  1. Vantablack

    This stuff is pretty damn cool, absorbs like 99.9% light and made with carbon nanotubes. They made it into a sprayable paint, I wonder if 3M and friends have been in talks with them to one day bring it to the vinyl world. I could only imagine the cost though...
  2. LOGO SITE ( like Brands of the World)

    You can just add "filetype: pdf" after your search in the standard search bar. IE: Company Name filetype: pdf Edit: without the space between the : and the p, the forum turns it into a smiley.
  3. Scissor Lift in Car Dealership showroom tile breaking

    In the arena we do work in, they lay plywood under where the lift is going to spread out the weight and not damage the court.
  4. Q: How would you do it?

    I would screw an outdoor snap frame to it and give them laminated paper posters or vinyl on styrene to put inside. Find one at the size you're looking for and design the sign to incorporate it. Edit: Unless it's a very large area that needs to be changed out. Edit2: There are also banner...
  5. grainy yard signs

    It's usually the only part they actually care about. Went back and forth on some letterheads with a realtor one time for a couple months because they wanted the photo to be perfect. Went to print and there was multiple typos they never noticed because they were always staring at their picture...
  6. grainy yard signs

    We always explain to our customers that quality will have to be sacrificed beforehand to meet a super tight deadline on a large order and then it's up to them what they want to do, you'll often find they're happy with maybe a half order for the day and the rest a few days later. These vendors...
  7. Googles Image search has changed image size option !?!?

    That's strange, are you signed into a google account? Could be something in your settings or maybe clear your cookies. You could use https://www.google.ca/advanced_image_search for the time being.
  8. Googles Image search has changed image size option !?!?

    You can still search by megapixels and custom resolution. I don't think I've ever seen a filter for file size on it.
  9. Speed up wrap installation

    I've heard of 2 guys banging out 2+ buses in a day, doing 90% of them with a roller and torch. Mind you the quality of the bus wraps around here isn't great but it works for how often they get changed.
  10. What vinyl and laminate film can you suggest to use on a latex printer?

    We use 3M 180 + 8518. Though after installing some provided graphics, I'm gonna give Avery a go soon.
  11. Need Help HP L360 - Print Wheels or Pinch Rollers

    I've only replaced 1 after 5 years lol. If you have a good relationship with your tech, you might be able to get him to send you some. Mine sent me about a dozen after I asked him about them, without saying I need them, no charge.
  12. where can i find the text for this forklift safety sticker

    Google cheat sheet is what you want to find, there's all kinds of search tools that most people don't know about.
  13. where can i find the text for this forklift safety sticker

    Exact doesn't seem to exist, this one is close: https://www.lakesgasco.com/images/pdfs/forklift-changeout-guidelines.pdf
  14. Clear Vinyl for Outdoor Lightbox

    I've only ever seen this type of thing on the very first backlit sign I did, and it was because I didn't clean it well enough. We do clear Oracal 3651 on white poly/acrylic all the time. I can only think this would be caused by dirt or a small bubble that grows over time. Are you applying wet or...
  15. Need Help Need help HP 360 Latex first connexion PC not working

    I think if you're not going through a switch you need a crossover cable for direct connection.
  16. What is This?

    Frosted polypro?
  17. Canvas Print Supplier that can ship to Canada?

    You could just go straight to a Canadian supplier and skip the border entirely. There are a couple, I think Canvas Champ will do wholesale pricing you just have to contact them. I can't recommend any personally, we do ours in house and for some reason the bars are pricey up here.
  18. HP 360 Yellow / Magenta issues

    I'm pretty sure the cable is sold as a unit which includes all the flex cables and the top carriage cover they're attached to. It's part # B4H70-67018. We get our parts from Grimco.
  19. HP 360 skew after firmware update.

    How many mils is it saying? There's a setting that sets the threshold for the printer to warn you about. I keep mine at the minimum (I think it's 39) but you can increase it so it doesn't pop up as frequently. I believe it's on the first screen when you first start loading a roll at the top...
  20. Vending machines

    I did an ice cream freezer, the short wide ones you see in corner stores usually have a big nestle logo on it, with IJ180 about 2 years ago. The customer takes it to catering events so it gets some wear from the constant movement but it's still holding up strong.
