To rest this theory, I tried to change my screen name to reflect my decision to self-identify as a female , but S101 only allows 1 lifetime change.

Good for you asking a direct question. My response was tongue in cheek, perhaps too sarcastic and maybe only funny to me, so I apologize for offending you. Not excusing by behavior, but you sometimes INVITE these kinds of responses. Asking programmed open-ended questions that seem lifted...

Have to hand to Robert. He can sure stir it up. I promised myself to stay away from these General chit-chat time wasters and yet, here I am. Jochwat might be on to something. Maybe Robert is really a sophisticated Chinese 'bot' tasked with sowing chaos in the sign industry. Think of all the...

I get that. In the day to day its a real temptation to check off a quote request with a quick 'guesstimate'. When I get into trouble, it's always been giving in to that temptation. Guess too high and lose the job, too low and lose money or go back hat-in-hand to customer asking for more...

Not a fan of quoting per sq. ft. Gives the impression you are selling a commodity and doesn't accurately account for costs. On any given job, a business owner should know exactly what cost, gross margin, and net profit would be and the only way to do that is with some sort of pricing mechanism...

Sometimes it seems nothing will stick to certain painted surfaces. Broken record - but always test adhesion before print. Our solutions: 50/50 Alcohol (denatured fine) wipe down (all jobs) Scuff with scotchbrite pad and wipe down alcohol Post heat Use more aggressive adhesive like Walk N...

Knowing JB is not a dirty old man, he must be referring to the condiment made from fruit of the great state of Kentucky.

Partially true. Definitely lubricants in their 'secret' formula but also solvents and for that reason I would not use near plastics or sensitive electrical components. From Wikipedia: 45-50 % low vapor pressure aliphatic hydrocarbon (isoparaffin) <35% petroleum base oil (non hazardous heavy...

+1 for 40c. Although advertised as removable, it's more 'long-term removable with more grip. Much more stable dimensionally than Avery 2611 which we used for several years. For walls we laminate (usually matte) to make it easier to apply and panel match as most of our wall wraps are mid-long...

I like the shredder oil idea - can use that on my electric razor and hair trimmer.

I think there may be confusion with the HP Latex Mobile app - which truly sucks. I had no idea the PrintOS PSP App existed - installing that now but looks light years ahead of the HP Latex app assuming it works bug free (which given HPs track record is not a given) it should be really useful...

Thanks - looking forward to seeing a pic if you have it.

Depends on plastic. Clean w/ alcohol, use vinyl for low energy plastics like Avery 2126

I have two complete, non running machines (one blown cyan ink tube (sound familiar?), another worked until sitting a while, powers up but won't complete initialization) first-come, first served, free for taking as long as I don't have to touch - you have to take both, get them out of my storage...

There's a good chance my 25 year old designer would run circles around Myront's circles, using illustrator to create a decent-looking design while playing video games, streaming music, trading crypto-currency, and drinking an awful tasting energy drink all at the same time. It's what the kids...

The mainboards are good for some substantial discounts on trade, if those deals are still going on.

Or if you do donate your kidney, ask for more than $48 and cash up front.

Thanks all; appreciate the different ideas. Thought I was missing some new breakthrough product or process that I should have known about. Sounds like chrome is still a challenge, but several of you have suggested some workarounds and other products to try, which I appreciate. A lot more...

Like that idea - would be air egress.

Afraid that was the case. I was thinking of laminating the chrome to removable air egress like 40c to make it easier to apply and remove. Ever tried that? Also wondering if the chrome could be laminated to reduce scratching and improve UV. I guess the result would be some thick, expensive...
