I just switched my main design station to Windows 11 last week and from a work standpoint there is no functional difference. I'll be gradually switching all of the other computers or replacing those which are incompatible over the coming year. Except the Windows XP machine which runs vinyl...
We use Corel Draw! for the majority of design work, Sign Wizard Pro for vinyl cutting, and Adobe Illustrator to convert files that Adobe users send us which contain proprietary effects that need to be flattened. All are the latest version because Corel and Adobe are subscription now and Sign...
I will add a different perspective. We were trying to keep our old S70670 going but one day it just up and died. So I called Grimco (this was late October 2023) to see about getting an S80600. There was a promo going on with very favorable pricing, and so I said let's go ahead. Then they checked...
When I've called they have told me what the part is. Knowing that doesn't get you there though. Trying to buy the part proves harder. Only on my past end-of-life S70670 would they offer to sell me parts.
If I had to guess it was the realization of how bad inflation really was. Being a resort area, I think the summer season masked how bad it was. Once Labor Day came and the high cashflow stopped, I believe businesses (and individuals) realized they didn't have enough to make it through to the...

Had a good year this year and have partially recovered from the bad 2023 we had (first year in the red since the startup years--and by a large amount). Last year business was down and we got killed by inflation. Still paying off the debt we took on last year, and will be for probably a couple...
Physical fasteners. Period. Not glue. Stress to the school the importance of sign safety. They do not want the liability of the aluminum face flying off in a storm or falling when the adhesive fails.
It seems like the problem is your application tape, not the vinyl. They make application tapes with different levels of adhesion, and that will adhere to the release liner paper.
Banding most likely means it hasn't been set up for the media and/or they aren't using the correct profile. I set mine up myself and had it running perfectly in a snap just by setting up each media correctly--using the automated setup in the printer's menus, and downloading the exact profile for...
