  1. Vinyl for Plastic Gas Tanks?

    Almost all these extended range tanks are made of plastic. He paid over $700 for the darn thing. The blow torch routine works great for std plastic pieces. Someone told him at the motorsports show in Indy this weekend it could be done and I am just curios to see if it is a lost cause or not.
  2. Small Format Printer

    I actually run my edge with flexi and use a summa cutter for contour cutting. I don't use it too much any more but there are a couple of applications where you "just can't get there" with an inkjet.
  3. Vinyl for Plastic Gas Tanks?

    I have a customer that has a large extended range plastic gas tank for his KTM motorcycle and I am have a hard time finding any material that will hold up on the tank. Within a week or two it is full of bubbles and when you peal them off they are soaked in gas. I have used the array of convex...
  4. Think Twice About Using Signwarehouse!!!

    Ditto, except it was a $15k printer
  5. Roland XC-540 no power for 2 months...

    Yeah, Magenta is usually the first to dry up when left for a while. A good clean / perhaps syringe and captop should get it going. otherwise looks quite good.
  6. Mini Cooper Wrap.

    Hate them or not......if done right they work.... I hate TV commercials but the good ones still work on me...
  7. Becoming a Roland Tech...

    I'd say...a head for a JV33 is $795 and the new Fellers catalog has a "Triangle" branded head for the JV33 for $2650...hmmm am I missing something.
  8. D.B. Cooper found in a sign shop?

    Not too big of a fan on the "American" version of top gear, still like the original much better. The original has much more entertaining Hosts...
  9. Encoder Strip Problems-Help

    Ditto on this. I have had encoder strip issues on many occasions and a clean almost always fixes it. I have never replaced it and in talking with a local tech he says he has replaced very few. I did end up having the issue and had to clean the "eye" that reads the strip. Fixed it.
  10. Printheads to replace or an heavy cleaning will do?

    Move the head and inspect. If it has a mark on the heads that will not be good news.
  11. Printheads to replace or an heavy cleaning will do?

    The problem areas are on the edge of the head which could be due to misaligned caps. Make sure your caps line up with your heads. The syringe needs to be on the under side of the cap. With the head parked use the syringe to draw ink through the head. There is a good chance this could bring...
  12. sand blasted aluminum

    What media are you using ?
  13. Helmet Wrap!

    Looks good, great job! The little wraps I find are not profitable from a time standpoint. I have wrapped numerous gun stocks and after each one I swear I would never do another. The problem is that word spreads that you do them.
  14. Wrapping a hood - only the center?

    Yeah, it is 3M striping tape, we use it all the time, great stuff. It would work provided you have a steady cutting hand.
  15. which printer is better, mimaki,mutoh,roland?

    I have had the fortune/misfortune to own all three makes. Mimaki ..great printer, great service - no complaints Roland ..great printer, dealer service sucks, roland service great, good printer (a little pricy) Mutoh .. pos printer (never got it to work correctly). No dealer support...
  16. Grimco to discontinue 20/20 ink for Mutoh

    They are having the same problem with the Mimaki inks now.
  17. What gets you to the shop and back?

    Boo Man, You can see it next week on the new NBC show "Chase". The little ghost graphic was for the show. One of our shop vans is in the show too.
  18. Items you’ve Wrapped.

    That looks cool... Here are a few cinder blocks we did with the rock wrap material.
