  1. Pantone Color Chart to print

    Many new colours can be missing in these PDF charts... I called Pantone directly, explained my issue thinking they would gladly provide new charts in PDF to print (was ready to pay...) but NOTHING. NIET. NADA. RIEN. This one I really didn't compute it. You are the reference in colors but...

  5. Cutting ACM

    Most vertical cutters will only take 3mm-4mm thick panels (which kinda sucks when you push for 6mm for construction sites and other abusive environments. I hate to file all the edges to avoid injuries (customers) so yes table saw with 81 teeth blade for plastics makes great cut but there's...

    Avery's cast line is named SC950... what you refered to is their High Performance calendred line. Olive #765 is available in both lines. I would stick to cast for longer durability. Even more on fiberglass.

    On my tech's recommandations, I did correct the voltage level. In Service Mode under Cutting setup - Outlevel - number was 3.8 and tech says it should be around 2.6 so I turned the knob counterclock-wise 'til the sensor hit the 2.6 mark. Retry to cut. Still running over the 1st one w/o...

Got a 10yds and printed 2 sets of decals (with 8518 gloss laminate). 5 years later when...
  17. Woodgrain Wrap

    I hate when customer comes in and ask for 3M like if 3M was the only premium material they'll never get in their entire life. Sure it's good stuff (most of the time...) but they are not alone on top shelf. Most of the time they just have been brainwashed by someone else. In my shop I use the...
