  3. Supplier for Alumacore in Northeast

    Well Grimco failed me twice. I ordered a green 5mm 4x8 sheet of alumacore for a custom sign Im building and it arrived with a huge dent in the middle.

  7. Am I at fault? Or is this guy just being a little too picky?

    So I had this customer back in October contact me from Canada about some decals he wanted made up for his Dodge SRT10. He sent me a file and just wanted them made into decals. No biggie I thought as the file was easy to vectorize. He just now contacts me back yesterday after months, stating the...

  9. Weird printing problem.

    I have been encountering a weird printing problem on certain colors on my Mutoh 1204. It is kind of like 1/2" banding but I guess I wouldn't call it banding. My nozzle check is perfect and my PF adjustment is correct. It was hard to get a good picture from my phone. But as you can see in the...
  10. Cutting Strip for FC7000-100 (Vinyl Express Q100)

    I have a Vinyl Express Q100 which I believe is very similar to the FC7000-100 cutter. I am in need of a new cutter strip. The only source I can find is SW. They want $45.00 for one shipped. Graphtec wants $48.00. Which I feel is a little high for a little strip. Is there any alternatives to...

  12. Cutting Magnetic Material

    Ok so I have seen a lot about printing on magnetic material and not to do it. But to instead print on vinyl and laminate, then apply to the magnetic material. My question is: How do you cut it? I have tried small amounts on my cutter, but even then it sticks a little and give me poor cuts...

  15. Business Card Fail

    Saw this the other day and had to take a picture of it. I showed it to my wife and it took her a minute to figure it out. She kept asking why I had a barber shop business card. I guess us sign guys just have an eye for it!
  16. Printing Out Of Proprotion WHY?

    So last print of the day and this starts happening. For some reason it starts stretching my prints really wide and out of proportion. In the picture you can see the the decals at the bottom, that is what size the ones on the top are supposed to be. I looked to see if the proportion was off in...

    So I have been on the market for a used printer, since mine died. I have came across a really good deal on a Epson Pro 9600. I do not know a lot about these printers.
