    This is driving me crazy...I seem to be getting these fine razor blade type cuts on the top of my thumbs for the past 5 or 6 weeks. I know it is coming from alumapanel. I never catch it happening and only discover it a short while later. They are like paper cuts but because they are on the...

  6. I see the bitmap, but after 6 tries the printer will not print it.

    That title is not entirely accurate. here is the issue. I have a bitmap that has some rough edges and I made a cutline to cut off the areas I don't want after printing. That will print fine, but the other part of this job is a decal on white. I figured if I left the cutline in there and...

  10. Not seen a decal do this before...any thoughts?

    I printed these and applied them about 6 months ago. They were applied to wood doors that were painted. What I find interesting in the photo is that the edges seem OK but the main body of the decal has tunneled. They were printed on a General Formulation premium calendered, I think 203 and I...
  11. Want to print on comply on the Edge

    I have to print this graphic for a guy's Harley gas tank and he wants shiny gold. With the contours of the tank I figure it will be a lot easier to apply with a comply vinyl. I know I can tape a piece of comply to a 15" punched vinyl. but wondered if there are other easier methods to do this?
  12. what is a good method of removing that rubber adhesive behind vehicle name plates

    I just removed Silverado off the side of a pick up and that thick black rubbery adhesive is left behind. I have tried the vinyl zapper, and although it sort of works it spreads the stuff around without actually removing it. Any other methods tried and true that work? I also removed the large...

  15. Applying graphics printed on clear reverse on glass question

    I have known about this pretty much since being in this business but have never really got a straight forward answer. We printed about 30 odd panels on clear in reverse and then laminated white behind them to be applied to a series of glass panels for a hospital. We used rapid tack to apply...

    A customer calling me to ask if I did such a thing for his daughters wedding. . I asked how large he wants it and he said 27' x 52' I told him for 1 event this would cost a pretty penny. I basically gave him the number of a wholesaler I use as I want no part of this. What do you...

    I have no idea what's going on here today. I printed quite a bit yesterday with no issues. This morning I am printing a very simple 2 color job. Grey and medium blue. I always like using the pantone 430 off my color chart that I printed years ago. Start printing and hit the brakes when I...

    Only had the cutter for 8 years.... So if I am cutting a job and need to make adjustments to the blade how does one pause the cutter? Just put a new blade in and run this cutter exclusively from Flexi for cutting printed matter...In fact the software that runs it will only cut printed matter...
