  2. Foam Core Board Hanger?

    Use foam type double face tape. For a sheet that size a stripe 2-4" long in the 4 corners would be more than enough. Should it need to come down you can cut the foam in the tape with a length string tied to 2 pencils and saw thru the tape.

    ADA requirements have recently changed, is the recessed engraved area for the braille still acceptable?
  4. Foam Core Board Hanger?

    Why not to use double face tape or velcro?
  5. Shipping status L25500

    Installation of our machine was completed last Thursday, didn't start to use it till Monday, seems to produce a good print on vinyl and paper. Don't care for what I have seen on the JetFlex banner so far, the scrim of the banner is rather promounced on dark solid colors. It is nice to have solid...
  6. Masking Tape for printed material.

    So what, why would you need it to stick to the backing, if it's a problem of the transfer tape curling, cut off a 1/2" of the backing material and fold the edge of the transfer tape and stick it to the back side of the backing film. Do that on both ends and it shouldn't curl

    We got a second wrong plug today, but I stopped at Lowes and picked up a plug which I installed on the end of the one cord that came with the machine that just had no plug. Sales rep said HP advised their supplier miss marked the cords and they found today they had sent at least 10 of the wrong...

  10. Shipping status L25500

    We ordered from Advantage on 10/31 and it was delivered today. The sales rep was at our shop about an hour after it arrived and assembled it but was unable to complete the setup because it only had one power cord rather than the 2 required. So he has ordered one for what he hopes will be next...
  11. Gradients

    We use Flexi 8.6 and had be told that the Dither Type must be set as "SO", it slows the rip time but prints a good gradient rather than bands of color.

  13. Table tent material

    We print vinyl mount on 0.060" polystyrene and use a home made 36" long strip heater to bend. Have also use 1/8" acrylic using same process. Takes about 45-60 seconds to heat, we then put the folded piece in fixture to cool. Works very well.
  14. Trying to color match a metallic

    In order to match a metalic vinyl, you will need to find someone with a printer that prints silver, such as a Roland.
  15. Another Company besides Fellers ?

    Harbor Sales Co.
  16. Gloss Vs Matte Print media

    You need to use a profile for the material or at least try one for gloss material. We get good results printing on Orialite with our Falcon II Outdoor, have not gotten good prints on Avery reflective.
  17. Large custom check

    If you do a test, better supply one of the type pens you test. We have tried tests with good results on more than one occation, only to have the customer use a pen that does not come off with a rag or any type of cleaner. Now we just use dry erase lam, Fellers has one that works.
  18. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    Rather than a heat gun, use a propane torch with a few quick passes, the torch will burn the fibers off rather than melt them together. It's the same process used in the mills making cloth to remove the fuzz when textiles are woven, the cloth passes across an open flame at about 10 mph and fuzz...

    I have renewed and change several awnings in place. Clean with water then alcohol. For adhesive cleaning we have found MAX PROFESSIONAL to be the best stuff available, comes out of Florida. After cleaning we paint with OneShot Lettering Enamel using a foam roller. The first one we did was about...
  20. clear vinyl

    We have use Orical 210 laminate, and mounted on brushed aluminum and clear acrylic, has always looked clear. If you've not printed on clear, unless you have a printed that prints white, keep in mind inks are translucent and without white the colors are light. If not mounted on a white substrate...
