  1. chrome wrap

    I'm confused. Are you actually trying to sell your chrome delete to a bunch of industry people?:roflmao:
  2. Continue with Roland print and cut solutions or move to a 2 piece print and cut solution?

    Like everyone else has said go with separate machines. If you have the space available for separate machines do it. I have recently move from a Roland print/cut setup to separate machines with a Summa and I am kicking myself that I didn't do it years ago. Definitely way better.
  3. perf cutting

    Every vinyl is going to be different and also the blade depth / type of blade will also make a difference. But for a start I have a 60° in my Summa right now and my settings were in the attached screenshot. I did my contour cut first and removed the material and weeded it out and then put the...
  4. Contra Vision Perforated Window Film

    I have been using the Contravision Performance perf for a long time. I have never used the campaign version, just the 60/40 Performance and HD Performance. I still have some 10ft x 90in windows I did I think around 3 years ago still up and haven't start to lift at all, I had just checked them...
  5. Perforated vinyl application...

    According to Contravision documentation they say to butt the ends and not use an overlap. Like it has been said use an overlap and cut it afterwards. I went by an install I did probably around 4 years ago on some 10ft x 7ft windows and they still look great.
  6. Looking for Thick Laminate Suggestions

    I wouldn't use either of those 3M vinyl's for a motorsports application. You are going to want something more aggressive meant for plastics. You want a Low Surface Energy material. I'd pair their laminate with their vinyl. I can't comment on the performance of their materials yet as I am waiting...
  7. Noobie Questions about these "templates"

    Simple answer is no. Chances are any of the templates you see online won't be accurate to just trace out and use. There are some websites I think that will sell you the templates, but I don't remember who they are off hand. I also haven't used any of them so I don't know how good they are. If...
  8. Customer artwork

    It's really pretty simple, just tell them it is not vector artwork regardless of the file extension and they will need to submit acceptable artwork if they don't want to pay for it. If they don't want to believe me so be it, it's really not the type of customer I want. Some people will just not...
  9. What did these guys use to remove this trailer wrap???

    I don't know if it was this. But it definitely was not my experience with this product. I ended up throwing it in the garbage after trying it with 0 results. http://www.crystaltek.us.com/crystaltek-vinyl-off.htm
  10. Rant I've frickin' had it.............................................

    Any time I have issues with Illustrator I will reset the preferences and that would normally clear up the issues. Pretty much close Illustrator and delete the preferences folder. When you reopen Illustrator it will automatically recreate the folder, however you will have to setup all of your...
  11. Discussion Walk away or re-do

    I'd just ask him how slow he races if someone can notice 3/16". Unless it was replacement numbers going inside an outline or something like that where it doesn't look right, but still 3/16" is pretty damn small and would barely be noticeable. But he didn't do it wrong. The regulations will...
  12. Identification tags / text labels for Artworks in illustrator

    I'm not sure which software/cutter you are using but I know with Illustrator if you don't expand the text and you send it to a Roland CutStudio it doesn't send the the text. It will only send the what has been expanded. The other option is when you create the label and expand it, make it guide...
  13. Question how to automate cutting paths on a vector image

    You can do this with actions and using offset path instead of setting a stroke weight as the stroke weight have to be setup individually, whereas offset path will add a new same color object behind the original to provide the bleed. Not exactly what you were asking for, but a work around. See my...
  14. A strange "what would you charge"

    I agree with this guy. He will pay what it's worth to him for getting him out of a bind if he is a decent person. At least cost of ink and some time. If he comes back and doesn't pay anything then you know what kind of person he is in reality. But if he is a decent guy then you know if you are...
  15. CMYK question

    Before you place your file are you making sure your color mode is in CMYK? File -> Document Color Mode -> CMYK. By the sounds of it you are trying to place it in when the document is set for RGB.
  16. What the #$&% is up with new notebook computers in 2019?

    Why do you need so much RAM? 128GB of RAM is completely overkill. I also have no idea what you are using it for, but if you are using a 2011 laptop and it's working, then like I said it's completely overkill. I have been using my original Surface Book since they have come out and I have never...
  17. Making cable loops/clamps

    Here are a couple of options. This site is specific to racing go karts, but you can probably find them elsewhere. They are used as throttle cable clamps. https://www.accelerationkarting.com/throttlecableclamp.html https://www.accelerationkarting.com/anodizedthrottlecableclamp.html
  18. Sports sports sports? ZZzzzzzzzz

    I only watch the same sports I am involved in. So Formula 1 racing and squash. Both are fairly boring to watch for most, however, I like to watch to try and learn something new.
  19. Nifty Tips - Measurements from your desk

    Skip the Spike by Ike and buy the Stanley Smart Measure Pro instead. I think The Spike by Ike is made by Stanley anyway and then marketed to us by our suppliers. I brought it up to one of my supplier's sales guys who was advertising it a lot and they couldn't believe it. They wanted me to bring...
