  1. Perf vinyl on huge windows, overlap ?

    We did a huge job with perforated vinyl, really huge. The edges started peeling off already. We don't have any seams and the perf. vinyl isn't laminated but would sealing the edges all around with lamination film prevent this ? From top of my head this seems like a fantastic idea, not sure...
  2. What is this banding caused from?

    Are all of your nozzles firing properly ? IF so does this happen on every material ?
  3. Monday Rant

    Here's a story for ya... So an acquaintance of mine comes to our shop and wants us to do a few car wraps for him. Sure thing. We come up with a design and he says he loves it and asks how much it's gonna cost. We tell him the price and he says OK, he also tells us to send him the design so he...
  4. Snark-Free Response Forum

    Oh boy. You're new to the interwebz aren't you ? I haven't found a single forum on the internet, ever where people aren't snarky when confronted with stupid questions, EVER. The "best" you can hope for in that regard is that the forum has a lot of trigger happy moderators that just delete...
  5. Hello! Ambitious Motivated Newbie :)

    Eh well that's how it is for most people with most businesses. The people that have the energy to give 150% by the time they're 40 or 50 tend to be millionaires or billionaires.
  6. big squeegee help!!!!

    For vinyl, sure. But for laminate ? Laminating anything with a squeegee freaks me out lol.
  7. 60 inch wide Cast Overlaminate?

    Yea I wouldn't laminate it either.
  8. big squeegee help!!!!

    I know I'm gonna get a lot of angry looks from the peeps around here but...just get a laminator. Any laminator at all. Get a Chinese laminator for a few hundred bucks. Unless it's totally screwed up it should laminate just fine and it will be a lot easier. The big squeegee is a fantastic...
  9. Printing.....Nothing

    Is this the only file you have trouble printing ?
  10. x6 color or dual x4 color configuration

    I agree on almost all points. We have aftermarket inks running on our VS-640 with white and metalics. We threw the white and metalic out and just put in eco solvent cartridges into those lines instead. For us the white and metalics had a very limited use. When we were first discussing...
  11. Roland vs Mimaki vs HP vs Epson

    Yea I can testify to a lot of the stuff SightLine has said, similar situation with my Roland. Though my Roland didn't come with a take up system. I wasn't willing to give Roland $2k for theirs so I just bought an aftermarket one somewhere for like $300-400. Works perfectly. It's tension based...
  12. Roland vs Mimaki vs HP vs Epson

    Alrighty I personally love these types of huge, open ended threads because it allows me to write huge posts where I can just go on, in one long, incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic. Me We have 2 printers in our shop right now. One is a VS-640 with CMYLLcLm+M+W and...
  13. Shop table surfaces

    We have one table with a glass top that's meant to be the main cutting table. But nowadays we mostly keep it clean and neat for the stuff that can't tolerate a speck of dirt or anything. For our other tables we just built a few. We got ourselves some iron "pipes" and welded them together, put...
  14. Wrap shop to ad agency??

    We do that. We take the customer from nothing and create everything for them. From the name, business cards, car wraps, web sites, banners, billboards, led signage (the kind you see on buildings) wall scapes, flyers, posters, labels, packaging (boxes for products and such) and then we also...

  16. CNC Contour Cut

    I concur.
  17. CNC Contour Cut

    God damn it, it's older than me.
  18. CNC Contour Cut

    This is by far the best discussion that I've been a part on here at signs101. It seemed to be that activity really slowed down around here but this just shows that the caliber of members hasn't dropped one bit. @artbot Do you still use that setup now or have you come up with something more...
  19. CNC Contour Cut

    Nice I'm looking to get a Multistrada 1200 once I have a bit of pocket change.
  20. CNC Contour Cut

    It's quite something and a hell of a coincidence too. I love Ducatis and ride a KTM. My KTM in the production area of our shop - http://i.imgur.com/vNIyyRK.jpg and yea, I do trust this guy. We don't have a lot of experience with bits but the ones he made for us work a lot better than what we've...
