  1. This handy man logo clearly shows that they're excited about their work

    some things just defy gravity, sans-disfunction.
  2. Need Help Botched Install?

    those are dings post-application. Would have nothing to do with lack of application pressure, that would show-up as bubbles under the surface of the vinyl/lam, unless someone got a bit aggressive trying to flatten them out with a hard squeegee and no relief holes for the air to escape.
  3. Maybe stupid question about vinyl and lam

    i've wrapped plenty of car doors for squad cars with unlaminated printable white wrap media. its just a pita how delicate it becomes to manipulate, by comparison to a thicker laminated print, but in terms of longevity there's no issue. laminate would just make it more resistant to...
  4. How to reduce image quality for photos in Corel

    in corel, its Image > Resample
  5. Application roller add-on kit?

    the physics of it is simple, gantry/pneumatics/lam-roller/rails/etc., but nothing on the market (yet) for this purpose. your best option is a bigsqueegee, or run a regular laminator level with the end of your table and feed panels/graphics through it. else, there's some chinese knock-offs out...
  6. Need Help Arlon 3420 Laminate buckling

    I run a 3420 on a seal 54 base on the regular, the backing does seem to peel a bit "less-rigid" I guess but never had that issue posted while laminating.
  7. Roland Tech service quote $$ Are you serious?? $$

    seems about right for pricing, hence why I've been replaing my own printheads and misc parts since <2005. ...and my compressor repair guy charges the same. pays to DIY, but service comes with peace of mind (and a pricetag)
  8. Calling out size- height 1st, length 2nd?

    smallest by biggest has always felt right, as does "x by y" but that could just be algebra/geometry/calculus influence, Hit me with either, and its no biggie unless grains and landscapes need clarification BUT say 1x10 and I'll assume all-inches or a kick in the groin. ...possibly a preference...
  9. how to deal with silicone on trailer

    100% cleanup is unnecessary if our intent is to just gob new silione back over it in its place. I just whack it off as smooth as i can, and then embed my rough-cut vinyl halfway into the new layer of silicone. Otherwise, its a concern/cost I address with the client and majority of the time...
  10. Craigslist - Your Opinion

    facebook marketplace, etsy, or pinterest if you're gonna try to put yourself out there. craigslist, however, is garbage unless you want to hire cash labor or buy/sell stolen merch.
  11. Need Help Printable Privacy Film

    perforated and 2 way mirror operates on the same premise, requiring exterior light to reflect off its surface and distract from viewing-thru. If you have lights on in the intended non-visible side of the glass, then you negate this effect. you may be able to do perforated on both sides of the...
  12. Anyone using Onyx in Windows and designing on a Mac?

    Currently we design on Mac, and run onyx on a seperate PC, as well. Files are saved on our network, and readily accessible from either computer. if you wish to control your RIP, that runs on a PC, from your Mac... RemoteDesktop or TeamViewer are easy solutions.
  13. Exterior double sided tape for dimensional letters?

    nahhh, i got you. I just hijack'd it on his behalf :)
  14. Exterior double sided tape for dimensional letters?

    we're all able, but I believe the smallest rebar-cutting masonry bit is like ....3/8". I just puked a little just thinking about that hole pattern on 3" lettering.
  15. Exterior double sided tape for dimensional letters?

    silicone to paint? gosh, i've only had issues with vinyl to paint that's still outgassing. I think with tape&silicone there's room to outgass-around as opposed to fully-sheeting a "wet" wall with a full-field mural. The wall should be dry enough to tape up your mounting pattern anyways, so...
  16. Need Help Will Red Reflective Look "Washed Out" at Night?

    the white may be more prevalent, but STOP and DNE signage reads just fine already. personally, I hate the idea of non-DOT reflective signage... clients think they're getting "illumination" or "better visibility" but it really only "lights up" if you're driving right-at the sign.
  17. This can't be good for Dallas....

    my tin-foil-hat gleams bright some days :) as a Lithuanian, I'm well aware of the history of Russian annexation/occupation.... to absorb a country, the key to success is optics. 1000yr old country, almost erased from history under the guise of "protection from the Germans", as they spent...
  18. Exterior double sided tape for dimensional letters?

    does rebar come all the way to the surface? i just keep a klein's handy on stud letter installs in event of studs/power/etc. and just clip em down as needed to let that one or a few studs only go into the wall <1/2". small letters on brick/masonry, if I can ONLY use tape/silicone.... I use 3M...
  19. This can't be good for Dallas....

    things keep going this bad in Mexico, and our demand for Limes/Avocados/Lithium keeps increasing ...i uh, erm, I mean, our empathy the hardships of the people therein, of course, do you think Annexation is the next play? ...or even part of the grand-scheme all along? (re:Ukraine)
  20. Mimaki JV3-160S Not printing at all

    have you done any tinkering inside the printer lately? have you noticed any degredation in your prints/nozzletests before this started? start from scratch: clean everything. always helps to have a good starting point and cleanliness is half of the battle. capping station/wiper/printheads...
