I want to use a hp5000 as backup to my 5500ps (run from a mac) and need a rip to do that. I have a windows xp machine it could run on. I understand that old versions of flexi pro and the like lay around unused... anyone want to make a few bucks by selling something that can send a file to the...

don't place the files... open them If you open the pdfs in illustrator you will need the fonts the files include. You can also open the pdfs in photoshop and print from there. Also you can print the pdf from acrobat. Also you can save the pdf in acrobat as ps or eps. What never works for me...

just ignore it These court employees go for the low hanging fruit. Do not show up. Plenty of others will.

Looking for an elegant looking installation--- Porch gets some wind, but that is not my concern. i want this to look great and be able to tension as needed.

I need to hang a couple of solvent printed mesh banners (6' x 9') on a covered porch. They will be considered permanent. My initial thought is to pole pocket the top & bottom, and insert metal conduit, then eye-bolt ends of conduit and use stainless cable thru the conduit and hitched from the 4...

Gotta stop supporting certain manufacturers! This goes way, way back! I was considering my first (Gerber) vinyl cutter (musta been around 1979) when a local university called me in for a consult on their sign system. I spent quite a bit of time with them, when the main guy finally admitted...

Some good stuff--- still looking. Thanks BillCT for the dibond link! That stuff looks pretty good... anyone have experience with the powder coated finishes outdoors? Still googlin away looking for more options...

GREAT RESPONSES... I would sure like to know more about the dibond post system mentioned, and anything like it that is modular and flexible. Anybody got a supplier name?

Not collapsing... looking for alternatives. I have no problem holding the line on pricing... I am just not really convinced that this is really a line worth holding. I don't get wildly enthusiastic when I find out that signs are selling for 100s of percents more than they appear to be worth...

I am talking about a stop sign... for example I don't blame the customer for cheaping out. One one hand there is a $50 stop sign and a $40 u-channel post. On the other is a custom painted extruded aluminum channel post with cap, and a hexagon cut .125 aluminum panel, custom painted and...

Looking for another approach... For many years we have used Howard Industries, et al. for our "parking lot" sign systems. The product was excellent, service as well... and the corporate customer didn't bellyache over the price. Fast forward to 2010, and the prices are way up (totally...

The 3800 is just a 3000 with a separate rip Toss the rip. The 3000 is still very much a good and workable machine. The problem is not inks (they are still available) or parts (used non-working 2000s and 3000s are available all over)... but that this printer is slow, and it needs to be run...

I just want to add that I have NEVER had an issue with heat affecting my hp prints in the laminating process. I believe that those who do are using thin laminates that would work better on a hot-shoe laminator than a silicon roller device. I use 5 mil mainly, but have found that with a little...

Let me jump right in here and tell you what I do with my HP 5500 and Titan 110 laminator. I print to a water-resistant, pressure sensitive media (I like "cheap & tacky" best because it is matte finish, but there are also polypropylenes that are even more waterproof). I cold mount the ps media...

I got the GBC Titan and here is what they don't tell you... The silicon rollers with the heating units inside are very delicate! If you scratch one bad enough, it will puff and bulge at high temperature and need to be replaced, meaning like $900. So my advice is to buy from a reputable dealer...

These are good ideas (I haven't tried the swiffer yet). I have a really serious static problem because we are fully carpeted, and in Vermont the dry heat is on all winter. What I do is keep a spray can of static guard around and before i start laminating I quicly spray a light mist over the...

Thanks--- I guess I will keep looking If I have to I will go back to the 3M... but the intelicoat was so much better. Anybody have any experience with the new calendared versions (cvla4 and cvla5)? I just hope that 3M keeps making the aqueous media and laminate. I really can't see solvent...

I have had fantastic results with magic media (intellicoat) DMCVLA3 cast vinyl and their matching cast overlaminate (DMCVHO2). I expect minimum 3 years with NO FADING... and have been getting up to 7 years since the 90s. My supplier now tells me that this market is falling off and that...
