Ditto to what dale911 said. We were having the same problems and bought the calibration kit. Basically, it is a fish scale with a strip of thin aluminum attached to it. You put the laminator on the thinnest setting and squeeze the strip of aluminum between the rollers on one side, then...

Great! I will call them today. I appreciate the help!

We have an HP310 latex printer and it has light blue spindles that insert into the cardboard media roll. Ours have broken and need to be replaced. Our designer spent a couple of hours on the phone with HP this morning and was told by one person that we have to buy the entire roll assembly...

Yesterday I received an unsolicited call from a web.com representative selling their "Lead Stream" service, basically as an alternative to Google adwords for getting you to the top of online searches within 15 miles of your location. I'm usually not interested in these sorts of calls, but I...

Several months ago we wrapped a Sprinter van with the Arlon SLX wrap vinyl and laminate. There is no rear window on this van, but the design called for printed vinyl to look like a window (black with lighter text). So, we wrapped the entire rear of the van with digitally printed solid red...

Our rollers are probably about 1/2" thick, so 1/8" could be removed, but this model has notches on the thickness adjustment. There is a notch for laminating, another for .20 - .27 in. thickness, another for .40 - .50 in., etc. Removing 1/8" would probably throw all of these adjustments way off...

A new employee accidentally cut two long slices into the top rubber roller on our Royal Sovereign cold press laminator. The cut depth seems to be about 1/8" deep and a noticeable line appears on the laminate at that point when we apply laminate with this machine. I am guessing recoating will...

We are in Birmingham and took a trailer partial-wrap job in the greater Atlanta area, 160 miles away from our location. The issue with the premask being left on has strung this out and is costing us a fortune in hotel/commuting costs. I need to see if there is anyone in the greater Atlanta...

If you like reading in the "horror" genre, read my recent post "Premask left on vinyl too long". After hours and hours spent with a variety of chemicals and techniques, we simply cannot remove the premask from the vinyl and we have 160 linear feet of 18" stripe (Oracal 751) with premask left on...

I tried that myself. I spent an hour with Rapid Remove and tried varying levels of time and application, re-application, etc. 5 applications in the same place with 30 seconds of soaking between applications takes the process from slower than you can imagine to just really slow. If my team can...

I appreciate all of the input. We have tried all of the above with no real breakthroughs yet. The current plan is to use the Rapid Remove - apply, let it soak in for 30 seconds or so, reapply - repeat this 5 of 6 times, then begin scraping with a plastic razor blade in a scraper tool. I have...

We were applying cut vinyl graphics to semi-trailers and one of our employees left the premask on the vinyl on several trucks on Friday, thinking he was coming back Saturday. These were 18" stripes that ran the length of the trailer. Long story short, he didn't tell anyone this and, after some...

Give me a call to discuss - 205-458-0597.

We are a sign/graphics shop in Birmingham, AL, a metro area with about 1 million people. We have 7 employees and would like to hire someone to help with production work and some onsite installations. I would like to find someone with experience if possible. We used craigslist with some success...

The foil motor on our Edge 2 has gone out and I would like some advice on buying a new one. I spoke with Graphic Marking Systems and a new one from Gerber is $450. They were going to sell me a used one, but didn't end up having one in stock. Any suggestions? I have an Edge 1 motor here that...

Thanks for the info Pete! We will definitely explore this option along with stand-alone estimating software.

We currently have 8 employees including me, and we do a blend of wide format printing, including decals, banners, signs, digital prints, vehicle graphics, wall graphics, posters, etc. After years of doing things the old fashioned way, we are going to make the jump to sign management software...

I was asked how many hours this machine had. After a quick tutorial on how to get to that information, we checked and it has 821 hours.

We acquired a small competitor recently and they have a Roland Soljet PROIII XC540 Print & Cut. We have been printing with it and everything seems to work fine. The previous owner had it serviced several times a year and he was as meticulous as anyone I have seen about that sort of thing. The...

This machine is in our office and I'm ready to sell it. What is the proper place to list a machine like this on Signs101? Is it this forum? Is there another forum for listing machinery for sale? Again, thanks for the help!
