  1. how does this happen?

    I get a file from some arrogant designer who was trying to educate me on colour by referencing an oracal colour chart to tell me the colour they want for this pick up truck. On top of that it was a 651 vinyl and naturally I am not putting that garbage on a truck so I switched to 3m although I...
  2. vector file imports as a bitmap?

    I am trying to open an eps file from Corel. Everything in the file is vectored except these 4 lines of copy which is the same font as the rest of the signage. These 4 lines keep coming in as a bitmap. Not the type I am used to seeing though. each letter is made up of 1 or 5 pieces so if you...
  3. seperate contour cut results in no cuts being sent?

    Flexi is such an odd program in many respects..... Once you put a contour cut on a graphic the only way you can make changes to any part of that graphic is to seperate the contour cut. Once you have done that and made the change ( colour in this instance) you marquee everything and rip and...
  4. what kind of car wash is recommended for a wrap?

    I had 3 vehicles partially wrapped using the 3M 1080 dark red. I received a phone call that after going through a "no touch" car wash there seems to be one area of vinyl lifting on one of the vehicles. I know that no touch car washes use acid and high pressure water so I am not sure if that is...
  5. finally changed the blade in my Summa

    5 years..... wow!!! Well today it finally died. My plotter works off of a strictly print and cut software and I cant simply cut with it which means it has basically only been used to die cut digital prints for the last 5 years. Now I know what I go through with my Graphtec when...

  7. 3M Electrocut - this stuff is fantastic!!!

    I fluked into finding out about this vinyl when another shop lent me some sandstone. I was cutting a ton of pretty small letters upper and lower case for a rental car agency and the weeding, using traditional paper backed 2ml 3M was almost untolerable. This vinyl can be cut with more...

    I recieved a pdf file from a client and they needed 21 small signs.

The...

    Maxi the Corgi goes ape chit over the compressed air stations. I have 2 in the shop. One in the back for blowing crap off the panel saw and one upstairs by my Edge to keep the dust at bay. No matter where the dog is, if he hears the air, he is like their within seconds ready to attack the...
