  1. Income Inequality

    That's hilarious! you and your two amigos are like the kids in the back of the station wagon and mom challenges you to see who can stay quiet the longest. It lasts about 2 minutes. You couldn't put me on ignore for two days without breaking it. You love the drama and juice as much as anyone...
  2. Idea for an Inexpensive Charcoal Air Scrubber / Filter

    If they haven't since you replaced all the lights in your paint booth with grow lights, they have bigger fish to fry. LOL
  3. Income Inequality

    For a guy criticizing how much time others spend on these forums and their motivations, you sure have found a way to be on here from dawn to dark EVERY day of the week. Must be tough typing and running a lift at the same time all day. Nobody is talking about one's success or failure. We're...
  4. SP540 Headstricks with 13oz banner

    Especially on new rolls of media that are really heavy, we run an extra 8-10 inches of material down the platen in the front, switch our head height to the up position and then unroll a couple feet of material off the roll to take some that tension off the rollers. Once the roll gets a little...
  5. Idea for an Inexpensive Charcoal Air Scrubber / Filter

    Yeah, you'll be "printing" the green if you follow the drift of the product literature.
  6. Income Inequality

    To your first point and the $64,000 question that myself, rossmosh, BobbyH, equippaint and a few have tried to answer. Whether the divide is limited to just the super rich and the rest of us or not, WHEN does it become large enough to cause destabilization in a society and create such problems...
  7. What equipment can you not live without? When to buy it

    The core of our large format printing like most shops is done on our 54" Roland VP-540. It is our workhorse and without it or a similar printer, we'd be at the mercy of becoming print brokers and not actual craftspeople plying our trade every day. The laminator is the other most used tool. We do...
  8. Income Inequality

    They are called sources of reference you pinhead. Sandwiched between the links of actual real news worthy information are observations and perspective built from a lifetime of being in a working class trade that has seen plenty of transformation directly related to the topic at hand. There are...
  9. Income Inequality

    You mean like Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, kid rock, Robert kraft, jerry jones, Larry Ellison, the Koch Bros, etc. I think most people would be very surprised to see a list of conservatives occupying those same professions.
  10. Income Inequality

    How did you define "income inequality" to arrive at your "facts"? The attached list has a whole slew of developing and poor countries with better equality than we do. When did China ban internal migration? I can't seem to find a significant source for that. What does the working and economic...
  11. Income Inequality

    It's all connected to each other. It also is no coincidence that the victims of all that discrimination at the lower class levels are still struggling. If you've ever been to San Francisco, you'll find no shortage of poor, menial laborers of Chinese descent. On the east coast, descendants of...
  12. Need advice on cut vinyl project

    It depends on the surface its going, expected longevity, etc. For a flat surface with a 2-5 year expectation of durability, we use 3M IJ35c and 8509 laminate. We'll offer cast wrap and laminate for longer lasting expectations. Solid color vinyl in either Oracal 651, 751 or 951 grade depending on...
  13. Income Inequality

    You're just too stupid to see those cross connections or any other connection that doesn't fit your narrow world view. You two fools can try and make this about me, but the reality is that the discussion moved past you both after about the second post.
  14. Income Inequality

    Somewhat related but I watched this documentary last night on PBS, which likely trigger even more inaccurate, perception driven comments about laziness, god's will, etc. but just a horse to water, you can lead an idiot to knowledge and not make him learn anything. We've never had a true...
  15. Need advice on cut vinyl project

    Doing it as a print_cut would be the way we'd do it, but we do them nearly every day, so setting up the cutlines, bleeds to make it work easier where the two colors overlap so it could just be a single diecut is a little tougher for someone not experienced in doing it. You could always break...
  16. Wrapping a Pillar

    Any cylindrical or curved surface is going to be harder to get seams to match up on, and if you did three pieces going around the entire circumference and stacked, you'd actually have the two horizontal seams to have to match as well as the ends of each of the three pieces. Visually, I think it...
  17. Income Inequality

    They can't see it because the level and depth of the "USA #1, Inc." indoctrination process as well as our educational system that perpetuates that process is long and deep. It is far easier and less work to cling to jingoistic catchphrases, deeply entrenched urban legends and myths promulgated...
  18. Need advice on cut vinyl project

    We all started somewhere. If doing this work and using these machines was so easy, everybody would be doing it. My advice to you and the OP is to seek out all the reference material you can, YouTube videos, manuals, etc. And please don't be shamed into holding back from asking questions here...
  19. Probably a dumb question but......

    Can you launch Illustrator CC at all? If so, create a new file and try to place the .eps in it. Have you cleared your cache, checked to see if there are still any lingering preferences that Didn't get erased when you uninstalled?
  20. Random Next Day Bubbles

    No, you are not the only one. It would seem to be waste of effort given the superior pressure and evenness of machine mounting. We'll bray the edges with a roller, but the whole idea of using the laminator is that its superior to hand mounted for the afore mentioned reasons.
