  1. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    We do. We find condoms and sex toys in the parking lot at least once a week. The good news is people parking for their late night activities deters thieves at least!
  2. Magnet Material

    Just because it's printable, doesn't mean you should. You're better off printing on vinyl and applying it to the magnet - The material never feeds properly... And theres a huge chance for a head strike, and a head strike / rub on magnet causes so much in damage, that its not worth it. But...
  3. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    So much political talk! Anyways... Finally got the solar Wifi camera up. I set it up to push a notification as well as E-mail me when theres motion after 6 PM...we close at 4. Caught 2 cars just "chilling" in our parking lot.... Caught a guy doing donuts in the culde-sac... I wish the...
  4. Shelf life

    All depends on the vinyl. Most vinyls, even 3m list a 1 year shelf life.... It lasts longer once applied as moisture / air are less likely to get to the glue. We have some vinyls that are 5 years old.... Some that are 8 years old.... Some are good, some aren't, and they've always been in a...
  5. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Well... I just ran into the issue again, not fun! It works fine for my graphtec. but I just printed 4x 150 FT banner rolls using the multiple sheets option for cutting out on my summa Flatbed... It'll send the data over to onyx fine, it'll read the first front marks...goto the second mark...
  6. Time Clock Options

    It was more inherited than fostered... Half the issues come from new employees, but the rewsin it happens is because the old employees who have worked at the company and been allowed to do it for 20+ years fight any changes. If it weren't mutually beneficial, we wouldn't allow it even if it...
  7. Time Clock Options

    We have about 15 people in our warehouse. 1 guy is at the DRS every week or two - or going home 2 hours early due to headaches / other things. 1 guy is 10-15 minutes late every single day. 1 group of 3 people take 40-45 minute lunches instead of 30 because they go out everyday and it...
  8. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    Canada's very strict about weapons. If someone breaks into your house and you shoot them with the gun you legally own.... You can still goto jail. It's not likelly, but you're not really protected under any law. I don't care though, what's a law and what the cops think is a reasonable law...
  9. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    No kidding right. I know angle grinders get through metal fast, but its a pretty thick door... And to get through 2 of them as well as try to get through the drywall in 5 places...its crazy! Trump knows how to get under peoples skin... I'm sure he'd hate having Canada as the 51st state, but he...
  10. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    So I wasn't going to post this since it was kind of boring - on the 24th at 1 am I got a call from the alarm company saying our fire panel is going haywire and they just wanted me to know. I tried to remote into the cameras just to make sure there wasn't a fire.... Couldn't connect. Tried to...
  11. self employment and banks

    I write off a ton for my home business. Got my first printer... 6? Years ago. I get to write off 1/3 of my house... Bills, etc, it's nice. I think for the first 3 years I was always at a negative since I kept buying more and more equipment. Now I have about 80k worth of equipment in my...
  12. self employment and banks

    Did you properly declare your taxes? I'm in Canada so it's a bit different... But even if you're self employed, they use your past xx years of income and average it out. I'm surprised your bank doesn't see you make xx every year for the past 5 years and isn't willing to use that figure. It's...
  13. Reflective Sign/Billboard how to

    Why would white fade? It's naturally white... Generally white would yellow when it's in the sun / going bad. We've removed a lot of cop cars that have been out for 10+ years, and the white turns to yellow. I don't think this would fade with the right print / material / overlam... 3M...
  14. Need Help Banner weights

    We just use wood dowwels. Super cheap, easy to cut.... Light weight, etc.
  15. HP Latex - need help taking a decision / your advice & experience would be highlly appreaciated

    Don't most photo shops use like HP designjets ? Or other aqueous inks. Wide format, including solvent won't get near as good at photo prints as a aqueous printer would. They're smaller as well, so should be better suited for you.
  16. Need Help Perf cut on graphtech fc9000/fc8600

    Yes, you can have it so it uses a different condition with less pressure, it'll cut the tab and then perf the rest out
  17. Need Help Perf cut on graphtech fc9000/fc8600

    Yes. Use the tool settings for perf cut, but turn the perf cut line off so it acts like it's kiss cutting
  18. laminator question

    I did a lot of research and Dmais was the best Chinese brand out there... Only one I could find where a few different shops ordered them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hUdg6obZivwsSEAE8 Heres a video of 100 FT of magnet being laminated with 3M 3430 Reflective - The magnet is about 100 lbs and...
  19. laminator question

    I believe rs doesn't sell in USA anymore... But does in Canada. Their us distributor sold his company or died, forget which! We have an rs.... It's good. Upgraded from an old Seal 54... The RS runs a full roll perfectly straight, It deviates by maybe 1/8" in either direction...so not enough to...
  20. Rant Summa GoProduce or Onyx Cutserver adding thousands of nodes??

    Im betting 24 would fix it too. I find it dumb that they support something.... But it has a shitload of bugs and makes it non usable, then they come out with the bug fixes in the next version and tell you to pay $1500 to upgrade... Same thing happened to me with my graphtec... Game breaking...
