  3. not an issue but an observation about a supplier

    I have saved empty cores for years and with one certain supplier they like when I give them back to them to recycle and use again. It saves them a small pitance and I don't have to throw them into a garbage container and out to a landfill. I can only guess that over the years I have probably...

  7. Application tape rant lol

    so 1) yes to pre mask that has been damaged on the ends, or cut too fast with the baloney slicer..... pack it up and send it back to the supplier. Let them unload it on some walk in end user. 2) 3m masking tape can be a real pain too. Sometimes the cellophane wrap around it gets stuck...

  9. Weeding after laminating issue

    I have found with my Summa cutter that weeding from different angles can improve the process. I find that laminated square or round cut decals at times depending on the laminate can be a real pain (especially the small stuff), so once I see the issue I stop and rotate the sheet and try going...
  10. many files coming in from designers have duplicate cutlines

    I don't generally convert cutting to paths before cutting, but will try if it helps
  11. many files coming in from designers have duplicate cutlines

    I am not sure if it is illustrator that causes this, but I am receiving far too many files for vinyl cutting that have a double cut line somewhere in the graphic. Either in the conversion or possibly the designer putting a keyline around an existing shape with no thickness. Drives me crazy...
  12. Recycling Your Waste

    I keep all the large cardboard boxes vinyl and laminate come in and try to send it back out as packaging. When it builds up I then cut them down and drive about a mile from here to a municipal recycling centre. I save all my cores and one of my suppliers takes them back to reuse. I will...

    I am trying to install some ttf fonts and when I go to the install fonts window, if I only have true type selected the search area greys out.... I put the fonts in a directory called fonts on my C drive, but maybe they need to reside in the windows font area? not sure and don't want to try...

  15. Best 3ml laminate I have found so far

    well lucky for you.... Silvering makes the reader have difficulty detecting the Mimaki marks. Maybe I have a crappy cutter, but who cares, this lam is great and looks far superior to any of the others I have tried over an 8 year period
  16. Best 3ml laminate I have found so far

    I picked up a roll of this 3ml gloss laminate from Western Rim ( supplier in Canada) and I am truly amazed with it. They call it Signmax and I am not sure if it is rebranded, but I am so happy I found it... First off, it goes down great and has the same sort of look as a 2ml 3M gloss... very...
  17. Just gotta rant...

    So if he can get a cheap price from the town low baller, why does he waste his time coming to you? I get this all the time too...I just give them a price and when they say it's too much, I say goodbye
  18. will Printed Matte vinyl....laminate ok?

    matte prints the best and if you want gloss, laminate it...so much better than stocking so many different rolls
  19. removing old vinyl from backlit panels

    Steamer works best with a plastic blade... glue remover a must!!! If there is residual ghosting you could always slap a layer of white translucent over the area you are working in.
  20. Throwback Thursday Font Question - Gerber Helvetica Medium

    I remember when I used to outsource some cutting to a company that had 3 or 4 gerbers and tons of fonts... My mouth was watering when I saw that Super Sprint and how fast it cut. The 4b, as great an invention that it was took forever to do something like a zoning sign. Still faster than hand...
