  1. Stomp Shear.

    Tired of the inconsistent cuts from my Fletcher and replacing the bushings has done little to help. My question is, can a shear cut 6mm ACM and also coro without crushing the edge. I'd like to not use the Fletcher at all and free up the floor space. Thank you.
  2. Omegabond go on a diet?

    My 3mil standard sheet of Omega feels and looks thinner. There's a noticeable side by side difference with some of my older off cuts.
  3. Showdown Displays Shipping

    Just a heads up if you order form them to use your shipping account and request the shipping fee. I got whacked $60 for ground shipping a 5"x5"x60" box that had a feather flag. I punched in the numbers as if I was shipping it back using UPS (they use Fedex) and the shipping was $21. Took quite a...
  4. Waste Ink

    I wasn't able to find a thread that had been started. Just wondering what you all do with waste ink? Are there any companies that handle it or do you just turn it in at recycling events? Thank you.
  5. Clean Cut, HQMaster or Graphtec Blade for a FC9000

    Any preferences? I tried the HQMaster, they're stupid cheap and I found out why. Jammed up tight in the blade holder...avoid. I like the Clean Cut for my VG2-540, but am hesitant now to try anything other than original blades in the Graphtec. How do the Clean Cut fair?
  6. Removing media clamps on a VG2-540?

    I've looked through post and searched every combo I know and still nothing pops up on the proper way to get the clamps out. I need to replace the cutter strip and would like to get them out of the way. Any guidance would be appreciated.
  7. Omega-Bond or Bebond?

    I've been using Omega for years with no problems. Was just looking around on Glantz and came across the Bebond. States 3 year outdoor to Omegas 5 year. Has anyone had any long term success with the Bebond for outdoor use? Printed and applied graphics.
  8. Heavy Duty Roll Rack

    Does anyone have a source for a rack similar to the ones made for 30 inch rolls, but will handle 54 inch? Thinking of just welding one up, but why reinvent the wheel if there's already something out there.
  9. 6mm Raw Edge Finishing

    Finish the edge or leave it alone? Double sided using 3M IJ-35C Raw Edge by Farmboy posted Jul 15, 2020 at 12:30 PM
  10. Latest Versaworks 6 Update

    Wondering if I'm the only one having issues with the latest VersaWorks update. It's apparently causing issues with the dampers (just on VG2 machines) and they have to be changed out. Now I remember why I turned off updates on my previous versions.
  11. VG2-540 Orange Corel Palette?

    So far very happy with this printer. For anyone that's using this with Corel, have you had any luck finding the Orange files to add to Corel's color palette? Illustrator seems to be the only one up to date in versaworks.
  12. Best for cutting Coro and Omega?

    I know this has been beat to death, but I'm just not to happy with my FSC cutter anymore. Way to much play to cut a straight line. If I had time I'd tear it apart and do and Adam Savage on it. I've raised prices and feel that I should be giving the best product I can, even if it's just a simple...
  13. Cleaning during print cycle

    Any help with this would be great. My VS-640 has started to run a cleaning cycle during the print, several times. On prints over 2' it does it several times and ends up causing banding in the print. I've done a manual cleaning and run a few cleaning cycles, but it still continues.
  14. Inks playing hide and seek.

    This has been popping up every other day now. It's either the magenta or cyan. I'll print some jobs, sheet cut, start the same job and a color has dropped out. A few med cleanings brings it back 100%. Eco-Sol Max Carts are full. This is a VS-640. Only other issue is it can't print a deep red at...
  15. Can this head be cleared?

    Test Print by Farmboy posted Jan 9, 2020 at 12:46 PM I've soaked this head and run a few med cleaning cycles on it. Can I clear up all this deflection or is it toast?
  16. Suggestions Time to update, Latex or Solvent?

    Mostly thoughts from those who have gone from one to the other. Thank you!
  17. When to give price breaks?

    It's been a while since I've posted. I needs some input from the group. I use pricing software for all sign and decal orders. I have a customer who orders once every few months, they get decals that we have on file and the amounts vary. Some times they get half what they got on a previous order...
  18. New Computer Suggestions...

    Looking to replace at least 4 stations here. 2 would be running Versa Works and all Corel X7. Looking for off the shelf options as I don't really want to spend the coin on custom at this point. Thanks
  19. Bulk Supplies

    What if any supplies do you purchase in bulk to get a better price? I'm thinking of getting a skid of coro and considering a dozen rolls of vin and lam. Just not finding much savings in either to justify the all at once cost.
  20. Graduation Banners

    I just received this email, Hello I recently saw a banner that you produced on Facebook. It has two photographs that were taken by my studio. You may or may not be aware that unless you have permission from the photographer, you can’t copy, distribute (no scanning and sending them to...
