  1. Ugh....WHY!?!?!

    I just called my Grimco rep to ask if they've changed the way they make blanks. She was not aware of any change. She did suggest it might mean they came from a different manufacturing plant. They have two, one in Owensville, MO, which is where my product always comes from. They are the original...
  2. Graphtec 8600 - drawing pen with new paper type

    If the problem only occurs over long lengths it would seem to involve the paper slipping side to side as it goes through the plotter. This can happen from the rollers not having enough friction with the paper surface, or with the paper stiffness causing it to kink as it lands in the basket. If...
  3. Suggestions Permanent decal on rubber floor basketball court

    Check with the manufacturer of the flooring. If it's something like Connor XT, putting the wrong things will void the floor warranty. That type of flooring only allows marking with a two part polyurethane floor marking paint (the stuff they paint the stripes and lane with). You even have to use...
  4. Economical printer, to print on engineer grade, reflective adhesive label material

    If you want the decals to last more than 2-3 years or to be able to survive abrasion, then you do need to laminate them for outdoor use after printing. The printers that print onto sign vinyl are all going to require shipping via common carrier or private carrier. They cannot be UPSed. If you...
  5. Graphtec 8600 - drawing pen with new paper type

    What drawing error are you seeing? How thick is the paper? I can't imagine a paper thick enough to be the cause of a problem in drawing.
  6. Need Help American Flag vector file

    Took me about 8 seconds to find this by doing exactly what I said: https://www.countryflags.com/united-states-flag-vector/
  7. Need Help American Flag vector file

    Did you try typing "American flag vector clipart" into a Google search?
  8. Question Multi-Layered Printing?

    Do it with two pieces of vinyl. Print the first image on clear vinyl. Print the second on white vinyl which is white on the back. Install the clear vinyl on glass, then install the white vinyl over it.
  9. Question Multi-Layered Printing?

    I don't think this will work on the Epson. Even if you get it to print it, you will see the reverse image through the white. It's not opaque.
  10. Need Help Translucent Vinyl Turning Black

    Agree. That's as long as a printed graphic will last. Many don't even go 7 years.
  11. Need Help Digital Print Rip programs

    Why do you need to replace Onyx 10? It still works.
  12. Need Help Epson s70 dual head alignment

    And doesn't know how to use it. So what good is it? That's what service technicians are for.
  13. Alternatives to backlit panel?

    Take it down and put up a shorter smaller sign. Maybe a ground level sign. That's what cities all want everyone to do anyway, isn't it?
  14. Need Help Epson s70 dual head alignment

    Head alignment isn't available on the control panel menus. As far as I know you'll have to call Epson to have them send a Decision One tech out to do that.
  15. Need Help 2015-2020 Ram Promaster City Emblems

    Invest in a box of ZipLoc bags (generic is OK) and instruct your installers to put badges in the bag, zip it shut, and leave the badges in the car. Always.
  16. Need Help Is it possible to put clearcoat on vinyl?

    The real answer is to remove the vinyl, fix the gold so that it actually sticks to the wall, and then reletter. You could use low tack application tape if you were concerned about a repeat. But the real issue is that their gold paint didn't stick to the wall.

  18. Cement Truck Vinyl Type and Pricing

    You gotta charge way more than twice the vinyl cost. You have to include cutting, weeding, application tape, mistakes...
  19. Perforate Windows

    First add up the cost of materials and printing and shop time. Then the cost of installation time, including washing the windows and mullions and then recleaning them. Then add what you think is your margin.
  20. Cement Truck Vinyl Type and Pricing

    Printing and cutting is a dumb way to put cut lettering on a truck, unless there is something absolutely necessary like gradient colors or photos in the logo. There are two types of cut-vinyl that you can consider for lettering a job like this. The best is a cast vinyl, which will give a 7-9...
