Had a friend stump me. He works in an office with glass walls and wanted to know if there was a film or treatment to reduce the amount of reflections he sees in them. I’m stumped as for something that isn’t frosted or tinted

I had some Crazy thick material that I needed to run on my S2. And it was a huge roll that was rolled backwards from normal vinyl. The solution was to mount a table top roller on the weeding table and fabricate a 10” wide out feed table for the output side. That backing was the slickest thing...

Hey guys, I’m wondering the easiest way to set up a file so that the summa will just advance the material 35” then cut it off... and repeat that process for an entire roll of material. I know I’ve done it before but can’t for the life of me remember how. I have a lot of 12” material getting...

I have another plotter for design testing and changes that I could use before a die could be made. I have another plotter I use for product testing and small run production that could be used while a die is made. I really need that take-up roll and I like the test run the did for me on the...

Hey yall, I need to figure out another way to increase my production and replace my Summa 30" cutter. I have 20 designs that cut out, I don't print, I don't laminate, just punch out the same sets of shapes over and over and over. I'm trying to decide between a small rotary die press (Sohn mini...

I have a 60' long roll of material that needs to be rewound onto a new core. It won't go straight and normally, you just go a few layers, straighten the sides up and pull it tight...this stuff wont slide and wont pull tight because of the tackiness of the silicone coating....it's weird, but...

Hey Guys...I'm cutting a lot of weird material (that's my thing) but this has a silicone coating on the face. I don't have a machine with a take up rollers and this stuff won't slide against itself. I can't rewind it without it looking like a kid who unrolled the TP roll and tried to reroll...

Hey there yall

It is for some tools that are very similar to maybe a PS4 controller wrap. I've done basic flattening but getting the design to lay flat without tenting is a beast

Hey guys, My niche is demanding something from me that I cannot design with my current abilities. Does anyone use exactflat or a similar program for pattern making around complex 3d shapes?

Yeah, its the 30" so I don't think that's an option.

what is a TUR?

Hey guys, Just wondering some suggestions for running large rolls of material on my new Summa. It is basically a two sided adhesive where we are cutting through one backer and leaving the other. The manufacturer sent in these massive rolls but dang...they are huge. I really don't want to put...

Hey everyone, So, 95% of my current vinyl business is cut graphics but I am expanding and new to the print world. I have figured out the basics and have successfully printed my own labels which was the main reason for the purchase. Now I'm trying to expand back into my niche. The reflective I...

I ended up getting a few quotes locally then reached out to Phil Johnson... great price, next day to the midwest!

Ok, so day 1.5 and the noise isn't really a factor but the winplot software kinda sucks. it keeps locking up, I can't send anything from coreldraw to it unless I shut down the computer and restart everything. If I just open winplot and pull up the eps file, everything is fine until the job...

We have been experimenting with different sizes and types of vinyl... I'm open to suggestions on what type of vinyl to use that would be agressive enough! I have added an eps zip and a sample from our early prototypes...the lady in the weed room wanted to shoot me when she saw how it cut, but...

We have decided on using fluorescent similar to Orafol 6510 (doesn't have to be high performance but not a temporary). this is an example of our first attempt for size reference, this would be considered one set.

Here is the EPS file,

sorry eveyone, the semester started and work at the shop picked up. The file was run on our gerber , and both graphtech plotters with similar results. This seems to tell me that its the composer software that need the offset changed. We do mostly fleet stuff so it really wasn't an issue on 2"...
