps?

    Anyone had any experience with putting vinyl on mudflaps? Most likely it would be a print of a logo but I haven't seen either the mudflap or the logo as of yet. It would seem to me to be a rather hostile environment for vinyl. Way back a long time ago I have a dim recollection of hand lettering...
  7. Unforgetable font

    https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/bizarre-looking-font-helps-you-remember-what-you-read-ncna921736 The only thing I remember after reading text in this font is that it was incredibly hard to read.
  8. Pinstriping?

    I ordered a new custom saddle a couple of weeks ago from a good friend and saddle maker. He wanted to know if I wanted any carving on the leather. Not stamping, that's what you get when you buy something off the shelf. I thought some and decided I didn't want any sort for traditional oak leaf or...

  11. Anyone here make house plaques?

    I'm in need of a dimensional bronze-looking house plaque for a wedding present. I need it before September 16, the big day. I can live with a standard shape but I want to design the content. The plaques available on line []have pleasing shapes but the content is limited to a couple of lines of...
  12. Issues with Avery MPI1105

    Upon advice of counsel I bought a roll of Avery MPI1105 Super Cast Easy Apply. I loaded in my printer, Mutoh 1204, and attempted to print an image I've printed many times on Oracal 3751RA. This time the areas of black printed as a badly banded medium charcoal gray. OK says I, I changed the black...
  13. Advice Needed, Never Done THis Before

    I have a cut-out of many pieces cut from 6mm expanded PVC in two colors. This is some unknown being's clip-art creation, certainly not mine. I'm just implementing it. The thing is 60"wide and ~32" high. It's going to be applied to an interior finished drywall with VHB tape. I've stuck...
  14. Problems with Oracal 3751RA

    I've three rolls, all returned, in the last two weeks that appear to be contaminated. The 3rd roll I received last night and attempted to print this morning. All from Fellers, different warehouses, different lot numbers. The ink develops a plethora of small fish-eyes everywhere. I've run off...

  16. Oracal 290 vs. Clear Shield

    I notice that prints laminated with Oracal 290 after five or so years start to turn brown or black where prints coated with Clear Shield look pretty much the same as they did when they were made.Case in point, my own truck. Both the tailgate and the hood have prints on exactly the same media...
  17. Help with typeface identification

    I've seen this somewhere but I have no clue as to what it might be. Seems like an odd choice for this sort of sign.
  18. Temporary cement

    Looking for a source for the removable cement like that used to stick a credit or membership card to a letter. You remove the card and roll up and remove the cement. Anyone know what this stuff is and where to get it?
  19. Need Reusable Stencil Material

    I have a client that, among other things, rents river rafting gear. In the past I've cut stencils with his simplified logo so he could paint them on each raft as required by some law somewhere. I used to get 11x17 Mylar sheets of stencil material from Hobby Lobby, apply app tape for a backing...
