Seems a good deal, but I'm located in Canada.

I’m ready to move up from my manual grommet press to something semi‑automatic—or maybe fully automatic—without breaking the bank. That’s why I’ve been checking out some budget‑friendly Chinese models. Below are two options I’ve found online: Semi‑automatic press – ≈ $300 Fully automatic press...

I've had the 700w for around three years now and never had any problems with it. Last fall, HP issued a recall on the tubes and motherboard (I think), and everything was done for free, even though the machine was out of warranty. The technician had to replace the tube system 24 hours later due...

I use synthetic poster paper for studs (we always have this in stock) and laser cut cardboard for flat. For flat, we were using low tac material. But the time to cut and premask then lay it out on the job site was alot more time consuming than cardboard.

This is their smaller bed. I'm looking for their bigger one with all the options. Plus they made an update recently. I've been in communication with them since december and made them print a couples of examples. So far it's interesting. Good to know about alibaba. I will make sure to order...

ikarasu I'm currently looking at sinocolor brand for a mini flatbed printer. Especially to make braille and tactile products. I want something cheap to get my feet wet before going with a big brand. It's pretty hard to compared one brand to another mainly to see their after sales service. But I...

I have a 700w and I'm in the montreal area. I have the printer for a bit less than 3 years now and never had any major problems. If I'm down, it is never more than 2-3 days. There's been a physical update of the printer done last summer (free by HP) and the tech had to change the tubes 2 times...

I have a 700w. I use white for spot 95% of the time. I've done some small jobs with 3 layers and 5 layers but never really tried to dial the timing. I've took a regular 6pass, 8pass and 12 pass to time the job. apply a price per hour then try to apply this same price for the profiles with white...

I'm very skeptical the plastic would hold up. Plus it seems more suitable for rigid signs.

I like the idea but could be a bit expensive. What else would you use for larger and more permanent jobs?

I've suggested something similar but the customer "did not like the look". yeah, I know.

I need suggestions other than plastic tie wraps to hold a banner on a chain-link fence. It's not a large banner, just 38in x 80in. I've used stainless steel tie wraps before, and even though they are rated for 250lbs, I’ve had issues with them in the past, even on smaller banners. Thanks.

We bought diablo rebar demon and it did not get through with our standard hammer drill. We with try with a sds rotary drill next time. Yes, the brick have a slick graze on it. We have Diablo rebar demain bit. Our next try will be with a SDS rotary hammer drill.

It make sense. I will look into it. Thank you.

Well, good to know this information and it make sens. My drill is 3 years old but I don't know how old is his. Can you recommend a good milwaukee model?
