  1. How to hook up old Roland plotter?

    I sold my Summa 30" plotter, and now I'd like to hook up my 28 year old Roland PNC-1050 sprocket-feed plotter. Could someone kindly provide me with a step by step procedure on exactly what I need to do? I have it connected and powered up ok (Serial). I tried to use the Summa Winplot that I...
  2. canvas prints scuff easily - help!

    Thanks Bob. I REALLY don't like gallery wraps. They just look cheesy to my eye. I much prefer black gaffer's tape around the edge. I have tried stretching them first, but have been astounded at how easily it is to knock off a bit of ink from the "peaks" of the textured surface. It's like you...
  3. canvas prints scuff easily - help!

    BTW, how much dry time is required on a canvas print before applying the Clear Shield? (EcoSolvent Ink). Printing on vinyl requires 24 hours (or more) because the ink affects the adhesive, but when there's no adhesive involved, such as with canvas, can we apply the Clear Shield sooner?
  4. canvas prints scuff easily - help!

    ^^^ Yes, I'm sure that's the problem, as the previous roll of Neschen Monet canvas never shrank at all.
  5. canvas prints scuff easily - help!

    No, it doesn't. Like I said, the ClearShield liquid laminate caused the shrinkage as it dried. You can't laminate canvas, which is what I'm speaking about.
  6. canvas prints scuff easily - help!

    Sorry to resurrect this 10 year old thread, but it’s right on point. I just printed (EcoSol) a number of large prints on a new (cheaper) brand of canvas than my previous roll, and after coating two of the 36” x 48”prints with ClearChield, I discovered that the drying of the ClearShield caused...
  7. Vinyl removal from hell

    I'll explain further. The awning is very very large (long), belonging to the building owner (not the various businesses), and it has other businesses logos on it, and all I need to do is "remove" this one logo, not replace it.
  8. Vinyl removal from hell

    I tried it yesterday with very warm sun on it, so no heat gun required. I also tried it after it was in the shade, and there didn't seem to be much of a difference.
  9. Vinyl removal from hell

    Not possible. The awning is massive and affixed to the building.
  10. Vinyl removal from hell

    I'm not at all worried or asking about the customer relationship in this case, he's actually a friend of mine. What I'm asking about is an easier way to get the vinyl off. I normally just use a [dulled] razor blade scraper, get a corner of a letter started and then clasp it between my index...
  11. Vinyl removal from hell

    Just under three years ago I lettered a vinyl awning for a customer, and I used Avery cast (white) vinyl. I have now been asked to remove the lettering, and thought that it would be easy, but it’s turning out to be the most difficult vinyl removal I’ve ever experienced in my 33 years of sign...

  15. First Signcraft magazine

    ^^^ I just checked now; no, I don't see that. While we're at it everyone, I have a bunch of old sign books that I'm selling, and I've easily found their value online, but I can't find anything pertaining to this 9.25" x 12.25" hardcover by Atkinson. Any ideas on its value?

    Is this first edition of Signcraft Magazine rare or of any value? (I also have a bunch of others from 1990 to 2009)
