  1. 3M Fasara film question

    I was just wondering if this stuff is actually vinyl or is it more like a tint film. Seems very rigid like polyester. For application is a regular solution of soap and water for vinyl OK or do you need a solution that would be used for Tint ( more soap)?
  2. do you think a 2ml 3m vinyl would hold up on a mug with dishwasher cleanings?

    do you think a 2ml 3m vinyl would hold up on a mug with dishwasher cleanings? Not a wrap, but individual bold rounded copy I do get some zany requests... I figure it would do OK in a residential dishwasher, but have never experimented.

    OK I have 2 actually 1) I have a supplier that offers a wide range of all the gizmos and liquids that many large suppliers do not carry. They have so many items I sometimes order them just to see what they are all about. Back in February I needed to order something but it was a small...
  5. could you apply a 2ml vinyl to a wall graphic film?

    I only ask as a client is requesting a digital print involving a real silver look, and the only way I think I can accomplish this is to print on a 3M 2ml silver. The client also wants the graphic to be removable as it will be put on drywall. I figured maybe I could print on the silver then...
  6. My Gerber Edge LE is in a beeping mood lately

  9. How do I know if the colour is printing correctly if I am only given cmyk values?

    This question has probably been asked many times, but I know that when I plug in cmyk values given for jobs, that the colours in a lot of cases could print a lot better if I knew the pantone colour and matched it myself off of the pantone charts we have charts we have. So I ask this question...
  10. need some help with old computer

    I run my Gerber Edge off of an old computer running....now don't laugh too hard.... it runs on win2000. The issue started last week when the computer went totally dead. I figured if nothing is working then the power supply is the problem. I had an old spare at home and brought it in hooked it...
  11. Why do designers really not understand us sign people?

    I don't know about you, but I feel like I waste so much time trying to explain to designers that I don't need each piece of a job in a separate file and then they do just that. Case in point... I quote a job of individual graphics for a company that will be placed in different offices. A...

  13. the laziness of customers and their expectations

    I picked up a new customer recently that is in the decal business. They do however get calls for cut vinyl and for some reason, even though they have the equipment to do this, they don't want to and send it to me and they resell it. I love doing this kind of work as files are provided and the...

  17. Near disaster averted

    Started a print job and was sitting at my comp about 6 feet away. I bought these little tools that can only be described as dentist tools, although they are not of the same quality at $7 . In any case I use them to remove caked up ink or any other number of things around the printer and...

  19. not an issue but an observation about a supplier

    I have saved empty cores for years and with one certain supplier they like when I give them back to them to recycle and use again. It saves them a small pitance and I don't have to throw them into a garbage container and out to a landfill. I can only guess that over the years I have probably...
