Ha, good catch! It's a 2021.

My lease is up on my 2018 Lariat (gas) in the spring and I'm seriously considering giving a Lightning a shot, but we'll see what the rates are by then. My buyout is pretty attractive so I may just go that route.

Roland's website states this: During operation: Temperature: 20 to 32°C (68 to 89.6°F), humidity: 35 to 80%RH (no condensation) Up to 80% seems crazy.....personally I find as close to 50% humidity as possible is best. If your vinyl is getting wavy, high humidity will likely be the cause...

Hopefully you put more effort into your estimating than you do in your posts. Saying "3M brand print" is just about as vague and lazy as it gets. Figure out whatever materials you're thinking of using, then multiply by your markup (2.5 here) then factor in all your overhead and labor etc...

To determine for sure if the vehicle has been coated. As far as I know there are no vinyls designed to stick to ceramic coatings. By nature they are designed to prevent anything from sticking to them. Then again I'm no ceramic coating expert.... :peace!:

I suspect this is only going to become a bigger problem for us, kind of like the introduction of all the additives in wall paints. Does 3M or anyone make a ceramic coating test kit for vehicles yet? Other than watching decals fail, is there any other method of testing with any certainty if a...

I'd probably put these all the same category: Compressed foam board Foam board (Foamex) Paper foam board Gator board This is a different animal: Falcon board https://lairdplastics.com/test/falconboard/ They are not all the same thing, just different variations of a similar thing, in the sense...

That's 100% dock rash if I've ever seen it. Is he claiming those scuff marks on the gel coat are just a coincidence?

Thankfully (and shockingly) the ability to generate vector text still hasn't caught up yet. Easy to spot AI garbage when it's riddled with mistakes and words that don't make sense. I'm surprised that the combination of digital art AI and something like text generating AI like ChatGPT haven't...

I would be more concerned with the printing aspect, have you printed perf on that machine before? We haven't been able to get ours to print perf without curing ink in the holes.

This is what we use.... lateral filing cabinet with folders marked w/ part numbers etc by customer for smaller stuff. Larger stuff gets stored in flat filing cabinets. Anything that doesn't fit in those gets rolled or packed flat and stored in random locations throughout the shop...

On that note, has anyone tried 24 yet? Curious to see what they've added/fixed. My Advantage subscription runs out in a couple of weeks so I'll probably upgrade while I can.

Yikes, that's a mess. I get that HDU isn't cheap but I would have personally leaned towards throwing that thing in the trash and hiring a real reputable company to build a new one. Might be a good opportunity to improve that layout (I'm looking at you, area code) Sanding the paint down has...

Hate to tell you this, but from the sounds of it you'll have to adjust your expectations. Manufacturer rebates definitely aren't helping in this scenario but when it comes to used sign equipment you're never going to get top dollar, especially on equipment that's been sitting for years. No...

Interesting. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of this brand or product. Have you tried contacting them directly?

Yes, dump your waste ink tank down the drain (kidding, of course) then reinsert and reset the counter. The printer does lack a sheet cut knife/feature. At first when I noticed that on our S60600 I was a bit taken aback but quickly learned to love using a knife to do it yourself. On our mimaki...

You could make them out of wood or HDU........or sub it out to someone like these guys: https://foamcraft.com/

Not sure if you saw this recent thread but there were some suggestions made there: https://www.signs101.com/threads/nesting-software-suggestions.176719/

It's really too bad. I had high hopes for using layout tool when we first moved to Thrive but it's not usable as far as I'm concerned. Being able to manipulate positioning of individual copies would be great but apparently is too complicated for Onyx to get right.
