  3. summa opus reader question

    Well I got the little bastage working again...seems a heat gun over that first registration mark, makes my OPUS see a little better. I have run all my jobs through now and the moment I have a problem with that first registration mark I hit it with heat and low and behold it starts to do it's...
  4. Pre-mask recommendation

    you need to use high tac pre mask with 7725. I always found with 7725 coloured vinyl that the best way to remove the graphics from the backing synthetic liner was to flip them upside down and peel back the backer from the premask. With frosted vinyl I don't think you can really do that when it...

  12. Illustrator question on opening eps files

    Hold on guys..... My Signlab 8 opened the file OK...There was just something in the logo portion that may have had masking that I had trouble with. The fonts all came out just right, but not as fonts , but as a graphic. I mean I have been importing eps files for over 25 years and never once did...
  13. Illustrator question on opening eps files

    I was sent an eps file from a customer. I imported it into Signlab and found that there was some stroke data that was giving me trouble so I emailed the eps to my designer and when he was opening it in illustrator he casually made a comment that the font was hilighted in pink and that he would...
  14. Applying graphics to 4x8 sheet by ones self

  15. How small can you get?

    3M 7725 vinyl on the synthetic liner and a fairly new blade. I have to do key drop boxes for a very large car rental company and they insist on cut vinyl. Helvetica medium upper and lower case at .35" Using paper backed vinyl was near impossible but the 3M 7725 makes it a breeze.

  17. Signs365 Switched To 15oz Vinyl Banner, Signs Falling?

    I was forced to move to a low end banner stand for a very good client. We used to use the Orbus Orient with never any issues. They had received a very low quote from a competitor and I realized that the stand was a cheap POS. I pleaded with them that it was a mistake to move to this type of...
