We have an old royal soverign laminator 1401, and a kala. Since we got the kala we only use the RS for mounting to substrates and masking. The kala sucks at mounting, but is awesome at laminating. Recently we can't keep our RS from not wrinkling. Have been having to adjust the roller for the...

Have a 55" royal soverign laminator, bought new in 2010. Backup laminator now but we still use it to mount prints to substrates and transfer tape to cut graphics. It hasn't been feeding right for a while and finally got to the point it was unusable as it would get folded creases in graphics as...

Looking for recommendations on transfer tape that sticks to air release liners. You know for when you do print/cut graphics on air release and the tape not sticking to the liner causes all sorts of problems. We've been using R-Tape conform 4075 rla for about 10 years. While it never really...

Not looking to make aluminum ones, we've done .024" alum in the past, works great, but client isn't interested. They want thin flexible poster like signs, I'm thinking a rigid pvc film? Has anybody used this stuff before, ? Will it be good for outdoor use 3-5 year? Anybody have any...

Looking for best method for cutting aluminum signs. Currently we use a stomp shear, corner rounders and hole punch. But we are getting into higher volumes and our current process is labor intensive. For reference we can finish (1,000) 10x7 signs (mount vinyl / shear aluminum / punch holes /...

Looking for a font similar to this one attached here, where the S has flat or straight tops and bottoms. Doesn't have to be oblique but maybe a little thinner stroke. Anybody have any ideas?

Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Understandably their supply chain of brokers makes this hard for them to wrangle but WTF, take care of your own in a time of crisis. Thoughts?

We've had an s80600 for about 8 months now, great machine. Because of mainly reading on here about poor durability of R and O ink outdoors, we use an outdoor profile that omits R and O ink. I'm wondering how many shops do this, and how many shops use R/O for outdoor. And how have the R and O...

Trying to dial in the flex cutting on our summa s2 t160. We are wanting to do larger runs of die cut stickers. Mostly smaller decals, 4"x3" on average rectangles with rounded corners, about .125" radius. We have no problem flex cutting these decals if the rectangle shapes have square corners...

Coca cola red, what are you all using for input colors to get your best deep red like coca cola red? Having trouble hitting this on our s80 without using red ink (we don't yet trust R or O ink for outdoor applications). Can't get that deep red look. Also curious what others have found to...

Anybody know this one. I know I have this but brain not working today. Thanks,

Lately we've been doing a lot more higher volume jobs. Small signs and stickers. For example 8"x4"" 040 aluminum warning signs, and 6"x4" warning or notice stickers. Currently we only have roll to roll printers (roland and epson s80) plotters, laminators. The stickers are straight forward...
