  1. Graphtec fcx2000 not reading holographic

    Dude, it is a simple concept - from the border of an old sticker job, or with new vinyl... get the "L" and "T" marks on a white background sticker.... place the marks directly over the marks on the holo media and make sure there is a bit of white around the marks ( like 1-2" as long as it is...
  2. Graphtec fcx2000 not reading holographic

    Anywhere where the graphtec tries to scan the image (all marks.....) just place any white vinyl with the identical marks - I keep some of the trim from larger sticker orders to use as adhesive marks to put on the holographic media. works great... A bright flashlight (maybe a VERY bright light...
  3. Installation code of conduct agreement?

    If you have an independent contractor who you 1099 and they do not want to follow your companies policies or dress code - simple solution, no more 1099s for that contractor..... just as you are not legally required to accept the contract, they are not legally obligated to issue a contract. "My...
  4. Installation code of conduct agreement?

    While I personally feel a lot of the same sentiment as y'all about not wanting to be told what to and not to do on a site.... I work for a larger school district and it is my understanding that no one can be contracted to work on our properties without following some pretty specific rules...
  5. Weird quirky story

    agreed - impossible, but it helps to understand what exactly inflation is.... similar impossible solution was to the darn Beer Virus - if the entire world population simply isolated for a few days, without exception, then there would have been no pandemic. Human need for personal gain over...
  6. Question Trouble with color

    if you can find an old PMS cmyk book - make your own profiles optimizing for grey, but start with the ones that the book says can be displayed properly with your cmyk gamut.... I find the old cmyk to pms guide to be very helpful (if you can find a cmyk mixing book that would be best - that has...
  7. Weird quirky story

    but that was not the question.... and yes, supply and demand do help drive price increases - but also drops. inflation causes your moneys to be worth less while making the government's moneys worth more (relatively speaking...) YOU would not need to raise prices because of inflation if the...
  8. Longest lasting digital print?

    ... well, the title and actual question are about the longest lasting digital prints.... Well, let me know if you find any that have lasted longer. There are digital fax transmissions that were printed on cotton paper that are still around and legible ..... these date back to the 1840's... so...
  9. Weird quirky story

    ... now for a mind-trip: If no one ever raised their prices, would there be any inflation? (and the Govt reducing the value of money by printing more is a way to force a counter to raising prices - for the Govt only as we all have to earn the lower valued money as well....)
  10. Rant Whatever happened to Health & Safety?

    look close - there is a deck on top of the van... I am not saying what they are doing in the pic is safe... BUT a deck could be built that looks like that one and has secure attachment points for the ladder, etc.... so other than not knowing which side of the road to drive on, they may...
  11. Overlaminate without a laminator

    I would assume that the needed pressure depends a little on the type of laminate adhesive... most I have used use very little pressure to set, but you will see some silvering caused by boundary layers - trapped air, microscopically thin - that will go away in about 24 hours on its own as the...

    IF only we all loved our work this much....
  13. Harley Davidson replacement graphic

    not sure which 'here' you are referring to... I am in the U.S.A. and have been told as such about moneys from attorneys... there really is this concept in U.S. law that says there must be damages to bring action.... I have been told by a few attorneys that students are allowed to use any...
  14. Harley Davidson replacement graphic

    agreed... my reference was more about the giant soup cans like are on the CSU Ft Collins campus... But it also sounds like he had already run into trouble from soup cans in other media and markets... especially using someone else's exact artwork and just printing in different colors has been...
