  1. Chinese uv printer "Experience"

    I paid 4K for my printer with delivery / import charges, etc. I've ordered ink from them multiple times, and so far it's been the same ink. They say it's $20 a liter... but that has the caveat of it's $20 from china... if I buy from the US It's $50. So I buy 10-20 liters at a time, and the...
  2. Chinese uv printer "Experience"

    Support isn't bad.... They reply and help out even after months. The software is hacked together pirated Software, and you can't use main stream software like onyx. That and its a macguyvered printer using heads and boards from multiple printers / manufacturerd... So its not a solid built...
  3. Need Help Best Tools/ Equipment For Traffic Sign Fabrication/ Installation

    If you dig a lot of post holes.... Get an earth auger. You'll still need the post hole digger for when you hit a rock, but we purchased one for a job when we had to dig 50+ holes...it saved so much time and was worth the few hundred bucks and saved our backs. We got the cheap Ryobi one because...
  4. Transfer Tape Applicator

    [Edit] NM... You spelled it wrong in your link. https://corbellclamp.com/ Went to look because I was interested, and the website didn't work...so I checked... and it hasn't been registered yet even?
  5. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    Theres a lot of people who eyeball it and wont spend the extra 5 minutes to use a tape measure. You can tell by all the trucks you see with graphics slanted, drifting up / down, where on one side of the vehicle the graphics end 1" from the brake light...then 6" on the other side of the vehicle...
  6. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    225 would cover the install..... Probably 4-500 all in.
  7. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    I'd say even 1 hour is generous! Next time a letter vehicle comes into a shop, time it from the moment you start cleaning to the moment you start driving it out. I'm counting 3 pieces on the back, 2 on the sides. So that's 7 decals to measure and get straight. I'd probably be at an hour if...
  8. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    Well... The operator said he was having issues and had to tape up the second barcode... So I'm guessing it's not fixed. It worked in my limited trial run! Guess I'll play with it more on Friday.. Wish I got more machine time these days!
  9. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    That seemed to work. I lowered everything to the lowest.... the barcodes are really, really close to eachother, but summa seems to be smart and see that one is the back and one is the front, so it jumps to the front one when it gets to the actual barcode part. Thanks! We've been running the...
  10. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    Hmm.. I'm running default, but I guess changing it to less margin should theoretically work, assuming the F1612 stops past that margin. If I remember right, it was stopping right near the end of the cut and then just starting to read from there - you'd think it'd Stop and then "origin" past the...
  11. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    I figured I'd ask before I attempt a work around.... As this seems like something that shouldn't be happening. Right now we have onyx printing barcodes on front and back, that way it doesnt matter if we laminate or not. The F1612 will do the first barcode perfect... but then itll try to...
  12. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    second set of heavy duty blades
  13. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    The Tangential blade is the chinese one only, I dont have a non used summa one. For the 2 heavy duty blades... The image on the top with a slightly discolored look is the chinese blade - Bottom silverish one is the OG Summa. Funny enough the chinese one has a sharper point.... Now you cant...
  14. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    Yep, I'll try to get some this weekend. I have an original heavy duty blade then I will try to get some of as well for comparison. All of the other OEM blades are used, so it wouldn't be fair to compare to those. I will say I've cut a few rolls of vinyl with the tangential blade, and the...
  15. Summa blades, bits and consumables

    You're supposed to be a merchant member if you want to advertise merchant services. Its not fair to him, or other suppliers that they pay for the ability to do so..and others skirt the rules. Here... May as well open the doors for everyone...
  16. 3D Printed Dimensional Letters

    Have you used a modern 3d printer? The klipper firmware makes the prints pretty smooth... Its not as perfect as acyrlic, but if you're doing outdoor large letters, you won't notice it. Petg works great for outdoors. As does asa.... I don't know if its hold up to Texas sun, but both are...
  17. 3D Printed Dimensional Letters

    These days size isn't an issue. https://ca.elegoo.com/products/orangestorm-giga?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsc24BhDPARIsAFXqAB0DVxDhBOFGyThz-cVWfdhb8kQHgYvCVR8k4wDq-qRs3sKSNB0qTCcaAiFtEALw_wcB And you can add extra hot ends to it.... So if you're printing smaller, it'll print 3-4 letters at a...
  18. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    I'm pretty sure he was talking about sticker mule, not Trump. You're linking Trump facts.... He's linking sticker mule articles. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with using overseas products, or labor, providing it doesn't involve slave labor. There was a time though when Trump was...
  19. How to adhere (and remove) coro signs from box truck?

    Just use a vinyl like idot, or transit bus wrap vinyl that comes off easy. Pretty much the only option unless you want to gamble that the 4x8 sign will come off while hes driving, or tear the paint off when you remove it.
