  1. Question CorelDRAW Macro For Stud Mounted Letters?

    Love this trick and use it every day! For the OP - sorry to answer your question with a question......... how do you make your patterns for those letters? When you're drilling 1/4" holes for studs, are you adding pads on those locations or tapping the holes manually after? Been wanting to...
  2. Simple white window graphics. Is die-cut white vinyl alone sufficient?

    I'll take calendared removals any day... it's usually a breeze where as cast is an absolute nightmare. Recently stripped a tractor we did 10 years or so ago with 220 and it was a pain, even with a steamer.
  3. Simple white window graphics. Is die-cut white vinyl alone sufficient?

    We use 750 for a lot of things, but if I were doing exterior cut window graphics I'd go with Gerber 220. Not sure if you've dealt with ND Graphics out your way (or how close Dartmouth is to you for that matter) but they're great folks to deal with here in Winnipeg anyways. If you get a...
  4. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    We don't use the cutting feature, at all. I ran away from Rasterlink as fast as I could as soon as I used it, we strictly use it as a printer and cut everything through Onyx cutserver on Summa cutters. So they sent you the wrong ink? We have LUS-170 CMYKLcLm and LUS-200 WW, is that the set up...
  5. Discussion Are Projected Signs the future?

    That's pretty slick. Wonder if they're using something like 3M Vikuiti - not even sure if they still make the stuff. This is from 16 years ago, lol:
  6. Greetings from Cape Breton Island, Canada. New to the industry.

    Welcome from Winnipeg! Sounds like you've got a nice collection of equipment to start experimenting with. Ask away - you'll find most members helpful with even the simplest questions as long as you put some effort into it, which you obviously have with your intro. Best of luck with your...
  7. Window perf printed

    1. What material (vinyl and laminate) did you use? 2. I wouldn't trust the average end user to install most decals properly, let alone a full rear windshield perforated decal. In the future I would make it clear (assuming you're actually using the right materials to begin with) that customer...
  8. How do I fix these?

    Studs, or any of the aforementioned suggestions.

  10. Canva

    Here is ChatGPT's take on it: For all new projects, we kindly ask that you provide us with your files in PDF format. If you are unable to provide PDF files, a minimum setup fee of $50 will apply. This helps us make sure your project is done correctly and on time. Thank you for understanding and...
  11. Canva

    I'm pretty sure it's only the premium (paid) Canva plans that allow you to download PDF versions of your crappy designs. If your customers are sending you cheap raster art they're too cheap to pony up a couple bucks to get real files. I'd come up with a quick policy/blurb on conditions if...
  12. How do I fix these?

    You guys are nuts, you NEED mechanical fasteners on something like this. Geez.

  15. Suggestions Need a new wholesale screen-printing partner (Decals)

    Good to know, thank you! I know it's really an outdated material, but customer likes that they can write with a pen and have it permanently etched on there until the next service is due.
  16. Suggestions Need a new wholesale screen-printing partner (Decals)

    Thank you!! Getting a bit of backlash on the pricing for the 3M option compared to what we've charged in the past for these. Would love to check out some alternate options.
  17. Printing on Epson Sure Colour S80600 cutting on Roland GR-640

    When viewing your cut job in CutServer, on the right hand "Cut File Tools" menu, under "Registration Mark Detection" - is "Automatic Mark Detection" selected?
  18. Suggestions Need a new wholesale screen-printing partner (Decals)

    Thanks to everyone that's reached out and made suggestions - I've got a couple of leads now.
  19. Suggestions Need a new wholesale screen-printing partner (Decals)

    Ink requirements would really only be that it bites and holds up for a year-ish outdoors. Black ink only. Print isn't super detailed.
