  1. Circle sticker issues

    Are you printing, laminating, and then cutting? I sometimes find that this is enough to distort the vinyl slightly, same as weather conditions. Where I am the weather can change 40 degrees in 24 hours and vinyl doesn't like that at all!
  2. Need Help Best solution for printing art for screens?

    I don't know if you solved this yet or not. We just bought an Epson SureColor T3170X 24" Desktop Printer with Cadlnk softwear and film. We're very happy with it. It uses all black ink so the film is nice and dense.
  3. Does anyone out there do silkscreen wall text?

    We were actually asked to do this by a new art gallery in our city. We'd never done it before so we passed on it. If we had had more time we would have figured it out but opening day was close and we didn't want to be responsible for having to repaint a wall!
  4. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    I got pricing from both for IJ35. ND Graphics was $100.00 higher. For a while, ND seemed to grasp that they had competition but not any more!
  5. Question Upgrade for Epson S80600

    I don't begrudge the travel time or money. I do begrudge two weeks to get the printer fixed!
  6. Question Upgrade for Epson S80600

    Two weeks ago I would have said that the Epson S80600 was a great machine. However, our not even two year old machine stopped working on July 9th and the service tech hasn't even made it here yet. He had to get a main board in from the US (none in Canada) . I know that it got to a tech yesterday...
  7. Question Looking for information on screen printing Heat transfer inks

    We printed them long ago. You need the transfer paper , plastisol inks and a regular conveyor dryer for curing. You may also want a spot curing unit . Perhaps technology has changed since then though!
  8. Floor digital vinyl no lamination

    We used Drytac Spot On Floor Graphic for an event last year and it worked fine . I wouldn't use it for any social distancing decals, but promotional stuff is fun.
  9. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    Try cleaning the lights. We had problems with curing and once they were cleaned these problems vanished (at least until they need cleaning again).
  10. Epson s80600 Offline

    Did you go into your menu and switch the ink to white? You can't just load ink and go.
  11. EstiMate and Windows 10

    I've been using it with Windows 10 for a while with no issues.
  12. Roland LEF-200i Tips and Tricks?

    You have to start the print three times as far as I know.
  13. Question for screen printers

    I use Flexi sign and while i do some of it manually, I also use the colour trapping feature in the program with decent results - at least on fairly simple things!
  14. Laminate for UV Prints?

    Do you have heat assist on your laminator? That would help.
  15. Employees Are The Worst

    It is a way for employees to see the costs associated with doing a poor job on something. And of course it's factored in to the operating costs. It acts like a bonus. My husband's old boss had a similar system where he paid a certain amount into a fund each month. Mistakes were taken out of it...
  16. Employees Are The Worst

    Here is what we did a few years ago in our screen printing shop to try to to prevent preventable errors. We offer a $1.00/hour bonus paid out quarterly. If they screw a job up, the cost of materials or time to fix it comes out of that bonus. If they are careful, they get all of it. If they...
  17. Who does Silk Screening here?

    We do- but no textiles.
  18. customer provided art with possible copyright issues

    Internet "Designs" When I get something like a tiny jpg with text I tell them that it is too small to use and tell them I need the original. Chances are they won't have it, although I have been surprised once in a while by a legitimate file.
  19. Flexisign keeps shutting down

    Windows 10 I had this happen with my Flexi 10.5. I did have a Windows update recently and it started shutting down all the time. Only Flexi 12 works with Windows 10 apparently- but I was doing fine until the last upgrade. I had to update to Flexi 12 to stop this from happening.
  20. Printing on cork?

    We have screen printed onto cork for menu covers. We haven't tried it in our LEF-20 yet but I really see no reason why it wouldn't work.
