pics, or it never happened. otherwise, my guess is thermoformed polycarbonate.

cross-platform consumables is nowhere close to HP's business model. even if it were the exact same ink & cartridge, they will surely program it into the chip to be rejected by the priner.

not a fan of time clocks, the client rarely remembers how to reset for daylight savings and/or wants it on 20hrs of the day and, much like a computer, turning it on/off for just a few hours of downtime is actually more stressful on the system than simply leaving it on. a physical switch on the...

I have a feelin' it will boil-down to the eventual recount in Wisconsin. This will soon shape-up to be the most expensive election in U.S. History, just to elect the oldest President in U.S. History.

Looks good guys! We like your 5th layout revision, but we emailed the design to your competitor down the street and he said he would do it for $100 less since I provided him artwork & specs. You don't mind if I use your bathroom do ya? Are these extra rolls of toilet paper complimentary?

my workaround for load/feed limitations, is to simply save your scraps and tape them onto the leading/trailing edge. then you can flip the script, and declare how much $$$ you're actually saving annually, with a little bit of DIY.

yeah i definitely miss my old jv3 for this reason. used to be able to treat the printer like a plotter in the sense of loading any size piece of scrap vinyl and even covering the media-in sensor with a piece of tape to be able to print until the pinch wheels were no longer able to hold on...

Stretched cast vinyl, is basically calendared vinyl. after stretching/shrinking/applying those curves, the vinyl that extends-past the complicated curves needs to be lifted&heated as to allow the vinyl to shrink back to its "cast-state" before finishing application & trimming/tiling. If the...

still same Trico MD1200 unit here.... installed when we bought the CNC ~15yrs ago. I've had to replace the mister tips a few times, after they occasionally make contact with the spindle and grind-down on the tip, and recently did a major overhaul to re-fit the entire setup with new oil lines...

been using the TriCool vegetable based (green label) lubricant for over a decade now... love it! Agreed that its a bit pricey at $125/gallon, but that gallon goes a long way through the mister. My CNC runs about 30hrs a week on aluminum parts, and i'll go through maybe a gallon every three...

+1 to above suggestion that this is a data issue. if this happened after removing & flushing the head, chances are that you got fluid into the ribbon cable slot and your data connections are jumping....meaning replacement head may be necessary. I would start by swapping the cables between...

Show them your tittle and maybe they'll relax a bit around your work.

ya i run Belin's too. 1----'s on plastic, and 3----'s on aluminum/acm. Agreed that 4 passes to cut a square out of ACM is bonkers, but I still think this issue is chip evacuation & exaggerated by higher rpm's. I'm also using rough&multiple passes on the regular since my cuts are mostly 1/2"...

bigger bit, would be a good start, RPM's seem a bit high. I only use 1/8" bits when cutting detailed lettering, but if I were to be using it for 1/4" ACM I would be running at 19000 climb and only .063-080" per pass. big fan of using 1/4" bit for all of my square-panel cuts and especially on...

id try to make the existing graphics work. +1 to hand-trimming 3/16" off the graphic, and remind him that if he wants you to produce graphics for him to apply....then he has to properly spec. the conditions of the vinyl/layout or pay for redos. seems silly that 3/16" would fall outside of the...

more power to them, if they wants to throw the site some $$$ just to have me immediately click the "ignore" button. still tempted to find his email address and subscribe him to Cat Fancy Magazine & associated mailing lists.

RapidTac II for cold weather, yes it sets up faster.... almost too fast, for fair weather/indoor applications. Not a fan of trying to use it for all installs, but we stock it alongside the Original RapidTac & our in-house soap&water fluid.

220 = 7125 = 7725 same vinyl only difference between 220/7125 & 7725 is a synthetic liner.

we've done pan-formed tenant replaces "on the cheap" by jigsaw cutting out a square/flat-portion of the face and gluing&rivoting a polycarb face over the top. paint the border black or opaque to match the sign cabinet and you can hardly tell. Basically using the formed perimeter as the new...

always wanting more.... sooooo American
