  1. Need Help magnet material and hp

    Speaking of magnetic sheets, what material are they made of? And is it laser cutter friendly? I have my doubts that it may be made of PVC.
  2. Magenta Overspray ? Mimaki JV150-160

    I had a very similar issue just this week from my China dx5 printer. Everything was fine until a week ago. All tests are ok except that I have an overspray of cyan. I had the technician come over and after checking everything, he cleaned the ink line (drain the ink from the ink line, flush it...
  3. Question How Do They Do It? Acrylic bonding

    Thank you for the replies. I will check this VHB tape with my supplier. Hopefully, they have this. Good day to you all.
  4. Question How Do They Do It? Acrylic bonding

    Also, would you recommend sticking the vhb before laser cutting or after?
  5. Question How Do They Do It? Acrylic bonding

    Thank you for the suggestion. I've also thought of that and asked my supplier if there is a vhb tape that is not thick like the typical ones. They don't have anything like that. I need thin ones so that the acrylic will sit cleanly with the background.
  6. Question How Do They Do It? Acrylic bonding

    I've been wondering how do you guys manage to glue/bond acrylic this cleanly? Here in our shop, we use chloroform on a glass syringe and we have a hard time doing it with out a few minor spills every once in a while. I appreciate the input. Many thanks.

  8. Question Anyone used a WOOD CHIPPER to grind up coroplast drops?

    Oh! So it is PP. If I was only near, I would gladly take it off your hands. Try to search online for the "Precious Plastics" community. There might be one in your area. Maybe you can work something out with them.
  9. Question Anyone used a WOOD CHIPPER to grind up coroplast drops?

    My apologies as I am not really familiar with coroplast here in my country. What material is it made from? Is it polycarbonate? HDPE, PP perhaps? Here in our sign shop, scrap acrylics and sintra boards are fed into a shredder. Mostly any plastic that is not recyclable. They come out the size of...
  10. My flatbed is to slow, so looking for tips on screen printing coroplast campaign signs with uv ink

    I guess this is standard, worldwide advice when dealing with politicians, hehe.
  11. Are they any machines that can help to produce a lot ready-to-use decals?

    You mean an "automatic weeding machine"? Those exist. Pricey though.
  12. Strange problem with DX5 printhead

    Any news regarding this? I have a similar issue like this on my eco-sol dx7 china printer. Never had any problems with it in two years of ownership. But it all started to show fuzzy cyan during print status the moment we relocated to our new warehouse. The technician is stumped as to what is...
  13. Need a Camera

    Hello 3Dsigns, I am a photographer first and a signmaker second (though I grew up with the later). Taking good photos is more of a skill than gear. I hope you dont take offense in me asking but, are you familiar with the manual controls of a camera? The reason I asked is because if you use the...
