  1. 6" Black "Reflexite"

    no one makes high intensity/diamond grade black, as far as I know.+ +1 suggestions for engineer-grade else if anyone ever hard-set on the high intensity stuff, I'd be printing rich black honeycomb-chevron patterns onto whichever base color to add a "day/night" effect to the vinyl. (some base...

  3. PANTONE Reflex Blue vinyl?

  5. News We are classified as?

    I'd like to think of any sign company, big or small, as communications with elements of service & manufacturing. Providing essential services to essential services, such as education/medical/government/food/transportation/gunshows, that cannot provide their essential services without your...
  6. Replacing The Long (5'+) Ribbon Cables That Go From The Head To The Mainboard?

    the only main difference in ribbon cables, is conductor-count & spacing.... i.e. ways/pitch. If you take your OEM cable and put it head to head with the one that DigiPrint sent you, chances are they're the same and one just "feels" thicker but it might just have a different coating. I have...
  7. Need Help Stolen Design?

    i see the similarities, in layout, but varsity font plus school mascot is pretty standard for anything and everything I've ever done for local highschool projects. still a bummer tho'. 600 signs, plus however many other schools they pitched this idea to, is a missed opportunity. ...but...

    thread piracy, but i'll abide. only the bottom roller rotates via motor, nip pressure rotates the system.
  10. Need Help Need Help with Laminator Purchase

    Have had my seal 54 base for ~10years, and zero complaints. Whichever laminator you choose, get one with a heat assist to reduce any potential silvering. only service I've had to do on the machine was re-wire the foot pedal cable, as it had pulled out of its internally-soldered connection...
  11. Laminating Paper

    those take-up rollers fit a vinyl cardboard tube, at least mine does. to give it enough "friction" so that it doesn't just spin, i crush the center of the tube by stomping on it with my foot. Gives a bit of a tighter fit when sleeving it onto the takeup roll, but when we need to replace it...

  13. Need Help Edge lifting on 3M IJ180 during printing

  14. Suggestions Glueing PVC Letters to PVC Backer

    you've got thick letters and a thick backer.... I'd be routing them both with matching mounting holes and just use a brush with a few dabs adhesive while you finish with rivots/cs-screws/studs
  15. Printer service call labor costs vs. doing the work yourself

    its a GREAT idea! especially if you're slow due to shut-down, and an added bonus that you're further limiting your shop to exposure from outside elements. just keep in mind, that you can always do more harm than good if you simply start ripping things apart. treat it like a computer, that...
  16. Onyx question.

    have you contacted onyx? could just have communications issues/conflicts related to your firewall/antivirus software edited to add: the knowledge base also touches on issues with onyx/hp driver conflicts if both are not kept up2date. maybe one printer is running a v.5.1 and another is a...
  17. 38' Cigarette Boat... Seams???

    sans-seams, whenever possible. i see no difference between 12' and 150' when it comes to lamination, unless you're rocking a bigsqueegee and a 10' table but there's still ways to make that work.
