  1. Removable Cut Vinyl

    The Avery 500 has permanent adhesive. 3M Series 50 claims to have removable adhesive.
  2. Best cutting ruler? NOT ALUMINUM!

    I agree with Gino. If you're cutting the edge off your rulers, you're doing it wrong.
  3. Question laminating issues with Alupanel and Max metal from Grimco in Toronto

    Even if there is some irregularity in the panel, seems like the laminator ought to be able to squash them out. How hard are the rollers on the laminator? We use MaxMetal all the time, and though we rarely use the laminator to mount a print, the few times I have, I experienced no bubbles. If you...
  4. How to handle solvent Waste Ink

    It depends on state regulations where you live. I asked our Department of Natural Resources, and they said to dry it in kitty litter and dispose as solid waste in the trash. It's the same way with paint here. Other states might not allow that.
  5. How much do you guys charge to replace sign bulbs that require a bucket truck?

    It's always at least ten times more than the customer was thinking. Kind of like "you just hit print and the computer does all the work", they think "it's just a couple of light bulbs".
  6. Question Wet application of 3M 180-mc. OK, or bad idea?

    When we do vinyl over vinyl for outlines we just trim the carrier close to the letter, especially around the first and last letters, and along the top and bottom straight letters. Then tape it on and apply with hinge method. Do it day in and day out with no misregistration. This was the normal...
  7. How do you guys deal with these black rubber lines on vehicles

    Cut the vinyl so that no vinyl is on the rubber. If the vinyl terminates on the painted metal surface it will not fail prematurely. If it bridges the rubber or if you just cut it once ver the rubber, it will fail.

    But what I really want to know is what is fly-tipping?

  12. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    The Epsons won't start the cleaning until cartridges with enough ink are installed, and as you've found, will not do anything until they have the ink. You can remove the full cartridge after cleaning and reinstall the nearly empty one afterwards to use up the ink. The basic way to deal with this...

  14. Does this look adequate???

    Using the engineering calculator I rely on, a 6x6 treated Yellow Pine post is only 45% utilized for that sign, when set in a 24" diameter hole 38" deep. That's based on our maximum wind of 90 mph. So what you're planning would be good. Personally, for that height of sign I'd take the hole to 48"...

    I like Christmas music, but not until after Thanksgiving

    Try Vinyl-Off. Or a steamer and scraper.

    That looks like overinking. You'll need to set up profiles for the media.
  19. Alternative ink Recommendations for Epson S30670?

    Neither of those companies make an ink for the S30670, at least as far as their websites show.
  20. 3D piece to add to wrap

    I think to mount it you could probably use a glue like what they glue mirrors to windshields with. Simplest way to make the stem and leaf would be to make it a flat cutout (2D) that is visible from the side of the car. That would also offer the least wind resistance while driving. Probably could...
