  1. Efficiency and equipment upgrades

    Get a GFP563th. One of the best upgrades we've made here at our shop from our old Seal and GBC laminators (we have a couple of them now). Easy, dependable lamination. We just recently purchased a Graphtec FC8000, but the jury is still out on how happy we are with it for cutting/accuracy. It...

  3. Wholesale metallic ink printing

    What about a metallic print media with standard inks? Gans Media makes some really neat looking materials that look similar to Phototex but have metallic/holographic look to them.
  4. Templates

    I use a method I posted about here a LONG time ago, it should work great on your Polaris. https://www.signs101.com/threads/phototex-for-templates.119932/
  5. Need Help Plotter problems, suggestions needed.

    We just upgraded from one of these to a new Graphtex FC9000 and it is night and day difference on cutting and accuracy. The summa always seemed to struggle pulling materials. On our older Mimaki plotters we put a thin piece of tape around (and slightly down) around the sensor head to block out...
  6. Need Help Having problems

    My guess is bad ribbon cable. Could possibly also be a dirty encoder strip.
  7. Photoshop Crash - MacOS 10.15.7

    I have had issues with running the latest upgrades of Photoshop and Illustrator a couple times on Windows, thankfully you can "downgrade" back to the last version easily and wait a couple months till they fix the issue and release the next version.
  8. Best Epson distributor?

    All the guys at Trigon are great to work with, we've bought our last 4 Epson printers (and our laminators and plotters) from them and love their knowledge, honesty and support. They're about a half hour from here, but it looks like you're a ways away (in Tulsa?) so they might not be the best bet...
  9. vinyl not sticking-silicone type coating?

    There's a coating some dealerships put on that our installers have to remove with a torch. I believe it is something like an armorall product. You can watch it burn off like moisture/humidity does.
  10. Need Help Lower case "e" Font ID

    Looks like Trajan Pro, with a flipped O and an upside-down G?
  11. Print storage ideas? We are running out of space!

    Stick with vertical for sheet stock. You ALWAYS need a sheet that is buried and have to unload the shelf to get to it, then re-load the shelf. We haven't any warping issues with vertical storage besides foam core that has sat for years. Make yourself some rolling shelving for odd-jobs waiting...
  12. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Here is an ambulance body I had to draw up today. Add a PVO cab and you're good to go! 10% Scale.
  13. Display Case?

    Recently we completed a dimensional display for a customer which now needs a display case created to protect it from dust and prying hands. I have not done a case or anything like that before but I assume there is a few ways to accomplish this. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to...
  14. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Nope, but when I do I'll post it here. We don't do all that many busses, normally just trucks/vans. I get all my outlines from PVO, but we occasionally get these oddballs that I "get" to draw the templates for. When I get those I delete all the extra junk then make a separate layer for each...
  15. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Naw, this thread is from 2014! I just keep adding em on as I make em.
  16. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Here is a nice school bus for those of you who have to (unfortunatly) wrap these... It is a Thomas bus, but that is all I know. Template at 10% Scale, Front/hood is a bit wonky but just keep those simple and print large panels. Hope it saves someone else a few hours!
  17. 3M Materials Shortage

    Call your local 3M Rep who comes in and visits, if you don't have one I'm sure 3M can put you through to one if you call them.
