I've been on this forum for 6 years now and in those 6 years, I don't ever recall Fred being unreasonable. If he says he's seen things that show someone doesn't deserve the privilege to post here, then I believe him. Who knows this forum better than Fred? Inside and out?

I didn't see the "have your single $24,000 van painted any color you want" option listed.

You need to get out of the 2000's. You can't buy many Fords for $25K. Maybe a Ford Fiesta and they aren't going to shut the line down and mix a custom color for a bottom of the line single vehicle purchase. Looked at a Ford Truck price lately? I looked last week. 5 different models ranged from...

Good luck with that, that's not the case these days.

Friends shouldn't let friends drink PBR :)

No need for the roots. Even if they wanted it. If you transfer the logic, if you were working on a logo for a septic company, would you put pee and poo in the logo?

Call a meeting with her and her boss, sit down with them and discuss it and ask what their expectations are. Explain when you left, you were told it was great and to send the check, so you're a bit confused on how it went from "great" to "unacceptable" in a matter of a day or two. Get them to...

Rabbits are known to be one of the companies that has a guy in the USA running it that is on top of things. He's known for being a stand up guy and standing behind his products. I've never dealt with him, but I've never seen a single unhappy customer of his. On the contrary, I've seen a large...

I understand that on the ink side, but not so much on the drying time. If it varies that much, you'd think they'd have several different profiles to pick from. IJ-35, IJ-40, IJ-180, and even Oracal products all blister badly if I use any of them. We're running it in a 72 degree, climate...

I wonder why the heat settings are so wrong. If you download the profile from 3M for IJ180 for a latex machine, it blisters the heck out of the material and backing paper. I wonder how 220 degrees works in their lab but not on our machine. I mean it physically damages the material beyond use...

I think it comes partially because of an error in the way you are using the machine and software. I'll take a leap here and that means I could be very wrong. Are you using Aspire or PartWorks? If so, there's an "offset" value that comes up when you start a new job. It's normally got some value...

What do you all do with "vacant" space on prints? For example, if you have 54" wide material and your job is 40" wide, do you just let it go, laminate it and throw it all in the trash? Or do you have a folder of things you can drag and drop into place just to use as fill work for personal or...

I'm not debating the value of 1,2, or 50 machines vs. 1. I'm simply stating the facts about actual cutting when comparing the two. I think a Chinese machine is the best value for the OP, so don't try and paint me into a debate about one vs. the other.

It's happening here too. Here, it's something to do with the permits and if you are a microbrewery, it's a problem to get food into the place for some reason. I don't remember it, but I had a guy tell me about 2 months ago all about it, how a microbrewery was asking him to start a food truck and...

Yes and no, as per the information I listed above. If you are running 80W on any machine, then cutting is going to be about the same speed. However, if the Chinese 80W tells you not to run it at 100% power, but to run it at 80% power, then yes, the 80W non Chinese machine is going to cut faster...

Don't they get about $1 per sq. inch for hydrodripping? If so, that's going to be a very expensive part to dip. Try the stuff made for it, like Substance. They will send you a sample with the laminate as well.

Depends on whether it's Chinese or not. Remember what I said, Chinese tell you not to run their machines at 100% power, so you have to come down to 85% or something like that or you're cause the tube to prematurely fail. So you'd have to knock 15% (or whatever their magic number is, might be...

There are huge differences in Chinese machines and name brand machines. The differences are great and it all depends on your budget and your use for it. If you're just getting started and are taking the risk, and don't know whether it'll take off or not, it might not be worth dropping $$$$ for a...

I think you better go with the Limac if you are shopping on price. A 4' x 3' Trotec would be a Speedy 500 and they are more than $60,000, if I remember correctly. You can't even buy the smallest one they make for that amount of money.

I don't understand music on YouTube at all. If I use a song for the audio in a video I do for fun, YouTube strips the music out and gives me a "strike". 3 strikes and your account is terminated. However, I see people's videos all the time that use music for the audio. How they get it pass the...
