just so everybody knows. I ended up buying a 52" tennsmith and it cuts the .080. you have to step on it a couple of times but it not realy that hard. thanks for the input from everybody

In addition to my first post I was thinking its not only aluminum I could cut. Could I also cut my Dibond, Sintra, Coroplast etc.. with this. Has any ever cut this type of material with a foot sheet or would it ruin the edges?

I have been doing a lot of .080 aluminum signs lately so i figure its about time i get my own shear. I have been doing a lot of looking and everyone says don't buy cheap stuff. I agree with this. Has anyone cut .080 5052 H38 aluminum with a 52" foot shear? Does anybody have any...

Well, i am just about complete my first vehicle wrap. Its actually turning out quite good but i have run into a problem. I am wrapping a Ford transit van and on the side panel there is an indented area where a window would be on some models, but this model just has metal. So what i want to do...

I have an 100" straight edge and all the anti slip material is worn off the bottom. does any body know where i can buy some more of this anti slip tape or whatever it is? i have looked every where and have found nothing. thanx

i know this is a late post but i cant believe you couldn't find anybody to do these dry erase magnets in Canada. was there something special... i.e. were they contour cut in a cutter. if they were printer vinyl on .03 magnet with dry erase lam over top then cut in squares or rectangles i would...

good observation. i thought it might had something to do with the customer storing them in the heat. thanx

i have made some .015 fridge magnets and the customer has come back to me because the corners are curling up. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

i know i said only one more question but i keep thinking of other ones. Anyway so it only has to reach that temperature momentarily. i.e. it doesn't have to stay at that heat for any amount of time. Also what do you think of Arlon 6100 air release with Arlon 3220 lam for this job? Do you...

Yes i do have a shop i will do the wrap in. One last question if you don't mind. Is there a temperature that the vinyl (Arlon 6100 air release) has to reach where it wont try to go back to its original state i.e. going around inside contours.

i have a 54" printer and the wrap is longer than that both ways. Would you suggest i put my panels vertically or horizontally?

that hcardwell93, i was talking about the transition from the side to the front hood. There is a 90° turn when i go to the hood. would this not be considered a heavy contour.? that is the area im scare of.

I am about to do my first wrap job (see attached.) What you see attached is what the customer wants. I have watched enough videos on wrapping I feel confident I can do the job but for this particular design I am scared when I get to the front and start going around some heavy contours the...

when you say tiller is that the bottom roller. I cant quite picture what you are talking about dale911. a quick sketch would be most appreciated. thx

I approximate center. i don't actually measure. I will try being a little more accurate next time and see what happens... thx

I have a 55" Royal Sovereign cold laminator. I have been using it for a year now and I can never seem to get it to laminate run straight. What I mean by that is it always seems to wander off the print to one side, not always the same side. So by the time I get 6 or 8’ into the job the...

thank to everyone for you great input. i am feeling more comfortable doing this now.

I think Oroscoe has a good idea. I’m just wandering if Signlab and or VPM will handle a sign of this size. The customer was very adamant about keeping the size and resolution. thanks everyone for the help.

Hello all, i have a 3GB file that i have to print on vinyl. This is a Photoshop image so it can not be directly dragged to VPM. Can anybody recommend how i print this and keep its resolution.

I am trying to print a color swatch chart in Signlab. The problem I am having is when I send it to VPM for printing it wont print the color notes under each of swatches i.e. the CMYK. I tried breaking the notes but Signlab doesn't let you do that. Anyone know how to print those notes an the...
