  1. Credit Card Stolen Number, how did it happen?

    Wells Fargo, by chance? They must have the worst security because they were having credit card numbers hacked as soon as the cards were issued. I had 3 cards hacked in succession over the course of a few weeks before I found out that it was WF itself that was leaking the info. They were also...
  2. Water Slide Decals

    There's an older thread about this: https://www.signs101.com/threads/solvent-ink-compatible-waterslide-decal-media.76991/ Didn't sound like solvent ink played nicely with the water-based media. Maybe the UV ink would work better?
  3. Hem Tape for Canvas Banners?

    Okay, well, the iron-on hem tape works about as well as regular banner tape - IF you manage to get the heat/duration perfect. Some test pieces held really well in spots but left some spots completely unfused. So, I'm scrapping the idea of iron-on hem tape. Not worth the extra effort of trying to...
  4. Hem Tape for Canvas Banners?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm currently testing regular scrim banner tape and some of the iron-on hem tape I posted above. These will only be about 2'x3' and will be hanging under covered patios, so hopefully they will last a couple months until it's time to update the menus again. I'll update...
  5. Hem Tape for Canvas Banners?

    Uh... tape a hem.
  6. Hem Tape for Canvas Banners?

    Happy Friday S101! Can anyone recommend an iron-on hem tape that is suitable for canvas? Specifically, I'm using the Magic 15mil polyblend (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/MagicGFCVM). Our F&B department continues to last-minute me for menus and I don't have time to send them for sewing...
  7. Okay, I think I have a winner here..................................................................................

    Got one of my favorites yesterday: customer walks in, looks around a bit, and then asks 'Do you have any signs that say "Caution: Hot Kiln. Please do not touch surface".' Sure! I keep loads of incredibly specific warning signs laying about just in case you ever needed one. Don't you just love it...
  8. Better Late Than Never

    I swear, no one has maintained the signs in this place for what seems like decades. I mean, how long does it take for lichen to grow on a sign in a parking lot? And the landscaping crew must be laughing every week as they slowly eat away at the bottom of the post, just waiting for it to fall...
  9. Need Help Connecting a Roland Sp540v to computer/VersaWorks

    I have SP-300V and it just connects with a standard USB-A to USB-B printer cable. I imagine the 54" is the same.
  10. Should I buy this saw?

    We had one of these in my last shop. It worked great for MDO, and I would assume would cut ACM and aluminum just as well with the correct blade. I do know there's an optional hold-down bar that can be added (the vertical bar on the far right with the red knobs and black bands) to help keep...
  11. S101 slow for anyone else?

    Slow here, but intermittently. Works fine for a bit and then click a new thread and... nothing.
  12. ESL3 Cleaning Cartridges?

    Thank you both! I finally got a referral from our old supplier for a new one that's local here in Richmond. Carts will be here today. It's for an old SP-300V that we're retiring. And thanks for the links. I've bookmarked both to come back and poke around to see what else they have
  13. Wonky Cuts on Brand New HP/Summa Plotter

    Thank you Stacey and JBurton!! Geez, I spent a good half hour messing with settings and doing test cuts trying to figure out that the frickin blade was loose...
  14. Wonky Cuts on Brand New HP/Summa Plotter

    Ugh. Both our brand new HP printer and plotter have gone out of commission today. Not sure what's going on with the plotter. Everything is cutting wonky - like not closing shapes and cuts not lining up. Has anyone seen this before? Everything seems to be working correctly. I've tried sending...
  15. ESL3 Cleaning Cartridges?

    Good morning, can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy some Roland cleaning cartridges for ESL3 inks? My local ink supplier has recently gone out of business and I'm skeptical of the dozens of lookalike sites that google gives me. I'm located in Virginia if that makes a difference. Thank you!
  16. Connector for HP/Summa 54" Plotter?

    Thanks! That's what I needed to know. I put in a second network card already for the printer, so I'm stuck with USB for the plotter. I'm specifically going around our IT department and connecting the new printer directly versus over the network. Our IT department is horrible and I don't want...
  17. Connector for HP/Summa 54" Plotter?

    We have a new HP printer/plotter combo coming our way and I'm currently shopping for a couple new cables, but cannot find specific information on the type of connector used on the plotter. All the Summa documentation simply says "USB". Is that USB-A, B, or C? 2.0? 3.0? And what about longer...
  18. Tech-Challenged Boss Reconciling Online Purchases

    Yeah, he's definitely old school. And Notareal is absolutely right too - he's the boss so he shouldn't have to hunt for the info he needs. It should be easy for him and hard for me.
  19. Tech-Challenged Boss Reconciling Online Purchases

    We spoke a bit more about this today and he's pretty defensive about it. He seems certain that I'm doing something wrong and causing these orders to be split into separate orders. Whatever. He's older and set in his ways (which is perfectly fine) so I'm not going to put up too much of a fight...
