  1. What wrap material to use!

    I never liked IJ180C and have always used Avery MPI1105 with DOL1360Z laminate. But if the price increases are due to being US imports, perhaps you could try Oracal.
  2. Application tape by size

    Don't buy the Briteline tape and you can get single rolls.
  3. North korea vinyl not that great

    Looks fine from the spy satellite.
  4. Epson S80-600 Printing Issue

    Not sure I can see the fault in the print. What am I looking at?
  5. dimensional logo "wrap"?

    Yeah, that would have to be bent. The globe might have to be too if the curve of the wall is that great.
  6. dimensional logo "wrap"?

    You can use letters from any manufacturer of dimensional letters. The curve doesn't make any difference. The red swoop might be the only piece that would show it. You can measure the amount of curvature over the distance it covers by going up on the roof. If it's enough that the studs on the...
  7. Epson S60600 Compatibility

    Yes. The cutter is independent of the printer. You can mix and match brands. As long as your RIP software has drivers for the devices.
  8. Anyone know this Font?

    Planet Kosmos
  9. Golden Ratio

    Here's what Adobe says: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/design/discover/golden-ratio.html Easier to think in thirds. Draw an imaginary tic tac toe grid evenly on your sign shape. Place things you want to emphasize at the intersections of the lines. (That's a kind of intersectionality I can...
  10. Printing on Translucent

    I guess everyone around here is dumb. I've been doing signs for over 30 years, and everybody puts signs either on a timer or uses a photocell. With timers they often have the sign turn off at 2 am or something like that. You know, save money on electricity. Or reduce carbon outputs. Whatever.
  11. Printing on Translucent

    There's no such thing as a proper backlit profile. Backlit profiles all overink the print, which is not proper because the colors are darkened too much for daytime viewing.
  12. Printing on Translucent

    Exactly. And in reality a lit sign is seen by a lot more people unlit during the day.
  13. Printing on Translucent

    Get some clear vinyl. Print the exact same file in reverse on the clear. Install it on the backside of the acrylic panel in register with the image on the front. In the future you will find it easier to put the clear layer on the front first, then the translucent on top of it. If you print it...
  14. Did y'all see what some "designer" did to poor Pope Francis' Tomb??

    That's the thing. They insidiously build their political or philosophical biases into the subject material, no matter what it is. The naive college student cannot see it and just absorbs it as truth.
  15. Help Head Washing on S60600 Epson

    You can use used cleaning cartridges but not if they are expired.
  16. Does Anyone Know What This Vinyl Is

    Considering that a search for Graphcal™ GX3100 on Google turns up absolutely zero results, I'd be suspicious that it's a real product at all.
  17. Vehicle window perf issues

    Could be different storage conditions, one kept in a garage the other outside. That said, check what the manufacturer of the perf says is the life of the material. Most say the maximum life is 2 years anyway.
  18. Moving business need advice

    A business located a half hour drive away might be considered "still local" or "far away" depending on the locale. Here where we are, it's a large recreational lake with numerous small towns and villages around it. It can take 45 minutes to get from some towns to another, but it's all considered...
  19. FC9000-160 super aggressive at pulling from the feed roll, anyone know how to slow it down?

    You have to prefeed vinyl on a roll feed cutter (i.e. you have to have the length of the cut unrolled from the roll before starting to cut.)
  20. Credit Card Terminal

    Quickbooks seems to really play up mobile billing, but it works fine with desktop computers too. How many businesses actually run around and do all their Quickbooks on a phone?
