  1. tracing pen?

    This sounds more like a job for knifeless tape and/or the tape that is made for you to cut on with a knife. Put the tape down and lay the vinyl over it with extra. Pull the knifeless tape or hand-draw it over the cutting tape and it is done. You could also use a low tack mask and apply it over...
  2. How many continuous hours of printing?

    The Espon printers here run full rolls all day every day without issue. We always run a head check at the beginning of every roll and if it's good to go we send it.
  3. Permanent Carpet Vinyl(?)

    I was almost thinking of something like a gigantic heat pressed vinyl piece, but no idea on anything "real".
  4. Hammertone finish

    Cast vinyl, properly outgassed before lamination, and lots of post heating and pressure should stay fine, but there are also vinyls made specifically for "low energy surfaces" that might stick even better.
  5. Vinyl for temporary vehicle decals

    Magnets can cause more damage to a vehicle's surface than vinyl will. Plus, magnets cost you and them more to make, so you have to charge them more for an inferior product.
  6. Vinyl for temporary vehicle decals

    Any regular wrap vinyl would work and be decently easy to remove without leaving any adhesive. The proper material for the job would be a vinyl like 3M UltraRemoveable or Gerber InstaChange, as removal is very easy by the customer and guarantees no adhesive residue, but buying a roll just for a...
  7. Permanent Carpet Vinyl(?)

    Anyone? Any alternative solutions you can think of?
  8. Cutting Tactile Letters

    Might be the incorrect bit for the job? I haven't done that material in years but IIRC we used a different V bit than usual... but it cut the little letters fine then. I also remember using certain fonts and ADA settings...
  9. Discussion New machine or repair old

    Heads strikes on vinyl should not be able to cause permanent head damage after just a few swipes. Sure, it can cause clogged nozzles but usually it takes the head hitting an edge clamp or something in the capping station to cause significant permanent damage. Look at the travel path of your...
  10. Prepasted wallpaper

    When we had a latex printer (5+ years ago now) there was a material exactly like you're describing for latex machines only. I have no idea what it was called anymore but it was pretty nice.
  11. Photo megapixel help

    Just because file sizes are larger, doesn't mean the photos are of a higher quality or clearer. There are a lot of variables in photography, and also just between "cameras". When it comes to lenses, depth of field, etc there are even more variables. FWIW, phones, etc are not meant to be quality...
  12. Epson 80600 pressure Roller Assembly Kit part#

    Compass Micro should be able to send you the parts diagram so you can order the correct part.
  13. Right/Wrong Ethical/Unethical

    Since 3M stopped making perf for the rest of this year (from what I'm told) they are spec'ing "unobtainium". Get the best quality 60/40 you can buy, and it'll be a comparable warranty to 3Ms vinyl and roll with it.
  14. Permanent Carpet Vinyl(?)

    Is there any type of printed material that can be applied onto carpet as a "permanent" solution? Something that might last a while (years, lol) with high traffic? Carpet is already down in this space, or I thought maybe it could be printed itself?
  15. Photo megapixel help

    Also, if the photos are "maybe ok" quality, get Gigapixel AI and run them through that and then they'll be "acceptable" quality. FWIW, it only works well on images that have NOT YET been resized by any other programs. So, if someone already used PS to resize the results aren't as good as...
  16. Stuck on a setup step w/ brand new Gfp laminator

    I replied to your other thread, this is (new) operator error I believe. ;) Heck, ours like this has been here a year or so and I never even realized it was like this as I've never used it; I've only ever used the 563th models.
  17. Looking for laminator recommendation

    If that's the same one we use a masking machine I just asked and looked and only one "end" of the machines is keyed and the other end is not keyed. The rolls have the matching tab at either end so they can load either way. Put the roll tab into the keyed end and then put it into the non-keyed...
  18. Free Stuff For Y'all

    I thank greatly every one. Arguing here is accomplished.
  19. Free Stuff For Y'all

    I like iStock and Adobe for stock images, but without Gigapixel AI also incorporated into that we'd have a lot more issues sourcing imagery for larger prints. Heck, I also use Vecteezy a lot for simple vector art and pieces that I incorporate into designs. I use PVO for most templates; I just...
