  1. Longest lasting digital print?

    Definitely avoid vinyl film unless it has some type of cover. Second surface would work. At my last shop, we made queue line signs each season for a waterpark and the most cost-effective/ durable combo that worked for us were direct prints with liquid laminate. Not the most robust, but they...
  2. Anyone a good source for high-rez Pepsi graphics?

    Is this it? https://www.pepsicomarketinghub.com/asset-library
  3. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    Yeah, good show - Walton Goggins is great (as always). I wasn't aware of the video game, so I didn't know about the ending (woah). You should try to stick with it to the end.
  4. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    Nah, just finished watching that new fallout show on amazon
  5. Issues Cutting Foam Core

    Could it be heat (friction)? I don't have a Colex but I know that friction can warm up foam and pvc to the point of becoming sticky, which could cause tearout.
  6. No Pantone But Client Wants "Color Match" - what does your shop do?

    Really only a few options: 1. Ask them to choose an available color 2. Ask them to bring you a sample to match 3. Add cost to the job to cover custom-mixed paint swatches
  7. Flippin' Illustrator keeps shutting down. Not crashing, just disappearing.

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/27-1-1-and-27-2-illustrator-crashes-and-disappear-using-wacom-tablet/m-p/13513837 Here's a similar sounding complaint that was traced back to a Wacom driver -
  8. Discussion Boudica...................................

    This one's a little moody and twangy, but a great song -
  9. Need Help Here!!!!!

    As Boudica mentioned, Flexi has some great tutorials on YT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL961oV9sNePBIwwWPzzBAZ99JqO8rY2v9 Be careful with "free" assets - some are only free for personal use, with attribution, have sales limits, etc. Adobe Stock has a free for commercial section...
  10. Looking for fully editable numbers and letter templates like this

    Yes! Smart Objects! I use this when building menu files. That way I can edit the menu content/pricing without mucking up everything else. Did you do this in Illustrator?
  11. Wake up HP Latex 630 from remote desktop????

    Its just the IP address of the printer. Put that into your URL bar of choice and you can access the printer from the network.
  12. Wake up HP Latex 630 from remote desktop????

    Yep, you can wake it from the embedded web server (on a 300 series anyway): https://lkc.hp.com/blog/how-to-use-the-embedded-web-server-on-hp-latex-300-series
  13. Suggestions Laser level for exterior use?

    I've seen the guys around here using these two-piece leveling systems in their construction projects. I think one device levels off the other since the laser lines aren't visible outdoors. (this isn't my pic - just did a quick search for a visual aid)
  14. Question easiest way to make a template, for REO sign riders

    Do you have Composer? There's a text merge feature that reads content from a Notepad note and puts it into your file where/how you want. https://www.signs101.com/threads/text-merge-function-in-gerber-omega.19769/
  15. Anyone know what this "mechanism" is called?

    Transfer tape applicator? https://uscutter.com/webermade-double-shaft-tape-applicator-tool/ In my shop we have the single version, but I put two rolls side by side. As stated above, something like this is easy to build on your own as well.
