We just received some Avery Interstate Blue the other day, that we ordered over 6 months ago.
If your suppliers don't have it, find another brand that is very close or you're going to be waiting a while.
Talk with Trigon Imaging for a deal on the equipment you're looking for and excellent customer service. Tell them Jason @ Crux told you to call.
Personally, I love our new Graphtec FC9000, but we do not cut out "perf cut" decals, all of ours stay on the roll.
I would also recommend the S60600...
No, I only have the older stuff at my house unfortunately.
We still mostly run that here at the shop also, we have an Envision 375 here too, but run the HS15+s WAY more.
Yes, I know I have at least one working HS15+ but I believe it needs a new drum, I might be able to snatch one off of another plotter though... I will have to make a spreadsheet of my inventory next week.
We made a dry erase board for our router bits and settings. This way as we improve our cuts and try new/better bits we have a "best" setting/bit to use for each material.
I have a TON of Gerber Edge foils. I've purchased inventory from a few defunct sign shops and was going to get my equipment set up to do some work at home, but really don't have any spare time to do that. Now I need to get rid of my inventory...
My question is how to price them, and where to...
We found a supplier of magnetic porcelain coated "magnetic" whiteboards and will be applying print/cut graphics now since we discussed exactly what the customer wanted to do with their "whiteboard".
I have a customer looking for a whiteboard that they can use magnets on. (I know the board itself isn't magnetic)
6' wide x 4' high MAX, Custom printed.
Is this something I can order easily? Can I print here and apply it to a standard "magnetic" whiteboard, or does it need to be flatbed/direct...
I recommend the GFP line of laminators we have 3 now and would never switch again. We used to have GBC and Seal and they broke, these GFP just keep on trucking.
Our favorites are the GFP563th, but the base model is fine also and not all that different.
We did this for a similar project, but it is indoors.

For your project I would fabricate everything out of Aluminum.
We have the E-2 Evolution 104" and use it to cut all kinds of substrates here, even polymetal and thick PVC sheeting. We bought it in 2015 and haven't had any issues. We did buy the cutting head that takes standard trapezoid blades though, as the one that comes with it uses more expensive...
It seemed to help my computer somewhat, but it had good & bad days before this....
The other computer running the exact same setup is still lagging a lot with no change, so it might not have helped.
Also, there are SOME files on your local computer that are. prm files that you do not want to...
Do you have an example of the flex led you're looking for?
With LED lighting we normally use SuperBrightLEDs.com or NeonEngineering.com for products.
Grimco also has some nice power supplies, but their selection otherwise is mainly for cabinet signs.
We've had the ambient temperature hotter than what is set in the control panel for heating, and a Mimaki printer be upset that the temperature is too hot. Normally it would let you just proceed after confirmation but we would have to increase the heater settings to make it auto-start printing...
I just deleted 15,000 .PRM files spanning the last 29 years! We keep everything on a server so the files aren't local.
I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've imported an image into Omega so I'm betting it isn't that.
I'll report back if the mass-deletion helps!
