  6. MDO Price Hike

    so a $40 sheet is going up by $5? I'd be more worried about the price increases if Biden wins. Just quote it. You should be upcharging your costs of materials anyways, so existing quotes should still make you money but new ones should reflect the price increase. If your clients are out...

  11. Question Dried solvent Ink

    typically, finished product off of a solvent/ecosolvent printer SHOULD be laminated for longevity and at that point, its no different than having a plastic fork on your dinner table. If unlaminated, its still not "bad"...i guess, BUT little bits of plastic (pigments) will most likely scratch...

  13. People are getting edgy lately...

    virtue signaling is trendy nowadays. Much easier to join the mob in shaming others, than live in fear of the mob turning on you instead. ...and yeah, the mask is definitely an amplifier. between protests, rallies, covid, & swinger parties... you'll definitely notice its the people wearing...

    i just made a script in Adobe Acrobat, that converts a .pdf file to outlines. Now I just open the file, click a button, and then click another button and it saves over itself. steps are available via google if you need to do it yourself, basically requires you to add a watermark to the...

  19. Need Help Why does this chinese printer have a bad printout when i add ink.

    are you manually filling by pouring from a bottle or are you simply replacing ink cartridges? my best guess is that you ran your ink low to the point of starvation and even though you've refilled the supply you're still not getting fresh ink to the printhead properly at the start of your print.
  20. I need to Uninstall a lighted sign.. If it difficult?

    youtube "Lock Out Tag Out" and you'll be fine. its all about making sure that you've disconnected power from the source, and lock out any possibility of someone turning on the power while you have your hands on the wires. disconnect wires, cover each wire with wire nut & secure with electrical...
