Both my daughters are nurses. If you saw what gear they have on to deal with covid victims you would know the masks the public wears are useless. I wear one just so I don't have to tell all the Karens out there to mind there own damn business. One of my daughters has not taken the vaccine. We...

When I used a daige in the past I always used a sled under entire piece I was running. Usually a sheet of thin pvc. Never used it for taping just laminating or mounting prints to solid substrate, lots of coro. Key was a good seam of tape at front edge to assure it started nice and flat. Made...

Heat's not going to fix lack of tension. If it is not an adjustable frame setup for flex face you will have to remove screws and re-tension. And pray. Proper way is to use one mount in middle of all 4 sides and tension to 4 corners.

All I did was copy and paste photo into signlab and then use th eyedropper tool to give me rgb values. I have found for me at least in the past that working in rgb instead of cmyk is much more on point.

Just get a tabletop guillotine paper cutter and set a stop. You should be able to fly thru them quickly once you get going.

If you cheap out on that many pieces it will bite you in the a** if you have to do it again. I would be worried about shrinkage using cheap material and lam. Nothing like a call 3 or 4 months down the road telling you all these pieces are shrinking and the customer wanting them replaced.

Try rgb instead of cmyk. 206,150,1 might be close enough to get a running start at it.

I've done quite a bit of 10 mil with print applied. I cover with transfer tape to avoid damaging print and knock it out with a jigsaw and fine blade. A cutawl would be great too. I use a sanding block to quickly knock burrs off and peel tape. If you are not doing a lot of this kind of work jig...

I did a ton of dot work many years ago. All hard signs were coated in reflective. All 3m. All screen printed. By spec. Outlasted and outperformed anything else at the time. Before anyone even heard of digital printers in any size shop. For short orders we would use vinyl graphic but not very...

Thinking about getting a small laser for the shop so I can make labels for my distillery from leather. Of course it would be nice to add some products to our offerings for sign shop customers as well. What does everyone have or recommend and whose product should I avoid? Thanks

Just thought it was strange. Stranger yet the 50 bucks I saved for same two products from my normally secondary vendor. Hmmmmm

I go through a fair amount of basic colors in oracal 651 for general stuff, nothing fancy. Last two times I have needed a roll of black, none in stock anywhere. So much for being the world's largest wrap provider. No problem with another vendor, in stock. Just kind of surprises me.

Same thing we've been doing for 36 years. Nothing to see here.

Never really like them. My tables are covered in galvanized pans. 21 years old and still working like a champ. They have been painted on, cut on, hammered on, glued on, everything I can build indoors has been on these tables. Magnet sticks to it making holding things down or working on magnetic...

Static cling leaves no glue residue at all ;-)

Which is why I no longer own a big printer.

I have a friend that tints and I send work his way. He is strictly a 3m shop as he does State Trooper vehicles by contract has to be 3m. I don't see why if you wanted to you couldn't you tube, practice on your own windows and go for it. Most all films are plotter cut from subscription vehicle...

Can't see far side from pics but guessing it mounts from both sides. Most likely cabinet will have to come down to be serviced. Cut wires tell me it has been brought down in past with no intention of relamping once face work was done and reinstalled..

welcome

I have zero issues with vector, bitmap, fills etc in signlab. Just saying. I have worked with flexi and between the two, for me at least, there is no comparison to ease of use.
