Makes my blood boil.

The best part of designing your own setup is going overboard with it. It's a personal challenge and looks like your engineer nailed it. Must have been a pretty smart dude.

You should try to run a couple of Pentek big blue filters for your water source, they have a bunch of different cartridge filters for them. Put a charcoal filter as the final one in line to remove any chlorine, assuming you have city water. That may cut down on the corrosion.

It looks like a swamp cooler with better flow control. Cool setup. Did they have a company engineer the print room ventilation system or did you all figure it out through trial and error?

If you're not laminating, I'd get a Mimaki UCJV UV roll printer

All we use is a shear, cuts perfect like a factory edge and doesn't crush the material. We've used stomp shears, a small hydraulic shear and large 12' hydraulic shears that can do 1/2" plate. If you get a bad edge, you need to adjust the blade gap.

You also need to remember, as Johnny said, smell isn't the indicator of danger. Many dangerous chemical compounds have no smell, like isocyanates. It's absorbed through your skin, your eyes and respiration but there is no smell, no burn, no nausea, no headaches, basically no indicators that it...

Nervous system damage is the main concern. Most, if not all, of the chemicals that are used in printing/painting warn of this. AFAIK, it's slow and cumulative so the damage won't typically show until much later in life and by then you can't go backwards in time and reverse it. Masks, fume...

It's just something I was taught when my father got into UV screen printing. He had a big extractor that vented the fumes outside. I only remember the distinct weird sweet smell it had but I'm sure Google has plenty of info.

The problem? You'd need liquor to kiss any of that.

I was always told the ozone given off from uv curing is really bad for you.

Don't let the boss find them.

Sounds like you got soft sitting at that computer all day

Yup, that's pretty much industry standard. We over and short but charge according to what they get. If it's a mistake or an overrun for the just in case factor then we usually give them the extras.

That's bit me more than once.

What's the red outline? Contour cut laminate that extends past the edges?

Sign Comp. Check Eastern Metals if they service your area. Proper 2 part panel bonding adhesive should work too, don't cheap out with JB weld or something like that.

Convert the font to curves. I've had this happen on other cutters. Check the letter that's giving you issues after that to double check

We just got ours cutting but that is they way we have had to do it as well. Design in Corel, set the reg marks, send the print file out, ungroup everything, copy and paste the cut contour to the top, keep those and the reg marks and delete the rest. If we send any part of the file besides the...
