  3. New aluminum big sqeegee= wow!

    I'm pretty sure the thicker felt edge is for rough surfaces like corrugated and rivets, the thinner felt is for smooth surfaces and laminating. It would have been nice it the new tools had a reversible edge, that could be turned over so you would have either option. Overall, looks like Dale...
  4. 5 x 10 Table

    Don't used a hammer, any good sign shop should have all the tools necessary to build a production table. I built mine out of 2x4 legs and 2x6 rails and cross members with a plywood top and bottom shelf for storage. It's all screwed together then covered the top with a Rhino cutting mat with the...
  5. Yeti Cup Wrap?

    Nice! Can you give some tips on how you did it without using a template? How did you trim it at the top edge, and how do you seam it (on the back)? Thanks
  6. Anyone having trouble with Oracal 751 falling off in a few days?

    The only time I ever had an issue like that, I was trying to install white 751 on a windshield and it was because the owner had used Rain-X so water would shed and bugs would not stick to the glass. I tried to remove the Rain-X, with Windex, alcohol and Rapid Tac cleaner, nothing would remove...
  7. How to reverse flush printhead

    What is the best way to soak the heads and how do you keep ink from cross contamination? I clamp off the two captop lines, however I end with magenta ink mixed in the yellow damper. Are you suppose to remove the ink carts or can they stay installed? Thanks
  8. Flatten Transparency Issue CS5

    Not sure what you are doing or what you are not doing, flattening transparencies in Illustrator is a complex task with many reversible. I would suggest you watch this series of videos by Kenneth Larkin, as he goes over all the components of flattening transparencies and the settings to achieve...

  10. problems with stretching canevas

    Like others have said, no way around doing it right (stretched canvas is just that), I know there are many gimmicks on the market like the system you used claiming to make the process easier, some have plastic corner pieces etc. but as mentioned they are for hobbyist not professionals, for...

    Ragnabrok, I have an older SP-540V and have replaced captops several times (myself), however I have NEVER adjusted the captop height, is that something that should be done when you change out the captops? How often?
  12. Any tips for laminating 10' X 40' banners?

    I'm confused now, you said Clearshield Original and from fellers website (below) it says use Clearshield Classic for Ecosolvet inks, are these both the same product? PRODUCT DETAILS Liquid laminate that increases UV protection and provides water and exceptional chemical resistance One quart...
  13. Any tips for laminating 10' X 40' banners?

    Thanks for the tip! A similar thought crossed my mind, at Home Depot I have seen that clear (milky white that dries clear) poly coating by Minwax, I wonder if that stuff would work on banners?

  16. Any tips for laminating 10' X 40' banners?

    Which Clear Shield do you use for vinyl banners, the Classic? Are you using it over Eco-Sol inks? How do you apply it to the banners? Thanks for any guidance
  17. Does anyone recognize this stock artwork on this wrap

    That is most likely a custom made graphic, you are not going to find that as stock art. If you are only going to re-wrap the damaged area on the rear bumper, just take some high resolution photos of all parts of the pars of the bumper artwork and stitch them together in Photoshop using...
  18. Whats your favorite weeding tool?

    After doing this for way longer than most, I used to use the #16 X-Acto for all the points Pat has mentioned, however I switched over to the X3209 X-ACTO retractable knife and find the small angled blade to be just right! Kind of a shorter version of a #16 blade, and being retractable it...
  19. Printable flag material

    Anyone have a source for a good double sided Eco-Sol Max printable flag material? If it was thin enough it could be single sided, as I could fold over and hem before sewing on the header on the end. Thanks
  20. Grimco and Orafol

    That is REALLY GOOD news I hope it's true, I have not heard anything yet from my GRIMCO supplier in Austin TEXAS. They have FREE shipping that beats US Cutter and SignWarehouse, I'm still mad with SignWarehouse for lying to me and changing their promise to me. I purchased a Graphtec...
