  1. Suggestions 30" Vinyl

    do they do they still supply 60" rolls? can always get them cut-down. we have a specialty tapes supplier in our region that cuts-down 48" rolls of double-sided red acrylic tape to 1/4" increments.
  2. Question Are you currently using digital lamination film in your print process?

    OP is just in marketing for her UK based laminate supplier, Gif curious whom they source from, as I've never heard of the brand before but they seem like a larger supplier than for your typical wideformat printer.
  3. How long does a sign last?!!!

    this sign turns twenty next summer! 3M cast trans vinyl still holding up but the polycarb is a bit yellow'd and the LEDs are noticeably dimmed. used to be the largest four-faced clocktower in the world, until the Saudi's out-did us in 2010.
  4. new Mimaki CJV 200

    from a consumer standpoint: if its better, let it rip! i would pay more for a higher quality product. from a producer standpoint: if its better, let it rip! i will price it accordingly, assuming ~7 year obsolescence. edited to add: i could still be making signs on my mimaki jv3 if i needed...
  5. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    solid reminder that the undercutters don't pay taxes. we should all aspire to be so bold.
  6. Is it worth making this in-house?

    polycarb should be fine, for me its actually ideal on larger faces. yes its the same as an acrylic letter face ....EXCEPT you cannot use the regular channel letter weld-on glue for acrylics as it won't bond to the polycarbonate. we use the weld-on 58 two-part polyurethane adhesive. and the face...
  7. Need Help Red turns to black or dark blue at random

    yikes! that is random! was expecting to see some sort of ink dropout, but looks like the printhead decides to fire all colors at once at random. possibly a dirty encoder strip or a piece of lint/cathair on the encoder sensor? else it could be an issue with one of the ribbon cables starting to...
  8. Need Help Red turns to black or dark blue at random

    post pics of the issue, and of your nozzle test print.
  9. Is there a way when I run out of material to start where the job left off?

    there are online calculators for this if you need. link here which is based on the formula: L = (D² - d²) * 0.785 / T where L is the remaining length, D is the outer diameter of the roll, d is the inner diameter of the core of vinyl (or the cardboard core outer diameter), and T is the...
  10. Is there a way when I run out of material to start where the job left off?

    i mean, technically you can just run a tile of the remaining portion you're trying to finish but it will have a seam in it
  11. Trying to match an odd blade mount bracket

    looks just like simple Uchannel screwed into the wall and then anchors drilled through the sides to hold the acrylic.
  12. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    new tide pod challenge incoming.
  13. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    thanks Trump
  14. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    its almost as if we just had a recent mass-slaughter due to a few cases of bird flu i'm still getting eggs for $1 a carton from my local poulterer
  15. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    yes, Turkeys lay eggs. now we just have to find a way to harness TDS as a power source, and we'd have an unlimited supply of energy.
  16. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    even with tariffs & shipping, aussies can still get cheaper eggs & gas from the US
  17. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    ok, so you are lying. apology retracted.
  18. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    i apologize for accusing you of lying. media is to blame for pushing narratives to people who are easily manipulated, as knee-jerk reactions keep you tuned-in while they generate massive amounts of ad revenue and endless infighting keeps everyone's eye off the ball in play. as stated many...
  19. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    lie some more, in a weak attempt to accuse others of exactly what you are doing by omitting his response and parsing it to fit your narrative "I don't know, I have to respond again by saying that I have brilliant lawyers working for me and will obviously have to do what the Supreme Court has...
  20. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    a quote without context, is not a lie. ...it is, in fact, your clipping out the rest of his response to fit your narrative. next.
