  1. .oo5" lexEdge

  2. .oo5" lexEdge

    Actually i never use 3M edge material. Companies here in Sweden rarley selling it and from what i've seen it's expensive indeed. This new combination i use is a bit more expensive then just reverse print on the old armalex edge ready material BUT, back when using that i always had to print a...

  5. Applying vinyl issues, need advice!

    Just came back to the workshop, the waterbubbles had flatten out by itself this morning, the whole sign was flat apart from like 2-3 small small ones on one letter! But i guess better tech will fix this for future work!
  6. Applying vinyl issues, need advice!

    When you saying "Don't sweat it" you mean im using to much water? Is it possible to use to much and the result of overconsuming it is this? Indeed it's metallic vinyl, actually i diden't thought it could be that! Iv'e been using all kind of squeeges, never finding the right one, theyre all to...
  7. Applying vinyl issues, need advice!

    Hi! Been doing quite many signs and car jobs by now, still im quite new to the bussiness. Doing Aluminium signs today. Always applying vinyl graphics using water with a drop of soap. Sometimes i get no "waterbubbels" at all and sometimes it's just alot of them everywhere. You know when you...

  13. Machine for CYMK printing ice scrapes?

    Hi. Dunno about the translation of ice scrapers but i'll just go on and hope you get me right. So, our company got an order for 1 million ice scrapes with cymk digital print on it. Currently the machines here are just some plotters and a gerber edge 2. So this might be just the right...
  14. Cutting handwritten fonts?

    Might be the wrong forum but i'll try this one. Im having some issues when it comes to cutting handwritten fonts. If i just make a quick example, let's say i wanna make the text "my name is jimmie" in a standard handwritten font. Im mainly using coredraw x3 for all my work. If i turn on to view...
  15. Gerber EDGE2 fill issues

    Well, we can take the ones here for example. they orderd 4000. i can fit about 20 on the height and then i usually never make more then 1.5m on the lenght since it's tricky to work with such big pieces, i rather make like 4 of those 1.5m. The label itself is mostly 15 x 30 mm. they are various...
