Just got a phone call from Grimco to tell me that Epson has increased the price of their ink due to the tariffs the USA has placed on multiple countries where the ink is made, as a result my costs on epson ink have gone up 24% as of tomorrow, By the sounds of it, this will affect all of North...

As soon as I heard the USA grows rice, I assumed it was for their "beer"

They know they messed up, why else do you think there was a random announcement of a 25% tariff on cars made yesterday, why not just wait until the 2nd and announce it with all the others? Got to change the news cycle!

I just got this email from JDS. Pricing is going up even on USA produced products due to "Market Conditions" I thought the whole point of these Tariffs was to bring production back to the USA which will lower prices, or did I get that wrong? March 26, 2025 We are all hearing about tariffs...

the issue i'm asking about is if a 10" fan blowing into a 6" pipe is going to create a bottleneck and cause less air to flow through than if I just stuck with a 6" fan in a 6" pipe

This happens occasionally on our vision 1624 as well, only solution I've found is to turn off the controller and turn it back on.

Thats the fan I was looking at, but in 8", I can't enlarge the 6" pipe that goes out the wall, so would a 10" fan going into a 6" pipe cause issues?

the current print room is about 15'x20' with 8 foot ceilings. the current fan just helps to get the ink smell out on long print runs. I will be adding a laser cutter and am hoping to tie into the existing duct work that runs out the back of the building, I'm wondering if swapping the 6" fan @...

I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on a question I have. i currently have an exhaust fan in my print room, I will be adding another piece of equipment that needs venting. The current fan is a 6" duct fan, outputting around 430 CFM. would I be able to replace the fan with an 8" one...

It's the anti graffiti laminate, I had the same thing happen, it's not a vinyl based product so it doesn't behave like vinyl. I ended up having to redo the job and store and transport the panels flat.

He mentioned it's for safety labels in a factory, I don't think phototex is the answer...

I order my banners from a wholesaler who heat welds the edges, I dispise making banners and use every opportunity to sub them out.

One of my favorite Canadian finance youtubers just put out a very good video explaining why these 200-300% tariff figures that are being thrown around online right now are not only disingenuous but also completely incorrect, it's worth the 15 minutes to watch, he cites all of his sources and...

Yes Canada has a heavily regulated dairy industry, we used to not import any US Dairy at all as a protection for our own dairy farmers, plus a lot of the hormones in US milk is not allowed in Canadian dairy. When Trump re-negotiated NAFTA during his first term, one of the "wins" he got was...

They are from Brampton, this should tell you all you need to know, it's the home of the bargain basement sign companies.

Oh man, is this the future of AI bots?

PVC outdoors will always warp, especially 3mm thick, The PVC we use in this industry is "foamed PVC" which means it's whipped up plastic with tons of air voids through it, the air in those voids shrinks/expands and a massive rate causing warping. I'm not sure about you, but where we are a sheet...

It really does! The number of vector canvas files I've gotten recently that don't behave like any vector I've ever seen is alarming. Got one this week and I went to change the background colour to match the closest cut vinyl and instead of showing a deep yellow, it showed grey, but the swatch...

Here's the way I look at it, I can usually tell fairly early on in the initial conversation if this person is likely to know what a vector file is. If I get the feeling that they don't, I add a small charge to the quote to cover sending their file off to get vectorized. On the off chance that...
