  1. Need some help with an FC9000 Graphtec

    I'm using 2 name brand thumb drives, 1 with cut vinyl stuff on it and the other with print/cut on it. Not much is on either one, we usually do the same crap over and over. We are using CM4 for registration and barcodes, haven't had any issues with cut lines using a hairline stroke not converted...
  2. Need some help with an FC9000 Graphtec

    We've had this plotter about 6 months, use CM4 and print through Rasterlink. We're using barcodes or trying to but they don't really work for crap. The barcodes will generally not work with anything over a few feet long. When we manually start these same longer files (all 3 feet of it), it can...
  3. Price check: Install 4 posts along a hillside

    Ask why, Don't be scared. You spent your time making an estimate, you deserve to know why they went somewhere else. There is no shame is cordially calling out a customer or potential customer that went to another company and you can learn a lot from it. If your head goes straight to price...
  4. Premasked striping woes

    Stripes are tough. I won't put on decals unless we make them and there's no way that I am the only one. The making them is the gravy part and I don't give up my gravy. Gnubler, I know that you have to pay the bills and your market is different than mine but you have to get away from this sort...
  5. Photoshop Beta / Generative Fill

    Does anyone remember smarter child, the chatbot? It was fun to ask it dirty questions and see what it'd say but was relatively useless. This seems like the same thing.
  6. Vinyl on Corrugated Metal Building Peeling/Shrinking

    Kynar, which is the paint used on good panels, is like Teflon. SMP coatings have silicone in them. You're going to have a hard time getting vinyl to stick to either one.
  7. Can someone explain this to me?

    They're garbage in the auto/truck world. Guess not in signs?
  8. Can someone explain this to me?

    Scotchloks? You are from Arkansas I suppose.
  9. Pre press artificial intelligence

    I need an AI girlfriend. Just a side job cuz I wouldn't trust her cooking me dinner.
  10. How to get rid of dust on my prints ???

    I'd start by getting rid of the Christmas decorations that are on your printer. Store your print vinyl vertical too.
  11. Can someone explain this to me?

    It's like a pressure relief valve on water, you don't have to plumb it in and out of the blow off. I don't know how it works exactly but it's supposed to absorb or "blow off" current spikes hence the wiring diagram.
  12. Trying to settle on a printer for home production decals.

    Breakers get old, panels get old and you start to have issues with bad connections. You can hear a sizzle sound when it starts happening. Eventually, the bus bar gets so hot at the loose connection point that it can melt and bridge the one below it which causes the panel to arc in a bad way...
  13. Trying to settle on a printer for home production decals.

    Codes are just suggestions. I said the less used/unused circuit. That's 100% the employees fault. The office is heated, nobody told him that he could bring more.
  14. Suggestions Insurance coverage

    It's getting worse and worse. I remade our website about a year ago and got rid of anything that the underwriters didn't like. Then they checked Facebook. With autos, they want a garage liability policy. Ours doubled this year.
  15. Trying to settle on a printer for home production decals.

    I'm still partial to Mimaki. Not sure about the new lineup but the older stuff was great.
  16. Trying to settle on a printer for home production decals.

    Just double up the least used breaker. C'mon man!
  17. Question Mimaki JV150 OEM Defective Damper from Digiprint short circuits printhead, slider board & main board

    Sounds like operator error. You probably bought some cheap Chinese damper and now you're looking for someone to be mad at for it. We've all done it at some point. Some less publicly than others.
  18. MIMAKI INKS

    I don't know what BS3 is but I'd go with SS21.
