Slivering is pretty common with UV, we run a heat assist laminator and if you slow down the speed and put the heat at around 40 Celsius it goes away completely. usually particularly noticeable with Matt laminate.

My gf just realised I’m working from home tomorrow and asked me to clean the house. So tomorrow I’m going to have to get up, get ready for work, drive out the street then park somewhere and sit on my phone for 6-8 hours.

I seen the nozzle check in the other post now, I wouldn’t quite call that perfect! Are those persistent nozzles out? Had any head strikes?

we have two 3m tables that can be butted up if need be, so approx 20’. It’s not a massive issue now as anything that length goes right into the XY cutter. So it’s only really hemming banners that needs the tables moved sometimes now. Cutting them isn’t the issue. We get a lot of repeat orders...

Have you ever been able to? Could it be a profile issue?

I always advise making at least one giant table that’s the length as the longest thing you want to produce. Nothing more annoying than making a 24’ banner on an 8’ table.

Things will definitely change; if the work from home thing goes well for companies that’ll free up a lot of money from rented floor space etc if they eventually decide that’s a full time viable option. I can definitely see a future where all the people you’re assuming are in a call centre are...

We are a small part of a larger company, the larger company provides a critical role or whatever and we supply them with things they need to operate. Such as signage. So we’re being kept open even through a lockdown; albeit with skeleton staff. we also do a lot of work for the national health...

The biggest problem with COVID-19 is the growth rate and the incubation period. On average someone with the flu spreads it to around 1.3-1.4 people (so an adult and a small person lol). So if I get the flu, and pass it on, then they pass it on - we’ll say up to 10 times. I’ve been responsible...

With that budget I’d say no. You’re going to want to get yourself a print and cut machine like a mimaki CJV. Assuming you’re low on floor space so a print and cut machine in one saves space. isn’t that oce machine for CAD drawings?

Average salary in the UK is 30k, you don’t pay national insurance on about the first 10k, and don’t pay any taxes on the first 10k (ish, haven’t checked recently. National insurance is only 12% so that’s around £2400 a year. Which is what? A single ambulance trip if you’re uninsured?

Honestly they’re not that high if I might get the coronavirus and not need to pay a penny. Hell, I could get a brain tumour and I’m not gonna have to pay any extra. Then if I have said tumour and have no income, I can still get treated without leaving my family in mountains of debt. Pretty...

If I take my socks off too sometimes I can get to 20

one of the guys from a shop we took over is an old school sign painter. Seems to still be stuck in the 80’s though because he does NOT like change. Still uses software licensed in 98 and we just leave him to it. He’ll retire soon and we get to put all his stuff in a museum.

It made the news in the UK that a lady got charged around 35k in the USA for just testing and treatments - with a hospital stay. Granted it said she had no insurance. But that’s crazy! A lot of people are going to get in a fair amount of debt due to a pandemic and a few people are gonna get...

We do so many schools with the times tables going up their stairs. Luckily there aren’t many stairs in schools because anything after 10 steps and I’d be screwed

Our Colorado’s prints are pretty stinky. Luckily 95% of the stuff we do is laminated so that deals with that. I did make a 60” x 40” canvas that was smelly upon putting my face up at it, but it was only smelly for ~1 week. We do have quite a large space though. are you certain everything is...

That’s what’s confused me; it’s literally a step by step process. What’s the difference between a profile I’ve made and a profile we get an “expert” in to make? - what do they do differently that I’ll not be doing myself with a million patches and my i1? Lol

that’s what I wasn’t sure about, so in theory once I’ve made an icc profile for a media, at say high quality, do I then need to create a new icc for production or use the same ICC then calibrate and set the ink limits (lazy way)

Texas has played a blinder here. While the forum will now fill up with people asking how to put their printer to sleep for a month or six. He can go back to business as usual right away whenever the world goes back to normal without worry of getting his nozzle checks back etc
