  3. Laminating prints to harder substrates..... some tips?

    I have tried oversize, but how do you know if it is aligned straight? is there a trick? I have also seen wherby I think it is lined up, but somewhere between starting and finishing, it has shifted as much as 1/8 or 1.4". hardly noticeable but I am anal
  4. Laminating prints to harder substrates..... some tips?

    Thanks to the member that showed that you can cut alaumapanel with a heavy duty knife and snap it....what a time saver and love the fact that the shop floor stays a lot cleaner without all the black inners from the alumapanel tracking around everywhere. So now , I was just wondering how many of...

  10. Retroreflective vinyl?

    Odd that this thread raised it's head today, as I am working on these EMS vehicles. I used 3M vehicle grade and that in itself doing striping is taking far to long. I am so careful with reflective as I don't want to re-cut or God forbid have to take any off. I am not using the 3M comply but the...

    [RIGHT] this should work and if not try covering the area of the mark with a matte clear then the black square over it. I know the frustration of that damn Opus
  12. pinch rollers still leaving black lines on substrates

    I have no idea what the black stuff is or how it gets on the rollers, but it is driving me crazy in the way that sometimes it happens and other times it does not. I tried cleaning with alcohol, but no effect. Any ideas on what causes this and how to remove it? cleaning fluid? or will that...
  13. figured out an easy way to help the Summa detect registration marks

  15. Edge prints along the bottom continually dropping out

    no I have seen this many times over the years, but never have figured out why it happens. I cleaned the heads as well and still does it. It might be a bad foil where the lower edge may be trying to curl up. but too hard to figure out.
  16. Edge prints along the bottom continually dropping out

    warning...dont hit the reply to thread after you have replied to thread...it erases everything...doh anyways it is odd that it did this on and off throughout that job, but not at all when i switched to yellow refective
  17. Edge prints along the bottom continually dropping out

    No the yellow is the vinyl I print on..... I think it might be the cartridge, although I am not sure how to fix it
  18. Edge prints along the bottom continually dropping out

    Take a look at this photo. It is occuring just along the bottom "0"'s only. I just cleaned the head and it is still doing it. Duracoat cartridges. Any idea how to stop this?
  19. Product Review - Cheap Deburring tool worth its weight in gold

    I have had one (similar) for about 5 years...It's amazing how it cleans up those sharp holes you drill and can even be used to get the sharpness off the edges of aluminum and alupanel
