  1. work table top

    For my work tables I build them out of steel and have them on rollers (everything is on rollers even the old shear) For the top I like to use .040, you can cut on it and it doesn't go all that deep until you go over the same place many times. After a while I just take a razor scraper to the...
  2. Customer needs certifications

    Thank you very much fellas. Do Oracal, Avery and Arlon have certification classes as well?
  3. Customer needs certifications

    I have a customer asking us to apply their wraps but they need us to be 3M certified. We're located in WV and don't have any vendors close by. How does one go about getting certified in 3M or any brand for that matter?
  4. Need tips for replace 30'W 3'H sign face and potential 50'

    I usually don't put my 2 cents in but I've built a lot of signs and serviced many more. When I design a sign my main concern is for my service guys and the customer's maintenance costs. Polycarbonate in those sizes are going to be stupid heavy to begin with and would require a hanging bar so...
  5. A couple more recent hand-lettered projects...

    Awesome job. White on red is always a pain to paint.

  8. Question Take up reel problem

    I have a Roland VS-540 that I bought used. Myself and an employee use the printer daily and has worked fine until recently. Problem is every time we change out materials, we are prompted to set the take up reel. Not sure if one of us accidentally reset something. It works fine once it's set but...
  9. Lower End Laminator - 5k and under

    Just bought the FMJ1700 hot & cold off ebay. I looked at the pneumatic one but figured it would be more parts to go bad and thought I would probably have problems with "customer support" if it broke for whatever reason lol. I was very surprised at the quality of the machine. 1/4" steel...
  10. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    Tried the cut dots and had pretty good success! Don't wanna do that every time but it did work. Thanks Marshal!!! Will post with the cable results.
  11. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    Hey guys. I really appreciate all the suggestions and interest! 8519 is a luster. I have tried putting a frosted tape over the marks with no success. Called a company I haven't used before (Solvent Inkjet) cause they had free tech support. He seemed pretty sure it's a tool trailing cable. Got it...
  12. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    I have just bought a new laminator and had it about a month. I have been able to run a few jobs through with the new laminator on the Roland and was successful with the cutting. But the last three jobs have failed. I just found an older print that I had laminated with Frog Juice and the Roland...
  13. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    Thank you for the reply. Yes sir, the marks are right on.
  14. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    Thank you so much for your reply. The lighting in the room is the same. It's tracking correctly. I even loaded the print a little crooked to see if there was any result. I've tried shining a flashlight on the mark as it's looking for it but I don't have LED's mounted on the printer. When it gets...
  15. VS540 Can't find all the crop marks

    I have a Roland VS-540 that has been excellent at cutting after laminating. Been struggling all day with it finding all the crop marks. On all of the prints, it will find the front two crop marks but when it looks for the third it has a brain fart. I've looked on as many threads as I could find...
  16. Aurora LED Flex neon...any stories

    I've only looked into Sloan as an alternative brand but they are a bit more expensive. Both Sloan and G2G seem to be a silicone molded tube with LED's in the center. They have a very even glow and look very similar to neon. Only other thing I've seen online is stuff from China but I have no...
  17. Aurora LED Flex neon...any stories

    I've used the large diameter of the G2G brand and really liked it. That was several years ago and it still looks really good. The mounting clips made it a little difficult to get a consistent curve but it was my first time using it. I'd like to use it on more projects but its kind of a tough...
  18. Need Help font Heip

    Looking for help with the top font.
  19. Trim cap problem

    I've had this problem also. Lord adhesive makes an epoxy (can't remember the parts numbers) that is clear and works awesome. I've always used Weld-on for acrylic but it just fell off the poly.
