  1. What Do You Do To Mask The Smell Of A Stinky Customer

    I have had a few over the years.... I would overprice everything for him to get rid of him...if he stays than I get paid for having to smell him. There was a guy in here last week who was with the designer for over an hour. I have noticed something with this guy before...it was coming from his...
  2. Grimco Canada phone lines out of service

    Tried calling Grimco in Toronto this morning and I get a taped messagae that the number is out of service. Tried the 1 800 number and the same. Then tried calling Montreal... The same. Next tried Dartmouth and it actually rang, but no one answered. These guys going out of business? wtf?
  3. How do I cut Max Metal?

    Not trying to thread hijack, but curious about all these different composite aluminum suppliers. Some have a 10 year warranty others have a 5 year...Max Metal I have no idea but because it is cheap I have my suspicions. But more out of curiousity has anyone ever seen this stuff fail? What...
  4. Jet best vs Bordeaux

    I run Jet Best n my Mimaki and have found them to be much better than OEM in that I never ever get banding anymore and the ink is much more scuff resistant. The price is about half the cost of OEM.

  6. zippy cutters

    I think these little cutters are remarkable. simple idea that really comes in handy for cutting away backing paper. The only flaw with the device is that the blades can get dull and then suddenly in the middle of holding a rather large piece of vinyl , the cutter refuses to cut and instead just...
  7. What material would be best?

    I'm with Gino on this...I remember the question about 6 months ago too. I'm not sure why Gino got all fired up...I figure the OP does not know how to search through his own threads
  8. separate contour cut question

    The job was actually not big at all..maybe 50" x 30" with about 25 logos on the page. the cut is a simple oval. I always set up in Signlab and send across as I am much faster using that software. I forgot to mention something else and that was that on some of the lettering on the logo it had...
  9. separate contour cut question

    I had a job where the client wanted the same logo in different sizes and different colour combinations. After setting up the file in Signlab, I exported to Flexi and set up a contour cut and everything for one logo. I then arranged all the different sizes, so I could print once for each colour...
  10. Been In The Business For 15 Years. Anyone Else Having Shoulder Pain?

    I have noticed a slight soreness in my right shoulder this winter and attribute it to squeegeeing premask and applying vinyl......but I blame Bowling once a week for most of it.
  11. gradient colour choice in Flexi

    ahhh OK I reloaded that pallet and now the colour is showing up...it asked before it opened if I wanted to reset the current version I did have and I responded yes. Maybe because I wanted to see the cmyk values of that spot colour it changed it, even though I edit undid it, it must still hold...
  12. gradient colour choice in Flexi

    OK so how is the colour on the bottom pallet for selecting the colour shape but absent from the gradient selection. I will try and reset it, but just makes no sense. I had to print the job using the closest I could find, which makes me very disapointed
  13. gradient colour choice in Flexi

    I guess i can but when I change the colour to cmyk it never prints the same..... I thought for a moment, maybe because I have the shape in that colour it is somewhere else on the chart...maybe at the beginning or at the end, but no it just does not exist which makes absolutely no sense to me
  14. gradient colour choice in Flexi

    I am trying to create a gradient to match a specific vinyl that is being cut and applied to a sign.. I found a great colour match by printing 720 x 1440 pantone 2728c, which I found in my colour bar at the bottom of my screen. Now when I go in and try to create the gradient I hit the advanced...

    You mean there is better stuff than 3m 280 reflective? NOT!!! For me 3M costs more but the processing time is so much faster....always weeds great...worth every cent

    If I had ordered a 50 yard roll maybe I put up with a splice...but seven yards? and the splice was at the 27" mark from the front of the roll? I assumed I had extra material at the end, but NO!! Good thing I had a couple yards in stock.... Reflective is one of the priciest vinyls around so...

    I ordered 7 yards of 15" reflective yellow vinyl to be run on my Edge. I just loaded it and within the first 30", I find this!! I can only hope they calculated the 7 yards after the seam.
  19. Why is my laminate buckling?

    when you say buckling are you talking about tunneling?
  20. Opinion What would you say...?

    Guys who do nothing but broker everything can be a little dangerous when it comes to getting paid, as they often owe everybody, but like to pay themselves first...COD all the way
