  1. Sometimes I just amaze myself, then sometimes the customers do.............................................

    I just want the two for now, but the other 18 will come in over the year; so I still get the 10% discount, right? Yep, last two will be on me.
  2. One man shop growing pains

    I don't want $this_job, quacks like a nightmare. Quote silly high, they'll go elsewhere, or rethink plans. $this_job's originator - files coming over to you now, send over invoice, and we'll settle in advance. Check calendar, check suppliers, check star alignment, $this_job sets 04:00 alarm...

  4. New to me permitting issue - foot-candles

    Spot metres are for reflected light (the light falling on to the subject). You'd want an incident meter to measure the light coming out from the source (LED through sign face, measured at 1ft, at two foot, the intensity would be quartered etc). No fancey laser spotting, though you could mount a...

  6. Ionizer bars, guns.

    About a decade ago, our DryTac rep pointed us towards Fraser Antistatic - I think they used them in laminate/adhesive production.
  7. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    95% of my stuff is gallery. All media profiled, without, or with lam, and this includes banner. Colours spot on, neutrals dead nuts neutral. One day I dream of not just aqueous, roll to roll, all the goodies. Job is three months external in a city not famed for sunshine, so pressure not liquid.
  8. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    I'm $11.60/sqft. Got 20 40x60's coming through this weekend. Two meetings, a dozen or more emails so far. I get to QA the artwork when it arrives. Cheap, no. Service and time intensive, yes (particularly on my little not r2r printer and laminator). But certainly profitable. I'm going for...
  9. Pad printer questions

    Inkjetmall https://shop.inkjetmall.com/UV45 do conversion kits for small desktop printers, if you want to go the automark UV photoresist route.
  10. Mimaki CJV150 Help!

    A cheap old second monitor to the side with a usbc to dvi/vga adaptor might do the trick. I should get some for our old drytac laminator - paint has worn down and allthough smooth, is a slight point of resistance.

  12. Just In Free SteelTrak up for grabs!

    Only thing I need for the steeltrak is a couple of extra production flip stops. Now, a jubilee 10x5 big bench, with an Evolution3 folder down the side... That'd make the centre piece for the studio, and let me jump the hurdle to a 60" printer. I'd take original artwork, or special edition.
  13. Just In Free SteelTrak up for grabs!

    I got red, black, blue and white vinyl. Do I have the time to wrap our steeltrak, and more importantly, the space, need and urge to put in a second one. Sorry. Only got ceiling height for the 210 version.
  14. What printer for the hobbyist which got enough of L25500?

    I can only speak from the Canon side of things (other than a very specially adapted old Epson). You don't have to use a rip with the 9000, but I hate the odd occasion when I've had to print from PS or illustrator, rather than using a rip (though I print on a very wide range of media for a wide...
  15. What printer for the hobbyist which got enough of L25500?

    I print a fair amount of vinyl on my aqueous Canon, most of it laminated, some of it contour cut with a little Graphtec. Gamut and quality is absolutely photographic. Yes, there are fewer material options than for the latex/uv machines, but the cost of the (for example) Canon IJM538 is a hundred...
  16. Looking for premium solvent canvas

    Not sure of availability your side of the pond, but Innova make some nice materials, and https://innovaart.com/product/eco-solvent-poly-cotton-canvas-370gsm-ifa-96/ looks like it could suit.
  17. The FONT Project

    While I think it would be a lovely idea to ahave a findmethisfont, I think the global target market is rather too small for the coding and support investment required. A bar code reader (such as on a lottery ticket machine) is one thing (and boy is there a lot of money to be made from that...
  18. The FONT Project

    Two birds, possibly three. Remember those tricksy things on websites, where you have to guess what the letters are, before you can get to the next level? Well... replace those silly old hand written texts with first draw a box around a letter A, then a letter a, now a letter B and a letter b...

  20. Pricing cut vinyl

    Thanks guys, very timely. Did a cut and install for a client yesterday. When I got back to the office, there was a thank you, and a reminder from the client to let them know the cost and send an invoice over to purchasing. Two 6x3' panels, white vinyl text. Fortunately, I'd spoken with their...
