  1. Overlaminate without a laminator

    Get a manual laminator. Tabletop ones range from $100-300-ish, depending on width/ vendor. You can get larger manual or electric ones under a grand. They don't have heat assist, takeup systems, or any of the other goodies, and to be honest, too low quality for full production use, but they do...
  2. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I'd probably need a little assistance breaking down a whole animal at my age. Don't like to share, but who wouldn't help out for a cut of the bacon, or good smoked pork? Convert a tanker truck into a smoker, a refer for storage, mmmmmm.
  3. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I'll use all the stuff we have for signs to build a big ol' thunder dome cage. Charge everyone a pig for admission because, well... I like bacon.
  4. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    If it's zombies, I got nuthin' to worry about. They eat brains, I'm a drummer... Do the math.
  5. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    Signs will be needed... How ya' gonna know it's coming without them?
  6. color code for reflective vinyl

    Check with your vendors, we often get specialty and reflective vinyls by the yard.
  7. Not getting login code

    Go into your account and disable the two factor authentication, you should be able to log in as usual. You can always re-enable it later and see if it works like it should, or when you find out if it's a glitch.
  8. Epson Surecolor S40600 Spatters

    Damaged head (from a head strike, or head is cracked/ damaged in some other way), ink line leaking, a fitting loose, or cracked, cracked damper, internal leak in the head, something stuck on the head by the magenta that's collecting and dropping the ink (usually doesn't drop that much, but a...
  9. Jv33-head and print advice needed

    The lower priced ones usually don't come with the head memory board, you have to remove the one from the old head and use it on the new one. Make sure your printer is compatible, they all look the same, but usually run on different voltages to match each printer brand/ model. If you go that...
  10. Jv33-head and print advice needed

    If you're referring to the comp, that's about normal. I run that occasionally as part of regular maintenance, and it always ends up anywhere from high 20's to mid-high 30's on one, the other printer is around 40-ish +/- a few. It may just be aging out, and time for that new head you ordered.
  11. Jv33-head and print advice needed

    Just as a rule of thumb, the average lifespan of a head is around 5-ish years. Some get a lot more, some get less, depends on how well you maintain the printer, how much you print, but in my experience, that's about when they start aging out. Looks like you had multiple problems, if the capping...
  12. Jv33-head and print advice needed

    That head looks like it's seen better days, and is very dirty... Start with a soak and a good proper cleaning, might help. What do the test prints look like, that tells us more than these, post some pics of those. If it's printing lines on the edge, you may have the color strip turned on, it'll...
  13. 65 Daytona stripes

    Most of it shouldn't be too bad, that hood will probably be the most problematic because of the scoop. What I do for cars with scoops and double stripes is make those oversized. Always easy to get one edge lined up, even with compound curves around if it goes straight over. Lay the inside of the...
  14. Question DX7 Printhead Dented/Destroyed? Visible damage. No ink is printing at all. How did this happen? Help?!

    Wow... That thing took a beating! :oops: If ya' ever figure out what happened, let us know. We're curious like that.
  15. Cheap media for tryi g out cut designs

    The BN feeds material like a standard cutter, so no, paper is not a good option for trying to cut. If you damage the cutting strip, nothing will cut right, and you'll just throw $10-20 away on a new strip. Sometimes ya' gotta bite the bullet and waste a little material to get a machine set up...
