  1. UPS Strike

    If you think about how much total value is sitting on every UPS truck, train, plane, ship, in distribution and transfer hubs... How much of it is time sensitive, perishable... I'd think shutting it all down for a strike would be financial suicide for them. How many long term large customers that...
  2. Ford Explorer Door Handle HELP!

    Be careful not to lose any more nuts! Take your time, be patient and they'll go back on.
  3. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    Depending on how many you're doing, you can use an OLFA TS-1 top sheet cutter. I do some safety rating labels for a customer that makes roll cages for heavy equipment and wants them slit, I use this, It's cheap and it works pretty good. All you're doing is a single slit across the liner. Slit...
  4. Ford Explorer Door Handle HELP!

    I had faith in you... The worst part of wraps are the really heavy compound curves like bumpers, partials like that are a good way to get your feet wet. You might have lost a little on this one, but now you know you can do it. :toasting:
  5. Ford Explorer Door Handle HELP!

    I missed it too, or I might have been able to help... :(
  6. what kind of material to use for translucent stickers? Customers does not want the black background. I have a mutoh vj 1324

    Do you (or they) have a vector of this so you can remove the background? If not, you might have to re-draw it.
  7. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    I notice differences in the same vinyl's. We go through quite a bit of IJ40C, and select rolls from recent batches have a much stronger adhesive smell compared to other batches. Like standing over an open bucket of glue. I'm sure that there are variations like that, and more, from every batch...
  8. Contour cutting

    Make sure the rollers and grit rollers are clean. Slowing it down helps too. When you're working with heavy material, just like mashing the gas on your car from a stop, wheels can spin on these too.
  9. Price check: 8x4 skid sign real estate/construction site

    You will assimilate... tee hee...
  10. Party time...

    Now boarding at gate 13...
  11. Party time...

    Shot glasses just slow me down...
  12. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    Hard to imagine the regular 35 doesn't have branding. 3M goes so far overboard with branding that I'm surprised they don't tattoo their logo on employees.
  13. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    The only difference between 35 and 35C is the "C" is comply (air release). They both use the same liner material, and though I don't have any 35 in stock, every roll of 3M I have (ot that I've ever gotten for that matter) has branding on the liner. Sooooo..... I think something is amiss with...
  14. Cured UV ink scratching off new signs - help!

    Adhesion promoter... Cheap coroplast isn't always coated the best, or at all. I ran a Fujifilm (same printer, different name), and used their Uvijet-ZE, worked like a charm.
  15. How do I know the size of semi truck door ?

    I wish people would understand that in this business... Size does matter :oops:
  16. Hiring a business coach

    I'm not saying it's all bad, just do the right stuff, in the right scenario, and for the right purpose. Real business training is different, human resources, accounting, book-keeping and records management is a lot different, and more useful than what you get with business coaches, advisors, and...
  17. Rant Vector drawing,,,Have we gone back 40 years?

    Many years ago, in a galaxy far away, Serif (the makers of Affinity) had a lot of software that I once used regularly. Draw Plus, Page Plus, Web Plus, Photo Plus... Any other old timers ever use any of these?
  18. Hiring a business coach

    Two of the tech certificates I have are Lean Manufacturing and Critical Business Skills, the kind of stuff coaches and classes shove down people's throats, companies waste money sending people to, and they don't really fit into much of the "sign shop" industry. Most of their stuff focuses on...
  19. Admin username and password HP Latex 800W

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a factory reset to enter new ones... But it's different for each model. Contact HP support, and see if they can walk you through it.
  20. Rant Vector drawing,,,Have we gone back 40 years?

    I'm pushing 70, and get where you're coming from. I switched to Affinity Designer. It's not overly-bloated with crap I'll never use, it's streamlined, fast, and I can do everything in half the time, with 1/4 the clicks and keyboard shortcuts as Illustrator, there's no size restrictions (I can...
